That's a shame to hear about Bess, that was an impressive car, but you gotta do what you gotta do I guess. The R1 will give you yer flat-oot kicks for now am sure tho Been meaning to get my bike licence for years now, did a CBT when I was at uni but let it expire due to no money to get properly qualified. Maybe once me and the g/f have got a house I'll get round to that then.

Niall,
Missed your thread until now! Title threw me off I think!
Cars looking good! Did you have the wheels done at the last meet? Can't for the life of me remember... I'm considering getting mine done after I have mine up and running. £120 from chameleon down here in Glasgow
And as Willie said, David at sere is by far the best place to get OEM parts. I go to him for even small things like gaskets and bolts if I'm not desperate.

Cheers Josh Thought the title might get more attention than "yet another red LCR blah blah" but guess I was wrong. Says a lot about petrolheads as a species!
No just got the wheels done about 2 weeks ago, last meet they were still OEM silver with some bad kerbing. It was Chameleon I went to but sadly got there about 2 days before they announced that offer. They did make a good job of the wheels but there's been a strange clicking noise from the rear brakes since then. Can't say for sure that was their fault yet but the car is in the garage today getting it checked out - certainly was no noise before tho.
Other thing is I think they didn't let the lacquer dry long enough before putting the wheels back on - I jacked the car up to try and get the rear offside wheel off to check out the noise but couldn't get it free. Didn't want to try and force it too much cos it was just on the elbow jack as I've not got a trolley or axle stands yet. Hopefully they're not stuck too much and the garage manage to get them off without damaging them!

They should manage to get the wheel off I would hope! Where have you put it in?
Oh right superb.
No not yet. Just sat all me resits so as soon as I get back I will be getting back on it.
Ah right, you at uni/college? What you studying?
Been using that place for a while now, used to use the guy's Dad in Peterculter, but it's up a mega-rough track, not sure an LCR could get up that road without gettin beached. I know you do a lot/all work yourself but is there anywhere else you'd recommend?

Heard back earlier tonight, garage found some of the exhaust hangers were broken so they're fixing those and putting on new OEM rear discs and pads. Other than that they couldn't find anything wrong, but have asked them to clean up and free all the calipers (front and rear) as well as sorting out the back with new discs and pads. I'll get some good discs and pads for the front as the next item on my LCR shopping list...
Yellow stuff pads what i have on the front of mine amazing dunno about the discs but they are awsome once warmed up
Couldnt tell you mate, honestly have no idea.
Can give you a shot it you want to try them out, main downside i find is they make bit noise

Just when you start to brake. then it stops then you know your stopping, but nope the noise aint all the time and once warm no noise at all
Well back from the garage tonight, good news is the noise is gone, got some new OEM discs and pads on the rear now and they took all the wheels off and cleaned up all the pistons (front and rear) to make sure they're all free and whatnot. Braking performance seems a little better now but will need to get some good discs and pads on the front, that's gonna have to wait a little bit now tho.
@Willie, as said above based on what you were saying about the brakes I asked them to check out the front ones, they said they're fine now so guess it's just the worn discs and cheap crap pads that are on there.
Back in business for now anyway
