    New pads went on last weekend and the coilies raised a little

    This weekend - longer studs and spacers as the wheels are now catching the locking rings (even with a 5mm slip on spacer)

    Have you got the tool for rear pad fitting (to wind the calipers in)?

    If so then I'll help out too if you help fit my new pads

    Lol, will update you nearer the time then (Never know - I might magically gain a job interview!) - But you'd better PM your address and when you want to start
    (And I'd better hope my pads have turned up!)

    Car is going in for its MOT tomorrow Just need to find a place that has 2 tyres in stock, eep

    Then I think once thats done its ready to be put back on the road

    Gonna see how much time I have this weekend, hopefully there will be enough for me to fit some S14 front brakes to the car and flush out the brakes, woop

    Mega excited, but at the same time getting very anxious as the car is still off the road and am quickly running out of time Must stay positive though, im sure it will all fall in to place...

    Why do I get the feeling that im going to be changing the brakes over AT the campsite

    Thats what its all about. The thrill of the chase

    Glad peoples have been in worse positions, it fills me with confidence ha ha. My only real concern is the fact it has no mot or tax atm, so if it dont pass MOT tomorrow, then chances are slim it will be ready... Panic stations tomorrow then lol.

    As soon as I have a ticket, im dissappearing to the post office to claim my new tax disc then i'll literally be skipping back to the car

    Still figuring out what brakes i got :S

    Felt a little fade after driving it on some deserted industrial lot.
    Tried a lot of highspeed, fast corners amd hard breaking, just for the fun of it.

    So now i want/need some new brakes/pads fitted . S13 tech for the topic.
