Vwr bbk

[Timlin]

Hi all

I had my front BBK fitted today. Pretty happy after the first couple of km's. It pulls up really, really well. Much, much faster than it can accelerate. The pedal is well firm and it just feels kind of how you might imagine very goods brakes to be, but x 2!

I reckon it'll probably get even better once the new front pads bed in too.

So when the new VWR 2 x piece rear rotors arrive in a few weeks I'll get that done and thats the brake department done.

I also had the new AW7 BT module fitted over the weekend. Chalk and cheese compared to the OEM version. I now get all BT music info, all phone and directory details etc, plus a keypad appears on the RNS510 screen as well as all the other options/details etc... Its a new world for me!

what the cost and where to get? are you running on standard wheels?

Looking good Andrew!

looks so hot, makes my DBA T3 slotted I just installed look cheap. Are those KWS coilovers? How are those vs the stock R36 suspension?

Hi all

The wheels are OZRacing "Vittoria" 18 x 8". Same size as stock. I had the suspension done last year - KW V3's, K&R sway bars and WhiteLine bushes replacing every single bush. I had to roll the guards as I was getting some tyre rub, its mainly fixed it up.

The VWR BBK (with 2 x piece VWR rear slotted discs and labour costs) came it at about $5k - which is about $3k less than the same things from Brembo, except these ones have the VWR logo which I kinda prefer anyway - that and it was a plug 'n play fit too - zero issues with clearances, mounting points misaligning etc... OEM parts fit best!

I recently bought a damaged R36 front grill in carbon fibre. I had that fixed up and fitted now... I think its come up OK. I'm removing the bonnet wrap soon - it was cheaper than a resprayed bonnet at the time (stone chips).

And I've changed every exterior globe to LED apart from the steer-assist one, for some reason that socket hates LED's CANBUS or not, makes no difference!

Anyway, pix tell a part of the story! So, heres a couple...

All you're missing now are DRL's

Wow, not a lot of clearance on the fronts!
Nice bit of kit but way out of my cost/benefit range

like the BBK but stuff in Australia is way overpriced...
