Keirz's Glanza V A.k.a Steve-v


Recommended Posts

thanks,

the rocker has been done in metalic gun metal grey. i think im gonna do in army camo at some point though. i will try and get some bateries for my camara. the amber lenses are 100% staying. im also doing the fogs amber and converting them to running lights. just not got around to it this weekend.

my car has developed a strange problem. think that its clutch related so i think im gonna go for an orc309 clutch kit. thats when i can diagnose if its definatly clutch. revs fly up between 3000 and 4500 very quickly then settle after, its like the clutch has been dipped. its some thing i was gonna upgrade anyway at some point, gonna get an lsd too.

i can see debt coming on.............

thanks people, i hope all my plans come together too.

bad news= brake upgrade is on hold for a while. bummer was looking forward to them.

instead im ordering the clutch and lightened flywheel. im gambling on this being the problem so i may as well get it ordered. cuz its giving me a head ache worrying about it!

same pads as you mate too 1144. i think running standard power like i am they exceed what i need thats why i went for this setup over a big brake kit.

i fitted it all last sat but havnt really drove my car since. they feel good to me so far once they walm up a little that is. they look cool too which is a bonus!!!

Well I don't use my brakes hard at all but the pedal still has a lot of dead travel before they bite which I don't like.

When they bite it is good though, I gave them a bit of abuse to test them and they did seem to fade quite easily which was a bit dissapointing.

You don't happen to want some blue caliper paint to make them look even nicer?! :p:p

its funny you should mention this i have heard reports of the 1144 pads being quite hard to keep up to temp during normal driving conditions especailly on such a small car!! keep us up to date please as i was looking at using these pads too!!
