DaveR Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 is it ok for normal driving? In a word: no. NOT user-friendly!! But more practice IS a lot of fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I've heard/read the triple plate is alot better mate, but obviously alot more money :/ I've heard that a few times and I wish I'd known at the time I upgraded, to be honest - changing again now is a very expensive prospect.

Luxluc Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I've heard/read the triple plate is alot better mate, but obviously alot more money :/ and DB if when I went out in Dave's car is anything to go buy its like it all the time even general driving, although if I'm wrong I'm sure Dave will quickly correct me That's what I read on SF too. Therefore, I went with the RPS triple carbon, which drives really great. Tbh, the price difference between the twin CC and the triple CC is not that big.

That would be a very bad idea if I was going lol, my car would feel slow after so annoy me and get me to up power earlier than planned haha.

drift_bear Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 On Wednesday we successfully fitted the line lock kit to the car BUT 1 of the bleed nipples snapped off while it was getting re-fitted after bleeding. We managed to drill out the old nipple and re-tapped the caliper with the correct size (M10x1) but its still letting brake fluid leak out once its tightened up and looks like i have damaged the angled cone seat the nipple seats against! I fitted a jspec 2 pot caliper and disk to the front of the car, just so i could get home and start the searches for a solution. After doing alot of searching and phone calls, i have found a specialist down just outside Cardiff that will do it for me. The place is called Godspeed brakes and they have quoted me 2 hours to do the work and £40! Since its the Easter weekend and the majority of places are closed untill Tuesday, I spoke nicely to the guy at godspeed and they will be in the workshop tomorrow for the day working on a rally car (rest of the workshop/business will be closed) and they said they can fit me in if i can get down in time! So i am now away to pack some clothes into a bag and head away for a weekend down south with the motley crew down there while i wait Hopefully get it all goes to plan and i get it all sorted and back fitted by the start of the week, and then FINALLY test the line lock kit and get some videos for you lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
