awesome thats what i like to hear, ahh sure your is near standard height anyway jks

Finally Good work bud! Now get it on!

painted the splitter at the weekend there but needs a bit longer to harden then it will be sorted. probably won't be going on until February or so as id like to get the wheels sold and have new ones by then and do it all in one go

 

[patton]

so finally got the tmb's sold last week and put some of the money towards something that I've wanted for a long time
bought them off kyle jackson on saturday and went home and made myself up some carriers to get a template for someone to make me a proper set, turned out well and was able to get a good fit on the disk. i will check again once i get pads to make sure they are 100% square.




porsche panamera 6 pots with 390mm audi rs6 wave disks.




really pleased with how i got them to fit up just need to do a bit more work on them

 

[Creaney]

awesome! whats next for wheels?

 

[Ian A]

They're some stoppers Mike! Looking forward to progress.

 

[patton]

I've a question for you... Are these pictures without pads? Or are the pads inside of the calipers, just to gauge if that's the finished article or not? Reason I say this is, if the pads are in place, they would only grip the outer portion of the disc, which. After a few weeks... Is going to leave the disc looking odd. It's almost like the disc is too large a diameter for the caliper. But then I don't know the exact setup..... You could be bang on, but your mock up idea is good, rather than something you've designed on the computer and find it doesn't work in real life!

Edit: I'm an idiot, I've only read you haven't got the pads yet....

Haha yea no pads yet. The pad sits further towards the centre of the disk than the calliper does if that makes sense? So the pad protrudes about 10mm towards the inside of the disk which seems to line up with the heat marks on the disk so all being well it should work.

 

[patton]

I'll re check it all a few times anyway just to make sure

 

[big_pete]

Must get over for a nosey. Havent been over in ages

 

[Ben]

You going for those wheels I was originally tagged in? Gold ones on Facebook? If so will look epic with the brakes etc.

 

[Ben]

Double post

 

[patton]

yea if all goes to plan ben, going to paint them though

 

[Ben]

Yeah that gold they were in was a bit but much!

Lighter gold, or satin silver would be the job.

 

[patton]

Porbally going to go for anthracite or something similar

 

[Ian A]

Don't think anthracite will suit red tbh...

 

[patton]

ill give it a try and see how it turns out. id like the callipers yellow so don't think gold and yellow would look that well together

 

[Ben]

Red Audi, big yellow brakes, anthracite 20s. Hmmmmmm

 

[kyle.j1]

If only they new lol

 

[kyle.j1]

That's the calipers with 390mm non wavy there the same discs we tried the rs6 calipers I have too just to be sure and they sit out like that too, so much wastage on this discs
