Car has been getting slower and slower since I bought it and tbh and was quite dead and flat at kirki, i thought it was just getting used tonot, then noticed a blow out a week or so back assuming its was the down pipe due the cat bodged in to it
Turns outs blowing from between the turbo and manifold
Quite chuffed tbh hopefully it's back On form after an OE gasket and horsed tight
Rears went from sold to vented and up to the 256mm as mentioned from a r32 golf
Few screenshots from videos I apologise
Rears I decided to try a genertic aff the shelf road disc and pad, as I wana remove the bite as much as possible as I think the rear might be over braked, with only using a 312mm front
and the weight of the car and the little rotating mass i have in each rear wheel i think it might lock too easy and trigger the ABS prematurely
even tho the rear dosent do much breaking anyway infairsss, but the theory makes sense
the carriers/sliders differ from 2wd to awd so a 6mm spacer is needed and a little clearance, nothing too serious
and a set of braided brake lines, assumed they would he clear or black but naaa, red and a tad tacky
They also come with stainless hardware and anyone that knows anything stainless is the worst material ever created, shouldn't ever be used on anything other than the food industry, hopefully the OEM bango bolts will work, instead, if not.. hey well curse it it in the future when it bites me in the ass
Haven't updated this or even put a spanner near it yet, purly been stockpiling parts to make it as great as humanly possible
So we'll carry on from the brakes
To the rear end
The rear camber isn't ideal expecially when we add the front end grip it will become more of an issue, out on track with no front grip etc masked the possible rear issues
I'd guess it's either roll center issue due to it being relatively low that's causing it, maybe the axle has had a tweak in some way in the past, so to rule it out I ordered a reman axle, means we know its not it from now on in, rules out any doubt
Then with everything in the car it's all powerflex black series front to back
"Free sticker and keyring"
Neary ordered a oem 67mm bush checked it bored turns, they were 69mm lucky save
Then to reduce roll center, a set of offset plates were ordered too plus they give 15mm of wheel base aswell as 25mm of roll center correction
Then a full whiteline antiroll bar kit for the rear
That will do for now, I've that many parts/pics to cift though
