SRK,

Thanks for the compliments. Not intending to keep any kind of guages either on dash or the pillars. Maybe a electronic unit similar to a Apexi SAFC Neo.

I like and keep my cars very clean and will leave it at that. As far as the speedometer goes that will be changed entirely most probably. Interiors will be in black & tan combo.

Default Update

Hi Guys,

Reinstalled the rear disc brake conversion kit today with a new kit sourced by myself from abroad.

The brakes simply rock now as have Wilwoods in the front so no major issues of having extra powerful brakes at the rear. I feel the braking is now more or less equally distributed.

Will put up the pics in a day or 2.

Great! Are the rear brakes branded? And how difficult was it to fit them? Bolt on, or were there complications like last time?

Hi Razor,

They are branded and bolt on. The last time I had other problems not related to the swap. The brake Master Cylinder decided to fail at the same time and I thought it had something to do with the swap.

Hey,

Thanks Vivek anyways it will no longer be a sleeper, maybe a junior Frankenstein once I am thru. Exterior will be just like a well kept car save the Alloys and badging.

Time to think of a name for the car any suggestions guys.

Neat Car Viper !
I have seen the car in person, looks sweet, sounds even sweeter

I especially like the simplicity which you have maintained when you redid the Paint and other stuff. Looks classy !

How much did the brake kit cost you ?

Default Update - Hot Bots Coilovers Installed

Hi Guys,

Finally installed my new Coilover suspension kit from Hot Bits after a while. First impressions were wow. The car is lowered a bit and corners beautifully. Its like super glued to the road. Have to yet play with e settings to see what suits it the most.

Currently installed with preset damping.

Hahaha,

Magnifying glass kharida hai kya. The steel braided lines of the Wilwoods were not getting locked on the place provided for by the shocks hence the make do solution.
