What did you and your MK2 do today?

Getting the brake disc screw off?

That was the easiest.

1. My wheels nuts had been overtightend to the extent i had to go buy the biggest breaker bar halfords sold.

2. After removing the calipers i then realised i need a 16mm spline socket. So popped to halfords in my 1.0 focus.

3. After getting spline socket do you think i could crack the carrier bolts??? Required my 1m long breaker bar and blood sweat and alot of tears.(both sides)

4.my caliper wouldnt rewind freely......resulted in use of the breaker bar and a 2nd pair of hands. (Drivers side wound back fine).


Do what did i learn? Breaker bars are very very useful.

Honestly never experienced a job like it

Sounds like some stuff has never been touched before lol or maybe had impacted it all on!

Someone out there clearly had a good laugh over tightening it all knowing i was going to attempt it

Car has 80k on and the pads was nearly on metal so id like to guess maybe they hadnt ever been changed

Hi Guys, complete newbie here, trying to get my posts up

Put a TRC splitter on my K1 the other week, just painted all the badges black, now thinking of removing the C U P R A badge at the rear....

Ordered a neuspeed P flo kit from Awesome yesterday, interested to see your opinions on this kit?? VS maybe the Revo or Forge twin kits....

Probably should have asked before I spent the money

Will get some pics up soon

Should have bought the Revo intake...... Cancel your order and get one....

What is the difference?

 

[Dan FR]

The Revo one is better.... Bigger diameter with smooth transitions, better heatshield, better filter.....

And its cheaper or very similar price too. Silly not to

Cant cancel now as its already dispatched, I'm not going for HUGE power, K1 is still me daily. I think you would only notice the 'better air flow' when going for 4-500 bhp. It is still one piece so airflow should be the same as the revo....

Ahh anyway man it took me ages to decide on the neuspeed. Awesome did not stock Revo plus it was working out about £40 inc postage more than the neuspeed.

Plus neuspeed came in red

thanks for the advice though

got the windows tinted on mine as factory tint wasn't dark enough to stop the sun going in the little ones eyes

Got a fresh MOT after having to replace the rear springs as one had a 3" end piece snapped off of the offside rear spring. Also 4 wheel allignment after having a 50p shaped nearside rear tire but now with fresh Pilot super sports on the car.

Expensive month

Looks like it could be the Cupra R spoiler and the BTCC skirts

Decided to hoover the inside of the R while my son and wife went out and i found a £10 note under the passenger seat. Finders keepers.
Off down to the local for a swift pint now

made a start on removing the old bonding off the btcc spoiler i bought, plan to have it on next weekend and maybe give the calipers a lick of paint

Installed HEL brake lines with new brake oil, ATE SL6.
Braking very good, with no signs of fatigue.

Changed a broken fog light with an Seat Original one.

And finaly found 4 Andromeda 18" wheels to take original 16" off.

Here in Portugal you would not change... To many bad roads and periodic inspections.
