Well did the usuall e-bay/pistonheads/ed38 classifieds, then thought i would have a look on gumtree for some reason and there it was, must have been as the guy listed it 5 mins before i started looking on there.

 

And think the brakes will be staying as gonna need better stoppers soon anyway.

Well today i fitted the upper intake tube i bought from Awesome, its a lovely fit after heating up the 19mm silicone hoses, but apart from that very happy with it, and the idle is even smoother than before, and no burning oil smell as the old plastic one was totally fubard, and the tiny amount of oil coming out the crankase was falling onto the exhaust wrap on the 6 branch.

 

Then treated the engine to some Fuch Pro Race S oil, and its even quiter than before seriously you cannot hear the engine ticking over at all.

 

Hopefully tomorrow will be fitting the Brembo's.

yeh it is a dummy sensor, did have it not fitted first of all but prefered it with it in as it just broke up the piece of silicone.

[robrado974 1]

Ten hours ! No air gettin in there somewhere ?. Matt has the same problem with that set up he has .I know he bled them with chris langers and them bubbles just kept coming .

[Supercharged 2]

Have you bled the mast cyl Karl?

 

Got the calipers the right way round?

[KADVR6 0]

there is no air getting in (i think) as there is no bubbles coming from anywhere,

 

i have bled everywhere about 8 times, inc master cylinder, ABS pump, and yeh steve the calipers are the right way around with the bleed nipples facing up.

[robo22sri 10]

Where is the pics of them fitted?

 

Have you been using an easibleed or the old fashion way?

[KADVR6 0]

will get a pic in a bit, and using an easybleed with a spare tyre which i am keeping at 15psi all the time.

[Supercharged 2]

Try 25-30PSI mate

[KADVR6 0]

Try 25-30PSI mate

 

Really?? havent tried that much PSI as it does say on the easybleed not to exceed 20psi, and did not want to potentially blow any seals

 

and here ya go Rob

I tried using an easibleed when I fitted my wilwoods on my astra and it was a pain in the arse!

 

It was like it pushed the fluid through to quick! and the fluid was coming out with bubbles in it, I put a litre and half of fluid through the system :(

[Abdul 0]

They look awesome fella, maybe paint the calipers a more subtle colour?

[robo22sri 10]

Oh and they look the nuts behind them rims!

[KADVR6 0]

well have reversed the car onto some ramps so will try some gravity on it all because i'm not gonna be doing anything tomorrow to it. And yeh will be painting them black when its warmer.

I do remember reading somewhere that you have to bleed front right, front left, rear right then rear left in that order, my be worth looking at.

[TanVr6 0]

They look superb Karl.

Wish I bought some instead of the 312mm setup

Anyone wanna buy?

you may have got your front from your rear wrong?? but thanks for the reply.

[lewvw 10]

You should bleed from furthest from the reservoir to nearest. Sometimes though a manual bleed with a pressure bleeder attached is all that works. Sometimes.

well finally got the brakes bled, i just opened up every nipple and just let fluid ruin through for about 10 mins throughout the whole system.
