lol ye i like the xxr's and i like the rota grids but which one is better hmm there is only one way to find out



lol seriously though it will all come down to funds ha and what comes up at the right time for the right price

 

I think the xxr are slightly cheaper Craig but the rota grids are everyone's fave over the two. Will need a little arch rolling for wider wheels but the look will be amazing. Can't wait for the rubbish weather to disappear so I can get mine back on lol

Martin

 

tell me about it bloody weather is topsy turvy lol

 

Craig Kevs selling his black xxr527's mate at a good price with tyres take a look at them in the for sale section

Martin

 

i know mate but they are provisonally sold lol

 

well i wont be buying any wheels this month just ordered some discs and pads all round from godspeed lol

 

Gave the car a oil and filter change today at fast japs nice one lads

 

Post man has been



Will be fitting them the weekend I had got both front and rears just didn't get them all out lol

 

Have these on mine Craig with Kevlar fast road pads and over oe they make a huge difference

Martin

 

The that's the package I've brought front and rear discs with Kevlar pads mine are shot I was hoping to wait till I got brembos but they needed changing so needs must lol

 

Should see an instant difference buddy can't fault mine and they look the part with brembos lol

Martin

 

Well today's sit rep spent 10 hours yesterday fitting the front brakes 2 pistons had seized so had to strip both calipers and replace 2 pistons and seals then today I snapped a bolt in the rear caliper broke a easy out and titanium drill bit trying to get it out so it's never coming out so now I'm on the look out for a new rear caliper so all in all a right PITA

 

Well yesterday I got a new rear caliper fitted all bled up and now my handbrake needs adjusting as the shoes and touching the disc and making a right racket doh!! Lol so will try doing that later but here is what the front looked like before




And after Deffo look better just gotta wait to sort the rear before I can start bedding them in and the calipers all need painting again lol

 

Have you thought about getting your arches rolled with your new wheels? If so, i'm thinking about it soon myself and might be able to start a group buy from arch enemy, I guess the more people the better the value.

 

well this months update is nothing exciting really had to tax it again and recieved this today cheers dazh71 whiteline 22mm rear arb with polybushes hoping this will tighten the rear a little


also brought a head unit with double din cubby and wiring loom adaptor for a bargain price of 15 quid lol so will be throwing that in the weekend so thats it for this month cheers for lookin

 

Makes a huge difference with the rear arb Craig top upgrade mate

Martin

 

cheers mate ye i heard it makes a difference especially with the solid drop links

 

well fitted the arb today was a bit puzzled about the bushes as they seemed to big for the cradle but all seems ok deffo feels more planted round the bends feel alot more confident going round corners now deffo worth while mod

old vs new


all fitted


also got my stereo fitted today no pics as its just a cheapy one lol but the sound difference is deffo noticable goes to show how pants the standard stereo is lol

 

Good work mate! i want a 22mm, what setting did you put it on? Middle?

 

Good stuff Craig

Martin

 

Ye middle mate was the easiest one to put on lmao



Cheers Mart

 

Small edition made today courtesy of matty@polepositon cheers mate were well needed as my tesco specials did my head in as they kept moving

 

Small update I've had a few bits powder coated I picked some of them up today I'm very happy with the results think it will look much fresher



Also brought a new set of bushes as I weren't happy with the fitment of the last set


That's all for now will keep updating when I fit and get more bits

 

Well fitted the arb /arb couplings and strut brace and added a little sticker that came with the bushes looks much better imo pain with the couplings though as I think the heat from the powder coating process changed the shape of them it was like they were to long so had to gently bend them back with a vice but all seems fine now just need to get the H brace on now

 

Looks great Craig real clean look now stealthy blacks the way forward under the bonnet

Martin

 

Cheers Mart I want to take more off but I don't wanna start snapping bolts lol
