Old vs new and aftermarket vs oem which is probably making them look different. Could try machine polishing the original to make it pop, or replace that so you have a matching pair.
That is a strange one. Spacer behind bearing should not make a difference as the pad thickness sits the caliper in place parallel to the disc.
Have the wheels definitely been used on a clio before? If yes, at a wild guess the rear pads were quite worn so caliper was closer to the disc giving...
Cheers mate. Collar me on the day so i dont forget 😘
Cheers mate, its slowly getting there. Got a few more bits planned but can wait for now until winter.
Cheers mate. Adey's twingo is class, i cant wait to see what it goes like. It was a riot when i took it out at the last CS festival with...
Fitted a nimbus heatshield to the upper scuttle yesterday. It had a crappy bit of carpet sound deadening fitted originally which was looking ropey so took it off when i first done the conversion. Thought it was worthwhile fitting something right above the turbo to reflect some radiant heat...
Updates
CSF prep almost done
New brembo hc front discs fitted, ferodo ds1.11 front pads, system fully flushed with motul rbf 600 fluid.
Discs come pre painted on the bits that rust in anthricite and look well.
Pressure bled brakes in sequence and the pedal went a bit long for some bizarre...
Even though the selector seal is quite drippy it wont lose much. My old Kangoo was the same, when i topped it up occasionally it took hardly nothing, just monitor it and if it ends up being a gusher time to fix
That leaks a pisser on the gearbox end cap, they sometimes go pourous with rust, still available new from ren iirc.
That sawcut in splitter was making my ocd go wild :LOL: looks so much better cut to length
Cheers all. I got the wheel bags from rofag via ebay a couple of years back, they were reasonably priced at the time but cant see them for sale anymore. Generic wheel bags that look similar are dirt cheap though £5-10 a set.
Long time no update.
Still not done much and a list of bits to do before CS festival, thought id better make a start now back from hols.
Started with a trial fit of the Technomagnesio champion 201B wheels wearing 235/40/18 Yokohama A048 Medium hard compound semis. Got these refurbed a couple...
My old asbo spec single silencer system on my old kangoo which was 102db on static never got pulled at Blyton so wouldnt worry too much unless its really loud, unsilenced or whatever.
He had 97 sainsburys super unleaded in when it had all the issues with knock not 95. I guess it was closer to 95 though, and yes the mind does boggle that he was using the cheap s**t as it had been mapped on vpower.
Indeed, i dare say Bmw have tested it well on 95 octane on stock map and the ecu will pull timing/adapt to suit over a period of running, but id still be wary of absolute hard use on 95 as the engines arent cheap.
My mate said on that particular day his 140 felt a bit flat but still seemed to...
Id be careful using 95 in the m140i if mapped. My mate had a bad batch of fuel (sainsburys super unleaded as he was being tight) and the engine was pulling so much timing on the dyno as previously mapped on vpower and was very unhappy. The tuner said it would have went bang in no time if it had...
Im not 100% on the immobiliser problems, but have had success leaving the ign on for a while in the past. Download the workshop manual all the info is in there and will point you in the right direction of what to look at.
