    Little update...My car looks bit different now. We went to Poland end of August for two weeks holiday. As I have already mentioned I discovered that lacquer is peeling on my Furby. I did try to speak

    My car was tested on the track today...my handling mods were well worth it. I absolutely loved every minute I spent on the track. Now I'm off to find some track wheels and tyres, new Turbo, New FMIC

    Pictures of the car as promised but please bear in mind that I hadn't had a chance to clean it yet as I only got back yesterday... :p   How the car looks with Weitec GT Hicon Coilovers:     New

That's a bloody good deal.

Can't wait to see the difference with the spacers on.

    Ohhh yes...:)

    Do you really need yellow stuff pads and super brake fluid? Lots of tracks days planned as well as Combe?

    Day to day driving, even fast road driving won't see the need for it surely?

    With your power output (140-150bhp) upgraded 312's with decent discs and pads would be fine?

    I know where you coming form Ad but 312mm will cost me much more than yellow stuff and brake fluid put together. The both options are road legal and I'll definitely benefit from both even if I decide to go on track...so I'm killing two birds with one stone...;)

    312mm set up inc. discs, callipers, pads and everything else will cost me roughly £250 or more.

    These pads and fluid costed me less than £85 in total and it's much better option for me at the moment

    I might get 312mm brakes in the future but speaking to Sharkrider and seeing how his car performed at Castle Combe with just Yellow Pads fitted I decided to do the same to my car.

    He also said these perform really well on the day to day driving so that was no brainer for me...;)

    I get where you are coming from but I just feel it may be over kill?

    Dave also has the need for more stopping power having 200bhp or so!

    You should scour the for sale section - the odd set come up with discs and pads relatively cheap.

    I'm putting 312's on mine this weekend.

    Thanks for the advice and recommendations on which parts I should've ordered... :happy:

    312mm set up inc. discs, callipers, pads and everything else will cost me roughly £250 or more.

     

    You can sometimes pick a set up for around £100, second hand.

    I might even know where there is a set.

    Spoken to the supplier and it looks like pads I ordered should fit the 312mm set up anyway so Happy Days and huge thanks to you Richard...!!!!!!

     

    My car will have even better stopping power now....:)

    Nice box, mine came in bubble wrap, and that's it, lol.

    Did you get both?

    Few things added over the Weekend...On satruday I paid Ross  (Tech1e) a visit and had my Cruise Control fitted...Over the moon with it. the service and price was spot on and great, If you was a Cruise Control in your Car give Ross a shout... :rock:

     

    Second thing was I upgraded my Intake to PD160 from Seat (Bought it here from Haydn)... :happy:

     

    Very easy to fit, engine bay looks better and bit deeper engine noise.

     

    :sun:

    So few things happened today and were fitted to my Furby... ;)

     

    We removed the rear dampers and springs to fit the Weitec Hicon GT Coilovers, Then the rear polybushes were replaced with the SuperPro ones and lastly my H&R Rear ARB is finally on the car, few pics below:

     

    Coilovers and RARB...The wheels are not mine as my alloys are getting the full refurb and brand new Vredenstein 205/45/17 Ultrac Cento Tyres...!!

    Little question though...

     

    I have the Front Wishbone Rear Bushes with Anti Lift and I wondered what setting/how should we adjust these when fitting these..? :think:  :wonder:  Pics of what mine look like below:
