  1. Changing out the rear studs on the zed, calipers off and trying to get the disc off th hub now Should it just come off with a bit of force? I don't have to remove the large hub nut in the middle do I?
  2. Small update from today, new gear gaiter with purple stitching Waiting for my new handbrake cover to arrive before doing that gaiter to match Also played around with my new brakes Had to buy a new jack 1st, my normal one doesn't fit anymore Can't wait for my new wheel nuts to arrive, the socket I have to use to get the current ones off is SOOO tight on the wheels, even made a few marks recently so covered the socket in some masking tape, didn't really help though About time to change the brakes as well!!! Some noticeable scaring on the current discs Comparison of the new disc in front of the existing ones Even covers up the caliper as well when put over the top of the current setup And the bigger calipers will certainly help as well Hope to get them fitted soon, need to get the rear calipers painted the same colour Day off tomorrow to get on with an extensive list: - Re-fit cubby unit in dash, haven't figured out a wiring module to make it open/close yet but getting sick of looking at a hole in the dash - Cut the phono cables that link the stereo to the speakers, and hardwire them into the speaker wires on the ISO block - Remove existing studs on rear hubs and replace with longer studs - Fit spacers on rear - Remove adjuster cups from rear springs to put the rear down another 10-15mm or so - Fit adjustable drop links front and back - Replace passenger side window motor so I can finally have use of my passenger window again - Remove weight in boot lid - Adjust passenger side headlight alignment, for some reason seems to have noticeably dipped below the drivers side position :\ - Whilst the wheels are off, they'll be getting cleaned and sealed - If my new wheel nuts arrive, they'll go on too
  3. Does he just buy everything? You're next on my list
  4. Pros - bitches love big brakes! Cons - expensive and heavier than standard
  5. Dibs on passenger side window motor You around this week one evening for me to grab it?
  6. I saw a white 370z on the A24 (Ewell by-pass) around 6pm earlier
  7. Picked up my new front brakes from tez162003, nice to meet you and my car's twin 4 pot Brembo calipers with 355mm x 32mm grooved, drilled and vented discs 30cm/12" ruler at the top of the picture :| Couple of the cars together
  8. 2 girls in the car, kept overtaking each other before you pulled off onto the M4 I think your passenger liked my wheels
  9. My black tie was ruined after lending it to a friend recently. Next best option was that I thought, didn't even think about it until octet mentioned it when I arrived Everyone thought the cars were a perfect idea and exactly what Mark would have wanted
  10. Really wonderful morning, fantastic turnout for a great man. So many clearly loved him dearly and so many friends that truly respected him Graham, I'll pm you about an idea I've got later
  11. Cheers buddy It's a colour I've had on various cars, never let me down
  12. Brakes are getting changed anyway Getting a set of locking nuts in the same colour I'd rather have one!
  13. So, which colour wheel nuts do you think I should opt for? Black: or Neon Chrome: And in case you don't know what colour my wheels are:

    Wheel nuts

    Muteki seem to be well rated, plus the 17mm is perfect as I won't wreck my wheels
