Nice to see some updates dude.

Do you make all these parts yourself?? or you get someone else to do it for you??

I measured up the plates and stuff and my dad cut the plates to size at work then i marked and drilled the holes!! it gives me something to do in my spare time!! :D i have a few extra platres lying about if you want a set liam i did andya set for the gt charged him a tenner all he had to sort was the longer bolts!!

Nice update, I want brakes like that! Could you feel much of an improvement?

Cool Rob,

Did you sort your seat rails out yourself when you fitted the FTO seats??? Its just i am looking at getting some different seats, and don't really know what i need to do with the rails.

Will have to have a look on the 24th

its been niggling me since i fitted the rolla mani that the cable didnt fit propperly and was virtually un adjustable so i finally got round to making a braket to sole the problem!!

works a treat and fits which is always a good start!! the cable is secure and is adjustable again!! Winner <_<

Bad Times!! i went to fit the brakes the other week but they were the wrong discs!! 3G had sent the wrong size so they should be getting swapped next week before i start my new job!! along with two new eagles!! Good Times!!

Cheers Philip!!

they have been custon cut by a company of ebay to 17mm wide they were a little more expensive but they fit much better as they completly fill the lip now unlike the old ones and the vinyl is much better quality!! but the colour is a little off but its al good :)
