Celebration

[Gazzab]

Picking up cerb tomorrow from joolz. Post running in service plus 330mm brake upgrade.
All is well with engine post rebuild and so am looking forward to adding a few revs and bedding in the new brakes. Just in time for winter.

How's the 330 feeling?

No mapping?

I'll tell you tomorrow.

Not yet. Compression is higher due to engine work but with wired liners and copper gaskets it should be solid. So should hopefully respond well to a remap. It has a standard red rosé map currently.

Hopefully 330's for me soon, got the bells now.
Just need to decide on full caliper refurb or just replace the seals etc. I think I have a lazy piston contributing to poor performance.

What pads and discs did you go for?

[Gazzab]

Went for AP discs. Joolz sourced them. Not sure which ones or the pads.

[RichV6]

Using 330 front discs with AP6600 calipers and standard rear discs and calipers, DS2500 pads all round. Brake balance front to rear is much improved original 4.2 set up used to lock up rears easily. Have done a few track days including Spa and the brakes are fine only getting a little noisy when hot which will be the pads rather than anything else.
Enjoy the new brake set up - I'm looking forward to the results of your engine mapping. Mine in at power next week now its run in.

Perfect weather for a nice dry morning blast up Derbyshire way!

[Gazzab]

Thanks aide, that cracked the morning frown.

If I wasn't working I would have driven down for a drive over the peaks.

[Gazzab]

Am picking her up shortly then off to ripley for a strip to pants session (osteo) and then back via the seaside town of Matlock bath. Always good for a cerbera exhaust popping drive by.

Enjoy the drive then Gazza.

Lovely brakes! The bells are actually AP stamped bells which is a first for joolz. He cleaned and painted them. Looks great and stops well as tested by a pheasant and some horses.

Nice to hear you have the car back & in fine fettle, lets hope there's an Indian summer;)

[Gazzab]

Weathers good today albeit traction isnt high what with cold ish road and freshly washed surface... Managed to get a half decent loss of traction.

Love it, love those 330s.

They are certainly an improvement on the tuscan S one piece 322's albeit I suspect stopping power is identical if both were new. The wear, fade etc should be much improved.

AP discs are CP3580-2898/2899 with the G8 an 8 grooved face
