Have you called the seller? They should replace the odd caliper. Those calipers have two different style pistons and seals. I went through the different seals issue before . Do a search in "brakes" for "rebuilds".

seen you in north ippy yesterday sometime, or the day before, pretty sure it was yesterday tho.

Ha I only just Registered it on Tuesday and that has been its only outing. i need to tune it its running rough.

Considering we both dont live in Ipswich we sure live close lives. I've got a type 3 shifter and short shifter plate on the way.

Well guess what Aus Super. German auto dismantlers 6 months later have posted the missing items over , after Richard from V-forced got me the missing parts .

In 2 weeks im going to checker plate (diamond plate?) the front floor infront of the drivers seat up to the front fire wall. I was going to cut out the section and leave 1-2cm around the edge to silicon and pop rivot it all down. Will i loose any strength from the seat mounts?

[AusSuper]

was taking the girl to the shops, she felt like getting an ipod, why are you putting the checker plate on the floor exactly? moisture between the two could be a future issue, and seat mounts loosing strenght doubtful, not from how im picturing in my head, it wount touch the seat rails so should have no affect. still dont see why you would do it tho... other than looking neater than the stock floorpan, in my experience checkerplate or any alloy on the floor or those "racing pedals" can be abit slippery so im not a fan from what ive driven, just a thought, slipping feet can be very bad thats all.

Just drove the 1302 properly for the first time on saturday. After a bit of a tune up, turned out cylinder three spark plug was very fowled and the lead was burnt/carbonized. Boy did it run a hell of a lot better.

Took it for a drive on the high way. Engine was good, suspention was stuffed, i think the front left is dry as.

Pulled into the servo to put some fuel in thought i would check the engine was still ok. The two oil stripes that went all the way from were i had been to the pool below my car told me it wasnt. Checked the dip stick i had used maybe a third from high to low on the stick in 20min. So i filled it up again and drove home.

I think the rear main oil seal is gone. I will check/replace it on the weekend as well as change the suspention to 1303 in preperation for the 944 turbo set up.

I'm not working on weekends any more and now Ive got time to work on my car. So i installed my 5in Speco tacho. I love it, it makes me like my car so much more. The needle is very jumpy maybe Ive got dirty points?

[punchbuggyracer]

Ive had to take the engine out to fix the rear main oil seal and replace the fly wheel o ring. I thought that this would be a good oppertunity to replace the suspect engine mounts.

yeah it looked like they needed to be replaced to.

I think the technical term was engine rests.

Red New parts just look great!

I also got my hands on a shift kit and type 3 shifter.

You can see the type 3 on the bottom of the picture with the bent back rod and the pin to keep it in location.

This is the selecter rod from the Type 1.
This one is after i cut a slot for the T3 pin. I took my time to try and make it a nice snug fit. I used a 1mm cutting disc on an angle grinder.

This is how Ive tried to put the shifter in, I don't know that it is right. I think it was actually upside down, it was slipping into reverse when going for 2nd from 3rd previously. The metal tabs are bending down now.

Sorry about the photos, I only have my Mobile to take pictures with.
