  1. Thats about the best choice you could ve made!
  2. If they are that bad perhaps but usally they arent, they just stick and normally just winding them all the way in will do the trick !
  3. The rear doors on my car move and it causes the door mechamism on the B pillar to click Im going to move the door locking brakets in a bit to hold the door tighter Has anyone done this or have any tips?
  4. To re fresh the balck bumper strips use a spray can from halfors, black obviously! lol Spray it over and then wipe of the excess with a cloth, i used satin black and wiped it over with a cloth with a bit of WD40 on and it looks spot on. But i am going to get coulour coded strips and i think it makes the car look so much more modern. been tryiung to get some already painted of of a Bora, just no joy with the breakers at the moment!
  5. Had this on a mates car! Push the rubber boot down around the seal and clean the rubbish away from the piston, then geese it up and wind in all the back in with a rear caliper tool and that should do the job! The car i done had the same problem and after this has been fine
  6. Ok mate! Think want you want to! Ive made these for my car as i wanted to make a big brake kit and i knew, thought at the time i could do it cheeaper and not every kit has to have alloy bells like the Compbrake kit and Tarox kits I understand what you are saying about saftey and that was taken on board. I have a very good idea about automotive engineering! If you dont like it keep yourself to your self stay out of things YOU obviously dont understand no ones forcing you to have these brakes its not a forum requirement! lol Just let the ones that like it, like it! and the ones that dont, dont!
  7. Its not about being up to the job! its about how the car feels! You drive a 1.1 Fiesta and then jump into an Audi R8 for example and i fail anyone to be impressed with the way it stops as well as it goes! Thats like saying you dont need 400BHP as you cant use it Because you can only drive 70mph!!! If you see what im getting at? The fact of the matter is ive seen more problems with cars with the wrong pads on than putting slightly bigger discs on the rear! For example; A mate of mine while i was in Germany had an E30 M3 and he decided to fit the car with Group N pads that were designed for endurance racing and things like nurburgring 24hr! Anyway he got these pads from BMW motorsport(Turned out they were Pagid RS19's) in Munchen and then fitted them to the M3. But what he didnt realise that the brake system on the standard road car couldnt deal with the increase in friction from the race pads and it played havoc with the ABS and the bias As Group N cars run a different abs control unit! Anyway just throwing stuff together isnt the answer but if you do make something and it works you can argue with the facts and its not about driving pedal to the metal all the time, if at all its about individual taste and preference.
  8. I would really keep to myself!!!! But thanks for your input anyway
  9. Ive got another set of 312's and the 256's that came off could weigh them if anyone is interested?
  10. Now get it stage 1 remapped and your be even more chuffed with it lol
  11. Umm lol If they use the same rear brake set up as an octy, same mounting lugs! And would have to check the wheels for clearence
