-Bradders- Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 No updates, just got back from turkey after 2 weeks out there, the updates will start soon though, first on the list new brake discs and pads all round, still need to get down to sly to see if he can take a look at the bad feedback situation on the gear stick and low oil pressure (although currently done over 1100 miles since and its still fine so can only assume its the sensor?) once im happy that its all ok and feels good to drive again, the real modding will start, first on that list will be a cobra exhaust and some decats, already got the custom Y pipe!

-Bradders- Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Sprayed my badges black does that count as an update lol? oh and i removed that numberplate recess as it was killing me, the previous owner placed the plate on it wrong, it was too far over to 1 side and my OCD was screamming!

-Bradders- Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Managed to complete one side almost last night! Wow, how i was stopping i dont know haha, i fail to see much where the pad was actually touching the disc on the inside! Anyway heres some pics, Yes i've already been told i've sinned by painting over the Brembo, but dont cry just yet, i have new white stickers to go on, i'm still yet to bleed it all so its just chucked together for now anyway old disc: new disc: braided lines fitted, old one attached as i left it overnight, didnt want anything getting in the pipe: caliper painted: prepped car with dads Etype hiding in the garage opposite mine!: assembled: done: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 as you can see in the first pic of the new disc, i realized the rotation was wrong so swapped it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthwash Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Looking good, those old discs look pretty shocking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 They look spot on, loving the comments on facebook all those haters probably don't know how to change the brakes themselves or just do spacers and a stubby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouthwash Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Can't believe people are moaning about the brembos, they're the sort that think hanging a scented tree on their rear view mirror is a modification so I wouldn't worry about them. Looks good in my opinion, I even think black cars should have had the option of red from the factory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
