Got my hands on a mild steel TD04 manifold and Decat. Not paying until next Friday, but first two parts acquired (As long as Jamie doesn't pull out... ;) )

Next up, find a decent condition turbo.

Slowly mate, hoping to have it all together in January and then I'll book a date at TuningDevelopments. One hell of a road trip that is roughly 10 hours return. Debating if I travelodge it overnight or not!

Fair enough mate, Probs be worth travelodging it for how long the trip is if its 10 hours lol, enjoy the trip with no traffic then, or have to worry about rushing.

So this weekend i finally decided to change the brake pads. There was naffed from when i bought the car in October. I just hadn't got around to buying the pads. Bought them eventually a few weeks ago, an i just haven't pulled my finger out. But, it was blue skies yesterday morning and after loading my brain with YouTube "How to's.." i finally decided i'll give it a go.



I've never wanted to change brake pads before or discs for that matter mainly because it's safety and i wouldn't want to trust myself with that in my own hands. But within the last year, i've been doing more and more to the car so finally decided i'll swallow my nervousness and do it.



I couldn't believe how easy it was, and why i've never done it before! I paid £150 to change 4x discs, 4x Pads and 4x braided hoses to be installed on my civic 6 months ago, i could've done it all myself within 3 hours at a push!



Took me only an hour and a half to;


  • Change pads
  • Paint Calipers

Here's a few snaps i took nothing that interesting..Decided to go for a Aque Blue colour, tried to match my silicone hoses but it's a lot more bright, never the less i still like it.

Being a lazy and useless bastard with a brush, i roped the Mrs's into it as they're good with painting there nails and what not, managed to swing her by the promise of a meal out if she helped me! - (It worked)

Pretty happy with the results, sets off the black alloys better now. I'll eventually get some snaps of how the cars looking soon, i just haven't bothered!

Awesome lad coming on well

I've got an TD04 oil line here £5 if you want it pal also got that pillar pod

Chuck me a picture when you get a chance fella? Is it a braided one?

Didn't take you long to go TD04 good work mate

James

It was the plan all along. Thought i'd be happy with CT9 for a year. But since im having a nightmare with creeping and fuel cut. Instead of wasteing money on sorting the issues im happy to plod around for a few months. I barely see a dual carriageway or motorway anyway. So town driving im no where near boost!

Can't wait! Still got a hefty lump to spend yet.. Going to do it as early as possible next year!!

If you only do town driving won't that mean you'll never see boost on a td04 haha? Have to do some motorways then dude!!!!!! Im still fannying around with the ct9 :(

I avoid the dualies and motorways at the moment. Town driving doesn't give me an issue.

When TD04 comes, I'll be EVERYWHERE haha!

Fantastic turbo kit :) best upgrade I did to my Glanza was fit that

Just glad your helping a fellow member out, can't wait for this!
