Car look the business

I like those front calipers a lot. Paint looks amazing -never a colour I would have chosen but it looks fantastic
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young but I'm just backdated yeah

Hi Keith ,

What brake Disc's to you have...944 turbo front and back? Are they a straight fit, or do they need any machine work?

Calipers look great! From RtoRSR? Also, are these just a straight fitment to a SWB ?


Cheers
Chris

Discs are 911SC/Carrera 3.2 front and 944 non-Turbo rears – the fronts are a straight swap, the rears need one of the locating bolt holes redrilling. The calipers are a straight bolt-on and fit behind 15in wheels (but then you have 16in, I think!). :)

Thanks for the info Keith, much appreciated ! Yes I am running 16'' rims, but good to know that the setup will fit behind 15's....just in case :wink:

Usual crap photos…

Spent two days solid trying to get rear bumper to fit. Lightweight fibreglass panels made for rally cars are 'flexible' in all the wrong places… But, it's getting there. :)
