Decided to buy a SRI Blue interior so thats all sorted, electric windows have been done and central locking. Rear Headrest have been put in with the seat retaining clip things not just shoved behind the parcel shelf lol.

Just got to wire a remote central locking system up with an alarm now and some door pin LEDs as the door pins have been removed :D

Pics to follow tomorrow once i have put the blue door cards on :D

Oh and i've started to refurb the softstars i bought, the worse one has been done.

Just waiting for my suspension and steering boss to be delivered and John to pick up some white SRI dials.

Just ordered some 10mm Blue led's for the doors to replace the door pins that work alongside the alarm as i wanted it fully delocked.

Alarm is to be fitted hopefully next week, and i can get on with removing the door locks and get it prepped up for painting

i needed a spacer to clear TD pro race 2's but you may get a way with it, make sure they are thoroughly bled ie bleed each side of each caliper to make sure you get all the air out as it took some time to them on mine and use decent good quality pads!

i've had brembo's before fella, so i was persuming the same thing. I bled the brembos about 4 times each before they were pretty sound. just waiting to get my new wheels, braided hoses before i fit them.

Are they the same design internally as the brembos where you bleed the inner first then outter, then inner and outter again?
