New wheels look very nice!!! What are they? Rota Subzeros? Brembos look great aswell, bet you can feel the braking difference BIG TIME!!

 

[redcupraboy]

Liking your new wheels and brakes, I think the wheels are Mille Miglias HT7s I may be wrong though and Im sure Shantybeater had them on his old Ibiza.

thanks, alot of people who i see have said they prefer the new wheels. yeah they are the mille miglias, oh i have noticed a massive improvement of the brakes! nearly through me through the front screen when first hit them! cant believe how shocking my standard brakes were untill i fitted these!

how much did you torque the nuts down on the carrier to hub bolts and caliper to carrier bolts please mate, must say i quite like the wheels

 

[Banksy 1]

brackets were already on the calipers so didnt remove them off the calipers just made sure they were tight, as for the bolts to the hub i just used a 3/8th rachet then tightened them up with a 3/8th long bar, im a mechanic so i know how tight they should be really even though i know i should still torque them! lol. have you got sum to fit yourself?

 

[chrisbond69]

yeah im a tech in the airforce and im pretty particular to things being torqued to the correct torque range thats all

No mate arent fauting you at all because as a mechanic i should know that all bolts need to be torqued really but you can get away with most things on a car just tightening them up unlike on a plane, lol
