Thanks Doug :)
Rob yeah I reckon so, I still have the nut in at the back, and the fronts have miles lower to go!
Dan, yeah I do want ITB's but doubt I could afford them!
Worth a try, not expecting it back but for the sake of a few emails I''ll give it a go.
DRRollo I did know about the postage obviously, but it was so blatently a lot cheaper, i would have paid more for the discs if the bidding went higher, thats the risks of ebay not putting a BIN on or...
The isofix is only in at the minute as I've got decat, brake discs, fluid and some other buts in the boot which the net doesnt hold down too well, so just trying to minimise the risk of them flying forwards in a heavy braking situation a bit more.
It will be removed once everything is fitted.
I recently bought an item (new front discs) and the item ad said £25 postage on it. I questioned this before bidding asking why it was so much, along with another question. The second question was answered but the postage one was ignored, but because they were so cheap I just bidded and won...
^ not cheap enough for me though mate, i'm pretty skint and killing my finger means no weekend work for about 5-6 weeks so thats hitting my pocket pretty badly at the minute :(
I love the wheels, need to do a proper refurb job on them at some point though.
Thanks.
I'm thinking about std bump strips (uncolourcoded) some smoothed dark bullets and some matt black mirror covers....
Got my bargain discs delivered just, brand new brembo max's, £48 delivered :D
Thanks for the replies :)
Weight saved:
Stripping 33kgs
Wheels 24kgs
H&R's 3kgs
So this puts the bhp/ton at around 174.75, improved from 167 according to parkers weight of 1090kgs.
Edit, cage MIGHT be on the cards, but only if a cheap MSV one comes up or something, also not sure how insurance would take a rolls...
My 182 :D
Mods so far:
H&R's at -ve 2.5
Enkei lightweight 15's + yoko paradas
Painted calipers
EBC redstuff pads
Stripped rear
Rear strutbrace
Silvervisions
CTR aerial
307 front splitter
Bits to be fitted when I get to Birchdown:
Ktec decat
Ktec braided lines
AP racing fluid
Brembo Max...
The difference you have now between standard and fitting them but not set up, multiply that by around 4.63914 million, and that's how much better it is!
Seriously though, worlds apart.
My mate has an AE86, its awesome and is pretty quick (16v one)
BUT, the soarer is the ultimate car for amazingness. I reckon after your 200 you'll be annoyed at how 'slow' they are, the Soarer rules!
The car has:
H&R's
Lightweight 15's
Stripped out
Rear strut brace (does nothign but for looks)
EBC redstuffs
KTR braided hoses
AP racing fluid
Will have Brembo HC Max's after i kill the standards on my first trackday
Ktec Decat
Camber was done with a digital protractor, but only because he managed to nick one from work, he normally does it through trig.
Pics will be up at some point, car will be finished as of friday so maybe then!
Rich - Seems fine apart from a bit of tramlining on the motorway, normal day to day...
It seems a 'simple' job once you know what to do, he talked me through a bit of it, and to be honest the hardest part is setting the box equal around the car, then it's just using Trig to set the angles etc all in.
But a lot of garages don't deal with this stuff day to day so I could understand...
Friend of a friend ;)
I 'think' most places charge for 3 hours labour to do this job if you fit them yourself, he did it in about 1 hour 20 to have it done completely, using only a jack etc with going up and down to check measurements, on ramps it would probably have been an hour dead.
