What is the difference between 888/887 calipers and normal Chim / Griff 500 ones?

Size

arent they four piston compared to just one on the original chim/griff setup? And with bigger discs... 288 instead of 260

Nope
There a lot bigger
And the disc is a good size bigger

Google the Brembo upgrade

Ole, that is one untouched engine and front end!

When I did mine I sat on a small stool in the engine bay much to my families amusement

That's better Derek!

If it was only that easy........

Well it's been real rubbish weather here today, so........

Wired the radio so it can be used without the ignition on.

Fitted a very cute pair of washers instead of the horrible loops of plastic that spray in all directions.
These have 4 adjustable jets per wiper arm.



Then fitted my birthday pressie, roll on the sprint and TD this month!



Removed the puny 2 watt speedo bulb and fitted a 4 watt bulb to even up the dial lights.

Good job, make sure you buy and use an external mic with the gopro! makes all the difference... need to drill a hole in the camera housing to make it work :=)

Nice angry sound DB, try mounting the mic in the middle, right under the numberplate, minimal wind noise, maximum v8 noise

^^^^^^^^ Thanks for that, I wasn't sure whether they were twin piston or not. Maybe my next project, now that I've finished relocating the battery.

[jojackson4]

Dropped the exhaust and found I have a Je sports type
Then pulled the near side manifold,nice crack in No7
With a bit of look it will be back on by Saturday

[jojackson4]

Started this little project

A bit of metal glue a bag of 6 mm holes and some wading fingers crossed it isn't too loud
With the je pipe
