Brakes are on, with great thanks to my mate ben!

Not overally impressed with them at the moment, but they're still bedding in

Pics!


The obligatory (sp?) comparision shot...



And what needed to be moved off the drive so I could get on...

[Minstral]

Not overally impressed with them at the moment, but they're still bedding in

you will be once they are bedded in mate,slam them on then you'll see how good they are

[trecoll]

Oh I will...

We're doing my rear shoes tonight (hopefully, Ben is pretty unreliable sometimes, but always a great help/mate) I will take a few more pics of the MR2 and Ill have a comparision on my (I think) completley worn shoes and new shoes

[Minstral]

let me no how u get on with the rear shoes i may be do that if its worth it. and how easy it is? are you coming on sunday?

[trecoll]

Didn't do rear shoes last night, doing them tomorrow instead.
Erm, just replacing them with standard ones, so I spose its worth it as mine have basically nothing left!

Yes coming sunday

[Minstral]

thought possibly if u wanted to see how good they are could take u out in mine quickly,either after or before

[trecoll]

Could toby mate, will see





ZS Rear bumper is on now!



Not the best paint job in the world, and infact, its reacted on one side but will do untill I can be bothered to sort it

Put reflective strips along the bottom edges, and when I find my trim tape shall be putting the little things either side of the number plate and my fiesta badge back on (fell off, when I washed it )



Will take another one of these shots, when [Note: Not if!] I lower it!!

[trecoll]

It's Lowered!
Over yesterday's ride height, due to having put a load of stuff in that I need for next weekend (going away camping)

[trecoll]

New mod arrived yesterday.

I mean new, not even in shops yet! Bought it direct from e-tech!


Look! I'm wearing jeans!

That's right! Brake calliper paint!

"But wait, that sh!ts been sold for ages!" I hear you cry!


Well, not in this colour, hell, It aint even listed on the box!!

Please note: Photo does not do this colour any justice



YUMMY, when on and dry, it looks very very similar to that of the MK2 Focus RS green (the colour I'd have one in! )

Will get proper pics up when I get round to painting them!

[trecoll]

Ok well, they're painted!

Firstly two notes;
Please excuse the dirty wheels, will be washing the car at somepoint this weekend hopefully
Please excuse the not quite ok positioning of the axle stands (I don't normally put them on the jacking points, as I don't like it, but my trolley jacks seal had perished and nowhere had one in stock :shock: )

Anyways, pics!!

Before:


Wheel off:


MMMMMMMMMMMM:


O/S First coat:


O/S Second coat:


N/S after two coats:


Started to get dark by the time the wheels were back on.
Camera wanted to use the flash, but paint is clean and shiney so it just reflects...
Taken a few different ones, hopefully you can make out the colour







My brother is away for the weekend, but when he gets back I'll borrow his camera and take a few more pics to try and show the colour better!

[BC DEVILLE]

Loving the green calipers. Dont know how well they will suit a red car though.

Are they zetec s calipers??

[trecoll]

No, STs

[trecoll]

Got bored the other day....



Thats a bit long, but you get to hear the exhaust in all sorts of driving situations...



And cut out of the above video. My Video evidence of my 10.14 (there abouts, slightly less as I was relying on myself shouting 60! ) second 0-60 mph run!! Biatches!!
I promise I haven't run the video faster or anything. Reaction time is .13 seconds off the lights too :ugeek:

[dontpannic]

What timing / speed equipment did you use to count 60 mate?

[trecoll]

lol. there's always one. timing is just off the video timing and speed was me shouting 60 when the sat nav said 60!

[dontpannic]

lol I don't doubt you, but its quite an achievement over the 11.9 book figure

[jonyb4]

your exhaust is too loud at low revs, would anoy the f**k out of me, mines louder towards the top

nice drive around town though, always enjoy watching ppls driving videos, i made some before but when i got home to check them the camera could only see my dash :? seats are too low lol

the brakes bedded in yet then?

[trecoll]

lol jony, I used my gorrilla pod to hold the camera between the two headrests, if that helps...

Brakes are bedded in, however if you listen carefully, they are squeaky as sh!t, one of the discs are warped which is why

Edit: Ignore the squeaky brakes comment, I think I cut all the bits with squeaks out

[jonyb4]

lol, ive yet to experiance a warped disc

i dont usually drive mad enough

a gorrila pod one of them things with the bendy arms?

[trecoll]

Thats the one

[jonyb4]

lol thought so, seen them in maplin, look handy dont they

[trecoll]

SPX58V8009 on its way

[jonyb4]

[trecoll]

SPX58V8009 has just arrived at work.... Hopefully get fitted soon!!

[jonyb4]

[trecoll]

lol, im beginning to wonder if your actually mechanicly capable mate... always waiting on help

Well I'm not a mechanic!
And as i've never actually done suspension before, and its kinda important, I'd rather have help from my mechanic mate.
