99hjhm Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 James has just seen the big OEM+ brake kit he wants for sale. Do I? Will they fit under 16" RC's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Thanks, I've been putting it off for a long time now and that's just what I wanted to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatttty Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Alex, where were you??I was in bed... with a bad hangover head :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Whats required for them to fit? Custom adaptors?Just OEM seat Cupra R adaptors, GTi T had issues with the disc touching the bottom ball joint so they might need spacing , and I think the bolts that hold the carriers to the hub may need shortening cause the discs are 28mm thick, probably some custom hoses too. Looks like I missed out on them, they were provisionally sold, guy is getting back to me this weekend(I Hope). Not buying brand new as they are totally overpriced.

99hjhm Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Ah right that's good, I could get hold of a set quite easily off a mate. I might try bribe him to making them fit. There is a set on ebay at moment for £650 but the discs dont look in the best of condition.Link to the ones on eBay?The ones I went after were all new, DS2500 pads, grooved discs, stainless hoses, racing fluid, £625.

99hjhm Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Finally got round to ordering a chrome trimmed light switch....Started test fitting the Mk5 seats, and making the subframes...... Just need a few more wood screws and it will all be finished. (I wish)Taking a fair amount of time, need to start welding the bits togeather now, but cocked up and cut one box section too short so need some more now.

99hjhm Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Made a modified short throw shifter, same idea as the ones avaliable for the 6 speed Golf/TT boxes. Works quite well, but the GTI already has quite a short throw.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99hjhm Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Not done much this week......Just fixed a few things that were bugging me, and cleaned it.(Dropped it one more thread on the front since them, needs a few more still.)Fitted some BBS carbon wheel centers, but don't like them, so will swap them back next week, changed the front brake pads back to std ones and bled the brakes, probably buy some Tarox ones for now, then upgrade to Brembo 4 pots in the future.

Reflection shots is the only thing blacks good for, it's a PITA to keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
