Car passed mot with just a bulb needing replacing which i am chuffed at

Today I cleaned up my rear caliper carriers as they were red in colour and the new calipers that are arriving today are just bare aluminium and that is the theme I want to keep. I am lucky enough to have a media blaster at work so each carrier took a matter of minutes. Here's a few piccys...

My car still has the main cat and that's how I wanna keep it. The exhaust has had an affect positively and engine feels more responsive. I definitely have no flat spot and the cost of a map and what you get in return really isn't worth it as it's n/a. Will leave it as it is now.

Raised idle is generally a vacuum leak mate

So I have had a little agro with my rear discs. The discs weren't lathed very well as one sides tapered and hard to grip in the lathe. so basically they have been rubbing on and off few times a second and braking feels horrible. So what I have done is ordered up brand new pagid rear discs. Went...

I have a totally stock Clio 200 and just fitted a ktec manifold as stocker was blowing. Car drives absolutely fine and dandy without issue. My question is do I have to remap or will the air fuel ratios etc still be ok as it is with cat still in etc. Is it safe ?

Yeah welcome dude. And do yourself a favour and just go with some ds2500s or ds3000s. Do not use ebc pads they are made of cheese

Hey guys, little update. Took a photo of manifold fitted down the back of engine. Next up the other day when I changed the front discs and pads I had noticed a front brake dust seal slightly damaged so today I replaced it. Here's old seal out The lower seal is the one that's been...

Not much change in noise and as for performance I haven't had a chance to floor it just yet to be honest.

It really is beautifully made. You get what u pay for absolutely. Stock exhaust system other than manifold.

Today my car has been having a few bits and bobs done. Firstly I have changed the front lower pivot bearing drivers side as it had play in it quite badly. I checked the other side and that has been done recently as the bolts been replaced with a 13mm headed bolt and there is no play in it...

So today during breaks at work I have had my rear discs lathed to make sure of true-ness and give a fresh surface.took of a total of 7 thou each side which is naff all and then once discs were refitted I put on brand new pads and spring clips . Please excuse the caliper paint , it's bloody awful...

New lower engine mount arrived today. Will be fitted when I fit the exhaust manifold.

Just masked off the door handles and sprayed in situ. Four coats so nice and thick and I am very happy with how it came out ,now just to do the passenger side

Forgot to say also I have an exhaust blow which is quite bad and I wanted to fix it properly and fully so I have purchased a k-tec manifold and will be fitting it very soon. It's a beautifully made piece of kit. Will keep you posted.

Ok so today I did the following things. I did the clutch fluid renew / bleed as I didn't get round to it the day I did the brakes. As expected the fluid was absolutely black as the piccys shows below. Whilst I was there I cleaned out all the battery tray pieces and airbox also. Then I moved...

Driving home yesterday and my car has come up with abs / esp fault code on dash. Plugged it into rstuner and has come up with this 1 fault which would explain it ( 2 orange is abs settings that can't be checked as have to purchase module to open section). Still happy though as no other issues or...

Ha yeah your not wrong.why wait about lol. I will be honest, I haven't had a chance to do much more since the cabin/air filter just yet. I am waiting on a few other important maintenance parts now which will take priority as MOT is due in 4 weeks. That being said anything that I do manage to do...

eBay sell flexis dude

Almost forgot. I fitted new air filter element which wasn't bad at all but still swapped it out. Lastly I did cabin filter which was really crappy.
