Cheers mate, its a TX Autosport one or sumthing like that, gets good reviews on here so i thought why not.

Rebuilding will be awesome, highly anticipating this mate

 

[drka-drka]

Iv got a huge parts pile building up and its still got a few major bits to come, getting excited!! Bay is starting to come together. Just sent a few bits off too, cant wait for them to come back too.

Cant wait to feel the brakes since theyr more or less gonna be brand new!

[MATTCR]

Love the look of those refurbed Brembos

How much did it cost to get them done? I'm in Sutton Coldfield so not far from Wolves.

 

[EL]

Awesome stuff mate. Been thinking about getting my brembos fully refurbed like that. Would be interesting to see how different they feel when back on the car, should be solid

Iv got another pic of them that i love haha, i kinda like them in this plain silver..

It was 95 pound a caliper, and they totally strip them down, new nipples, seals, pistons good clean up, Mine needed done so i was glad when i found a place so close who could do it.

It was a place called Des Shelley Shafts, really good service he only needed them for a few days think in total it was a 4 day turnround

I cant wait to get them on, i was only going to be doing discs and pads but iv ended up rebuilding my entire brake system, braided hoses are the last piece and my totally new brake system can be built again

 

[drka-drka]

Right more updates, i wasnt gonna put much up till i was done but like willie said sumwhere on this thread...thats pretty boring.

So i started to fit my FMIC this afternoon

Before

During, lots of bits off

Old Vs New- The FMIC looks kinda small IMO

Thats as far as i got cause my drill has no battery so had to go stick that on charge for the night. But i also bought these ages ago and forgot about them being in my rear footwell

Whos that in my passanger seat 2

This is how i left it, looking pretty sorry for itself with most of its bits missing

And a shot of my brembos cuz im a ***** and they look so sexy!

The FMIC may look small but its in a perfect postion to get air to it. The SMIC aren't in the best position:

Its also deeper then the forge ones, which the top part of sits behind the crash bar. It'll do a good job mate.

Yeah looking at that pic there is a huge diffrence, am i right in thinking i have to drill my crash bar bitty? Before i go and do it,lol cant see any other way tbh.

Got a call off the guys making my upper boost pipes they should be here monday too and maybe start to get my bay back together ready for next month. Then MOT again! yey

You need to drill two holes to hang the intercooler from.

 

[drka-drka]

Yeah thought i might have been able to hang it from the holes already there but not in the right place or size.
