VTISmichael Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Wheels are primed! Also had trouble getting front brake pads, i went to both Allparts and old bucks auto and they had none in stock anywhere! The bloke at Allparts said the 242mm pads are discontiuned but luckly i have the other size 262mm The rear bearing came and the front pads are finally on there way! Mot at the end of the month!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Bit of work done today, fitted my front brake pads and after realizing i dont have rear discs lol i gotta send the bearing hub back. Also i cut 1 and half coils off the rear springs and its not enough really but i think if i have stuff in the back it will be lower and wont sag down i dunno. Oh i got rid of the falling to bits hub caps, looks good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 You know I haven't even checked what my Accord has in the even of a flat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I was quite surprized it was a spacer saver. Got 2 decent 5mm tread part worn tyres fitted now, so much cheaper than new ones. Garages these days want 60 quid fitted bloody stupid considering its a mass used tyre size or maybe 14" wheels dont get used anymore..
