Have words with Cusco about some reconditioned ones mate.

 

Yeah I've sent him a PM but not had a reply yet, I'm sure he will get back to me when he has chance :). It's either I go for new calipers or just swap the seals myself.

 

All that power ready to be unleashed and you can't, must be frustrating Nevell ;). I'm a little bit the same, I can't put my foot down properly otherwise I start losing coolant... I also can't brake hard haha. Excuse to go round corners fast though ;).

 

He's not short for cash then Savage? lol. Unfortunate that happened though. They sound lovely, couple of MK1 and 2 escorts in the rally this weekend with throttle bodies. Hell of a sound!

Set off down the motorway within a mile I get a really jerky ride and gradual loss of power. Thought I had a caliper stuck. No smoke or smell, starting to worry as I have my daughter in the car.

Look underneath the bonnet to see the ic top hose off

I'd forgotten to tighten it up when I swapped the coolers over [emoji15]

I used to work there! Lost two works cars on the hard shoulder with flashing lights and chevrons, both taken out by errant lorries, I was shutting the door on one when a foreign lorry literally took it out of my hand and turned it into a debris field, car was about 6ft long afterwards, started as an Astra estate!

So I fully understand where you're coming from.

I'm enjoying driving round in my lovely clean car :). Pulled my mudflap off on a curb, oops! Will pop it back on in a bit, nothing was damaged :). Hate parking round my work.

 

Dog, did it look like the newer astra hatch then?

No it looked like a crushed car in a scrap yard so it was much better looking than the new Astra

Well it was no where near the claimed output but then again it's a twenty year old motor, so ended up with good hp gain and 50ft lbs of extra torque, [emoji16] and it makes peak output at just shy of 3.5k

Oh and it was running very rich Afr of around 15.3 so now all in trim and the boost has been increased to 1.1 bar whoop !

Washed and waxed mine on Saturday :)

 

What looks like !Removed! pterodactyl shat on it today!

 

Good job I keep a bottle of pterodactyl **** remover in the car! ie this.

 

On a different note, I'm planning to paint my calipers. Was thinking of going for black, nothing too in your face then. Was wondering what you guys think of these?

We had a lad at school back in the 60s......we painted his calipers one day for a laugh.  :P

That is a pretty harsh but brillant prank! What colour did you go for? lol.

 

Still can't believe my car misbehaved this morning, what actually happened is I was reversing up a slight curb, I'm talking half an inch! The mud flap touched the wheel which in turn grabbed it and pulled it off it's mounting. Car basically chewed it's own flap! :D

Nice one!

Can you feel the difference? Got any graphs/photos? Did you end up going MAFless?
