Cheers mate that worked a treat, all sorted now. Although somehow i've lost one of my spanners. :dapprove:

I just put the rubber end of a claw hammer in the piston and smashed f*ck out of it with a silicon hammer, ​didn't budge a single mm, I think it's safe to say it seized.

No don't have any of those, ​tbh I think it's seized as I nearly pushed the car off the jack with the amount of force I was putting in to it.

Nope, that isn't budging for sh*t and I was proper Mumm-Ra'ing it.

Tabs?

Well I just undid the brake fluid cap, put the old pad over the piston, whacked f*ck out of it with a silicon hammer and it didn't budge a mm, looks like i'll have to put the death trap pads back in and go back down Halfords tomorrow to buy a G-clamp.

That's me screwed then. I've got mole grips.

Do I definitely need a G-clamp to get the piston back in the caliper because I don't have one, is there any other way of doing it, like putting the old brake pad on it and hitting it with a hammer?

I think you must have miss heard him, the ARB is just a metal bar and some rubber bushes that's bolted to the subframe with brackets, ​there's nothing to leak out.

I destroyed my Brembo pads in the first session, they went from a high bite point to the pedal being on the floor within 15 minutes. I just drove all the way home without touching the brakes until I was in Coventry city centre, the pedal does nothing now. lol ​So in short Brembo pads suck balls.

Yes i'd say you'd need an upgrade, my old map had 6400 at the beginning, the newer ones i've been using for a couple of years have 6500 at the beginning.

Someone in a Cup obviously destroyed him at a traffic light GP, so now he want's one so he can be the man. Well until someone in a Focus ST lines up next to him, then he'll want to swap his Cup for a Focus that's worth 5 times the money.

I can't wait to see this thing finished.

I'd settle for an electrical system that isn't haunted tbqfh, although a hyperspace drive would be easier to make.

So is this thread about what mods would you like that haven't been invented yet? Surely everything you can do to a car performance wise already exists?

Some amazing cars there. For some reason I like these two far more than I should. ​

Terrible thing to live with jealousy, you Daniel and Ron should start a help group.

Where are you in the country? There may be a specialist near you that'll be cheaper than Renault to look at or fix your car.

Your mates Cossie is f*cking amazing!

Going over to the states and doing the Hot Rod power tour in a Vauxhall Viva van, made him a legend in my book, i'd love to meet him he's cool as f*ck.

Made sure my new crash helmet doesn't hit the roof lining when i'm wearing it......it doesn't, although I look like a giant retarded microphone.

The traders section alone is worth the money, not only can you buy new parts cheaper than almost anywhere else, but you have access to countless professional garages around the country. One of the worse things about owning a car is having to find a decent garage that won't rip you off or f*ck...

​Get out!!!!

How are you emailing him, through the Fastchip website?

Which one are you, the blondie on the bonnet posing like a little girl?

If he's not responding to your emails then he's probably on holiday or something, every time i've emailed him he's responded within a week and i've been using his products for years. ​I'm afraid it's email or nothing with him.

That's mint, you don't see many of those on the roads these days.

Wow, that's cool.

That pub looks like it belongs in a Harry potter film. Nice car btw mate, I look forward to destroying it at the Pod in October.

What a great work van, just need you company name on the side panels now.
