no point making them bright as the standard calipers arn't much to look at. Just paint them black.

Similar to the trendlines but without the premium. Look ok to me.

lol good point.

lol

ah right. Any pics of the exhaust off the car? BTB does sound the best IMO

his budget is 200quid total for front and rear though.

Bit loud for me. As if he nearly lost the back end on a slight bend.

i believe the BTB is the best fitting. Awaiting prices for a group buy. Watch this space

the filters? you would just replace i'm guessing. Considering they are only a fiver.

careful mate, i've spent way more money than i'd care for due to DW. Running total of about 750quid i recon. Scary how much you can get sucked in. Depends how much you're going to use it all i guess. Polished bliss is very good though, great bunch of guys and good advice.

1144's are supposed to be good if they are the mintex you're getting.

i had to use a 18mm socket on mine. The metal bit that's in the boot that is. The two torx bits kept threading. Once thats out it should be easy. The seats are stuck together though, not sure how to seperate them.

just go standard pad, and HC disc then mate, nice and cheap. The ktec rear discs are much cheaper than renault just for reference and renault rear pads are around 15quid. Go to http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ for the manufactures stuff.

you'll be able to tell if you're using too much as there will be crusty white bits left behind when it cures. Try it in a little section. Leaving it for about 10 min. Swipe your finger across it. If it removes it without smearing then its ready to buff, if it smears, leave it a bit longer. I...

LOL seriously. It's a 10min job. what a joke.

Ah didn't realise you were machining it. Yeah hand application. How did you managed to get it on the pads for the machine?

I believe you can re use the ABS ring, but they're a pain to remove apparently. Bearings need to be pressed into the disc. Not sure how much that would set you back though.

Hmm, it shouldn't do that though it applied correctly. The way i tend to do it is do a panel ie. door, then leave it while you do the next panel, then go back and buff off. Make sure you don't over use (excess is waste and a pain to get off once cured), but it's hard work to see where you've...

you need the bearing so the discs rotate. You'll also need the ABS ring as your 182 has ABS.

Good point mate :o. I thought the supension remained stationary. Presumed that just the hub moved. Never really noticed when i was doing my brakes. Good to know though.

Hmmm, i use blue velvet and it beeds very well. How are you applying/how long you leaving it to cure?

Again, Ktec do some rears with bearings and ABS ring for around £100 in the members section. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f299/jonathanelwell/Random%20Car%20Pics/DSCF0677.jpg

;)

whats the wax rich? If the beeding works well, on the sides the water should beed off the car. not stick really.

its uk if you look at the 'Parking' written on the floor and the town&village sign on the cyclist pic :) CSI here i come.

looking good benji. Where you drive to?

so long as you look after it, clean it regularily then it should be ok. Garage obviously makes a big difference.

What about JAM sport? They not closer to you?

whats the point. Front tyres will be fooked in no time. Most of the power is being lost. Did look quick regardless though

You doing just the fronts? If so bearing and ABS aren't required.
