doh....

new brakes arrived! 
 
Doesn't look like braided lines, but that's ok hatted rotors are sexy! Can't wait to put these on the car. I'm strongly thinking about painting the callipers red though (masking the wilwood logo of course!) similar to this: 
 
would probably look a bit better than my current setup:

 
now I just have to decide which paint I'm going to use.will probably go High temp 2pac red like my old brakes on the supra.
 
 

Good news bad news.
 
Good news is the wilwoods look sex on the car... bad news is i stuffed two of the bleed nipples when trying to bleed them....

now they won't shut off... :(
 
back to stock i go while i get new nips.  
 
if only there was a forum sponsor who recently became a distributor for wilwood ;)  I may try and get some speed bleeders though...
Unfortunately for me- the wilwoods have an uncommon bleed nipple spec:

see you there
 
cheers

sunday is going to be good from the weather report, but weve been there with very very poor visibility and still had fun, weather turned for the better later on though.
cheers

ok so had a lookies under the car today, trying to suss out this shifter issue.  The linkages at the gearbox end seem to be ok, a rubber hose was a little loose and in the shift forks, so i moved it. I doubt that that was what was causing the issue, (i made a thread - it won't shift over the 1st or 2nd properly.)  I'm beginning to think that it may be internal to the gearbox.  :(
 
I'm going to have to wait for it to happen again, then see if i can see the external reason that this is happening... otherwise it'll be a box out and rebuild repair :(  - if that happens i may do an LSD upgrade at the same time, as i'm assuming that fixing the box would be around $1k anyways, and suck a lot of time :(
 
i need to check the seals on the brakes too.   
 
 

Hey Chiksluvit. just saw your post. Um it plugged straight in.  sounds like something might be broken on your wheel or something.
 
ok general update.  
 
Looks like I've got two pressing issues.  Gear selection is rapidly getting more and more ****ty.  I couldn't engage first OR second this morning driving to the station. Time to upgrade the linkages and see if this fixes the problem. 
 
Second issue is my rocker cover is leaking on the alternator (rear side) (common fault).  To get access to it, I'll have to remove the intake manifold (something I haven't done before on any car!)  but doesn't seem too scary.  I'm not sure how many gaskets I'll need to replace on the car though... 
 
And also one of my plastic undertrays is loose as was discovered at the HH track day. I should probably get around to fixing that, as there are some trips to the snow in the car's future! :)

cool :) yeah that's on the cards too for replacement. Twos r us order will follow soonish :) need to get on with crap and get it all fixed.
