just looking into rotors to get for my new XR6T calipers... what im looking at may be vastly out of my price range but aye... a man can dream right lol
DBA Street series T2 - Front $360 (2107S) / Rear $200 505S / Total $560 Gold X - Front $300 (2107X) / Rear $300 (505X) / Total $600 4000 series T3 - Front $460 (42107S) / Rear $300 (4505S) / Total $760 XS - Front $730 (42107XS) / Rear $420 (4505XS) / Total $1140 (** prices are from very quick ebay searches, so im not overly confident that they are the best pice... or even correct lol **) im pretty confused, cause as far as i was aware the rear brake assembly is different on the XT's compared to the Turbo's. though according to the DBA part numbers, all FG's (that arent FPV models) have the same rear rotor part number. hmm weird... have to look into that one...

Yeah, rear rotors on the T and V8's are bigger than the NA and that's for BA/BF/FG...

apparently not...
the DBA part number for na fg and turbo fg rear rotors are the same, part # 505. its only the FPV models that have different rear rotors according to DBA rotor catalogue.

yeah i need to look into it, i cant see how that could be right unless they use unique pads or something weird... then again its most likely that i've just got the wrong idea about rear rotor sizes... i hope they are the same, cause then i dont need to change the calipers at all... ill just keep the ones i have and swap the rotors...
yeah me too, have been thinking about a custom low mount lol cause im a tight a** haha

haha i havent done anything to my car lol
its all on my old XR6 ute, my dad bought it off me and im doing it to help him out while im on holidays up here... but yeah its good fun. Its been good fun, got all the brakes done except the front pads (ordered/received the wrong ones). this weeks challenge is front shocks and springs. but yeah will definately be keeping an eye out for that one... cheers mate. hows your car going?

Ahhhh okay, I was just scrolling through quick trying to take all the extra stuff that had been posted
Can you give a little run down on the shocks and springs? I wanna make sure I understand that one before the day I have to take mine off comes! Been moving so I only got a few things done to mine recently. Gonna put a few more pics up today when I actually get out to the garage

will throw up a bit more detail later when im not sweating my balls off and not hot and cranky... but getting front shock/spring out with no coil compressors is a completely pain in the a**... its sorta free now, though i need 3 hands to just get the shock out from the tangled mess now... so gotta wait for the old man to come home in about 45min... so thats enough for now... time for a cold drink i say...

I come bearing gifts!
Here's the pics I promised so very long ago of where I put all my wires for the sound. Plus I'm working on writing up that quick guide on how to remove and dismantle the ICC I apologise for the low quality pics, I've only got my crappy iphone to take them with. The damn camera wasn't working half the day :S I moved all the wires so it'd be easier to see which panels they are under, where they go etc So I have the power wire running up under the pedals, there is a nice big rubber piece halfway up behind them that is easy to find and drill through access through the fire wall no problemsAttachment: Wiring 1.jpg Then they go under the side panels here, only take a flat head screw driver to lift the covers up and a phillips head to get them off Attachment: Wiring 2.jpg Then down under the panel below the seat belt. I just lifted it up with a flat head and slid the cords under Attachment: Wiring 3.jpg Then under the seat up beside it then back under where it folds down Attachment: Wiring 4.jpg And finally they come up behind the seat where it folds down and into the boot! Attachment: Wiring 5.jpg So you can get them all the way through the car without anybody seeing them, without ripping up carpets and most importantly, without the risk and messiness of running any wires outside the car Hope this helps you mate You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. |

Thought I'd move back to your thread lol
