Pads can be had from 60 - 260 euros, im just buying some normal pads and see how they performIve went to the breakers today and bought me a fuseepiece of a 306, tomorrow a friend of mine will come to collect the fuseepiece + old 330mm disc and a caliper, he will be making the adapter brackets to fit them! cant wait! Everytime i walk into the barn i s**t myself how big they are, lol! A old 306 with these huge calipers will do good on the COCKMETER http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw7D9cDQqHo |

Well, since my mate got fked by a donkey and couldnt come and help me... i decided to do some work and fiddle with the IC piping, one boostpipe is completely ready now for welding next week, otherone is almost done.     Brakepads got in, hopefully the adapters for the calipers will be finished in a week orso, so we can fit them  Car already had HIDs but with the awfull big starters, so i bought a new set with the small slim starters   Hopefully we can do the engine tomorrow or monday , then bringing some stuff to get welded, and then hopefully we can start next weekend by installing the engine and fitting everything back  |

Well the enginecrane wasnt available today :SSo i removed the Brembos that are sold to Specter and Marvin and me decided to finish all intercoolerpiping so i can get them welded this week. Plus we fabricated some nice alloy supportingbrackets for the intercooler and made a nice alloy support for the boostpipe.    And we pushed the beast out of its place     |

In the meanwhile i got tired of the yellow caliper laying in the kitchen (other one is with the adaptermakingdude) and ive painted it .....uhmmm FLUOR PINK, white base coat and a few layers of Fluor Pink... the pics dont even do them justice, ive tried 3 cameras and they all cant capture the real color of it... you can see these from MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!! away, theyre insanely bright, thought of doing the rollcage also this color, lolthe pics dont even come close to the real flashy color   Also change of plans, were going screamerpipe!!!!!! More fresh pics tomorrow |

To bad the cameras cant catch the fluorescent color, cause it really looks fantastic irl... they almost give light so bright!Space was tight, but we found 2 small spots where we can/could route it trough, tomorrow well mock it up and have it welded next week... i wont be driving this as a daily but just for fun, it might be loud as f**k as well     s**t i cant get them good on the camera... done with trying  with 2 boostpipes almost finished  And also bought a FPR with some nice AN fittings, wich will go nicely with the rest   |

You going to be heat wrapping. That manifold and turbo are going to be kicking out some serious heat + will let your turbo spool a little quicker.  ________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

thought this would have been running by now lol, looking good as ever mate. See the turbo oil drain, is that temporary or you planning to make a metal one? i would be worried about heat from manifold melting it and losing all your oil |

Were taking the time mate, i want everything perfect and finished, weve ditched a lot of hoses and rerouted things.This isnt a simple stick on turbo project, i did everything is just a few months, from brakes, suspension, interior, cage, engine everything... dont forgot i only own the car for a 5 months orso Drain wil be covered in a special cover against heat to protect it, |

thankyou, i know about the 30 degree rule, but i cant see another way to route it and have a screamerpipe.Remember my manifold wasnt the one with an EWG flange option, this is imo the best i can do with this setup. Space is just very tight |
