Sweet!

 

will you be at the dragon this year? if so, will you have these on hand?

 

Dan
I am so hopeful that I will be able to come by and get that by-pass valve and these very soon. I'm leaning towards the supersprint exhaust with the tips we saw [but I still love the Borila sound on Lukes]. PM me with a price if you get time and think about the 14'th of this month. Really want to do this before the Dragon that is unless you've changed your mind and want to do this at the Dragon. Red would be the lines I'd like to try.

hey art,
does that mean that you will be pulling of your jcw's exhaust? if you need a donor car for that exhaust, then I am sure my little mcs would be willing and waiting! this is jose, by the way....

 

Dan pushing over 50,000 miles do you think I need to get some brakes with blue hose lines? Also don't forget the Alta codes for the BLUCOOPR. Will be up in a couple weeks probably with Doc. Email me BLUCOOPR or chainsawpop@aol.com Luke

 

I will be at the Dragon, and plan on having the brake lines on hand. I would be happy to take special requests for colors.
Luke, i will give you a call in the next few days.
Art, The 14th sounds good. If you still want to do lines on the M, let me know when you might have time.

 

MMMMMM.....yes Perhaps red again... Any chance on you being able to powder coat the calipers red????

 

nice!!!

 

I saw these at Dan's shop last week - they really are NICE and MUCH heavier-duty than the national brand braided lines I bought. Alas, I just recently installed my "previously presumed high quality, now relegated to crappy" stainless lines.

But gotta do the new lines... love that they're beefier.... just gotta decide between red and blue...

 

Art, Don't you have the red JCW brakes?
I did a set for someone recently, the powder coater guy screwed up and I got them back loaded with sand, parts cleaner was taking the finish off, I had serious problems bleeding them and had well over 30 hours into it by them by the time it was right.

 

How much would cost for:
Clear front and rear lines.
Carbo Tech XP8 CooperS-JCW Pkg front and rear.

????

 

G2 caliper paint kit....ez.... durable.... long lasting.... cost effective... at least has been all of the above for me....

 

Marwan,
I have sent you a PM

 

how much would it cost to have the blue ones installed at the dragon?
jose

 

The Dragon installed price will be $220, this includes brake fluid (Pentosin Racing, slightly better than super blue)

 

Dan, I'm purchasing your brake lines but I've got a couple of questions.

-I'm upgrading to JCW on the front while keeping the rear calipers stock. Would your brake lines work with the new setup I have?

-Also, I do not have power bleeder to bleed the brake oil. Would you give me instructions on how to do it? Or at least a solution or instructions for changing the brake fluid?

PS: You got a PM from me.

 

The R53 brake lines will fit the R53 JCW brake kit. If you plan on using the R56 calipers, then we will neeed to make a custom line to fit without modification (no problem or added cost).
I do not use a power bleeder myself. Use a turkey baster (or similar) to remove as much fluid from the reservoir as possible, and refill with new fluid. You will need a helper...find a piece of clear tubing that will fit over the bleed screw, run this into a bottle (plastic soda bottles work great) have your helper pump the brake pedal, while holding pressure, open the bleed screw, the pedal goes to the floor, fluid is pumped out of the screw and into the bottle. Close the screw and repeat this process until the fluid coming out of the caliper is clean, about 10 pumps for the first wheel. Check the reservior level often and top off as needed. Do NOT let the reservior go empty. It is commonly accepted to start from the wheel furthest from the master cylinder and work your way to the closest. Used brake fluid should be disposed of in the same manner as waste oil, and it is flammable.
--Dan

 

Thanks Dan for the prompt and professional reply. This brings final couple of questions:
-When bleeding, I've to start adding from the new fluid just to make sure the reservior neve goes empty. This makes me understand that I SHOULD have extra bottles of the fluid to keep adding untill the old fluid is completely off.
-R56 rotors need modification? Then if I'm going to start using them I have to use them for ever or re-change my brake lines, right? Well if this is a decision I should make, what do you think I should do? Go ahead with the R56 rotors?

 

The rotors will not need to be modified. If you are doing an upgrade with R56 calipers, the brake lines will be different than if you use JCW R53 calipers.
I normally use 1 full liter to do a complete flush

 

I think you might have missunderstood me. I'll be running JCW (R53) calipers on R56 rotors (which is already a modification IMO). As per your earlier post, R56 rotors need different lines. So what IF I want to run JCW R53 rotors? I shall buy different front lines from you AGAIn. This is my point.

So while I'm at it, shall I use R56 rotors permenantly or just get R53 rotors from the beginning?

 

Opps, it's me who missunderstood your post. I confirm I'll run JCW R53 calipers. Sorry Dan
