Went up to the unit today. Whilst idling the cars already on EML light started flashing. It goes off when you boot it though. Any ideas ? Car is decat so obvs the light is usually on steady anyway

It’s deep. UnSatisfying

Exchange yeah. Was hoping to swap them over this weekend but the snr discs didn’t turn up in time annoyingly! I’m happy with the calipers. They look spot on

Trw rear pads have arrived Rear calipers from SSL arrived. Just waiting on the oem discs now. Should be Monday (annoyingly) These look smart though!

Yes

Luckily, my favourite tool. It rubbed on the stock shocks with Cooksports tbf and I'm not crazy low. It defo rubs more now. And on both sides. Sounds hideous when I tip in to a corner at any pace.

Going to get mine up in the air tomorrow and have a look and see if this is what is rubbing on mine. Mines rubbing like an absolute b*****d

Filled mine with lead shot the other week and it's 90% cured the rattle on mine. I can atleast not want to kill myself everytime I drive it now.

+1 for AVD.

I’m jealous of your wheels

I will get her up on the ramp soon and rotate/feel the fronts - just in case. Be a new car after this haha! Coming from a motorsport background though I prefer to preventative maintenance/over maintain things anyway. My race bike has oil after every race despite the fact it comes out pristine...

Small update. Car sailed through it's MOT but I am aware that the rear brakes aren't playing ball at the moment. Seeing as I'm already balls deep in to this project, I've ordered new calipers, SNR OEM discs, another new set of pads and a new spacer to renew the lot. I have a constant 'whiring'...

These ones?

This could be the puppies

Do we know who makes the oem discs / setup dude ? I’ve been told OE was TRW….?? I’ve read the bearing is marked SNR? I can get a few different brands but have heard some horror stories about some of them 🥴

My mates a Brembo dealer so am enquiring with him. Don’t really want a wheel falling off ideally 🥴😆

I’d read that the bearings in some (not to say the ones you’ve got) don’t last. And that Brembo has the same bearing as OEM? Not sure how true this is though. I’m replacing my rear calipers so am just biting the bullet and doing everything 🥴

https://m.autodoc.co.uk/brembo/14763434 Are they as said.. supplied complete with bearing and the rings ?

Do these definitely come with the abs ring? I know AUTODOC is a bit hit and miss. But I think I need rear discs and I can’t find any oems in stock that aren’t mental money

Clean as fook

What sort of noise did you experience out of interest? I have a constant whiring sound in mine. Which is present even when coasting and I’m wondering if it’s the tyres before I start swapping out wheel bearings

I’m really happy with them. Was unsure about the idea of coloured seats at first, but it really lifts the interior

1st coat of Satin on

few coats of primer done after a thorough clean and light scotch up.

Starting to refurb the front grille and fog surrounds. They’ve been done before by the looks but it doesn’t appear it was prepped. Eitherway, time for a refresh. Few before pics. I shall be doing these and and when I get a minute over the coming days. Will be going satin.

I’m thinking maybe 10’s upfront?. I can’t imagine the 18s are doing the handling any favours 🥴

Bit of a bump. I’ve got pms hubcebtric 18mm’s up front and the pms axle spacer kit on the rear. I am running cup turinis at present and the front is rubbing a fair bit. Especially with r/h lock. I am on bc coilovers with camber bolts at about 2.1 deg and running full castor on the top mounts...

Looks nice mind. Not 15 bags of my money. But still

As mentioned. I’ve got a few things to sort. Next up I need to sort the rear calipers / handbrake cables. They really aren’t doing much and one is more involved than the other. It is noticeable under heavy braking. I’ve still got some paint to sort. And the headlights. Somehow the light level...
