did a bit of work today tidying a few things up, repainted part of the interior, touched up the wheels, and fitted new disks/caliper carriers etc...

285mm disks now instead of 259mm, fills the wheel alot more....painted the calipers satin black also...


Old disks, 259mm....

Caliper off...

Disk off...

259mm vs 285mm...

Screwed caliper back in while painting...

Disk fitted and caliper drying...

Then did the other side, let the calipers dry and went for a drive...they feel ALOT better

You have to take the caliper itself off to do it mate or does it swing round on the arm ?

 

[f0xy]

comes off and you have to take the caliper apart to use a different carrier matey

[couzens]

ah im getting 15 inch but i ent got a clue on the tyre sizes, i want low profile and a stretched look cldnt help me out?

 

[f0xy]

depends on the width of the wheel matey

 

[couzens]

7inch or 7.5 not to sure what to go for

 

[f0xy]

depends really, 185/45 for stretch, im not sure!

 

[couzens]

ah thanks anyway matey!, btw your cars mint! lol

 

[BIFCAIDS]

take us for a mooch in it 2moz bud lol wanna see what its like inside on the move. for stretch go for a tyre thats not wide enough low pro and the right wheel size so for example your running 200/55/15 try 185/40/15 or even 175/40/15 but then your gonna be on the same level as chanderler with his Euro Paxo
