Cool. I only really need the calipers/carriers for my brake conversion but don't mind throwing a little extra if you wanted to sell the discs & calipers as a set. I've gotta try and find that cheap shipping company again now. Do you reckon the calipers together weigh less than or more than 10kg? as the weight affects the shipping cost

Hi, good to see you've got it sorted, i was just about to pm you my email address for those data logs what was wrong with the components? were they damaged by the alternator spike, or did they just need upgrading? thats the problem with megasquirt, it takes some work to get it suited to each engine,

Ah probably the diode then, the diode pack on my welder has burnt out, it stop the voltage flowing at all, so would definately cause you problems, launch control might be a good idea with your set up! where do you get your turbo's from, the bearings have gone on my T25 and i'm looking to get a good refirbished one, not that i can use the buggy with the weather we're having,

Sweet glad you got it sorted amazing what a few little caps n diodes can do to your car. Hopefully you can get some sleep now

Excellent work there dude Don't your arches need extending slightly to cover the tyres? plus stop any arch scrubbing? Just a thought as coppers may pull you on that is all
