oh and the battery is flat...again!! only drove it on Wednesday..something is draining the battery while ignition isn't on

 

[lemski]

Are you sure the battery isnt just knackered?
Check the earth on engine and check the live to the starter for loosness

[hardmonkeys]

It was a new battery last year, will check the connections, gonna try get the piston sorted first..

[hardmonkeys]

Done OSR 

Now for the NSR, Piston is moving, but not winding back, marvellous!

[hardmonkeys]

Got it moving, and pads are in..then it rains lol Great!!

Anyways, the pads really did need doing!

[lemski]

Loads of life left in that.

You can use the metal too can't you, makes a little bit more noise, with added sparks for dramatic, pyrotechnical purposes

[lemski]

Its all the rage using the metal. I hear once this disc is gone its time to change the lot. Not before though or you dont get you moneys worthe 

[hardmonkeys]

Spend a couple of hours sorting the discs and bearings out,


 

Didn't take as long as I thought, 1hr 1/2, and that was getting a new abs ring too, as one broke, £21.99 from Ecp



Finally on matching wheels for the first time since April 2015 lol

Not a massive fan of them,  but they'll do for now...I think we can say...Conversion complete, although that's not the end of this project, plenty more to do, now it's making it look decent...told you, you wouldn't get rid of me that easily lol

Feeling good about this summer!

[lemski]

Spray it pink. And stick some proper sick jdm wheels on it. Against the grain...


Look pretty decent mate, i was looking at these the other day to bank a 20vt into that ive got sitting about
