Popped outside for 5 mins yesterday . well thats what I told the missus

I went out hoping to get a start on the jobs I wanted to get done by next weekend ended up doing them all

So I went out and started with draining the gearbox oil.

Whilst that was draining I changed my brake pads on the front from brembos to mintex m1144.

They didn't need changing but the brembos wasn't great , especially after running ds2500 on my last car.

I then changed the copper sump plug washer and refited it.

Then I refilled the gear box with a handy pump I got from eBay Link>

Once that was done I changed my rear calliper as mine was sticking and I forgot to take photos ....

Once this jobs were tackled I set about bleeding the braking system and the clutch. I used motul rbf600

Think It was safe to say that in needed changing


Not sure on whats next for the car , Wheel refurb will be done shortly and the I can't make my mind up on either getting a cup spoiler or getting a remap . Hmmm

 

[Big Ben]

Bloody hell thats good going!
Cars going to feel a whole lot better
