Red calipers you tart!

 

Should of gone white for the wheels, its not a rallye otherwise!

[rallyeash 155]

na white is a pain in the ass if it isnt powdercoated with brake dust etc.

 

 

new set of Mintex 1155 pads, 205 gti6 braided lines and a new gear rod set ordered from miles just bought some Brembo discs also

could be back on the road by the weekend if i ever get my v5 back from useless dvla after a address change. been around 7 weeks now

 

although think ive just wasted two evenings refurbing 307 hdi calipers!!!!! not very pleased

[welshpug 1,622]

indeed, gti6 only every used one type of caliper, lucas items, so those pads from miles wont fit

[rallyeash 155]

just realised that been onto the seller already. more annoying ive wasted two evenings, stripping, cleaning, painting, rebuilding a set of useless calipers! (for me anyway) ebay job i guess

[kyepan 291]

you can get brembo ds2500 pads for those 307 hdi calipers, they are (in my humble opinion) better than the m1144 material pads.

 

BTW, great car.

[welshpug 1,622]

another thought too, 307's used a 26mm thick disc, they'd weigh a ton! (6.74 Kg, nearly a full kilo more than the gti6 ones per side)

ive ordered 1155 gti6 pads and brembo gti6 discs so need gti6 calipers now.

not a million miles away and a fair price

[S@m 156]

Remember that you can get 'gti6' rear calipers from Saxos, 106's, 90's clios, renault 5's, 205's, 306's, etc etc. All the same. Just look at the massive list of applications on the brake pad box!

one of the best 205s ive seen, nice job!

[rallyeash 155]

got some gti6 calipers coming today from "Rich E" thanks though

[edbar 6]

I take it after reading your latest posts you felt you needed more grip? Felt grippy to me, should be mega with wider tyres!

piston sizes differ on some models... welshpug will know which ones lol

[welshpug 1,622]

I do, but ash is after fronts not rears

[rallyeash 155]

yep front calipers, all sorted now anyway.

 

yeah looking to try and get some more front end grip

[rallyeash 155]

right then, sourced some gti6 calipers rather than the 307 ones i was mis sold. fitted them with a new set of Mintex 1155 pads and 205 gti6 braided lines from Miles

 

also fitted is the C5 alloy steel's which ive done in black and are wrapped in new R888's

 

seeing as it was now back roadworthy, had Mot, Insurance still thought i'd tax it so i could take it for a spin. started straight up, which i was pleased with seeing as it has been sat there since the last trackday in october. took a while to get used to it again, bit of an animal compared to the 306 gti6 which i've been driving around in recently

 

the pair together earlier, (only took on the work phone so not great quality)

 

 

and the gti6 (again not great quality) fitted some crystals on it which can be seen just about in the above picture

 

 

bring on the trackdays

Nice one ash! I love going for a drive in something decent after driving the daily for ages, reminds you what it's all about!!!

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Have you moved your lock up ash?

[rallyeash 155]

ive given the lockup up now as i don't really need it anymore. the smaller stuff i can do in a single garage or at home on the drive. moving to salisbury in January anyhow so might try and find one over there.

[EdCherry 34 1 Cars]

Garage in Salisbury! Goodluck. If you find one slightly too large for just yourself give us a shout

[rallyeash 155]

well going to be living on a village on the outskirts. will be going half's with a mate who wants a place for his 106 rallye track car also.

where on the outskirts are you anyway?

[EdCherry 34 1 Cars]

Winterslow. Near Porton Down? Half way between Salisbury and Andover really.

 

Where you moving too, Amesbury/Durrington or otherside at Alderbury?

[rallyeash 155]

ah ok, yeah alderbury direction mate

[rallyeash 155]

now a proud owner of a Tran X diff and mi16 gearbox. need to take the quiafe out as thats sold. This leaves me with a problem, keep the 1900 box or swap to the mi16 box? ive always felt the 1900 box feels a good match to my engine so thinking of sticking with it. also means i can just change the diff without taking the box out.

 

should be all ready for the combe trackday on 31st March...
