Ah right, i thought you meant more bits being painted white!
It will be a proper bright fresh white.
Yeah, or I'll just make a new bracket that suits a bit better.
Gunmetal.....hmm never thought about that, but was thinking black would tie in with the carbon bits more....I dunno, I'll...
Powey, yeah I think they may be coming off. Depends on my final exhaust choice though, as might need to use the RHS one as mounting point for the bracket.
If it isnt needed for that they will be coming off, I don;t like taking pillions, makes such a difference to speed and a lot of...
Thanks.
I'll be having some subtle custom graphics made up for mine, nothing over the top but just to make it individual to me.
Got my eyes on a new exhaust as well if I can get it to fit, should hopefully look pretty good and something different. to the norm.
Just on the lookout for...
Bit more work today:
Safety first!
Stripped the rest of the front off, ready for the wheel off and the forks out. Rear wheel came off along with a few other small bits around the bike.
Loving the look of this for something to aim for. Maybe not the graphics, but liking the colour...
Lefty's suck in my opinion!
The cannondale is just a cheap 'road' bike I use for work sometimes etc, its comfy and light.
The orange Kona in the background is my abuse bike which is also in bits, need to strip it down and rebuild that, thats another winter project!
Decided to crack on with this project now.
Had my R6 Since April this year, first bike on the road at 20, been loving it :)
Since buying it I've done a full service, plugs, oil, filters, chain, sprockets, 2 new tyres, EBC brake pads, new battery and a few carbon fibre bits.
Been running sweet...
Does the rest of the unit look as though it will fit?
As Gray said, I'm pretty sure all of the MK2's have the same dimension for that part of the hub (?), never noticed any difference on any that I've lowered, are you sure they are the right set for a clio. Might be worth checking the part...
Just had a call from Meguiars, said it's out of warranty, but it's one of the dodgy batch they had, and because they can tell it hasn't been abused, they're sending out a brand spanker to me :D
Very pleased with the service.
Bear in mind an 05 plater will be coming up to Cambelt change time.
I think you'd be better looking for one with it already done, or budget on it in the price. Obviously when moving out the last thing you need is a 700 bill for car servicing!
Alternatively, cambelt on my Integra has been done...
Yes, but the centre bore on mazda is smaller I think, therefore will be hard to get it to fit and not be 100% safe, although it should be fine.
(although, the mazda bore may be larger, in which case no! Clio is 60.1mm bore)
They are expensive though mate, if you get one, make sure its had loads of new bits!
I rebushed the back end of mine, some bushes, arms and bolts was £300!
Seriously, a DC2 will be cheaper to insure, more space inside, nicer looking in my opinion, and shows that you arent gay...(even though...
I'd do 500 miles nice and steady, then get it warmed up properly and thrash it.
Proven that engines driven hard from the start make very good power compared to 'well treated' ones.
Luke, need to show you mine properly sometime, I'd go for a DC2 over the civic if you're after an old jap box to be honest.
Personally, keep the 182...
Fletcher you cant cheat by parking on a slope!
I could park my dads van upto a pile of slabs and say it's 'slammed' using that theory!
Flat surfaces only or GTFO ;)
