You're doing the right thing mate. Loads of people out there will tell you they or their mate has XYZ wheels on. Then negate to say they have spacers, ground calipers, machined bracket etc etc. Also worth asking those who you know are running the Wilwood kit. Brigsy is as is Thomas Brentnal...

Okay so you already have a component set. These are made up of a 5.25” mid driver in the doors and a set of tweeters in the dash. Coaxials are a combined mid driver and tweeter in one speaker. I’m saying either fit a whole new component set including new tweeters in the dash or just buy some...

Yes they will still work, however depending on how the stock system is setup will alter how they perform. If the OEM signal frequencies are split at the speakers then your Coaxials will perform as intended. If the frequencies are split at the head unit then your coaxials will only be receive mid...

How much do you wanna spend? I upgraded everything in the Clio to Focal and did quite a bit of sound deadening. I opted not to spend anymore as there's a limit to how good they're going to sound ion the stock locations in a 17 year old French tin box. Mine are driven by an Alpine HU and Focal...

Winter wheels have landed in the shape of another set of @evocorsewheels X3MA, this time in bright silver. Hopefully get some ceramic coat and rubber on these this week and get em on. 🙂

I've had a BTM, Orbisoud and now a PMS. I'd choose the PMS all day every day for fit, finish, sound and price.

It’s all of the things you mentioned. Those Evol solid dogbones are shite. Anything solid like that will have zero “give” in it at all. Add to that the stiff engine mounts, and cheap dampers. All that NVH will be coming straight into the cabin. Personally if it’s just staying on road I’d fit...

Bloody tempted!! My first car was a white/grey 2 tone 1.4SR phase 1.

Great updates as always mate. You’ve been a busy boy on the old girl. Still looks great. 👌🏼

Standard spring washers will be fine, just make sure your gasket faces are clean, free of any grease/contaminants and are flat. :)

Wouldn’t bother with a V band unless you’re 100% set on having that exhaust and you’re happy with it. VHT silicone is more than adequate and all the BTM exhausts are like it. Mine wore a BTM for years with just VHT silicone between the flanges. If you fit it and you love it, get a V band added...

Will be quieter due to the turbo anyway. 🙂

Or just buy some 15” wheels that fit. 😂

Ah right, that explains it. The PMS kit is designed to accommodate their 285mm x 26mm 2 piece kit and with that on the TD 1.2s won’t even go near without a substantial spacer. Spacers make my car drive like s**t so wasn’t prepared to entertain that or start grinding brand new calipers. Lol So...

I bought a set when my Brembos went on and Alex at AWM went to offer them up to my car. With the PMS 285x26 kit they wouldn’t go near. Wanted minimum of a 15mm spacer.

We’ll certainly not the ones I tried. You need a stupid massive spacer. 😕

Do the LTs fit over Brembos?

The solution always looks so simple and straightforward. The route getting there is often far from straight however. Great job fella. Instal looks clean. 🙂

Remember guys, if you want a set of these wheels at a discount you have till close of business today to place your order! 🙂

Ha, thats brilliant. Couldnt have come at a better time when youre trying to improve heat management. Pukka bit of kit :)

I'd read about Camcoat but not seen their work personally. I had my up/downpipes built in inconel and had them coated by Zircotec, which at the time was pretty state of the art. Ive seen the Thermomet stuff and its beautiful, but as you say, bloody expensive. Your other trick to use is double...

If you haven't already i can highly recommend getting blankets for both the turbocharger and the pair of gates, Zircotec coating, heat shielding and Nomex/Firesleeve covering fluid lines is pretty much the only way to do it properly. 99% of any turbocharged build is proper heat management, im...

Right wheels!!! I’ve managed to hopefully make this much simpler for all, @Brigsy @Iranian Pudding Anyone wanting a set can call up Russ at Motorsport Tools and mention my name and get 5% off a set of X3MAs and half price delivery delivered to your door. The catch… It’s only a valid offer...

🫣

Right so I’ve got back from MST and the most they can offer me is 5%. Which isn’t a great deal, but if I’m buying them any way, money off is money off. As it stands; MST are £681 a set (£720 delivered) Ktec are £703 a set plus delivery Rally nuts are £942 a set plus delivery With 5% off from...

Yes good bite from cold and work well. They don’t have that ultimate hard stopping that the metallic pads do as you say they’re an endurance compound, but they don’t destroy wheels and are very linear in use. Shame you’re not local mate as you would be more than welcome to try mine for feel...

I’m using Pagid RS2 now as they’re organic so you don’t get the wear and metallic fallout from the carbon metallic pads. Massive bite, constant feel and low wear. The down side is the cost at near £300 a set but if offset that with the fact I’m not buying them as often. They’re silent all the...

@Brigsy Isn’t the pad area smaller on the Wilwoods compared to the Brembo? Also do you get the same pad options with the Wilwood as I always imagined they would be quite limited?

Drop me a PM or easier if you DM me on Instagram mate. Happy to help if I can. Cant help much with your mrs though, you’re on your own there. 😅

Not much to update, but i decided on the weekend to sell my Turinis. Took some pics, put them up for sale and less than 24 hours later they had been paid for and gone. (GULP - what have I done!???) I’m pretty much set on another set of X3MAs as there really isn’t anything else that fits or...
