I know you don’t want to change calipers, but the popular Mégane RS Brembo’s are often used on 324 or 340mm discs. Love how the interior came out btw! 👌
28mm thick is quite hefty! But i'm going to take some time for this brake upgrade and cobble together something nice, probably in the summerbreak or in winter during the engine swap.
I think a set of used C7 Corvette Z06 calipers from eBay would look great on those rotors. They are made by Brembo and are pretty economical compared to ones with a higher end car manufacturer's logo on them. Shipping to you might be a little expensive, though.
Thanks for the suggestion! I just looked them up and a set of four calipers goes for about 1000 dollar, including shipping and that's not bad indeed. A very common brake upgrade on a 240 tho is the V70R brembo's. A front kit with discs, adapters and racepads goes for just under 1000 euros and that's also very economical i think. And with that I do not have to re-invent the wheel and i can just bolt on the parts. That's also worth a lot for me these days.
Probably... But i'm going to pause the brake upgrades for now and focus on driving with what I have now and probably collect some parts to do a proper upgrade and ditch this half-baked solution.
Some little montage while you work on something with some music would be a nice addition, in between all the talking. But all that stuff takes time to film and edit obviously.
“Welcome inside the suspension of my car!” 😂
Great progress on the racecar! looking to watch more videos to come.
Thanks for watching the video(s)! There's absolutely more to come :-)
Another nice video Johan. Commenting for the algo!
Always good to feed the algorithm :D
Hahaha I’m here for the outtakes 😂
I've had so many awkwardness in these shots that I had to do something with them 😅

28mm thickness for the Mégane, 20mm for the V90 might be an issue.

This thing is sweet! Subbed
Thanks for the sub man!
Hallo Johan maak ook maar een Rollcage voor mijn rolstoel donder er wel eens mee om top video weer groet
Hahaha goed plan!
Looking great bud! keep up the job! P.S. Will the brakes of a XC90 fit? The V8 versions are also huge.

I will try to do this more often, but this is a phase of the build where it's harder to get this kind of footage. But i'll try my best!
