Omg ! Just found the pinned thread "BLEEDING BRAKES" right at the top answering all my questions. his did I miss that,! Please ignore or admin delete! Sorry.

Thanks for the replies, I totally understand you may not want to advise if you think i might end up killing myself or worse others. I read into it, that it was all a relatively simple process. You just need to know how? Do's and songs etc. I plan on taking on all work myself on my zed, right up to the clutch change. Ive got the garage, tools and im hoping the ability, Maybe 15-20 years ago I've changed engines on my mini, beetles, 3 x on my 205 and helped with my calibra. It Was a good time ago though! But then brakes are quite important on a high performance car hey!! I guess a dealer will tell me if I need two bottles or whether one will do. I've also found pictures of the fitted lines

Hi all, I've got some braided hoses sat waiting for me. I've had a good search and there doesn't seem to be a guide or a whole lot of info on changing them. If there isn't a how-to I will take some photos on the way and do one. Could I please ask: Will I need 2 bottles of fluid? Has anyone got any photos of them fitted? Can I do the bleeding with the front lifted and then the rear? Or does it need to be flat? Does it matter if I mix original fluid with motul ? Just topping it up? If I'm using motul Rbf, how will I know when my old fluid it gone and I'm using new? Do I drain it all first? Can fluid collected in the bleeding go back in the reservoir? Thank you!

PM sent... Why not add it to my pile of un-fitted parts!!!!

UK 2006 pre facelift. Thank you

Hi, Ive been given the chance to install an Oem satnav kit but I would need a new cubby hole. Part number: f8260cd800 If they are as rare as rocking horse poo and cost the earth I will knock it on the head and get a double din stereo with sat nav instead... Anyone got one floating about please.? Thanks in advance!!!!

Hi Mike, Just been looking at some pictures of your car. If these are fitted on your car in the photos they do look very good. I was going to buy some springs only next month as my shocks are relatively new. I was looking at Apex or tein on EBay for £105 and £150. do you please know the difference with eibach springs to make them double the price.? Also.. I'm guessing you wouldn't sell them without the shockers as it would be a right pain in the rear!!! Thanks Tim

Do you mean these? Cheap on ebay. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=321208490041

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281166774189 Big job to swap out? Engine out?

Well the TV broke today and its raining really hard.. So with Wazzos advice I went back to it.. Even better I found these in the shed. Im on hour 4 now and I think I've got the majority of the pitting from the flat areas. The drill bearings might be knackered and I can hardly clench my hand with the vibrations but I think I'm getting somewhere!!

Thanks buddy, but won't both items be stainless steel? = no rusty?

Thanks Wasso, had another 30min go with the p60.. I'm no way near your top picture. I think before I buy the polisher I will try the drill flaps. My plan was to do my spare, swap it, then polish my original and sell. But I think I will be lucky to do the first step.

I've been looking at the JapSpeed. They have weld spots / dots around the flexihose welds. Also has a logo. This one doesn't. The only one I can find that looks exactly like it is a stupidly overpriced one on eBay for about 1k!! http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=390514890458

None... Just cringe when I walk past it now. Saw this on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=300922552013 Seems to tick some of the items on your checklist!

oh god don't say that mate!!! Surely it has to fit doesn't it? they all come out of the same factory. Would you try and fit it yourself or take it to somewhere that can easily fit it or MAKE IT FIT if it doesn't?? here is where I hear of all the extra money needed lol

hey willie, I got a scorpion back box for that £200 too. The y-pipe I kind of counted as a bonus! thanks for the replies all, I guess im hoping it ISNT a japspeed now hehe cant find any y-pipes like it on google images with that triangle shaped support bracket. I wonder what it is? The thing is, I don't even need a new bloomin exhaust!!!

Bit of an impulse buy today.... Bought a used scorpion back system and a y-pipe that looks like maybe a JapSpeed unit? I will spend a good while polishing it back to full beauty Do you think £200 is a fair price for these two guys? Is there anything I should be looking out for or wary of? Cant stop buying things for the Zed....

Anyone know what make this y pipe is please?

If I was closer and they didn't soon need tyres soon I would jump on it. Good luck Scott. They look so good!!

So tempted....

Thank you.... So what's your address to send it to you again ?? Cost of drill attachments, sandpaper, wet and dry, bench polisher with mops... On top of that my time. Probably a bad move to do it myself Might give it another try at the weekend!!

Now all sorted. Many thanks ZmanAlex, it arrived today.

Well.... Plenum arrived today thanks "ZmanAlex" !!! Polished it for about an hour with P60 Dry Sand paper...... not sure I will be able to see it through to the end... What ive found... Its loads messier than I thought Its loads harder on the fingers than I thought It takes a lot longer than I thought!! Ive spent an hour on half of it and about 20min on one small area. On this small area as a test I used P60 then moved on to P120 wet and dry. I just cant get down past the pitting. I think I need some tools on this. Will borrow a "Mouse" sander tomorrow and have another blast. As it came: 1Hour

Hi, I would be Interested in the front splitter if it is a genuine nismo and fits a pre facelift.? Thanks

If the gear surround is mint I'd love to buy it Mike! I scratched mine doing the Bose hack in the dark!
