How do you find the white front calipers for showing dirt/keeping clean mate?

You have me fancying changing mine to white.

Another great update mYGel. I wonder what commercial/product would use a car like yours?? We'll see soon enough I'm sure

I really enjoy your updates, so please keep them coming. It's the place where our dreams are your reality! The car seems fast enough, so with further upgrades to the engine, will you be expecting to see greater gains, or will it be to extract the last few bhp and to further improve realiability?

Hopefully the interior has been stripped for a rollcage, and that some interior pieces will be going back in? New front seats?

Anyways, have a good Christmas buddy

Sorry havet checked for a while. Thanks Hope you had a nice Christmas and new year to mate!

It is out now i will link it in next post haha i dont think it is what u think haha
but fun to be in Comercial tv on all bigger channels in Sweden and so

i have looked in to a a Half Rollcage but couldnt find any one for right price also the girlfriend sayed it was a big no no haha

Dont know about the Power but so far this is what should have been here long time ago..
Hate the Customs and postal service will write the paqrts in next post also

tried to find good priced Sportster CS but couldnt se we will tremodell the Ones i have.
Most parts will come back in again will build a New Subwoffer enclosure with new subs stronger amps etc.

Remeber it is my daily driver so i want all in it

Cheers

Well i do like them as white but it is a pita to keep them clean haha
My rears are easier to keep clean

But fronts color has cracked little after the heat when i sat them on fire haha

So will have to repaint them or so if i want them to be mint again

If you clean the car quite often and use pads with little dust it isnt so bad to keep them clean

but also depends on what rims u have if you can come thrue to clean them ?

Cheers mate

Cheers Michel.

It still doesn't entirely make my mind up though lol.

I have Pro Race 1.2 wheels and I'm fitting the 362mm brake setup daveB offers along with four pot brembos. I'll be running Pagid RS4-2 pads which some say are a little dusty, I suppose with the discs being slotted they "maybe" too much for white calipers. I don't know, I'm unsure what colour to do them (front and rear).

Jonny at Brake Caliper Refurbs was telling me you were having your fronts redone. He is doing mine also. I just thought the white calipers would look nice on a white car, colour coded.

White calipers is very Nice if u ask me
Just be prepared to wash them especially with pads
that are dusty. I used Ferodo DS2500 i dont know if they dust more or less than other pads.
But still if you keep them washed quite often the dust should bite on the coulor and be easy to wash off.

Yes talked to Jonny after Dave told me to contact him. it so much right now soim saving to send maybe both front and rears and get them in cars color instead of white. But im not really sure yet maybe just have the fronts refurbed? rears are like new still. But then again i havent been able to set the rears at fire yet as i have with the fronts haha

Yes. It's not cheap to have them professionally refurb'd is it. Jonny uses a special ceramic coating that apparently can even repel brake fluid and a simple jet wash returns them to as new.

Ah, decisions decisions!!!!!

Ps. Hope they didn't ruin any of your interior when the guy dropped his mcflurry in the tv commercial lol.

Haha. I can't help you with regards colour, I've been racking my brain for weeks lol.

What CR you opted for mate?

Also, what sort of time frame you given yourself for this new build? No rush I suppose so long as its ready for the season.

 

[fliksm]

You have a nice car

Pistons should when in engine give CR 9:5.1 if we calculated it right.

actually it really should have been ready in 9days and been on a show here in Stockholm. But because of customs delays etc it will be hard. it is doable.

But still i dont want to stress the engine builder to much, he has been waiting for weeks to start building.

So kind of starting to let that plan and show go. :/ not good for me but maybe the best to do.

And aim full for next show instead in about 2 months. And know that everything is 100% instead of stressing it togheter. it will be short of time even getting it done by then also.

But at latest it has to be ready before Elmia Custom motor show now in mars, that is the biggest indoor show in Sweden and that i cant miss.
But our first aim is the show that starts in 9days..
Lets se how that turns out

pics will come when i have some to share

You have a nice car

Thanks Mate!

 

[Cupra R]

I look forward to the updates mate.

 

[mossy]

i nlove the look of it with the black roof and bonnet
