HID's fitted yesterday, took 15minutes to do. These kits have come a long way since we fitted a set to the Pug.

I'm thinking a massive ICE install would help no end.

6000k bud. Decent white light output, much better than the standard bulbs, the ballasts weigh about 10grams each too. For the European Road Trips and general fast road driving the light upgrade is well worth doing.

You're so going to end up getting a set now Cool

Surprising how easy they are to fit nowadays isn't it？

Only took me about 15 mins putting my set on the MGF, 6000k as well. Best choice.

I suppose you've got to listen to something, so why not?

What about a tow bar and a caravan? Now that would be interesting.

The Brake Judder has nearly gone, whether I've worn the warped part of the disc away, or by some miracle managed to straighten it out through a clever braking talent I never knew I had, who knows!

But... I think its getting near the time to change the brakes, especially with the 'Ring and other Track Days / Road Trips looming. So it's only right to upgrade as we go. I'll be getting a 2 piece floating setup Twisted Evil

goodbye fade!

Current Braking Shopping List:
RBF660 fluid
Goodridge Braided Lines
330mm AP Racing Rotors
Badger 5 5x100 LCR Bells
Badger 5 Carriers
Brake Pads are TBC, either Carbotech XP8 Pads, Ferodo DS3000's or EBC Redstuff Pads.

With upping the power and the handling, I thought the standard 4 pot brakes with some better pads and discs would suffice. But after getting a fair bit of fade during track use I need to upgrade as they just get too hot and the fluid boils too. With this setup, the fluid's boiling point is much higher than current, the pads are up for more of a beating, the rotors stay cooler, and the setup is lighter than standard.

Just need to find some 17" lightweight wheels that will fit over them and paint them stupid red too! Very Happy

Forgot to post these. Here's a few pics of the brakes: And a link drivertuition.com/Leon...Brakes.htm Pics will be taken this weekend when I'm home and after I've cleaned it. Brakes will be done before March hopefully

Hope so. Although at the moment it needs new tyres, the brakes and an ABS sensor wire sorting

Cheers bud, it's entertaining to say the least! Can be a bit of a handful but all good fun. It's nice suprising cars that should be much quicker too Razz

The weekend saw a quick clean, changed the front bushes to polybushes and ordered a new ABS sensor to cure the fault it's decided it would like to keep for a while.

Just priced the brake setup up properly:

Need to order it all soon as i've only got a couple of mm on the pads currently.

I may be able to get the spacers thrown in with the Ally Bells, will have to see Very Happy

Cheers bud, Aye, took it last year but it was almost standard, with just coilies, tyres, brake pads, open filter and dump valve. was about 228bhp and 234lb ft. This time round it's a bit more powerful, has better handling, slightly lighter (I've lost 4 stone and the car about 60kg) and better brakes. Should make it more interesting
