Cheeky price that init

[Tractor Dave]

Yes, thats the one.
I did see that and it is rather expensive.
The little brembo one i bought seems to be working fine so no worries at the moment.

I used a motorbike one for a while but ended up forking out for the Highland Quattro one, it's 3D printed in something very strong and really looks the part.

Thanks but that appears to be the same size as the one I have. Also, the bracket is different so I would have to make an adapter.

I didn't have such a good day today. Fortunately, my phone was on charge in the morning otherwise it may have recorded the mess I made.
I thought it would be a quick job to bleed the brakes. Doh.
So all went well in the beginning. I connected up the pressure bleeder and only pumped it up to 10psi due to the age of the reservoir.
I had gone around and checked all the bleed nipples first and they were all tight.
Working from the front, I bled the two ports on the master cylinder and brake force regulator no problem. Before I moved onto the front brakes, I noticed the level in the pressure bleeder had dropped significantly. A quick look around the car revealed a very large puddle under the offside rear caliper.
I released the pressure on the bleeder tool and went to see what was leaking. Not initially easy to see but it was the bleed nipple. Despite being fully tight it was pissing out.
So, I made up a little tail to fit on the flexi to shut it off before wiping up the mess.
The aftermath.


Got the caliper off and found the base of the threads corroded.
Got a tap in there to clean it out.
Then gave the base a quick wiz with a drill bit that had the same profile as the bleed screw tip.




Put it back on and we are good. Wasted about half a bottle of new fluid mind.


The radiator top cover got fixed.



And my new boost hoses arrived from Germany. I fitted these on my last Ur project. They are well made and fit perfectly.
The only drawback is I got hit for import duty this time.

No worries bud I guess you'll be selling this little beauty on when finished?

[Nuvo]

Are the hoses from GTM?

I was about to refit the oil cooler but some black treacle Oozed out.
I put some engine flush in it to clean it out.


What came out was rather unpleasant.


Then it got a good blow out with the air gun.
The rubbish that came out was amazing.


Then the intercooler got a scrub.




The top cover has been primed with plastic paint.

Can't believe how tiny the IC looks compared to RS2 type
