@bloke Do you have any recommendations for something to strip the outer layer off the lines for the flare? I used stanley but its not great

I have an sgs low entry jack and its performance reflects its price tbf, does the job but is a bit sketchy half the time

I went for that type (powerhand) in the metric din size https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAKE-PIPE-FLARING-TOOL-4-75mm-DIN-BUBBLE-ON-CAR-FLARE-BY-POWERHAND-PH-BFT-475/182680168196?hash=item2a88962704:g:gbAAAOSw~gRV3Cdn Really easy to use and is doing well so far

@Greeny. Perhaps have a look at the mid range ones? DTW285 claims 400 busting torque which I think is probably good to at least have :)

Rears were well over due, I have other plans for the fronts so bought these separately 300lb springs, have been working on the roads okay, it doesnt actually feel vastly different than stock over slight bumps and that, but full stiff will send you flying about in your seat. Dont know how to...

I have 5mm line to flare, I was looking at something like this, will it be the right size? Also its aluminum tube https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brake-Pipe-Flaring-Tool-Trident-T413701-3-16-316/151035636166?epid=4017004564&hash=item232a6ce9c6:g:emwAAOSwll1Wwa6O @Tomotek hope you dont mind me asking...

Ive been looking at the road more since the speedo stopped working, as long as you know what rev/gear is what speed then its fine just learn what tone the exhaust is as well so no need to look at the clocks at all

Cars now booked in with two techs in dartford so hopefully all will be sorted!

so you can hook an rs tuner pops and bangz and BRAAAAPapp opopopo pop blrapropo poppa boar braaaa opopop p opoopo po po pop pop Other than that above summed it up

Completely agree with you @Chris_Beer I would happily spend the money if I had the money in the first place, Im stressed and just want to get things through. I wouldnt bodge things that I knew were a threat to safety or to hide problems that could catch up at a later date :up:

@bloke Would 172 cup clocks work? Just an idea

:up: I think ill pop it in for now, mots next thursday 😞

@dann2707 I wont work without it now haha. Jacked up the car one time and starting taking wheel bolts off and realised the battery was nearly dead so just waited until it was charged and went back out

The socket wrench adapters really are handy

Was just thinking if theres any cheap fault code readers that would work fine? Or I could plug it into my laptop with the right cable?

Like a diag tool? dont have anything to do so, I could pop down to the garage, was just trying to save some money

They were off ebay, think it was someone from here though. This is with oem pads, the ds1.11 arent as bad but have had to plod about recently so switched them Thanks George, Ill definitely be in touch soon!

Am gonna solder the abs/esp/eml/serv lights to run off others, just the handbrake and stop light

4 pot calipers, from the clio 197/megane 225. Definitely look at some good rubber, regardless if its a 1.6 it will make a difference and be safer, I remember getting the back end out on mine sometimes purely down to crap tyres!

@1600.clio Just suggesting an upgrade. I had a 1.6 and they're fun, but even now on my 182 Ive realised ive done things in the wrong order or wasted money, I went for 4 pots before I even had springs etc, now got springs am getting coil overs.. Should of just got good tyres, coil overs and...

@bloke Is there anything that can be done that will get it through? A Clip?

@bloke I take it that the light turns off when the little metal clip stops touching the metal? If so its not that :/ Rear callipers have been seizing a bit recently, is temperamental but could it be that?

That looks like a sick setup, what coilovers are you running? Id have to take it to a machine shop, all depends on the price These ones? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-AVENSIS-MK2-T25-4X100-09-9817-11-Front-Brake-Discs-295mm-Vented-by-Brembo-/222726723648?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c10

@Coops Mk1 :confused: it seems like more work than just going to 280mm... Will be able to run 15's though so probably best and cheaper discs/tyres..

I run brembos for 300mm discs but theres a huge outer ring that the pads not touching, I just switched over some ds1.11 to oem pads and the oem pads are even worse and touching the inner part of the disc. I had in mind to get some 295 discs and they will probably be right but possibly had the...

Any reason for not going for other ones?

no mate its just reflecting the dirt particles in the air

@bloke Yeah I did, Im gonna have another look in a bit because I had osteopath yesterday and want to at least keep the relief for another couple days rather than just f**k my body up now
