Smoke.. Jees. Brakes do take time to bleed theirselves in that little bit, so i found. Do you have braided hoses now mate?

I must have special driving talent I'm just confident at some of the lanes around here

I haven't got braided hoses yet, but the disc is scored and I'm 99% sure it's warped.

Brakes are now behaving themselves. Think I just un-knowingly swapped the pads and discs over so had to re-bed themselves in.

After much persuasion I've now de-badged the rear. Makes polishing alot easier!





Love it, car has been getting looks left right and centre, very happy with the choice of wheels

It's a 1.6. Only 100bhp standard. Not sure if they're any good on gains tbh. But I'm thinking about some light engine work. Certainly looking into getting some tarty bits for it rather than a standard dirty engine bay!
