i do quiet fancy a roller bearing turbo but its to much money for me at this moment & there is nothing wrong with the inlet plenum that i made & it looks 10x better but i might get a gt35 front housing fitted as thats quiet cheap to do

right then i been down the garage again & i cut up my 3" down pipe so i can get a silencer down the n/s of my gear box so i had to change the angle as it was pointing down going across the car which made it to low & i also had to cut 38mm out of the cross piece to bring it in line with the trans tunnel so i can keep it nice & high
i am also making a new gearbox x member to make more room for the silencer

the problem with the wilwood superlite calipers is that they do not have a dust seal they only have o rings so the piston goes back into the caliper to far causing the pad to leave the disc so the pad can rattle around slightly .on more modern calipers like A P they have a dust seal which also keeps the pads in contact with the disc all the time .

Thankx Andy i guessed that retraction ment they worked there way back in but wanted to know why can you moddify the caliper to accept a dust seal? or is it too much trouble for little gain?

not worth the hastle dave but i have got some residual pressure valves to go in to the brake line which will keep 2psi in the brake lines so it should stop the pads retracting & give me a slightly harder brake pedal have you got your rear floor welded in yet mate
