Sure, it'll be available. I'm moving forward with the black master since I have some plumbing ideas and may utilize the prop valve with the integrated front tee.

Did you ever install the proportioning valve and the remote adjuster?



New spacer so the pushrod is at the correct clearance to the MC piston

I haven't purchased a proportioning valve yet.

psyber_0ptix 03-26-2018 03:22 PM

When do you need this?

I'm toying around with brakes this week. I should know which one i'm moving forward with soon, but otherwise the standard Wilwood 1" master with proportion valve as sold through TSE/949 will be available. Never installed, but measured and handled.

I'm not in any hurry but can move on it when you are ready.

I like dis :likecat:

I'm shocked you haven't relocated that oil filter. I guess there is more room rocking the V8 roadster gear.

Where to relocate to? Also concerned about more points of failure,but it would be convenient elsewhere.

m2cupcar 03-27-2018 12:16 PM

Having the intake manifold support arm removed makes it way easier to access the filter too.

miataman04 03-27-2018 01:09 PM

I can see why you would leave it. I relocated mine because I was tired of cutting my arm on junk.

18psi 03-27-2018 01:23 PM

it all comes down to how often you change the oil, imo.

if it's a daily and this is a monthly ordeal, I can totally see the convenience of remote mount. but if it's a weekend toy and see's like 1 oil change per year it's probably not a prob

sonofthehill 03-28-2018 12:56 AM

I must admit, I can never seem to do it without getting some oil on the subframe, which sucks.

shuiend 03-28-2018 10:30 AM

I want my filter as close to the engine as possible to catch shit as quick as possible.

Wow thats a good idea. I've never thought of that one.

psyber_0ptix 03-29-2018 03:43 PM

Waiting on fan bracket from machinist. Also looking for some wood for a splitter. Things are standstill at the moment regarding brakes for the moment. I'm unsure if I should use the tee'd proportion valve, or the one that everyone else uses. I'll have to figure out how to install the remote bias adjustment stuff, or if I even want to bother but I know I'm using the black master cylinder as it fits perfect with that small bullet spacer for the pushrod.

I don't know anything about ducting, I may try to tackle that while the bumper is off.

Yes. It would be awesome if someone here had the specs or a drawing of a good setup so you could just make a template and go. Would ABS be any better to use?

psyber_0ptix 03-31-2018 07:50 PM

Ive literally spent all day trying my hand at cardboard templating and ducting. I got absolutely no where. The plastic was way thick and didn't want to give up its curled Form. Whether or not the templates are of any use, I think ultimately there's a lot going on with wiring even without the a/C condenser. I admit pure and utter defeat and have gained no ground and ended up taking more parts off the car than I had started.

Aidan suggested leaving the plastic roll out in the sun with weights which im doing now till tomorrow. I don't know how invested I'll be with this now. May just slap on the lrb under tray and throw together a splitter thanks to the guidance of several forum members.

Ducting. Black magic. I'll probably need to seek more experienced help to guide me through this as I feel I'm on over my head with this one.

My wife will be out of town later in April. Come down to my place and we can do our cars together and build all the AERO parts.

When? I'm trying to get my car up and sorted for the colonial cup challenge /weekend hpde at summit (4/20-4/22) but will gladly take the trip down to sort this out and hang. I'll have some splitters cut next week but probably won't be running it since I have no wing yet.
