I'm almost tempted to buy some brand new ones and sell the 2118s on as they seem to have a high used resale price! Might be cheaper than me getting them refurbed... I would have to factor in tyre removal and refitment.
I'd just go anthracite again I think!
I had to laugh when I noticed it...
Live and learn! I'm happy to say when something goes wrong or I do something stupid if it saves someone else doing the same as me in the future.
Appreciate the kind words mate! Really want a wheel refurb as one of the 2118s has a slight pink twinge to It, proper odd.
I like my milltek but it's not quiet. Drones at 70-80 but it can be fairly quiet when it needs to be. I'll try get a video as some point.
Just had the rear backbox brace rewelded on mine as it had cracked but I think that was down to knackered rear bushes
Sooooo. On tidying my DA away I just realised I've been using it on setting 1 all this time. 😂
I've used a rotary with speed settings before but just presumed the DA was constant. Hahaha 😂😂
No wonder it took me forever... going to buy some decent pads and try...
I've no idea which ones I have! My mum got this as a package with the compounds and da from cleanyourcar. Had orange, blue and yellow foam pads. Do you have a link to the best ones for cutting?
Took the trip over to Keltec today to get a quote on removing my manifold flange and getting a vband and flexi welded in but they were pretty expensive so I didn't bother in the end. I just got them to buzz up the backbox brace as I had noticed when doing the polybushes that the welds had...
To be honest, it's not that overbearing! It's fairly hard, but I think that's probably down to solid engine mounts/topmounts and bilsteins rather than all the bushes being black series.
Think people have tried this before with little success. Appreciate it if you try though mate!
Got my evol mount today that I'll fit this weekend
Also some clips to go into my grill
I mean the surround part is tacky plastic. The top dash centre part if that makes sense haha. I'm not fussed it's not really a big panel so not too scratched
Popped over to see @bloke last weekend to have some black series steering rack and rear beam bushes fitted to complete the Polybush package throughout the car.
It's something I wouldn't have wanted to attempt on the floor due to access and it being a pain in the arse! Thankfully all went well...
