will you be doing any track days, ?

or just road use only,

if your not doing track days then the standard set up will be just fine mate.

 

[Gandy]

So lines will be fine..change of pads too? Any recommended fluid or just standard stuff?

i have the RBF 600 fluid in mine which is supposed to be good.

how many miles have the disks and pads done ?

 

[Gandy]

Rear disks are new and changed at last service, not sure about others

 

[chappo]

the rears dont do that much anyway mate,

wouldnt do any harm getting new front disks and pads,

you should notice a difference then.

 

[Gandy]

Is it worth sticking with the existing brembo's or another set up on the front?

 

[Gandy]

Sticking with brembo or is there atried and tested set up for purely road use

 

[Gandy]

I've just fitted the wind deflectors...really happy with the finished result...(i have since re-set this one as you can see its not straight just above the mirror :scared



RS steering wheel trim also fitted yesterday.

 

[Gandy]

Got me a type r aerial today from a scrappy...not bad considering the car had done some distance the wrong way up. Footrest to go in along with led bulbs!!

 

[chappo]

coming along nicely mate,

 

[Gandy]

I've been busy this weekend...well...besides eating at the obligatory BBQ's!!



Wheels before covers put on....



Wheels after...marked improvement me thinks!!



Next up a new all singing all dancing Alpine head unit, with new speakers to boot once I've been paid!

and finally.....



Swapped out my door lights and overhead ones for LED's...definate improvement...



Might look at making the thing a bit quicker now lol!! :evil:

 

[Cannit]

Nice touches mate. All in the detail

 

[Gandy]

Cheers!! Glad someone said that fella, those bulbs are right little buggers to get out if you have normal sized hands!! lol

 

[Gandy]

I've just fitted the rear Silvatec bulbs...and I'd just like to say that I'd like to hunt down the bloke that designed those rear light clusters...what a shocking design!!

 

[Arran]

Sounds good. I agree about the interior bulbs being a pain in the backside!

 

[Roy]

looking good mate:thumbsup:

 

[DanT]

Some good touches once again! I love my interior led bulbs too

 

[Gandy]

Silvatec bulbs fitted this aft...really smartens the car up and its one of those mods that you won't notice unless you're looking for it....front was much easier than the rears and completed in about 2 mins. Also boot light has been changed for one of my LED's.

Only got the glovebox bulb to change, this is proving a problem though as i can't get the bugger out due to my man hands!!
