Project 504

Haha I'm sure having them slotted complements the brakes' performance. You're saying you getting new brake lines maded up - how much is that costing you? Braided brake lines?

If you are going from a 280mm to a 288 mm disk you will need to change the calipers and lines anyway

[Tim]

yeah i thought the 288s needed a caliper that would support the 25mm width of the discs. And the 312mm discs are 25mm as well. So with a spacer they fit the same caliper as the 288s. Having said that. the 288s are a reasonable setup as stock. ive only managed to cook my brakes once. and that was when i was doing mt hotham.

Very interesting Tim, I will read further into that for sure

I was considering it at one time Raymond way before the buildup actually but wasn't sure at the time. Do they have a better performance over stock, it would obviously something but how much?

[rayray086]

I'm guessing it's to do with the circulation and temperature of the fluid. I'm not really sure to be honest but they look good too

Decided to go for bigger front disks and brakes...

What, no 13" AP Racing kit?

^^^hehe, now we're talking! braided lines are: stronger, so that when you stomp your brakes the line doesnt expand and flex giving it quicker reaction to your input and a more solid pedal feel (I know this for a fact cuz after completing my conversion it was likw night and day! id recomend the upgrade to anyone whether tracking or not ). Other benifits i guess would be heat resistentance and i imagine would flow better being made of higher quality rubbers

[DubSteve]

Thanks for that Alex, I think it will be worth looking at

New update got the car back this morning WOO HOO YEAH WOOT WOOT **** YEAH

I am over the moon it looking absolutely amazing!

Pics to come tonight OMG it looks SUPER DOOPER

[KI11Z]

have you had it dyno'd yet?

[DubSteve]

have you had it dyno'd yet?

No not yet, I am still contemplating it getting dyno'd on Friday in Canberra which is where I did my original dyno when I went down for the Canberra Dyno day in June of this year, or just waiting for the dyno day in Sydney

Not sure what to do
