started painting and refurbing my new calipers last night. exciting stuff or what!!!!! lol
will whack some pictures on here when i have put on the final coat.
gonna run green stuff pads, they have been sat in my tool box for a while. to be honest i wont really see a huge amount of constant breaking in this car untill i get some decent wheels and it doesnt veibrate and shake like a tw8t. bloody bandded wheels!!!
as for disks, i think i may go for the set you can get of ebay that are about £100 for front and backs, will work out my rear options when i get round to it.
would like to run a hydraulic handbrake inside the car so wont do any brake work till i get all the kit sorted i think because i will just run all new lines through the car i think.

a few updates to keep everyone happy
shiny calipers, just awaiting the brake fittting kit
mmmmmm brembo
and finally my lovely lovey new wing mirrors no crappy fake carbon look now, but a nice matt black racey look instead
as i cant do anything about engines till the end of the month im going to take the brakingin system off an e30 and have a look at fitting it i thinks. gonna try and reseal the air leak on my webbers aswell, make them actually run right for once. would be nice to have it idleing properly

had a little look at the under side of the e21 dash and comparing it to the e30 im not sure that the e30 brake linkag will fit with the heater box still in place. the e30 heater box seems to be a lot further towards the driver so therefor leaving room behind the back for the linkage. i dont really wanna ditch my heater box quite yet but will if i have too.
gonna have to look at this remote servo idea
