The 2nd one, but get actual 3sdm's :D that's what I wanted but don't want to spend that much money lol

Yes they are the 3SDM 0.01

Scrapping the first and last choice in the pics. Between the middle 2, the 3SDM 0.01 and the forgeline CF3C

Started to take the brembos to the bear metal. Once ive got all the paint off ill smooth out the metal finish then need to pick up some Hammerite paint primer tomorrow as paint on bear metal alone isnt going to work. Also need to pick up some more sanding accessories for the Dremmel to get into those hard to reach places. Hoping by end of tomorrow have them sanded and in metal primer, then the following night paint them and leave a few days before fitting. will also allow time for the Brembo decals to arrive from a ebay purchase

Not sure if i should spray paint the primer or hand brush the primer and sand it flat afterwards to help fill any imperfections in the metal

These, wheel refurb, tyres and a RARB are going to be what I buy when I'm back from the desert!! We are going to have the same cars, just different colours lol, but I'm not spending £££ on Konig, I will settle for black leather recaros ;) Looking good dawg keep up the lazy dremel sanding! I sanded my rears down with sand paper and sweat! When I'm home, like you said we're having photos!

I did the right thing with the brembos I had, sand blaster. 1 Hour each and there wasn't a tiny bit of paint on them :) I nearly bought some porsche 986 rears the other, with lines adapters and pads, because they use the 312mm disc, but rumours that the brakes aren't very good on our cars due to piston area or something...? I sat in a mates cloth recaro's the other week, they're really supportive but now I have leather, I don't want to 'downgrade'. I'll see if some leathers come up.... Well, I'm scheduled to fly over on the a date this month with a 9 and a 2 as the day (shouldn't be saying this so just swap the two numbers round lol) But, that's 'subject to change' Originally was meant to be going last Friday for 5 weeks, but that all changed to end of this month for 11 weeks. It works out ok though, because I get paid the same day, so thats a whole pay just sat in there and once more out there, then once again a week after I land in the UK. I'd say I'm going to have a wedge, but I'm not.... Lloyds tsb is going to get their money back! Out again for another 10 weeks come August, so that money will be mine to blow on the car. I know you didn't ask for my life story but there you go. :)

I too had the Porsche brembos but ended up getting rid, they were bigger and heavier then the LCR ones but run a smaller disc and also read braking wasn't the best due to the surface contact area. Leathers are a bitch when you first get in the car in the winter though lol
