PM if you likeNice mate an what he said JohnCheers lads, the refurb on the brakes wasn't the cheapest (well not sure what the going rate is any way), but I paid £80 for the 2 to be done, thought it seemed steep untill I seen the work the had done to them.

My dad knows the manager at a company local to us that specialise in calliper refurbishment etc, so I was expecting to pay a few beer tokens lol. At least I know they're right now. Didn't even do anything before haha! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie1st Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Little update,Got the front arches under-sealed, and fitted the front coilovers.The inner arch needs a good clean now lol.Also flushed the brake fluid with some fresh 5.1 and ditched the old jap DOT 3.Took her for a quick test drive, even though the tracking/camber etc is mileeees out. Came back and the front discs were glowing red like I've never seen, but was still stopping better, so happy with that. Although brakes are next on the wish list...

Jamie1st Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Well took the car to my mates garage, so we could set the camber and tracking, came across abit of a problem, so had to put the standard front shock/spring set up back on untill we could set the camber as it was all over the shop, and I wanted to go to MFN etc over the weekend.Everything sorted now, so I'll pop back up there one night this week so we can get the camber done, and tracking all in time for Castle Coombe!Did manage to get my oil cooler on though while he did the clutch on my works van! (Big thanks to my mate Lee and his boss Burn for letting me use the ramps etc)Got too much braided line really, think I'm going to have some shorted ones made up with the bends on the fixings like i want them, but will do for now.Not sure why, but haven't got a pictured of the actual cooler lol.While it was up in the air I wax oiled the otherside, could do with another coat now its set abit.Wish I had a decent camera!Due to fitting the coilovers on the rear it was alot more obvious the rear beam was out of line, so took of the Whitline Panhard rod and went to adjust it..After getting it glowing red, pleanty of oil and some huge stilsons, we manged to turn it. Took it 2.5 turns as it was very very stiff and tried it at that. It's alot better but could do with abit more adjutsment.Previous to this, I had a loud knocking noise that would come from the rear at certain angles, but this has dissapered now after messing with the adj. Panhard rod, turns out the nut had came slightly loose on it.Only running coilovers on the rear, with my standard shocks and Tein springs up front, but fuck me does it handle! Can't wait to get the fronts back on a set up!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie1st Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Quick Video of me having a run with a Honda Civic EG Turbo. The week after I got it mapped, kept hitting the limiter though which killed my speed! Got passed though ;)/>http://youtu.be/TEy9edG_dCY Edited May 8, 2012 by Jamie1st Quote Link to post Share on other sites
