Well, I think I can finally describe my brakes as epic. Truthfully feel as good in feel and stopping power as my 911. Had it set up with the Comp Cams electric pump, worked a treat, just was very noisy. Took a punt and thought since GM put them on one of the VE models, its has to be better. So lashed out and bought one. Its much smaller and more compact that the CC one, and much much quieter. Also seems to pump it all up so much quicker so its hardly on. Comes with a nice cast alumium bracket so mounting it was easy as. This is the two compared
And this is it fitted.
Took it for a long drive, just smooth as now.
Down side of the day is looks like the Varex experiment may not be a winner. Just parked it my back area, and used a noise meter my mate has loaned me. Does definitely attenuate it, dropped from 102dB to 93. Which is a lot but not enough. So not sure what to do from here, bit of head scratching maybe. It definitely sounds like **** when its closed, but open to me sounds exactly as it did before. Gumby pic of the meter set up for posterity
And lastly couple of people have commented on how crappy my pedals were, so fitted the HSV set I bought, also some new mats, came up OK I think.
