True, very true. :wink:

Not like I don’t have some decent brakes already! Just being lazy so I didn’t have to finish the refurb! :roll:

Tell me about it :roll: I've got a hell of a task in front of me. And I've got Phil hanging over me like a Vulture hoping I can't fit the brembos under my SA3Rs so he can have them! (The SA3Rs that is) :lol:

It did indeed used to be mine! But now I'm in a better position as someone else is spending thousands on it and I'll still get to drive it once in a while :D

And you two parts vulchers above... You have enough parts between you stored in sheds and garages to build a couple of extra highly spec'd ludes already! ;)

Oh and on a side note how do I have a -5 reputation from someone I don't know?

The neg rep is probably accidental. I hit the wrong one by accident on my phone all the time :roll:

Well they're bolted on now with locking wheel nuts... so your not having them :P Floor is just getting rattle can'd at the minute until the car gets painted, then the guy said he'll paint the inside pretty much free of charge :D
The intake manifold... I have done myself. I've used a range of air grinders, air saws, and die griders.. oh and files and sand paper. Its still not quite finished, and i've spent far to many hours doing it! But hopefully it should flow more than the atr one now on boost :) and I've saved money on not buying an atr manifold.

Did you usse any spacers tp clear distance between caliper and wheels's spoke? I have Ksport 8 pistons and 330mm disc and that what Im worry about.
ludes are ment to be driven, not wanking around on a stand like a Civic.

He told me earlier he needed 3mm spacers on the wheels to clear the caliper.
