Right another lovely weekend and I cant help myself but play with my car. After a quick wash I stepped back and I decided my calipers needed painting...




I know some people do not like red calipers as they look like there trying to be Brembos, but at least now when I do get some one day I wont have to redo my rears.
Quick clean and on with the first coat.




Next coat



And them completed.




Also had my MOT this week and it passed with 2 advisories:
New gaiter on the offside drive-shaft
And rear lower bushes need changing

Hmmm... Theres a good question. Not too sure as I borrowed it off my mate, because i'm cheap; another reason why I went for red.
The pot says E-Tech Engineering, the colour is Post Office Red. It came with brake cleaner in a kit.

still prefer silver but i like how the calipers seem to make the wheel stand out. they dont look so black anymore. nice work with the pillar trim too. i was going to have mine painted china when it was in the shop last but decided on some new trim as well. freshens the exterior up i think.

depends what wheels you want matey. if your not fussed with cyclones you've got endless possibles. but i went with wilwoods so i can have what i like and have cyclones. if you can hang on until an upcoming meet you can try mine out to see if you like them?

Those dials look good I am getting a little annoyed that the white dials look more yellowish too

Just Drive It

Well what a lovely day today, not! It managed to stop raining for a couple of hours so I could get out there and change my rear pads and discs. So this is only a maintenance update but as I 'uprated' them I thought I would add this in, also it was an advisory from my MOT two months ago

Generally speaking my mechanical knowledge ends at putting petrol in so I am quite pleased with changing them today I think successfully.

Right I opted for a set of grooved EBC discs and a set of Greenstuff pads. After they turned up I searched on here and realised that none of you like grooved discs, but I thought they looked good and i've paid for them now so they going to have to stay.

So this was the old withered ones





And my nice shiny new ones.





Just want to say a big thanks to Welly and his FAQ on this matter as I could not have done it with out you, HAHA. Took more like Two hours though as everything was rusted and I had never done them before

Quick question... Now the handbrake seems to raise more than normal, but the breaking seems to be a lot better. Well they were metal on metal before. So could this handbrake thing be right or have I done something wrong?

Busy weekend again, spent the Saturday in the sun working very hard. Making tea really knackers you... Want to say a big thanks for helping me Royston (Greenbelt) could not have done it without you mate Did the cv boot fianlly, so thats the advisories from the MOT sorted. Them clips were an absolute nightmare and so much for only taking an hour While this was being done Royston notice the ball joint was a bit worst for wear, so thats another job to add to the list. Never ending with these cars.

The hole

New one fitted


And as the weather was nice I thought a full wash and wax was in order
