caliper

As title says now and then there seems to be no go from the engine as if its sticking (if that makes sense) only seemed to occour in 4th at around 3k revs, you could feel the vibration through the throttle pedal too. Any ideas?. (i have been having some probs with my new pads and discs and also...

Hope you guys can help me :D Question 1 I'm thinking about replacing the exhaust on T450, would you recommend replacing the rear and centre exhaust mounts as well, (i've/shes done 22k).? also whats this exhaust mod i've heard about concerning hosepipe/sockets/copper pipe etc? Question 2 i'm...

I will be fitting the above pads in a couple of days, and I've heard you can lessen the chances of them squeeking by filing down the edges of the backing plate. Has anyone on here done this and can you tell me exacly where on the pad I should file and how much? Thanks Graham

What are yours views on doin this?

Time has come to insure, tax and test my trophy. The car has passed its MOT but I've been advised that the front disks and pads could do with replacing. The car has only done 10k miles but the disks have corroded, due possibly to sticking pads. Naturally, the dealers said the warranty would...

what size are the two bolts at the back of the front caliper to remove it???

Guys Been looking into upgrading my brakes, (even more so now because both front and rears are really worn), still mulling over whether i want a semi track set up and go down the Pagid blue/brembo HC set up, however I may want to just plump for a fast road use set up instead. I stumbled upon...

Guys.... I recently had the discs and pads changed on No 142. Have replaced front and back discs with genuine Renault discs (got these at a good price!) and decided on some 'uprated' pads. Went for some from K Tec - Ultimax brake pads. The brakes now work so much better (as you'd...

Think i've dropped a bollock I've bought a spare wheel for the car and just relized that the off set is wrong should be ET 45 wheres mine ET 35!! I know its only 10mm but will it make a difference if i'm only gunna use it as a spare if i get a flat at the track or on my way to the ring? Plus...

Havn't posted for a while but after searching the many posts on here and cs about brake upgrades, I plumped for the pagid blue rs 4.2 pads and new brembo high carbon disks. I had them fitted at GDI last saturday (Thanks Andy & Mark) Their service and attention to detail was excellent. I...

How?! :? Took the old pads out, gave everything a good clean, wound the caliper piston back in, the inboard pad fits fine. But there is no way the outside pad will fit, the gap between the outer edge of the disc and the caliper / pad retaining bracket is about 2mm too small. In writing...

Cleaned the car last weekend and thought I would post up a few intresting pics. Prize will be given for spotting the Twist's :lol:

My trophy repeatedly flashed up warning lights on the track, through a long left-hand hairpin. I can't say exactly which lights because I couldn't look at the dash for long enough, all I know is that it only happened in the one corner and one of the lights was a stop light. Come out of the...

anyone tried painting their calipers red?? how do u think it would look?? good or tacky...best get on photoshop lol. Fitting my new brakes in a week or so, debating whether to paint the calipers. Not necessarily red, but anyone done any other coulours?? Black/Silver?

Alfa 147 GTA in Nipari Grey. This car is as new at under 18k miles. Full Alfa service history she is still bedding in! The car has the factory ferrari caliper upgrade with huge 4 pot calipers and 330mm discs. (brembo) Full leather and electrics with BOSE stereo pack and sub woofer neatly...

Has anyone done theirs? Not sure why but i've got a bit of an urge to paint mine yellow :? i need convincing it's either a good idea or shoot me down in flames and told not to do it!

Over the w/e i bought a green open cone induction kit. I removed the air box and all air feeds leaving a decent gap in the engine bay. Fitted the open cone induction kit (v. easy), and put the car back together again. No air feed tubing used at all. Differences?.....Lots Loss in...

At the moment I'm running standard discs and pads with up-rated fluid and hoses. I'm looking to upgrade the front pads for my trip to Abbeville in France with easytrack next month and have pretty much decided on the Ferodo DS2500. Is it also worth changing the discs at the same time for...

i'm finding quite often when i set off that the handbrake has seized over the last few days. it's not a huge problem, theres just a crack as it unsticks then it seems to be fine. although i think sometimes there is a bit of a grinding through the brakes - perhaps there have been small deposits...

Yeah, i`ve never felt so stupid in my life, basically picked up the GF from stanstead and showing off i put my footdown.... 70-80.......100....130... mph.. what do i see behind me? Volvo estate unmarked police car ... heart dropped.. eventually pulled me... average speed over 1/2 mile 126.6mph...

First time i have ever owned a car since new so not overly familiar with the whole 'Run In' process. I have managed to clock up about 360 miles in 6 days so far. Still trying my hardest to keep it below 3500rpm till i get to 600 then will up it slowly till 1000miles. . . But what i have...
