I've got an Apex hotpipe, doesnt look like that one though :no:

Sparkplug cover looks good :thumbs:

 

[kimi]

Colipack cover was from bling products,
its just a plain bent bit of stainless.

The silvia S and the Apex performance logo on my hotpipe
were made by my friend Rob, who owns the company called
Likwidart, he did alot of work for me on my yaris :thumbs:

I thought the cover looked familiar. Had one on the S14

Another update

Had my brakes upgraded to Brembo 315mm front big brake kit grooved,
and rear grooved brembos.
I have Ferodo ds2500 all round with Goodridge braided brake hoses and
Castrol SRF brake fluid.

It really has improved my braking greatly after taking it out for a run this weekend, i got some pictures while i was out and about.

 

[Robbyp]

i know ive asked u before but what lip is that u got the car looks really good there!

 

[Dazz0i]

/me must get rear spats!! i get jealous every time i see a car with them on...

[kimi]

You mean this one

My lip spoiler is a trust copy.

 

[sushiming]

i still want the aero bumper and splats
how much did u pay for the brakes kimi??

 

[kimi]

how much did u pay for the brakes kimi??

The fronts were from DB brakes over on sxoc,
they are the 315mm plain brembo big brake kit, i had them grooved.
I think they were around ?190 delivered.

And i did a nice deal with Apex through my work for my rears,
i think they should have been ?90.

I need some new rear disc's, is it worth getting Brembo ones? They cant be that much different can the?

 

[Nicely]

Unfortunately, that's probably true. The standard rear brakes are crap due to design. Changing to some slotted or drilled discs isn't going to make a great deal of difference. They need a more fundamental change. Getting the handbrake off the calliper for a start...

 

[Topper]

Yes, if money was no problem i'd get a Z32 setup. However, i'd rather a cheap 'upgrade', but fron what you've said, that does seem like its possible

 

[Nicely]

Not sure how much the Apex rear brake jobbies are, but you still have to change to the Z32/Skyline handbrake setup. You aren't going to get any significant difference for under the cost of a 2nd hand Z32 setup. Sorry, but that's the reality. Quite honestly, changing to some decent rear pads is the best you are going to get with the standard setup. There simply isn't enough stopping ability in the calliper.
