To begin with, there is no picture that works anymore due to deletion of the Gallery.
I can imagine that the powersteering is interesting to some so I'll post the pictures I have from that.
It is the OEM rack with a KRC pump and smale derale cooler.
I have tried making a new repackable rear muffler hoping it would be a bit quieter but it isn't. So there's that.
And due to circumstances I am now a year into a custom full brake upgrade.
Maserati front calipers, porsche rear calipers, jaguare parking calipers (all brembo), girodisc rotors and all custom hardware.
Currently awaiting for all the brackets and stuff to be machined. Takes fkn ages...
Hopefully early next month.
I'm considering to offer kits to replicate this full set-up, but i'd like to some street testing first before I go check if there is any interest
Good to know. After a bit of reading I see that it's a compbrake pedal box. I've been eyeing that kit for a while but assumed it was developed specifically for the fd. Only other option I've seen is the chase bays dual master kit but it's backordered and $700 (skeptical of the quality to price point ratio). I like the idea of the compbrake unit having 2 separate cylinders and a balance bar.
Parts picked up from the anodizer about a week ago. They have been anodized black but due to my choice of hard-anodizing the added color doesn't show very well making the parts grey instead of true black.
The rotors have been assembled but I have to find time to put everything on the car and properly document things
took it out for test drive and it wasn't braking.... Turned out, I had the master cylinders swapped.
Swapped them to there intended location and now we're able to stop!
I feel like I still need to press the pedal quiet hard but it also feels like I'm able to lock them up. Have not done proper testing yet to find out how the balance is, but I am considering smaller master cylinders to see how that goes.
I definitely would be interested in the mounts to run the brake set up if you plan on making more of them 😀. Also are you running a remote brake balance controller?
I am considering offering a kit yes, it will then consist of all the aluminium, some hardware, optional rotors as you can get those in the states, pedalbox kit, brake lines, optional cables for parking brake.
Something like that.
The pedalbox converison kit has, like all racing pedalboxes, a balance bar. The kit already has a **** for remote mount.
Right before I swapped master cylinders I had decided to try and wet sand the car. I had painted it my self years ago and for some reason I had matte looking spots in the paint that are bugging me ever since.
But, me being a dummy, I sanded trough at a few edges. Not to big of a deal but I realized that it might be very easy to go trough "my paint" back onto the factory paint. As it being the same color that might be hard to see.
Taking a step back, I also realized that it is actually fairly easy to strip far enough for fresh paint so I am seriously considering that at the moment. This time by a professional with modern paint with clear coat.
Today I had expected a restyler to push out a couple of small dents in preparation, unfortunately he had to reschedule due to a back injury. So with some parts removed, further brake testing has to wait a bit longer.
In the meantime how ever, I've decided to do some more solidwork practice by designing a strutbar. I still don't have one
3D printer is running as we speak, wonder if this will be another success
