small update no pics

bought some longer wheel studs today from rally design, at 95p each
gona be fitted on the rears to hopefully sort out the coilovers for when i go round corners to fast
also once fitted ill get some 5mm spacers, 2mm up from the current ones as im sure thats the cause of the noise

[Dave G fsi]

Sounds good mate!

[xr2i-carl]

Liking the mods dude. Love the coilovers, how much mm drop is it?

[M1K3Y_B]

as im sure thats the cause of the rattles

Don't talk to me about rattles

[Minstral]

mike you av no idea. anything thats not flat you can hear everything.

carl i think its around 50-60mm not sure [ERRR] the garage were i had it done just said how far then i would say a bit lower so aint got a clue how far it really is.

[Minstral]

not done much in the past month or two,
bought a set of brand new Infinity Components at a bargain price from you know were, which are fitted in the fronts,
also done a little refurbing on the front door cards

last week at combe bought a few polybushes off Scott at a bargain price and brand new as well. They are the front arb, and the front top mounts.
the arb bushes took longer to fit than the top mounts such small bolts and such a small area had the smallest ratchet ever


top mounts



i fitted the two sets on different days so i could see what a difference each set made individaully. the arb made a slight difference but can really feel the top mounts.

also some people may no i have bought a set of ST150 brakes and calipers. been waiting on a few bits mainly these before i could fit them

ordered them about 2 weeks ago, was told they would take a week to arrive

cant wait to get them fitted hopefully before fitp

[rsonblackwheels]

hope to see it at fitp

well i bought a far to big tin of hamerite the other day than i needed. as i was painting something else, so as i was bored i thought i would paint my rear arches. thanks to frsjon for answering my pm's

has come up really well and am well pleased with result.

[trecoll]

Looks good that.

Oh, you have something I'm getting soon

[Sphinx]

Reminds me of mine back in the day

[Minstral]

exactly the same excpet yrs is silver

[Steve1127]

get your drums painted black lol

[Minstral]

get your drums painted black lol

need brakes on first just need themon and sorted

[Minstral]

Well had them sitting in my room for over a month, thought was about time i looked at fitting my new brakes. Some people will know they are ST150 brakes and ive also fitted Goodridge lines whilst i was there, to get the most out of them.
Reason it took so long because i wanted someone to help fit them as never done it before and such a vital thing. Did enquire about getting them professionally fitted but would cost £150.
So i just said stuff it and fitted them myself
im glad i did in the end as its not as hard as it sounds and good experience. still bedding them in got another 100 miles or so till i can use them properly, but can feel such a difference already plus no squeaking any more

old brakes, look alright this side

other side, thats what was causing the squealing, same for other 1 as well

caliper fitted

Goodrdige lines

all working

look at the clearance


they only just fit and i have had to take the inside weights off for the moment till i have sorted the calipers. i have put 3mm spacers on for now as its the only way the caliper doesnt obstruct the wheel. i have started filling down the calipers so i can fit the wheel without spacers. think it will be possible to do but will take a while, hence why they are not painted yet. im also taking opinons on colours?
just cant wait to use them proper now

[hb69]

Good stuff Toby, sorry for never being free to help, but in a way i bet your glad you did them on your own

[Minstral]

I'm waiting for help for mine too Said he'll do it for free though, and he's free next saturday, if I get all the right bits in time

[hb69]

Told you So now you have sorted the brakes and suspension, shouldnt be too long before the 2.0 goes in?

[M1K3Y_B]

Look sweet

I think you should either paint them black or colour code them to the car

[Tweek]

Snatched them from high speed yet? Make sure you brace yourself as you do it

[Minstral]

Mine are red already and will be staying like that too

[HCS PIMP]

i always go for a constasting colour saxo was marinus blue with matt black wheels painted em gold
fiesta purple with white wheels so went for white calipers
mini is blue with gold wheels so black calipers although the passenger side one is copper coloured lol

[hb69]

Dont paint them yellow

[Tweek]

Ignore the above post, block Henry from your mind and grab a tin of yellow.

[hb69]

Ok, paint them yellow. But bare in mind you will be joining the elite Quite a responsibility i know



No idea why my rear calipers are still unpainted though
