Novait (ben aswell?) Yeah i'll be bring it!
Got to get some fuel pipe tomoz to replace the breather pipe, while i'm there i'm getting a new fuel filter, gonna replace some of the old pipe work to and from the pump too. Tidy everything up a bit under there. Hoping the new filler pipe work comes too.
wanna pick some things from my Nova Benn? a
Its a 1.2 isnt it?
yup. But various bits of rubber should be an ok fit, and as you can customize anything shouldnt be a big job.
A few week ago i bought a brake kit from Mr fly, this came with Ford discs in four stud. So i got a brake disc catalogue from work to find out a matching vx disc...
After some measuring from Dan (cheers dude) we found a set and i picked them up...
Size looks good..

homo, posted on mig, but dont think you are meant to paint the mounting surface of a brake disk!.
Allways done it... Have done the same on all the wheels i've repainted too...
Ok mate, few posts on mig now, just thought id let you know, as it can lead to 'problems'!
Yeah, i'll keep an eye on them, not had a prob before tho. But cheers.
Nice one, nothing worse than your new brake discs going rusty in a week and looking crap!
Yep yep.
Painted my callipers up too ready to fit at the weekend...

Cheers dude, i do keep trying to get to it..lol
Car all back up and running now. And feel like its got a bit more poke, maybe from changing the fuel pump.. I don't know. But it seems to go better. Our run to dirty bird last night was faster and more fun, with a tiny bit of lighting up the tyres too...lol
Gsi bumper re fitted, Leather cleaned and fed. Smells lush. New style png stickers fitted too.
Good work.
Cheers James, she went very well on the way to the Mig meet. Lighting up comming off the roundabout beautifully.
Sticky update..lol
After getting a puncher in old of my rear tyres and working out i had some spare funds, i bit the bullet and have got brand new Toyo T1rs fitted to my painted rims.
Big thanks to Paul at Protyre, Fareham 01329220743 for sorting me out a great deal.

Started fitting them at 8:30am.. Just as it started to piss with rain..
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...Toyotyres2.jpg
Got soaked fitting them...
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23.../Toyotyres.jpg
Even in the rain they are much more grippy, in the dry they are great 100% better than the a359s.
So i'm very happy with them.
Top tyres :)
A539's are pap IMO.
I was happy with them at first, but that was then it was xe driven, but they just wouldn't grip with the let power.
The Toyos are mucho better :)
Off to wash it for now the png meet.
Tried to tell you the a539s were pap in the grand scheme of things.
You didn't fancy going 195/40 then?
I'm on 195/40/16, toyo's, great tyres!
Whats the price difference between 40's & 45's. Is it really worth it?
Yeah i know now, they did start off good tho, at Combe they where utter poo.Quote:

Cool.Quote:

195/40/16 Toyos are just under £70 each :)
But you still gotta add fitting to that, all 4 where £240 all in.
Just cleaned my leather too, smells sooooooooooooooo lush!

Its soooo nice. Going to fit the new png stickers too...
