  1. Just make sure you clean up the hub properly and check the run out of the disks at the largest diameter with a DTI to prevent any future DTV issues. Runout limits for front are 0.05mm or 2 thousandths of an inch. Rears are 0.07mm or just under 3 thousandths of an inch. DTV usually shows up after a few thousand miles. Apart from that it's easy. Wheels off, calipers off push pistons back can be done by hand just a bit fiddly with the 4 pots on the front. Tie caliper out of way so brake line isn't stretched. Remove disk, clean up hub. Fit new disk, measure runout with disk in all 5 positions put disk on in position with lowest run out. Bolt caliper back on wheels on job done. Disks are held on by the wheels no little grub screw to slacken.
  2. I was concerned mine wouldn't have them and I'd end up buying a box full. If I knew where my spares were you could have them but alas I've absolutely no idea since moving house! They'll be in a safe place that's so safe I have no idea where it is......
  3. Just got to a local nut and bolt specialist like Bapp or similar I got 2 for about 70p
  4. You can do it from underneath by removing the undertray but its a right pain and far easier just to pull the bumper off which is easy.
  5. Ha ha correct, sadly no prizes just the forum recognition that we are showing our ages. Or geekiness......
  6. Give that man an eyebrow, hey I'm feeling generous, give him two. (points if anyone knows where that's from lol) Yes some of the kits there and some is at mine.
  7. It's a new bumper shine amuse being transferred to the bodyshop to meet the rest of the kit so I'll give it a go and see. If it doesn't no problems I'll just have to part fit it for the journey.
  8. Agh in that case might have a play tonight if the seat out isn't needed. Thank you
  9. Like I say I didn't think it were possible so thank you you have saved me a few hours messing about. Ive already got the new bumper so the zed needs to go to the same place as the bumper and the rest of the kit therefore the van isn't an option. Had I been more organised I would have paisleyd it but not enough time now.
  10. Me too mate, up until very recently at busy times my ping was up at 200-300 which is no good for MW3 get killed quicker than that. When I looked on the web there are countless reports of high latency on virgin. After a number of months it seems they have now fixed it for me and at peak times ping is usually around 25 and at off peak times 15.
  11. Does anyone know for certain if it is possible to get a front bumper in the zed? I don't think it is but before I start removing the passenger seat to see does anyone know? Ideally I'd get someone to transport the bumper for me but it's a 600 mile round trip and surprisingly there were no volunteers.
  12. Ha ha it can drive across sand judging by the marketing pics. Very doubtful in reality lol. Always hated 4x4's especially these!
  13. Virgin is good for downloads but terrible for online gaming. The network has high latency due to their network being way over subscribed. It's taken me ages to get them to fix mine!!!
  14. Personally I'd get the zedspeed undertray the OE one is rubbish and eventually just falls apart. Suppose it depends on how long you plan to keep the car.
  15. Well I think it's pretty good. Agree the sound isn't great on most of the vocals but still think its good. The whole Olympics has been fantastic think we've done an amazing job. Just wish I could have got involved.
  16. Don't worry mate bumpers are easy to remove. Only a few clips and bolts.

    Spacers

    Bloody hell!!! One reason why I personally wouldn't use spacers. I'd much prefer to buy wheels with the correct offsets and know I'm not adding a weak point to the drivetrain. If I were to go for some though I'd only ever use ones from a trusted, good company like Eibach. Really not worth the risk. Like buying dodgy remoulded or crap brakes!
  18. lightweight pulleys should make the engine more responsive at lower revs similar to adding a lightweight fly but by no means as much of a change. They won't do anything for power or torque just aid the engine to respond to transient events.
  19. ^^^ yeah that would do the job should be pretty easy to do aswell
