How much would you say it cost you to get this setup sorted, i was going down the power route but after a trip to the nurburgring and cooking my brakes i think i'll be going with brakes first, hope you can help

Cheers

Yo bud

It all depends on how much you get the calipers for they range in price tbh and I was lucky and grabbed them at a bargain.

There's a seller on eBay called integrasella he's the most constant with prices. Also it depends on what pads and discs you buy

It cost me £400 and I did all the installation plus on top you'll need 20mm hub centric spacers to run the brembos with oem wheels.

Hope that helps

That's a great price, are you running the 20mm spacers with your rota's? I'm guessing there 7.5j et45 like mine. Did that price include discs and pads or just for the calipers? [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

[ctr-lib]

My rotas are 17x8j et 35 and they have plenty of room for the calipers

That price included discs and pads but like I said I got the calipers for an awesome price

[nathanpar]

That's an amazing deal, do you have the guys email address? he doesn't seem to exist on ebay anymore .

[ctr-lib]

I didn't buy mine from them but IV helped others who have got the calipers from him.

Search for dc5 arb and check the seller its easier and drop him a line.

[nathanpar]

Ok awesome cheers for that, i'll be intouch when i've heard from him [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

I havent updated in a while so ill start with santa pod

Went to Santa pod fast show with one thing on my mind and that was the strip, I had to beat my dreadfull times from last year which I did

2011 - I managed a 15.4

2012 - I managed a 14.1

I'm over the moon with the time but I'm sure I could of got into the 13s oh well there's next year.

A few pictures from Santa pod






The next update

Well after lots of blood and sweat I finally had my oil cooler, also had a baffled sump insert fitted along with some semi slicks also had the geo tweaked.

Iv gone for federal RSR semi slicks the ment to be the best all round tyre,

Had the baffled sump fitted due to the increased cornering with semi slicks it can cause oil starvation due to the position of the oil pick up.

I went for a full mocal oil cooler kit with thermostatic sandwhich plate





with reg


Without reg

[Cosmic-Dan]

Oil cooler looks wicked, I'm in need of one of those.

PM,ed with various questions :thumbup:

[ctr-lib]

Abit of a sh!t update

Iv managed to kill one of my rota torques,

50mph + pot hole = dead rota

Luckily I stopped straight away so the tyre isn't damaged .
