Nothing much to report here, except that I got the AC gassed up today and now have fully functional climate control. Brrrrr it's cold in there
Will wait and see how long it lasts

Brake upgrade in the pipeline.....

Money shot. Literally

Aren't they all

Are you going more power, or is this because you noticed flex in the existing calipers?

[Error404]

yup

A lot more power is on the cards, and I plan to track the car a lot more next year

[irishs2]

I also noticed the rs2 brake air ducts are available on audi tradition as new items. I noticed it after I made a mold of my pair lol http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/t...psdukb8y1s.jpg

Nice! I was considering something similar. I already have one of them.
I'll get the other. Cheers for the heads up mate

Where did you get the rebuild parts for the handbrake calipers? Looking good!

[Error404]

The calipers were new Des, I just stripped them down for powder coating
You can get the kits from www.brakeparts.co.uk, I don't think they keep them on stock nut you can order them.

Thanks for the link!

Have you put the rears back together yet?

If not, I've drilled mine down the centre of the handbrake pivot pin and put a grease nipple on it

That's a great idea, good thinking!

Congratulations on getting the climate control working Alex .

[AndyP]

Thanks!

Good idea Andy
I did consider drilling into the caliper body to add one, but bottled it a bit to be honest, if i had a decent pillar drill...
Did you drill all the way through to the other end?
