Thanks lads. Appreciate it. Deep down i am hoping 450 is conservative. Really loving it right now. Havn't used it all week. Will be removing the s3 brakes next week, chasing that GTR proved they were not up to the job. Stevie  :drinking:

Also needs the master cylinder upgrade to get the best pedal.  Only really need a good 4 pot kit on a road/track car.

Quick pic of the Eboost2 installed in my £10 ebay vent. Cannot explain how good this controller is completely transformed the drive over the n75.


Custom s3 brackets made up to install the Eurospec brakes not to much of a headache.


Brakes are on. Some bedding in needed. Pedal feels promising so far.

And a quick mock up to make sure they line up ok. Waiting on fluid and lines.

Nice looking Eboost solution, i have to go that way aswell with the LOBA LO04XX.
And i'm glad the brake picture is a mock up, otherwise you'll have trouble bleeding that caliper  :wink:

I recommend the eboost2, quality product.

Ok point taken i wasnt really thinking about that as it started pissin down. Actually just wanted the caliper to read correctly but i will remember next time round.

Cheers, Stevie.  :happy2:

Not at 360bhp but chasing that R35 at this level as hard as i could go was a test to much for them.

Cheers Benj appreciate it.  :happy2:

On a track day ?

Are those revos the same as the forges ? Whats the pad choice like ? Are they spacerless or have they got extra depth built in the bells ?

I like a pimpin set of brakes but fink im just going to stick with the S3s this time though, as long as i dont get any issues with them on track days - they are decent stoppers, if not a bit weighty

Looks good !

At the hill bry. Videos on the previous page.

Dont know much about them tbh apart for them being Eurospec calipers hopefully have lines and fluid sorted by next week. Not sure on pad choice and all i can tell you is that the bells are mega deep.

The s3 brakes are a great setup i have ran them for long enough. Hope somebody buys mine soon! Thats what i have noticed with these brakes the weight difference is huge.

Ta mate, Stevie.  :happy2:
