Had a new box and single mass flywheel and clutch out on all was fine but now its really judring when in first gear but the clutch kit was second hand silly move I no.

And Defo going look into the brembos as feel the brakes as standard are a let down

Argh right cool.

I want some 4 pots bad as think the standard ibiza brakes are a bit soft.

But as you no I need sort my other problems out first.. even tho bidding on a new set of wheels lol.
 
Had a couple of hours on the car tonight

Stripped the slam panel and intercooler bracket/bar off

And fab'ed up some new brackets to beable to squeeze the oil cooler in

Pulled the rear brakes apart to see whats up with them and to paint em up

Ebc pads in about 6 months and dont look that good

20121113_191955.jpg


So replaced them with some brembo pads and gave a lick of paint

20121113_212318.jpg


So before i gave the drivers front caliper a second code of paint i cracked the brake nipples off just to check thw werent seized. They werent so carried one painting and started painting the letters black

Pictures on the piss lol

Tried the passenger side and snap goes the inner bleed nipple so the calipers off to get it drilled out tomoz hopefully

Caliper has 2 bleed nipples one, well did till i snaped it off lol

Finally decided where my oil cooler is going and ordered my hoses, so when they come i can line all up amd fix in place
