looks great mate - well done so far, but only one concern - you might wanna consider some new front brake lines before going too fast...?

[ChargeR]

Great build mate! Just curious, what brand wrinkle paint did you use and did you end up with a pervading stench of paint in the oven and/or your house?

Thanks matey.... The Type R breaks are fine buddy... It puts the type S on show in that department pretty good lol.

The conversion is around 30 to 40kg lighter mind you aswell. Car will weigh around 1030-1040 mark when finished.

I will prob change pads and discs though for a better bite

Either way i Have other plans for it and it will definately need bigger breaks when that time comes

Thanks buddy... I used VHT Wrinkle paint red and black cans. They only come in those colours.

I used my mates oven... His one was vented and it smelt for a week or so. Nothing oven clean won't fix though

Thanks matey.... The Type R breaks are fine buddy...

yes, the Type R brakes are fine, but i wasnt talking about the brakes or their capabilities,

i was referring to your brake LINES, which appear to have been stretched and possibly damaged during the conversion?

i would hate for you to go to so much effort and work - only to put the thing through a wall because your brake hose splits...

Gotcha... You make a good point buddy. I literally had it that point only when I was putting in the shafts. They were bolted up and not hanging like that the whole time. When we put it back together I did Check to see if they needed replacing "seemed fine" but in saying that and going off your comments.. It might be a good idea to change them anyway

Much appreciated buddy and thanks for picking that up

Cheers mate

Haha gotta hand it to him. It's a good pick up and worth taking another look. Car goes to the exhaust shop on Monday and my uncles Garage to flush out the new oil I put in with filter change "anal" lol

I also got a new video of the basemap Jdm yard gave me. I tried uploading it to the fb page but nothing

Ffff iphones.

OK, that is probaly a bit better - but by stretching the hose just once it is possible to damage them internally, so should be avoided if possible.

they probably aren't damaged, but brakes are the most important part of a car besides the tyres...

[Jorge]

Agreed Man. I did give them a good look over and me and my mate where putting in shafts together. While he fed them in I was supporting the break structure and making sure nothing stretched.

Either way. You cannot be safe enough. It's on the hoist come Monday so it will get a very thorough check before it goes to Adrian for tuning.
