I won't be painting them afterall. They came up better than expected and after looking at how much would be exposed it doesn't really lend itself well to be coated in paint.

Cheers for the tip bud, will have a try of that next time I have a go Very Happy

Few quick phone pics of the brakes as we went along. When I've cleaned it up I'll post some showing them behind the wheels

Callipers need a repaint really. This will be done soon
 

 



Braided hoses
 

 



The old disc, the pads were practically on the backing plate. You can see where i rubbed a bit of the groove off with my finger. They had a ton of abuse and wasn't much left of them

I've been a tw*t and spent more money Confused

This time on nothing performance related
A glovebox liner so I can remove the standard 6CD Changer that lives in there doing nothing
A box of gadgets so I can fool the stereo into thinking my iPod is the CD Changer
Associated wiring so I no longer have to use a FM transmitter to listen to my music. Only downside is - it won't charge my iPod so I'll need to sort an in car charger for it and hardwire that in too.

I guess it is performance related, removing the weight of the changer Laughing

Purchase plans for the year (after the Solicitors stop pulling my pants down):

Wavetrac Differential
New Seats & Harnesses
Oil Cooler
Battery Relocation Kit

That'll do for really

Not sure if it does, but the oil temperature was hitting high 140°c around silverstone @ 280bhp, so will need a serious upgrade any how.

Yes they do, it's plumbed in with the Heater Matrix. Does the job well on a standard engine, but when you start doing work and the oil temp's rise, it struggles to cope. A Mocal Cooler kit is about £185 and gets plumbed in behind the "S" Badge on the front and I'll be picking an 85*C thermostat plate

Quick Update,

I've got a new aerodynamic undertray and side ducts / mounts currently waiting to be fitted, should go on this weekend. Short of an Oil Change and 2 new tyres it's now ready for the Nurburgring!! Laughing

When I get back from the ring I'll be ordering the LSD, New Seats and a few other goodies Very Happy
