Really miss riding this time of year, but the roads are getting worse, some of my best roads are still nice, and in place stone chipped which is annoying!

Paul are you going to the AMD RRNA tomorrow?

No mate, can't go as I am working, bit gutted really as I enloyed the last one would have been good to have another meet up before xmas

Tried fitting a short shifter today, didn't really go to plan, it feels horrible and notchey, the standard shifter went straight back on

 

[AndrewJB]

Needs adjusting, its not to everybody's taste i love the mechanical feel once fitted with metal bushes etc

Picked up my r32 calipers from the sprayers today, really pleased with them

Just got to rebuild them, buy some new pads and braided lines

I've been looking @ putting one of these on my car, whats wrong with?

I love the gearchange on mine so thought one of these would just make it better, was it easy to fit?

Its really easy to fit, 10 min job max.

I personally didn't like the feel of changing gear but was in a rush so didn't have time to adjust it, I will be trying it again and adjusting it a bit.

Had a second attempt at fitting the rcd 510 today after I failed the first time by not being able to make the "safe pin"

It looks great and I even got the seat media splash screen

Looks good mate, liking almost everything on the car. Those new brakes wont be that white for long haha

Thanks, the brakes will be getting about 4 coats of heat resistant wax before they get put on the car to protect them.

Today I have been carrying out a few interior mods

1st some gti pedals

Then finally fitted my rcd 510

I can see all the music info on the mfd

Very pleased with these mods and neither took too long so I gave the car a well deserved interior valet

Haven't updated for a while

today I bought an eibach front arb, I am planning on getting either the salk or walk kit and get them all fitted at the same time plus getting alignment done

I was tempted by one of these after I fitted my RARB. U will have to let me know how u get on with it and how it feels. Have u managed to get ur brakes on yet mate? We need to go for a pint sometime, ain't seen ya in ages

It won't be going on for a while mate, saw it cheap so thought I better buy it lol.

not done anything with my brakes, still need pads, hoses and fluid but will be waiting until spring to save the white paint, I am thinking white may have been a bad choice now.

Have you managed to sort your front end out yet?

 

[Benzy]

Ahh rite fair enough.

Naa not sorted yet. Iv got most of the bits and I'm gonna try and get it all done on Friday. Early start at my mates place in Camborne to try to get it all done in one day
