Looking good Scottie

my original thought was to try and keep the stealth look about it.

But then i thought the sound of the car and the big as F*#k drag wing on the rear kind of gives it away lol

Are you coming to happy laps Ants? even if its just spectating and racking up KM's on the Anteater but no tracking
i will see how I go mate. Still got a bit of resto / paint work to do on car before it runs again.

Plus suspension and brakes need some Zac attention :)

Nice one. Mr Scott, how goes the brakes?

Quite good actually .Well the car doesnt get driven all that much but when it went to QR they handled really well. However my mechanic seems to think I put them on upside down. Either way they still seem to work fine

Ants, loving the CF detail in the map pockets. Very nice!

I went through a stage a CF wrapping almost everything. It gets so addictive

How did you manage to put them on the wrong good way around? Pics!

well Richo reckons the bleeder should be on the top and not the bottom like Ive done. SO the Left Caliper should actually be on the right rotor and vise-versa. If you know what I mean...

#@MagicMikeZ32 might be able to shed some light on this?

I reckon he is right

He races cars every weekend so I think he is right as well. HE reckons that there "may" be some air left in them right at the top. So potentionally they will work even better. however the effort of taking them off and on again really doesn't tickle my fancy

I agree. They work really really well once warm now. Hard to think they could be even better!

Also a put a fresh set of plugs in yesterday so my misfiring issue is resolved short term. New coil project in the works though

They won't stop you faster or anything but it will give you a better pedal feel which is always handy.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
