Is there any difference between the 1.8 16v front brakes and the G60 ones? Can I fit a G60 system to my 16v? Will it improve the brakes. Thanks G
-
I am still waiting for some one to do a conversion to the convertible. If I had cash and space and time I might have tried :):)
-
prices are on the up. They are slowly reaching classic status. G
-
yep then mine is leather. but it is 4 spoke not 3 spoke.

Hey yeah I blead the brakes but the pedal feel is not much better. there was very little air in the system. rear brakes are good and working. handbrake needs fixing. I reckon new discs and pads on the front will be the ans. I think the biggest problem is all the other cars I drive are brand new (except the lotus which is but isn't) and they all have decent brakes. I would like to get a sort of TT type brake feel but at very little cost.

bighairymuppet, Also only have 1.8 16v. I will be looking into it :). What car was the 6L V12 in? I love the torque got from the big lumps such as V12 V8 and W12. All very awesome.
-
Hope you get it sorted mate. It is never good when things like this happen. G
-
Henny, What sort of torque are/were you getting out of your lump. Also what was the curve like. you wouldn't have a plot of it would you? :) What can be done to make the 1.8 16v more tourquey for as little cash. G
-
Have you had a chance to take the pics of the Recaros yet? G
-
Doh then I would be too young too. :(
-
you should be able to uprate ( or get and uprated ) haldex diff to cope with the Torque. I will dig out a book I have on diffs and have a look. G

:offtopic1: I don't know about my wheel. I think it is leather but they were not an option on my car AFAIK. How do you tell. I know this is off topic........ Sorry :offtopic1:
-
yeah that is what it cost form GSF. I will pop in there and pick up a set
-

It is a class day out. Did you dress up? Last year if you dressed in period clothes you got into the paddock free Pls post pic's as i didnt go this year

Should I only buy genuine ones or can I go for the German and Swedish ones.

I am using 15W50 and rate it as the best oil i have ever used. go for it as it work well in a slightly worn engine. G
-
that is a long time for it to be in there with out it making a noise. What ever the case i think it is safe to say that he has been very lucky this time round
-
how much did a new belt and tensioner set you back?
-
Tis a novel way to increase the compression ratio
-
Ok so the bolt will heat up very quickly but on every stroke i would have thought that it would do something different. It wouldnt have welded its self to the head would it?
-
But surly after each ignition stroke the bolt would come lose.
-
If it came in thur the valve surly it would have damaged the valve a bit. there is not a lot of time for that to drop thur
