Re: someph-ing different...........
The car just looks fantastic. Brakes are brakes really. if they stop you better than the old ones then there a winner. They will look good when they'er on. EBC green stuff are a bit poo on the track tho.
I also decided to have Yellow Calipers and my mates...
Nope but i will tomorrow now youve reminded me :P you got those H&Rs on yet ?
I fitted the H&R's last saturday in the pi**ing rain, took me like 5 hours. But i was off to Bristol saturday night for a week. So as soon as i fitted them my mate came round to pick me up so i only got to drive it...
Well i saved loads of money from when i was 17 and kept saving as my parents said they would double what i saved. So i kept saving as the more i saved the better/faster car i would get. Eventually i saved so much money that my parents said "well you'v got enough money so why dont you buy your...
Yep centre silencer removed, de-cat, and the exhaust. It tested 93.9 db at 4,500rpm which isnt too bad.
Not everyone likes K-tec's exhaust, but i love it. I'l do a video of what it sounds like at some point. Theres a 2 vid's on youtube of what it sound like from inside when i was at abindon...
Yes it's the K-tec Ultra Exhaust, I think it sounds really good. Really really loud tho tho. I drive it every day to work and luckly for my ears it's 50mph speed limit all the way so its not too bad.
Its a bad picture really. It's been fitted very well. It's just a tiny bit over to the right...
My Exhaust is sat slightly to the right, and after my blast round Abingdon airfield it's melted the sh*t out of one of the bumper exhaust surrounds.
I'm not really sure on what to search for, but basically i want to know if people have put some padding in the brackets to push it over the other...
Errrrrrr, My light is on with my De-cat. A few other people that have them in also have the lights on. I think it can be hit of miss with the light coming on or not.
My m8 has been saving his pennies for ages to buy one. He keeps going to the dealerships to see if they are taking orders yet! Soon as the dealerships take orders he'l be right down there.
I think the new RS will look better in the flesh.
Hmmmmm i wouldnt trust anyone else to wash my car.
Saw a guy in Tesco's car park washing one of them newish Jags. Muddy as hell and the guy was using some black water and was washing the mud from behind the front wheels straigh onto the bonnet :S
Scratchy Scratchy
God knows mate.
It could have just been one of them things. Strange for it to "go wrong"
or
The aston martin garage thought "hmmmm we'l say they nackered, customer buys new ones and we recon the old ones and sell them on"
My dad said to the garage that i wanted them to make some sort of...
I looked on ebay could only find DB6 calipers and they were like £600. Suppose they are harder to come by been an older car.
So i may just put them for sale for £900 and see if anyone wants them.
Lol the very first picture is deceving, they dont look that big on there own, but when you put them inside a wheel they look huge.
I'l have a look on Ebay, if i get over £500 i'd be happy.
:)
I'm pretty sure the brakes will not fit, now i'v had a little think about it.
The wheels on the Aston are 19"
The wheels on the clio are 16" (Also have 15" track wheels)
It was a nice thought but it looks like i'l just sell them, if i get a fairly good price then i may buy some 4 Pots that...
Oooooo that is quite tempting, I'l like some bucket seats too, may buy them if i sell the 4 pots.
But for now i'l keep them, when i fit my H&R's this week i'l see if the Aston brakes fit in my wheel. lol
£1000 for two calipers :dapprove:
Disks are warped 2, but we'r off to Le Mans, auto bahns and finally The ring next year. So i said might as well replace them after that.
oooops didnt mean to post that, yeah i wasnt sure if you could do that, does anyone know where i could get it done, and a rough cost?
The aston garage said they were rusted, so me old man had to get some new ones, so i said if they are nackered then i'l have the old ones. :)
I have just been given a set of these Brembo 4 Pots, Apprently they have rust on the other side of the pistons so they could not fully retract and the pad was allways on the disk.
I'm thinking that i may use this as my final year project at uni to get them to fit on my 182, lol.
They will...
I also went to powerstation that day.
I bought the H&R's off Rob, I was pretty jelous of him for getting the AST's they really do look mint. There was some seriously nice looking motors in the workshop.
Here are a few pics that i took from saturday.
