holy sheeet man. How bad was the pulsate in it?

foz- 07-11-2007
It was shaking like hell.If you look at the video in this thread you can see the camera vibrating at the end of the front straight.The last time I hit the pedal nothing happened.Very scary when you are in top gear heading at the fence ohmy.gif
The new brakes should make heaps of difference when I get them set up.Hopefully this weekend wadesta/good.gif

Well the brake drama continues.I got new stub axles as recomended by the Brake seller.Of course the brakes didn't fit so I ended up grinding them. Next I had to replace all the ball joints.Finally I bolted on the brakes and now the gap isn't even between the pad carrier and the disc mad.gif
I am trying to shim the carrier but so far no luck.
Anyway here is a pic of the new brakes.

You would have to know what to look for on the DVD.When the guy is walking between the cars in pit lane my car is on his left and you can see it take off from the incar camera behind me.Look for the blue numberplates and the tyre smoke biggrin.gif

foz- 07-29-2007
Just an update on the braks situation.Yes it is finally done.Yay biggrin.gif
Got the car going yesterday but every time I drove it the wheel bearing came loose.Turns out the bearing shell in the new hub adapters wern't pressed in far enough.
It needs a wheel alignment now but apart from that it's good to go. wadesta/buttrock.gif
