Re: someph-ing different...........

Any chance you could PM a price for what you got minus the basket too mate? Chucked the bikes in the back again at the weekend and the forks scratched the backs of my seats :dapprove: So need to get a rack bought!

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

i will fire one over now rich

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

fitted the ebc grooved and drilled discs and the greenstuff pads all round today, with new bearings in the rears...

also got hold of some new speakers for the front and rear, i am sure there will be some that moan that this ain't weight saving...but i don't care, until this is a second (weekend / have fun) car then things like speakers will be staying

pics tomorrow

Re: someph-ing different...........

Discs look good, i have the greenstuff pads on the rear, but i heard they are a leave alot to be desired on the front.....

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

[domjolly]

Re: someph-ing different...........

[Guppy]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Looking good Neil!

How are the front speakers?

Better than standard?

Re: someph-ing different...........

The rusty locking wheel nuts really let your wheels down IMHO.

The rest is all looking pretty mint though to be fair.

not sure, have only driven 20 miles on them...lol

Looking good Neil!

yer for sure, the treble on them is so much better, it sounds alot better all round, although i feel it needs a little bass, however i refuse to get any kind of sub

i polished them up, but very quickly they went like that, i then left them and matched the badges and engine bay too them, its kind of "a look" as some describe it

however they will be changing soon

cheers for the other kind words though

Re: someph-ing different...........

I had them speakers in front and rear on my car before last, sounding perfectly clear combined with a good alpine sub and amp, on there own id imagine they lack any punch but for clarity they're spot on

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

^^^agreed

it probably doesn't help i am running a stock headunit

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

those golfs don't have baskets hence the deflector sitting that low, it looks like they are just on the roof rails

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Re: someph-ing different...........

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

What colour nuts Neil?

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

black....was a choice of black, gold, blue or red...thought of gold but didn't think it would be close enough to the yellow already on the car

got to raise the car slightly too now,
visited our new cottage tonight, almost constant scraping on the sump guard going down the lane...lol

 

[Guppy]

Re: someph-ing different...........

FAIL

Im sure you know some Pikeys who could sort you a new drive out

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........
