bigdavie Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 good arent they ?? especially with the 5.1 brake fluid !!!!
WRC No 1 Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 when did u get them fitted. its a lot better with 5.1
bigdavie Posted April 20, 2006 Author Posted April 20, 2006 done2 yesterday and the other two the day mate ! would have got it done in a oner had i not fell out wi the mrs and rebuilt the brakes bled them and then buggered off for an hour to sulk !! lmao !! cannae believe the difference these hve made !! best £50 quid ive spent !! so glad i took youir advice on the 5.1 wullie ! cheers for that wee nugget of info !!
Guest Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 davie,where did you buy your brake lines from.i'm looking for a set at the mo. also,did you have any problems bleeding the 5.1 fluid through the new lines after you fitted them,as i was told it can be more difficult than usual dot4 fluid,and how much fluid did you use to bleed and fill the system. thanks for any help graham
road warrior Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Ditto what Graham says, also looking to go the Goodridge line...
bigdavie Posted April 28, 2006 Author Posted April 28, 2006 cant recommend the goodridge pipes enough !!!! theyre great especially with the dot 5.1 absolute doddle to fit !! took longer cleaning everything off before crackin the pipes !! word to the wise if you dont have a brake pipe spanner get a really good set of mole grips !!! no probs bleeding brakes through at all just exact same as normal dot 4 !! i used under half a litre of dot 5.1 but you get a litre for about a tenner so its worth gettin the litre bottle just in case ! just tryin to remember where i got my pipes
bigdavie Posted April 28, 2006 Author Posted April 28, 2006 and gr555 if you need a hand with anything im local so just let me know !
Guest Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 thanks for the offer bigdavie,hope to have the lines and be ready to fit them the week after the RB event. cheers graham
bigdavie Posted April 30, 2006 Author Posted April 30, 2006 just remembered where i got my pipes !! here it is http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/produ...products_id=390
ian_finlayson Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 AWD do 5.1 fluid as part of the service and they did goodrich hoses for just £30 extra. Then again I did spend an extra £1000 on the service! (90,000)
Guest Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Thanks for the link davie.Do you know if your car has ABS fitted as mine doesn't.Just wondering if theres any difference. thats a good price BTW.The sites i was on were a lot dearer than that graham prolly a good idea to phone them anyway
jimmyGforce Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 i fitted the hoses and fluid to my P1 a while ago and i'v never noticed any difference [:^)] Brakes were rubbish and still are []
