LloydMB Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Hi guys. you may remember about 7weeks ago I posted pictures of my Orleans blue mb3 project, the cars now just gone over 28k now. so after speaking to many insurance companies and finding the policy I'm going with, I've started buying parts to start the build early May time. so this week I bought, where to start. Meister r zeta s coilovers mb6 hub swap with calipers cyberspeed LCA's Mb6 Arb 1 inch MC hel braided brake lines mg zs spoiler (needs painting) honda mist spray windscreen washers vti front lip (needs painting) handbrake cables due to only having drums on the rear. i've also got a backbox being made as my old one snapped, will be paired with my 2.25 inch stainless system with decat. i've also fitted my Jordan wheels just for the mean time. things needed still, a set of black 16 inch alloys with good tyres ideally the accord sport. new discs and pads extended top mounts. what would people recommend for discs and pads?? Thanks for your time. Edited June 4, 2016 by LloydMB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Wow! nice list of parts! Best thing you'll ever buy is those MeisterR's mate! Can't wait to see those fitted! Wish i could see your face the first time you take her for a drive with those fitted cos it's like driving a totally different car! Did you buy them through the forum? She's going to be one sweet MB3 with all the new bits, looking forward to seeing this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm extremely excited, with any luck it will all be fitted in over a week, so can't wait to see the difference it'll make. no I didn't get them through the forum, a guy on Facebook (Paul King) breaking a turbo'd mc2, had only over 1500 miles or so. Paid £500 so didn't think it was too bad. Have you got any opinions on discs and pad? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other people haven't been so lucky! Yeah that's the thing, I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about them. after spending so much money on parts, brakes are something I don't want to buy just because they may be slightly cheaper than others although I had pagids on my old mb and they worked well.

LloydMB Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 So I've been thinking about buying the gearbox from the d14 or d16 due to the shorter gears? Would it make much of a difference? I'll do a new clutch and flywheel at the same time and would a lightweight flywheel be worth the money on a d15z8? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi thanks, really trying to just make it nice and subtle. as far I know it's only the mb6 and mc2 that comes with 1inch, due to the bigger brakes.
