Brake discs are on and new refurb kit and still my getting the same squeeking as before. am starting to think its coming from the back.

I did get to test the brakes yesterday. not paying attention and nearly going through a red light, in the rain and still stopped me pretty quick and i was actually suprised the abs didn't need to get used.

Seen these mirror caps and impulse shopping took over  never really been in to carbon mirrors but i think they look no bad.


Just noticed a massive chunk out my door aswell. pretty annoyed but am going to get it resprayed at the end if the year anyway, as the stone chips on the front are pretty bad and annoys the hell out of me when am polishing/waxing her.

Check the dust cover behind the disc and see if it's catching or loose. Mine did this on the back and it had rusted on the bolt holes and became loose.

Hope this solves it.

Had the full front end painted and got rid of the stone chips. Both wheel arches aswell as they were starting to rust. Nice job but my pics are crap i was in a rush lol.

Also had 2 new rack ends and fully tracked finally sorted. And a new battery.

Ah been trying to find one for a while! Don't know why but think it looks 10x better just gives a bit more character to the rear end :)

Small update.

Didn't really need it but the service was due.

So usual got changed oil and all filters including fuel filter.

Cam follower which the old one had hardly any wear. Dv and pcv also got done.

Also got some subframe spacer kit fitted finally.

I was kind of reluctant but i took it to a good indy i've been using for years which are great but i lost the FVWSH. I don't trust the stealers and they are all arnold clark about here, so no chance i was giving them the car.

Everything i planned on doing to the car is done now so getting bored  itching to do somthing with it lol.

Rs3 is shouting my name
