Very nice photos Naz, Car has come a long way. :cool:

 

looks great dude :D

 

Cheers fellas, thank you for the brake fluid Ric! :)

 

Finally opened up my brake calipers which I got last week.

Happy with the finish, painted in daytona violet to match my car. My new wheels will show off more brake calliper so I wanted them a different colour to the standard black...

 

These are being fitted on Thursday

Brakes now fitted thanks to Kirk

They look lovely :) however my old wheels did not fit over the calipers UGH! The person who I bought it off ages ago said they would with spacers :S Thanks to Iky and Chico for rescuing me, borrowing a spacer and his wheel so I could reverse my car back in my garage as it had been pulled out a little to do the work.

 

I was planning on selling my wheels to Chico then buying some stock 17s for winter... I decided I would do a swap with my old khan wheels as they cleared the UK brakes and Chico agreed (thanks) Slightly different now as Chico had powder coated them black. Ill end up using these as winter wheels once my new ones arrive and on the subject of that...

 

... the new wheels have been cancelled after some poor communication from jdmdistro. I didnt look at their offset chart when selecting the wheels however their website allows you to select the offset right the way through to processing/ordering. I even got a confirmation email. I ordered my wheels at the end of Feb and only yesterday (when the stock arrived) I was told that they were not available in the offset& colour I chose however the offset was available in another (those of u on my facebook will know) I selected the other colour and called him this morning to confirm and process the order. He told me over the phone that I would get them next week via parcel force, I was fooking Cheshire catting all morning as you can imagine :D and then I got a call from him to say that they were out of stock and not in stock till mid July!!! They had my money since 26th of feb and not once had they looked at the order to see the mistake I had made and the piss take is that they couldn't even hold the wheels until I decided if I wanted the alternative colour! So that is why I cancelled!

 

Japshop supply the same wheel so I will be going with them, just have to wait till July though :rolleyes:

 

Anyway enough venting, some pictures...

Looks great :cool:

 

Great work Naz mate, Cars looking :cool: as !

 

Cheers lads

 

I also serviced the car on the weekend, its been a bit over a year since the last one...

 

Treated the car to Fuchs Titan Race Pro S, new oil filter and sump plug. I also fitted my oil temp and oil pressure sensors into a sandwich plate. I was given a LCD oil pressure gauge that will go into the abyss that is is my ignition side fan (missing the fan currently), got it as a bday present so if I don't like it I wont use it.
