lol.... see if you can get one giles! ... if not.. e e e ebayyyyyyyyyyy lol

yeah, gettin the 16v spoiler this week too :)

yes mate, i believe they are bigger discs, mine is currently running standard brakes.... new discs and uprated pads but it stop so much smoother and better, they were spongy at first, still are a bit now but will need burning in after a good few hundred miles. im thinking about getting 16v...

lol... cant beat it being lower, ben, i didnt half t**t the speed bump coming in to work before, very loud clunk, going to get my dogbone mount and auxy belt sorted, going to order them now. also get the brakes bled and that dodgy indicator sorted :) get loow!

looks mint.... i want them turbines! :)

yeah sticking to 13's though, mmmm black renny 5 GT 13's yumyum! :) should go even lower too with some lower profile tyre on!

all sorted now, very very smooth braking, got some halfrauds discs and ferodo pads, sooo smooth all the noise has gone, thanks to biff for sorting it! :) you should have seen the state of the pads, one was angled due to un even wear and also was braking in the actual metal back housing plate...

haha... i offered a bacon butty... and you refused! lol anyhow... you git a pint and fresh orange all day ;) lol

aye ad, i am too, didnt stop today unlike you haha oj.... cheers!:D

well, it depends tim lad, i want to get all the other bits and bobs sorted first like, needs a new auxillary belt, dogbone mount and new green/itg panel filter.... after that i can then get wheels and zaust etc :) it is holding out strong though, it feels much more stable and tight with the...

yup he has i think lol

it looks w**k in the pics to be fair, sooo much better in real life, when the rims are on will be better :) aye tim, how much you lowering it by?

well, got my car just about 2 week ago now... finally got round to lowering it yesterday (-60mm apex) .... all the hard work done by biffons bridge (see pic) and i pranced around acting like i knew what to do ;) lol Shocking the size difference of the uncompressed springs against each other...

i have a 1.4 8v in my rt also, mines a 94.... will easy get 30 miles out of the tank when on red and that is with some ragging... my gauge is fooked seems like everyone elses is, if i drove normally and slow (which i dont tend to do) i reckon 100 miles to a tenner is easily reachable.... going...

ok i will see if scott has one, he will probs have the big socket too aswell as the jack, will ring him ina min

it is odd, really cant understand what it might be... dont think it will be bearings, im still going with something being stuck or in there rubbing as that what it sounds like to me! you will have to drive it later ad to see what you think

do i need to purchase one on the way home from college biff?

well done biff, nice to see we are getting this organised ;)

nowp, more when just braking... i thought it may be rubbing, but checked and cant see anything... will check the calipers and remove them later to see what i find... :)

i dont think they need bleeding, what would this do? lol

yeah should be ok, anyone got any ideas on the brakesm doing my head in the scraping! :( lol

well, the guy who i had bought it off on here had it lowered before me, and i took the cap off as it is a closed torsion bar and saw plenty of grease on them!.... shouldnt be too bad, as he only took the springs off a few weeks before selling the car :)

im in college up until about 4 giles, then ad is helping me do the torsion bar, its going to be a fookin b**ch i know it! :(

definately fronts, can hear it with windows down mate.... makes a horrid noise and you can feel in vibrate in the car, though pedals etc... it even makes a slight rubbing noise when driving normally, just dont know what it might be! - Giles - It aint lowered enough yet ;)

ok... well i lowered my car yesterday with the help of Biffons_Bridge (cars a 1.4rt), lowered it -60mm on front and finishing the torsion bar today.... Right, under braking i get a quite loud scraping/grinding noise, sounds like 2 things rubbing together, maybe a stone in the caliper or...

lol @ MATT, sickoooooo ;)

.... eek, did you get it HPI checked fella?

yeah i suppose, will probs get one to see! :D
