BulletMagnet

I have an idea Zazur that might help. When I visited Sally and Steve at Melton Tyre and Exhausts, Steves mate came along in his Corsa VXR. He said he had a squealing problem with his brakes and that the pads weren't even worn down. Steve then suggested to put it on the ramps and he'd have a look. He removed the wheel (front) and removed a brakepad to examine it. He then noted that the area on the pad that comes in contact with the carrier was dry and needed some coppergrease on it, and also the same area on the carrier too. Reason for this is that where the pad and carrier contact, there is slight movement, and if there is no coppergrease there, it's metal grinding on metal, thus making a squealing sound. He greased teh contact areas on all four corners and Owen took the car out for a spin. Returned with a smile on his face as the squealing had gone. Maybe this is worth trying. You might be able to see where the contacy areas are as they should be shiny because no grease is there. hope this helps

Build a CarPC with emulation software for all the current consoles, then you'd have a whole arcade to your disposal

You know that it means you'll have to do the LEDs in the Bose HU too right?

The Varis lip is a straight on fit. Takes about 30 mins ish to fit, all you need is a 10mm socket and a phillips screw driver for the self tappers. And maybe a torch should you lose the selftappers in the lip....

nice work

I don't think Ian qualifies for UBER JDM, because for him to be UBER JDM, he needs to strike an Ultraman pose infront of the car or drive around in an Ultraman costume, until then no UBER JDM qualification... I can live without UBER JDM Who is ultraman? OMG!!! How on earth can you call yourself a JDM Whore and NOT know about Ultraman?!?!?!?!?!? See here for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraman

ROFL Gaz...only in america...

...I got a pair of Prada shoes...

I had crap parents, so surely, I am defying your logic...

I owe you thanks too Nick. Many thanks for taking time and talking to Greg. Very much appreciated.

I use Rimwax on my polished lips, love the stuff. Just don't use Bilberry Wheel cleaner neat, dilute at least 1:10

I have spoken to Greg and what can I say... ... there may be a fairytale ending yet. Will update as it progresses.

Bilberry dillution ratio: 1 part Bilberry and 1000 parts water...... But seriously, if you use Bilberry on regular Zed wheels, I believe that a ratio of 1:5 will do. If you have wheels with polished lips like me then dillute even more to avoid what happened to me. (Or don't use Bilberry at all for wheels with polished lips)

Saved going back to page 3 I am not going to ask how you got a Username of DildoX I used to f**k about alot during CounterStrike gaming sessions, so I named myself that...at least it stopped people calling me a d!ck, lol

Like I said, they will probably say I should have started with a dilluted mixture first and then go up in strength as opposed to using it neat from the off. Tis ok, I had to learn the hard way, changed the thread title to reflect that.

While you were dropping the roof you drove under a low bridge? Early roadsters (anycar) which started life as a hardtop before being converted to a softtop/roadster were called choptop's. Wow......am I showing my age I know, but funny how when the americans made "choptop"s, it meant that they lowered the roof itself and didn't convert to a soft top. They just put a tent on top of the car and used Gaffer Tape to hold it in place Anyway, where did BulletMagnet come from????? Go back to page 3 of this thread and you will find my entry...

Nixy isn't actually B.A.Baracus is she? "I ain't gettin on no plane!" Have a nice time you two.

If Nick from Clenz reads this, could you please tell ValetPro to change the instructions on the bottle. Not placing blame, but it may avoid others from having this happening to them. I know that what I will be told is that I should have started with a dilluted mixture rather than a neat application. Possibly add a warning for wheels with polished lips. Reduce the amount of dwell time stated for "neat" application. Change the instructions to do each wheel individually rather than "Spray all wheels, allow to dwell"

When I first read that I thought....... first time off for the bikini top Careful Mike, you will be having wet dreams next easy deffo on the slaplist now...

I think those bolts may actually be titanium...

Well, here's the bad news. It has actually eaten the lacquer. I went to a local car detailer that does cars aswell as boats and he tried a variety of differt polishes, from very mild to medium abrasiveness. What we realized was when we polished the problem area, the cloth would go black, indicating it's actually polishing the aluminium. On another area on the same wheel the cloth would stay clear, showing that the lacquer is still in place. I'll just leave it as is for now, just gonna put Rimwax on the wheels for at least some protection and get them refurbed when I can. Good news is, I have now found a place to cater for all my Meguiars stuff, he stocks everything afaik. The guys company is called Dirty Dubs and goes by the name of James (but I'm not really sure about the name cos tbh, I've forgotten already, sry) Really friendly chap and really helpful. Did mention the forums to him and he may register on here. He also mentioned that his missus is perhaps looking for a Zed too. Here is his site http://www.dirty-dubs.co.uk/
