Did sod all really! Spent about an hour in the garage on Sunday morning.

Fixed the dizzy, put rocker cover back on and the fuel rail and inlet manifold.

Nothing done! Apathy has set in.

Well I am being made redundant and Badger5 cant do the next lot of work until April/May so have no incentive!
Plus am off to Cuba next month too.

So dont expect any updates for a while.

Maybe the 312mm front brakes will give me the boost I need :undecided:

Just think redundancy is nature giving you time to work on the car.  I looked at it being a bonus

Have already turned down one job I could have walked straight into! Going to take a bit of time and see if I can for once in my life pick a good one!
Either that or I will be back earning big money but living away from home!

Did have a look at the new 312mm discs.
Problem with the braided hoses but BB is on the case there!
Although Brad has now told me I can use my calipers with the carriers he sold me, so I wouldnt need to change the hoses!

I did wonder why you was changing callipers, they work 100% fine with 312mm (they even share the same brake pads) and did consider asking that!  :embarrassed:
I am looking at the hose issue as per pm  :wink:

Because I bought a pair of S3 calipers/carriers off Brad and was going to swap them over complete, not knowing they were interchangable. I had even started painting them! lol
