Right.......bought two AD08's this morning, just waiting for them tone delivered.

Now on its last MOT, it had one advisory this being a steering joint. Having a look at my current tyres they have worn unevenly so guessing tracking is out. Planned on getting the tracking done when getting the tyres fitted.

Would it be good to get this joint done at the same time? Not entirely sure what part it is tbh.

Had two AD08's fitted on the front this morning!! going to buy another two next pay day for the rear.

Not given the car a good going yet but will report back what I think of them when I have done.

Few pictures;

How much Craig ???

Got them £244 delivered for two. From
black circles.Got my mum some tesco clubcard points to.

Heard good things on this site about them so, and they were cheaper than conti 3's to so, though might aswell.

I was thinking of just using a bit of paint on the ends of them. Can you buy black ones for it?

from Karl? Just less of £80 if I remember correctly. Not sure if the prices have changed mind.

Give him a ring!

 

[Gez]

I'm not needing a service yet, I'm only on 5,000 miles. It's just for future reference

Mate, those carbon end plates look fantastic, big improvement over the standard 'carbon' effect, nice subtle mod!

Samco Hose's | 2 more AD08's

Just purchased two more AD08's for the rear of the car. I have a fair bit of tread left on one of the conti 3's I currently on the car so I'm gonna find a a spare speedline or raider to have as a spare wheel just in case.

And in other news;

As some members might know I have been working with Samco to make a kit for the 197/200. I had mine delivered the other day and went straight on.

Before;



After;

I like them

Next plans;

Cambelt
Discs and Pads

Also fancying some spacers and a 200 diffuser with carbon rings. But running and maintenance first!

 

[Weo]

Looking good mate, mine came the other day, haven't got round to fitting yet though, easy to do? As looks pretty tight.

 

[Craig_B]

The hoses?

Found the hose on the right and the air feed one easy.

But the throttle body one is a bit harder, quality on them is awesome.
