went at the gnand bavaro punta cana first week in august. adults only hotel. just perfect.

with thanks to the mods. have fun guys. i just saw the thread.

+1. if you dont operate it for a long time it will struggle even when fairly warm. and there should be no lower temp to operate the hood! we dont care everybody else thinks....they are just jealous

My rays are not square. rears are wider than the fronts.

man too late to have a look now...tom first thing your rims

well i did my annual CPR training on friday... so successful it works on forum threads too!! in any case it will be good to know what bennet thinks of the BBKs. esp on the balance of the car and disk overheating. temps etc. I ve got the PF at the front with race RF pads and dixcel rear disks with PF standard pads. At my recent outing to donnington park the PF guy was there measuring disc temps. So after 10 very on the limit laps i did a cool down lap and went in the pits. He came round quickly and measured the temps. It was about 300 degrees all over he said which is very good he said. I was on 888s and for ventilation i have opened big holes on the wheel arch inner liner. During the whole day i had no brake fade whatsoever and the only thing that reduced my laps to 10-15 per outing was overheating of tyres mainly and coilovers. in total i did more than 80 laps and i would have done more if it hadnt pi**ed it down the brake bias of the car is very important tho. cant wait to hear comments

you can do that by dropping the front a bit or increase the camber.

they look very nice m8 they do look the part! Alex's point is right. check the vents...although all the bbks i ve seen on evos face the same way like yours...i think...take a wheel off and double check. as for the sizes you may find out that the car behaves a bit differently on the track now. there was a very detailed test somewhere on the net (trying to find it again) and the general conclusion was that you need to keep the manufacturer front/rear braking bias as close to standard as possible. when you are braking the cars inertia needs to follow a specific as per the cars design and suspension. In the Zeds case to the front. That you way you achieve shorter braking distance and better turn in balance. That test was comparing standard brakes, brembo and and bigger set ups with staggered/non staggered combinations. dont think the caliper was as important as the disk diameter. looking forward for your review after a track day. last thing...given that it will be a tight squeeze into the rays now will it not affect the air flow to the disks? thinking about overheating still...and heat transfer to the rim/tyre too

there are some pics somewhere here. have look. the orange/red bracing is tanabe one and goes between the gt-spec middle section and front bar. cant say it did much. viewtopic.php?f=25&t=29153 linky not working its a copy paste job m8.

man i would swear it wasnt that expensive...then again i dont remember where i got it from but it was when the pond was about 2 dollars. go on the gt-spec web site. the middle section and the fender bracings made most of the difference. then the front and rear bracings. but honest they are all a must have for the roadster anyway

I deffo thought it was worth it. Will upload some more pics tomorrow of the place we stayed at. Most relaxing 2 weeks I've had full stop more of the above too i should hope so. cuba and mexico my next 2 destinations anyway... glad you enjoyed it m8.

Man you made me choke on my jd How was mexico dude? worth a visit???

its supposed to aircraft aluminium or smth. for example the big miggle section weights a few hundred grams. they are hollow and almost unbendable.

liked it already haha

+1 on this one!!

m8 i love whiskey...did a test in a pub in edinburgh once...and that was the only pub i remember being in that night but i cant see visiting aberdeen any time soon

i HATE deep dishes... i am debating with the idea...although for the same money i may get a set of brides...and leave the rims as they are...will see after i speak to the manufacturer tom...

how much more can i spend on the zed??? then again it has crossed my mind...more because of the weight of those hanzos as they look really at night... and i mostly drive the car at night plus the brake dust doesnt show much either and i get loads of it!!!

You have no idea how right you are! I'm standing outside looking at the car and the salesman goes "Doesn't she look beautiful? Look how clean she is!" and I'm thinking to myself "Good god, has this car ever seen a clay bar?!" and its defo a HE!!!!

gets worse with the years unless you part ex for a 911

Cheers bennet. will have a word with them

+1 ....... its always worth a go It's up to you to claim the Council were negligent in not repairing the hole. And as the wheel is probably cast alloy, then no, it's not repairable. it wasnt a pothole. although we ve got millions of those in hull. thanks for the last comment...you made my day...

Now then m8. i know we had our disagreements in the past. but we ve agreed at many things since then. I was reading your post and i found out that without knowing each other we have exactly the same things. i could not agree more with everything you have said. from the barakes...to the bracings to the tyre review! excellent ps you missed on the gt-spec fender bracings. you would have loved them!! i know they are a pain to fit as you have to remove the wings but i tried them after fitting the rest of the bracing kit like you. amazing. one of the best mods as the quality is perfect and they eliminate the front subframe's horizontal flex. mind you the front end maybe a bit too pointy for some

may do if it cant get repaired guys... i mean speak to the manufacturer... i cant claim for no reason tho... its against my principals. i clipped it myself. but if it can be repaired... will it be as strong as before??
