boab type ra Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 the project has hit a snag been changed shifts at work so my funds have took a big hit so some of the tuning won`t be getting done till later in the summer so as it stands not sure what my funds will allow but it will b attending the next show at knockhill in may i am in the progress of removing the inlet manifold but weather and work is holding me back plus the high temp paint i orderd came but was clear coat so am waiting on white paint coming

boab type ra Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 old brakes new brakes the new brakes don`t fit so its been a waste of time the caliper is about 5mm too far away from hub sopart of the pads don`t have contact with disc plus the wheels that i got off a sti ra won`t fit the calipers av scrapped the paint off the caliper so its going to b months bfore the ra is on the road am absolutly gutted will need to get a new caliper because i gave my ex mine because hers was siezed. the pads and discs r shagged on mine so buy the time i save the money to do this its going to b a couple of months everything that could go wrong has gone wrong am completely gutted getting close to a match and a gallon of petrol and start again
boab type ra Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 got the timing cover refitted just waiting for som gaskets to come to finish engine bay.
johnnyr6 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I take it the wheels are off an early ra? What car did the calipers come off? I've got 4pots on mine (from sti5) and they went straight on. Your welcome to come round and have a quick look to see what the problem is but you'll need to be quick as they are coming off asap. you could buy em if your interested.. cheap. Johnny
