307 discs weigh a ton!

[Spiky 37]

He will have cds in stock so can supply the tube if you wanted. Ill get over and see him fri or sat then let you know if / when he can do it

 

 

ok cheers, thanks for that

 

how do the 307 discs compare?

 

will deffo have the cage if you decide to sell dude- cheers

 

 

283x26 but offset inwards a little compared to gti6 i think

 

307 discs weigh a ton!

 

 

it's ok i'll use my swagger on them...lol

it's ok i'll use my swagger on them...lol

 

pmsl - you could always get some disks and ally bells made up to the same dimentions later

[Spiky 37]

yeah already priced them up

 

but will stick to 307 for now as they only 20quid each..lol where as alloy bells and disc's are around 300 ish

[VisaGTi16v 1]

247mm will save you weight and are more than enough with decent pads! also what about drums on the back, are they lighter? as again, you dont need any braking at the back especially with your cheese grated thing heh

[Spiky 37]

drums, to me seems like a very backwards step

 

i dont want to go down to a 247 disc either, i'll stick with the plan of a 283 disc and as paul says later i will get bells and discs made up for it

[projectpug 0]

The elise is designed for a 283 disc so be better to stick with this. As mentioned the discs could be made lighter with alloy bells but at a big cost.

Spiky any idea how much the bracket will cost ?

[Spiky 37]

no idea mate, in the hands of alex now

Thats cool do you know if my 205 hoses can be adapted to fit the elise or do i need custom brake lines?

[Spiky 37]

have you got custom ones like me?

 

i dont know the fitting on the else caliper (power can check ) if it's not m10, i can jut change it to what it is, i expect it's either m10 or 3/8

[projectpug 0]

I have goodridge hoses specific fitment to the 1.9 gti and standard brake lines after that.

I take it the 205 is m10 fitment? I will try find out now what the elise AP's take.

[oli-pug 6 2 Cars]

I can find out the fittings needed for the ap caliper tomorrow at work if you like, the place is full of elises atm.

[projectpug 0]

Cheers oil-pug that would be good:). Will know if i need new lines then.

[Spiky 37]

yeah thanks, much appreciated

[Spiky 37]

done a little more tonight, not much but cant spend all my life out there...lol

 

 

[oli-pug 6 2 Cars]

Dug out a spare lotus caliper today, the fittings need to be male convex with 10x1mm thread

 

Don't know if it bothers you but the vx220 uses the same caliper, sporting the ap racing decals on both sides.

[Spiky 37]

thanks great, cheers for that matey

 

we are working with the vx caliper

 

 

how spare are your lotus calipers ....

[projectpug 0]

Spiky is that the standard peugeot fit then so i can keep my lines? Or will i need to mod them?

[Spiky 37]

my gti6 calipers are m10

 

i will assume 1.9 will be the same too

 

my 1.9 rears are m10 too

[oli-pug 6 2 Cars]

No problemo Spiky.

 

Don't have many spares tbh, any we do have are emergency back-up for the the lotus-on-track cars or they'll be old and knackered with sheared bleed nipples.

Sweet , Just looked and the vx uses 288 mm discs what difference will this make and are the vx elise calipers definately the same?

 

Disc spec here

[Spiky 37]

yeah, just the branding on the side

[oli-pug 6 2 Cars]

yes, same fitment as the pug calipers

 

A colleague is trying the ebc yellowstuff on his trackday elise at the moment, they seem like a good cheap alternative to the usual pagids and sbs that the track boys usually use. Could possibly fondle a discount with EBC as they're only a few miles from us.

[projectpug 0]

I would be up for trying a set of ebc yellows at the right price.
