I Fitted the Brembo HC discs and DS2500 pads today, followed the guide over in the guide section, was spot on!

lucky i had a dremel handy for the filing of the ds2500 ends




Braided Hoses and Brake Fluid to follow soon and i may think about painting the calipers, but need to look at some examples of colour schemes

So are the brakes bedded in yet?
Lighter wheels, better brakes, stiffer springs...

Better response over stock!

as per ferodo instructions, 25-30 half pressure 4 second brake trials.

although finding a quiet road around Manchester without attracting attention is bleeding hard! wanted to do the hard 60mph to 15mph braking x6 but again i dont know any quiet roads.

did my best and will take it easy for a a while.

fitted the above speakers today, had to take the dash off to fit the tweeters and whilst i had the dash off i installed my new head unit:

Pioneer DEH-3200UB


im no audiophile, i just wanted it for usb and aux input and also bought a connects2 stalk remote adapter from MT Audio on here (thanks mate)

all fitted and works a treat, a defo improvement over the stock head unit for sure - pics tomorrow!

Also HEL Braided lines fitted along with a brake fluid change (ATE blue) making the brakes perfect me thinks!

whilst at the garage i had a decat fitted and throttle response has improved and the noise is just lush! - would recommend this to anyone!

Now the hose pipe ban has been lifted i can wash the car properly, so ill make time over the next few days..
