So failed tonight the pads are too thick, the disc spun freely in the carrier and the split pin went in fine so the pads must be too thick  :undecided: The new hub cap is too big aswell the old ones fit perfectly?
The white stuff on the sheild is WAX by the way  :wink: :laugh:






 
a lot of decent hard work going into this dude, keep it up :)
Thanks matey!

i would run them as they are jay, look tidy enough just to be sure you like them 

are they RH cups ?

Only German stamps on them Enso I think not sure mate? ET35 so good clearance on the G60's
Can't decide yet TBH, need to drop them and set ride height then take another look see.
One alloy has a bent lip

You know I still can't tell if an alloy can run itself right?
I had mag wheels and they were so soft the bump it had did roll out but I've spoken to other people and they say its a myth?
Don't know? One miniute there is a warped lip next 100 miles its gone?  :undecided: :grin:

Well well I'm tired of the brakes giving me grief after all this time!
Bleed with the new brakes and not enough pedal pressure so it's confirmed a new MC!
Draining the old Resivoir out and preping the new one to go in  :sad: Wasted 1ltr of good brake fluid  :cry:

On another note the handbrake works better than it did before  :grin:
Shiny rear brakes  :laugh: :cry:

Jay, its a mk2 it must have bbs splits and be sat on the floor. Am not sure if the trends small or big bumpers at the moment.

In all seriousness it looks spot on buddy. If u keep the wheels do thwm a slightly darker silver

I used run Enzo cups on my last mk2, not bad wheels really although I think the RH cups are slightly nicer as they have more dish.

I'm borrowing them for a bit for MOT like chuff said worth just having them as work shoes!
Just got £7 super stuck it in fired it up lumpy as fook. Reved it up settled down then dam thing started to idle high 3000rpm.
Took off the TB pipes carb cleaner and air flap. Tippexed the throttle screw unpluged the coil to ISV turned it right nearly 360 its sitting around 1100RPM.
Will have to wait till morning to see if it will start on cold?
Drove a bit in the drive and the brakes bite like snakes on a plane quiet happy TBH  :cool:
