SLEEMAN Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 its made by a company long long ago called trust electric, exact port matched to a 1.8 head. so should be good for flow I think lol had it modified as it didn't have a flexi pipe and the flange was bent so needed to get it done plus some other bits of welding to tidy it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLEEMAN Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) hey guys haven't updated this in a while been pretty busy with other things but its only a minor update nothing much as I am researching what I can do about repairing the rust on the car and also finding a company that can replicate the evotech bumper as I have now chosen that for the main bumper for everything rather than just show time. also another purchase too http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i220/sleeman20/My%20Car/6956C2E5-AC4A-49D3-BFD0-5CF33188EFFA_1.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i220/sleeman20/My%20Car/F7B3F1DF-FFFC-4921-B375-A91BE33A6063.jpg see them yet? also purchased two part worn tyres for the front wheels as the old ones were screwed and kept going flat so getting it in and out the garage was hard!! but other main purchase as you can see the on the bonnet which are 300x28mm hi spec brake discs and alloy bells purchased from JOHNDQ. Such a great fella he is and he gave me caliper brackets for the R126 6 pot calipers which is a bonus now just got to find those calipers that aren't going to dent the wallet too much lol  http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i220/sleeman20/My%20Car/5701DE00-452A-40FA-8EFC-9AB2F257F076.jpg heres one fitted under 17 inch wheels  http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i220/sleeman20/My%20Car/3ACC4B92-459F-4828-A2E9-4AF546D7F993.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i220/sleeman20/My%20Car/26BAB536-6B10-47FE-B255-8D4D74D341AF.jpg and see how wider they are in comparison to st170 300mm steel discs plus I think the new discs are ever so slightly lighter just by feel but still the calipers I know will weigh less than the current mondy calipers! anyone wanna buy them??

scottybo Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 theyl look great with some nice juicy calipers on them. will they not fit in the mondeo caliper for the time being though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 nope too wide! because normal discs are 24mm and these ones are 28mm but in theory they can just the brackets will need modifications to widen the gap!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNDQ Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Good to meet you mate glad your happy with them if you get the R126-6 caliper you wont be disappointed thats for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 indeed it was good to meet you too fella! if you wanna sell your calipers I wouldn't mind lol! but yeah i'll be looking for them! already seen prices on the hi spec website and so far its looking good! maybe i'll give them a call and try and bargain a price lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNDQ Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Heres mine fitted had them under 15"s. Keeping calipers mate there going on MG just ordered new discs, bells and brackets from Reyland Motorsport gone for 330x28mm as its has 17"s so good news is if you got those calipers and ever wanted to get bigger disc's you can... not that you will need tohttp://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk4/JohnLucy/hispec003_zps21803f5e.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
