cusco scooby wagon

across the town from me, but saying that i can see the roof of Ikea from here. pop round next time i had the cars out yesterday looked like a mini scooby meeting. also there is a local Manchester scooby meeting on Thursday if your interested.

i decided to get the girls out and give them the wash and go treatment. i do miss the turbo so i took it for a blast up the street........ :o

am going ceramic finish on my headers there's a place in macclesfield that am going to take mine to,

sure are i dropped said calipers and 1 pr of blue bells and 4 wheel centers and a new red BLITZ oil cap today, all coming back matching cherry red anodized . i had them in the dish washer last night twice........and a session with greaser and Mr muscle very hard things to get clean with out polishing or other abrasive materials. which i was told not to use so its a overnight soak and polish hopefully you can polish a !Removed!! we shall see.

them calipers look OK on. my powder-coating place has just got mirror finish coatings but only in silver at the moment.

just been looking on eBay at second hand calipers , found these at £199.00 really. THINKING I SHOULD UP MY PRICES NOW....

your only in leeds mate, i could drop them off if need be, turnaround time is 2 weeks depending on my powdercoaters and other issues like different colored calipers needed, usually ive a couple of calipers ready to send in so when i get an order i can build them up prior to your car being off the road usually if its local i can drop them off just as you have removed yours from the car.

its all the crap that builds up round the piston seal its like plac and causes it to ware the chrome away and drags slightly to one side, usually its the bottom outside piston that starts sticking.

am also trying to price up seal kits but not havin much luck, seems to be a dry patch at the moment.

and yes am still alive just been playing with calipers and hunting pistons and thread-taps etc.

usually the further the piston goes out the more off set they can become, it wont be noticeable really to the eye but when you are putting the pistons in after a re-paint they can get stuck.

i was thinking that too, ive a zinc plate guy i use that i might ask next time

there shouldn't be any difference in stopping power unless the original one is not working 100% which wouldn't have been noticeable at the time prior to getting the newer one on.

just found a company that's agreed to reconditioned (anodize ) my calipers to a few choice colours, the main colours are the Brembo Gold and Aeroquip Red's and Blue's for now . so if your looking to splash out on detailing the engine bay with alloy BLITZ style oil caps /catch tanks / aeroquip fittings / tire valves /and and fancy colour coding the calipers too watch this space. am going to be taking them in next week and see what he can do apparently the shine is all dependent on how good the surface is to start with so a bit of polishing and buffing will be getting done at some stage. only BILLET /CNC items can be anodized because cast comes out like 'brown' all depending on the makeup of the cast ingredients etc. SO keep an eye out for up dates

the wrx/pro are copy's by budweg i think and are sold by Brakes International too, there ok. but feel a little cheap nothing replaces an original item, and the photos of the old 4 pots is to be expected ive had some worse than them but after a session in my blaster and powder-coated and lacquered they look a million times better it just takes a little time and effort on my part to get them looking like this ( )

have you sent the kit and piston back yet?

have just blasted all my wheel nuts with the intention of powder coating next time i go,

one of the last pairs of calipers i had reconditioned had that problem but they were the 4 pot Subaru type, the bolt came out and so did the threads, not ideal. the thread was in the caliper with luck so managed to re-tap it but a lot of messing about and not wanting to scratch the caliper too...

welcome to the club mate

i got a pr of top mounts and subaru tee shirt :D happydaze

simon will be comming to re-map my other scoob next year so i'll quiz him on this possible project

anybody know the size of the shaft that the bearing sits, photo 1 the size of this part? please. photo 2 my ohlin strut is 14 .mm photo 3 my spacer is too small and its supposed to be the right one photo 5 spacer fitted as you can see its a tad short
