Been a bit quiet on the update front as i've haven't done much

Got a few things lined up, had a few things delievered this week, got some 15mm spacers and bolts for the rear wheels, pagid and brembo pads for my r32 conversion and some plastic dip in preparation of my triple r diffuser fins turning up so i can make a custom diffuser

Should have a few more things turning up this week like braided hoses and a few tools for the brake conversion

 

[paul_zx6r]

Fitted my 15mm rear spacers today

before



after



also had one eagle f1 fitted as I've still got around 5mm left on the fronts so will last a few more weeks, also gave the car a good clean, the fk1000 and hd wax are holding up well.

Thanks mate, it went through the mot last year but that's before these new rules came in, I've got an mot next month but I can't see why it wouldn't go through as they can't see the dpf has been gutted from the underneath.


ordered a super pro anti lift kit, will get this fitted along with the front arb and geometry set up at the same time

Looks great with the spacers! defiantly need to get some sorted for mine. U got a rear arb as well Paul?

Thanks bud, I'm gonna try the spacers on the front at some point to see if I can get away with 15mm rather than 10mm.

yeah I've got an autotech rear arb set of the stiffest setting, great mod and tightens the rear end up nicely.

Not sure what size width alloys your running, but my new alloys are 8 x 18" with a standard offset of E.T40 my fronts have 10mm spaces on so final E.T is 30 my alloys are near as makes no difference flush with the front arches....if your on 8J or Wider I'd say dont go above 10mm spacers up front...my 15mm out back give me a rear Final E.T of 25 & THERE again flush with the rear arches...

To be honset mate, I have no clue about et sizes

I wouldn't want to go anymore than 15mm on the back, so maybe it will be just 10mm for the front.

 

[paul_zx6r]

few more bits turned up in the last week, braided hoses, bleed kit and some diffuser fins, their definitely gonna need some re shaping to get a nice flush fit

 

[paul_zx6r]

Had another delivery today

 

[paul_zx6r]

Had the Goodyear f1s fitted on the front saturday then took the car for an mot this morning, it flew straight through

Will hopefully be fitting the r32 brakes this weekend.

 

[paul_zx6r]

Yesterday I fitted my r32 brakes

Front



Rear



Took ages and euro car parts sent me the wrong front pads so luckily I kept the ones I got with the calipers, I exchanged them today so will be swapping them tomorrow along with a re bleed as they still feel really spongy

 

[paul_zx6r]

I am selling my eibach front arb and "salk" if anyones interested pm me for prices both brand new and never fitted

 

[paul_zx6r]

Small update on the brakes, I had to take the car into a garage as I couldn't get a "brake pedal" I thought there was still air in the system that I couldn't get out, the garage thought the same and turned on the abs module for a bleed and .......................................... they got no air in the system.

next stage was to change the master cylinder, they said theres more brake feel but still not right so today they are sending the abs pump off for inspection, this is turning out to be a very expensive brake kit.

I could have got an AKS BBK for the price this is going to cost me.

 

[paul_zx6r]

I have to leon back now, brakes fully working just need to bed the brake pads in

yesterday i took all the wheels off, cleaned the calipers and wheels up and resealed with fk1000 wax, plus a full clean of the car icluding claying and waxed with auto glym hd wax.

I've sold the super pro anti lift kit and front arb and after having a spirted drive at the weekend and still really impressed how well the car handles so will not be purchasing them again.

Next jobs are to make the custom rear diffuser ( would have done this by now if the car wasn't in the garage for 5 weeks), front bumper respray and refurb the alloys ( think i'm going to stick with gloss black)

 

[paul_zx6r]

Brakes are bedded in and working great

over the weekend i fitted some 4300k hids, they give a really nice crisp white light

 

[paul_zx6r]

i have also ordered a golf shark fin dab antenna as the stick on window one loses reception a lot of the time for some reason

 

[KebabWarrior81]

Lovely motor Paul some great work done... Oh and it's the best colour

Thanks i've been a bit quiet on here lately.

Not really done much to the car apart from fitting the shark fin airel and keeping up with the detailing.

Still trying to sort out a rear diffuser.

Where did you purchase the spacers from Paul? Are they direct from tpi?
