    rally design

    I have put a few bob their way since starting my gt restoration, all i can say is they are not the most helpful chaps. Its not just me but also my brother and a friend of ours uses them alot and have both had similar experiences. No problem with the products, but feel if your not spending £1000 or more they just don't seem very helpful.


    Demon tweeks on the other hand, yeah you pay a few more pounds but they really do help you out when on the phone. I had no problems returning my seats, buying pads and even just picking their brains when after advice on a set of wheels.


    Anyone else had problems with them?


    It probably because im from up north

    Re: rally design

    I have only used merlin for my brake ducts and that was done online, are they helpful guys?


    Ha ha maybe one of them can point me in the direction of a paint code for my wilwood caliper i scratched, because the guy at rally design was not up to much.

    have you now sorted the space problem between wheel caliper,( im guessing a 5mm spacer )
    as regards to colour match .maybe take the caliper with you and have a wonder in halfords and try match up with there touch up sticks or a paint supplier, the one near me has about 4000 diferent shades of red just dont get to carried away ,after a few months of track and road use there going to pick up scuffs /stone chips etc

    I have ordered my discs, lancier. It will give me a 2mm thicker disc and the hub size is basically the same as the gt, about 20mm

    Overall the disc will sit about 2mm further back, im going to have to machine the the centre out from 59-61mm and elongate the bolt holes.

    Once i get the disc on im going to have a mess on with spacers, i may have to use a 5mm on the front

    Im gutted about my caliper, what can you do
