The ones I'd like will be 19" (crap offsets though ) hey wasso, what a beautiful subtle job, i'm a newbie of two and a half weeks standing and i think what you've done is superb and subtle and in my mind they're the best type of mods. it's certainly given me food for thought and juding by previous comments the turbo versus supercharger argument could go on forever. i think you've done a wonderful jon. samsniss350Z Ah cheers made my morning that has.

The last calliper should be with me by the end of next week. I'll be heading down to see Jez the day before Keevil for a checkup so may get Jez to whack them on. If not then I'll be down soon just need to work some dates. I'll sort it all out this weekend.

Wasso Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Well finally Godspeed have delivered!!! So I am now the proud owner of 4 complete calipers ready to fit. So the car will go in to my local garage fairly soon for fitting. The Blitz spoiler has been purchased but won't be with me for a few weeks. Once my old calipers are off, they will be treated by a special service by my own hands ready for resale. So watch out for a special for sale thread.

Didn't cover themselves in glory did they Sorry I mentioned them to you now Don't worry MrG I got the end result apart from taking 4 months lol. I moaned at their MD, saying they were useless. Their communication was horrific, and I made sure they knew about it. Would I use them again, no. Bennett even enquirer with them and said they use special paint. Bennett knew the issues I had and put the phone down. I'd say your work you had done was a one off, it's shameful to know an established company such as Godspeed could fail on 3 occasions. Still though the job is now done. At last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I know crazy, which is why I think you were very lucky to get a good job done.

Wasso Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Okay so finally after many months of pain and sorrow the calipers are on They're only iPhone pics for now till I get on my laptop for the fitting pics etc. Had them fitted by Mr Chris Keyser who got very MAD with my car. For whatever reason despite taking calipers of and on within 60 seconds air had somehow managed to get into the system. So plenty of hours of bleeding ensued. I even tried the trick of driving down the road to heat the system with heavy braking, which only made a slight 10% improvement. So Chris adopted the depress the pedal over night trick. Out came a lump of wood and the pedal was depressed for 10 hours+ The next morning I have 85% braking, and now after the weekend I'm back to 100% after the remaining air has been lost through heat. Anyway a chapter finished until the next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
