She's back...., Yay! Options

[Mr_E]

Finally done, after putting another mechanic in hospital in the process. That's her second victim.

4 DBA slotted brakediscs.
TRD pads on the front
Black diamond on the back
Fensport braided brakelines
New fluid (obviously)

HKS lightweight flywheel
Stage 1 organic clutch
Brass gearshift bushes.
Replaced crankcase seal

The good stuff:
Wow are those brakes ever good. Seriously eye popping amounts of retardation available, and pedal feel is excellent.
Clutch grips like hell, and I've not bedded it in yet.

Bad stuff:

ABS still not functioning. I'm throwing in the towel. She has a date with Toyota and my credit card.

Looks like the new clutch is a bit too strong for my master/slave cylinders. We (ie 'they') think it needs to displace more fluid as you currently have to push the clutch all the way to the floor, and it will engage
hard within the first 2" of travel. Driveable, but obviously not right. It's adjusted as best they can, and if you sit with your foot on the clutch and in 1st gear, apparently she'll start to creep after a minute or so.....
- Anyone any thoughts on this?
Apparently there's a kit available, and it's about an hour to fit, that increases the size of the piston or bore or something on the cylinders to sort this out. I'll speak to fennies tomorrow.

Oh and, after a month of US spec slush-o-matic hire cars, god that Four is a properly fast car. Properly, properly fast.

Awesome. Good to hear you got your car back.

[FallenHero]
