We have brakes!!
Hi folks,
quick update for you. We now appear to have better working brakes that was a combination of many things - no doubt rebuilding the master cylinder has had a positive impact on things but also making a stop for the hydraulic handbrake (a lot of braking effort was being wasted pushing the piston of the handbrake master cylinder) and adjustments to the pedal itself, re-bleeding he handbrake MS etc etc. So i have a tax disc and I can use the car on the road now safely One of the next areas I need to address is the heat inside the cockpit and total lack of any air flow. I no longer have a heater matrix/blower and my firewall is completely sealed, car has polycarb windows everywhere too to keep the weight down (well - apart from the heated front screen). My front windows have sliding openings in them but they just don't get the air moving in the car. Because of this I'm looking for some other options (that don't involve an expensive suit and helmet cooling system). I figured if I used a pair of opening Helicopter Vents in the front window like this to complement the sliding windows: Helicopter Vents And then maybe used some sort of NACA duct in the rear quarters or rear window to help get the air to pass through the car NACA Ducts The other option we have us adding a vent into the roof - maybe something like a roof scoop found on the GC8 Impreza RA cars ? Anyone have any experience of stuff like this ? did it make a big enough difference ? also interested in any other ideas you guys may have. I also got a GoPro HERO2 camera last week so when I go for a drive I'll try and put the camera on/inside the car so you can see how she goes now. Regards Ian. |
