Not really done a whole lot recently as I've been kinda ill and run down from long work weeks and late nights, did manage to wash and wax the car, along with the wheels, so the car at least looks shiny again!
Now the brakes have had chance to bed in and clean off the surface contaminates, as well as a second bleeding about a week after install, they stop insanely well with very little fade, it's hard to quantify but for me there is a noticable reduction in time required to stop. Really loving the upgrade so far!, plenty more to come though! |

Seeing your car makes me wish I had white wheels again. Looks awesome, loving the brake kit you got!

Looks like he's gone MIA. I tried PMing him as well and no response. I guess real life getting in the way of forum time? Hopefully just that and nothing bad happened.

Woot, thanks for the update! Glad that you haven't left the forum!
Here's hoping you get back to your car and get to log some more driving time soon!

I do! But, as you might be able to tell from the front end of the vehicle (and its new headlight washer jets), I ended up dragging it over the seas with me to the UK, still have plans for the car but got massively sidetracked by the move, a house purchase, kids, etc! Currently working on a little thing for it too.. Will share more about it once I have the prototypes built and tested! |
