Without good tyres on the rear i just ran to deep on corners and struggles to hit apex's. The second hand 15's did smoke good though

Im not happy with the way the car looks on track...... maybe not low enough ? or a front lip needed......
I need a decent set of spare wheels for the rear the stock ones look like poo

Re: Wazman's NB8a
The hydraulic hand brake turned out to be a nightmare ! well just bleeding the thing
Because i mounted the slave UPSIDE DOWN in the tunnel under the car ! It had an air bubble in it that would not come out no matter how much i bled the system! I ended up unbolting the slave with the lines still attached and twisting it around until it was up the right way and then bleeding it ! That was really annoying because i was a smarty pants and mounted it in such a hard to get to spot
The lines are really easy to bend.....and didn't need to pay someone to pre bend them for me
I actually needed to shorten them so i used a brake line flaring tool to do the job.


Below shows where i intend to "T" into the rear brake line. The slave has a valve in it so it just runs inline....

Below shows the lines going into the slave....more so how tight the space is there.... and close to my exhaust. high temps= brake fade.....installs heat shield !

This is how the leaver ended up looking .....ditched the ugly bolt
The oem cover fits over it so mister po po dosn't bust my chops about it.

I also removed this piece of useless junk! The clutch line that goes over behind the engine and then back again to the clutch slave ! I just re-bent the remaining line to have just a straight metal only line from the top to the slave on the box= better pedal feel and simpler

Sportmax 002's 16x8 +0 after a trial fit it turns out my current wheels are -4 !!! not +4 like everyone seems to think...... the 4 mm extra clearance was obvious when i trial fitted the 002's...... Fitted pic's after "DRIFT ATTACK"
