Rob 5000 Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Ran out of front brakes again, back to the metal. Am thinking now the rears are not pulling their weight so will look at some higher friction rears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 5000 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) Pulled the gear box out yesterday to get the syncro's replaced. Should be even quicker now we don't have to just leave it in 3rd gear :) Edited June 26, 2011 by Rob 5000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch-12 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 hey rob how much hp or kw is this rated at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 5000 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 its rated at 150hp on the japanese scale which is a bit overated compared to the australian standards. To drive feels like its got about 120-30hp but its got bulk torque and pulls hard from any speed. Why do you ask grasshopper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob 5000 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 We'll find out shortly, will probably get to run it again before the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 How long were you getting out of pads before? Bad radial taper wear or just wearing down very quickly? Whats the size difference between stock and the wilwood rotors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 5000 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 the car would do about 45 laps of winton and then the pads were down to the metal backing plate, so all the pad material was totally worn away. The rotors were fine. I don't have specs on size difference but its big diff from stock and a bigger again than the RDA rotors we had put on it too. They are actually brembo rotors that come with the wilwood kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
