Time for a slight update.
After Combe i decided i needed more power, so planned a xe conversion. But thats off the cards ATM, due to money needing spending on other things than cars, and having no time to do a conversion(car is used daily for work etc)
SO baby xe is staying for now :cool:
Discs and pads on my 16v brakes were getting on a bit, so i decided fit some 284s :D
Using Cally Turbo calipers(cheers John), genuine GM pads, and Fiat Coupe discs.
Got them fitted yesterday, will do a how to when i have time :)
Old 256

Here you can see an "imprint" of the brake pad left on the disc, which is NOT good, and is probably the reason i was getting slight vibration when braking hard.

New 284 vs 256

Now, you can see the reason the Coupe dics dont go straight on, one hole is slightly out

So, sorted that with a drill/carbide bit, and they fly straight on.

New caliper(the 54 being the piston size, whereas v6 are 57 giving a "longer" pedal, hence i went for these)

Fitted

Had to move one of the wheel weights as it was hitting the caliper lol
Woo, check out that clearance :D

Did a few miles with them on today, did some 70-5 "braking runs" to bed them on. And Foooook me they work lol
You can feel the rear end go properly light under hard braking, and speedo needle bounces off the zero stop lol
Thank god i have harnesses fitted, lol
Overall, a very good result, id recommend them.
BTW, the pedal is no different to a 256 setup, which i was also pleased about :)
Thats all for now :thumb:
cripes.. gnats cock eh..
look ace tho, get those lap times down..
There not going to help with 1/4 times as there hefty buggers. lol
But im hoping they work well around Donny in July :)
Good work Ad. Interesting that you find the pedal no different. May consider these as an upgrade although i should really fit some billets lol
