Say what ? :headno:

You mean you've never heard of the bhp rating that all brake calipers carry?
They've got to be suitable to hold back those ponies while braking


and to the OP, you've got a long way to go before it starts looking like f0xys old car.

rofl!

good project, tho think its abit unwise to set such a high basis for comparison! f0xys was a veeeeeeeeeery nice clio,

i do like yours, but i think itll always fall short of f0xys for me as i loved the colour of his.

still looks good tho!

Re: The lowwwwwww ph2 remake - Progress Thread

They're rated for up to 150bhp.

That seems pretty acceptable to me.

Re: The lowwwwwww ph2 remake - Progress Thread

Re: The lowwwwwww ph2 remake - Progress Thread

this is the small gap ive got is this normal ?

right side

left side

 

[JCC]

Re: The lowwwwwww ph2 remake - Progress Thread

Feck all wrong with that gap, as long as it's sitting flush everywhere else there's nothing you can do about it anyway.

Good choice using F0xys old car, it was the best 1.2 on this site when it was still about IMO, though I'd use it more for inspiration rather than just copying the whole lot. Keep us updated though.

im just very fussy and if it doesnt look spot on im not happy lol im going to change the plastic bit on the inside of the bumper to my 1.2 one as ive left the sport bit in maybe this will make the bumper fit better at the arches :approve:

:approve:UPDATE:approve:

Off to cardif

I turrned up at pro-speed 1 hour early as you can tell no one was around lol

So i went to sue's cafe which is just down the road really nice people even gave charlie a bell to see when he opened had a nice black coffee and went back and they had opened up. Gave them the keys and went for a full english which was needed. After that i walked back to pro-speed to see what was going on and they had take my old exhaust off and the car look great with no exhaust on lol

I meet charlie had a good chat about the zorst and how i wanted it. He also told me where the city centre was so i took a walk and it was nothing great so i left a huge dump there and went back to pro-speed and saw this

The new zorst was kinda on and look great. As you can see next to my is a really horrible ford fiesta it had a huge wide body kit and it look like a really s**t v6 rep lol the bloke that owned it omg he was huge no need for coilover when your super fat and a chav lol On the other hand i had a really nice vxr next to me that was having a custom induction kit made and below a track car power by a suzuki superbike engine it was worth 30k I will post videos with the cat on tomorrow
