Well its getting ever closer now to being driven thank lord!
Had to buy some finishing bits over this week. Still a few bits to get but nothing much now. heres some pics of the new bits.

Firstly was brake pads. After hearing a few bad things about hte EBC stuff i ended up going for the ferodo pads.

Got the brakes fitted today. All looking good now.
Had to have the stud holes jus topend up a few mm as they were to tight.
Luckily 1 street away a mate of mine sorted it.
So now i just need to insure it . But some stupid company took a huge direct debit out of my account which they shouldnt have. And now i have to wait for it to be re credited which was supposedly today. but its not in there. So ive had to make a rather temperd phone call!. it wont be ready for this weekend. But i should have my first maiden voyage in it next week!!! *whooppie fucking doooo*

Thanks to all the peeps who have helped and given me ideas. Big up to the boys at rifle range also :)

There Fiat Coupe 2.0 16v discs. there 284mm i beleive.
JUst have to get the holes drilled out by a few mm to make em fit nice.
Worst part is the pads cost more than the fecking discs. :P

you wont be doing castle coombe then, they wont allow slicks.

most tracks have banned them acctually, unless you have a motorsport licence or something, may just be for open days or something tho, but i know that castle coombe said a definate NO when i wanted to use mine

Whe you say "mine" Matt, do you mean the ones i bought of you?? Thought semi-slicks (ie road legal slicks) were ok to use :?
benji
28-07-05, 09:49 PM
