What did you and your MKV do today?

[RedRobin]

@ graeme:

I think they are 330 x 28 mm (CP5200 kit). AP now offer their own pads which are reckoned to be better than the Ferodo DS2500. I've now got them on mine.



I hope this helps. You won't be disappointed with the AP's - Well proven and reliable

I got the BCS brakes that are also 330mm 4 pots and look identical to the ap brakes. Was kind of sceptical about them looking a little small at first but they are bigger than i thought if yours are 330mm

What did I and my car do today? - Yesterday I took my car to the local jet wash - The kind with the handheld jet hose from a machine you stick a £1 coin in.

BEFORE - Surprising how the OZ titanium colour still looks okay when filthy (IMO):



AFTER - Just a handheld jet rinse, no brushing or cleaning:



My car attracts a lot of attention - All very positive. I was approached and the car admired by no less than 3 different people while there.

as you say red they look as good dirty as clean, very useful with the roads the way they are just now, I like the pressure washers that run with a pound at a time as you don't have to bolt round the car like the normal ones,,, hate the normal ones.

Yesterdays I fitted my R32 pedals and today I did the gear knob. Also have a footrest cover on order

Fitted my front and rear Eibach anti roll bars

Front was alot easier than I thought it was going to be. Getting it aligned on Friday so finally get the chance to see what a difference, coilovers, polly bushes, WALK and anti roll bars make

found it, how much badge did you want?


Thanks for looking

[RedRobin]

found it, how much badge did you want?

....Enough to recognise it was a VW badge, which both those shots show 

[monte]

what size of brakes are you running RR ? they look good but i was sure that you had vw racing brakes on yours? 

....I probably would have had VWR brakes if I hadn't been offered the AP's by them back in 2006. Size? Dunno without a search (will search if you would like to know, mate) but they just fit the Monza 17's:



The OZ Alleggerita 18's are very lightweight and designed to maximise the brake ventilation/heat dissipation - I'm not fussed if the discs look small inside the wheel.



AP racing fronts plus S3/R32 rears (Thanks, DaveB!) are a very powerful and well balanced combo for fast road use on my Stage 2 K03 GTI.

Nearly 7 year old brakes though Robin!!!

Don't you think it's about time you bought a newer set-up....and sell me the AP's???

....Nice try, Carlo!

The discs and pads aren't 7 years old and the brakes have just as much stopping power as 7 years ago. So if it ain't broke, don't mend it.

Today I finally got a set of Nokia's WR A3's fitted to my Classix.

Just hurt my baby 

Didn't see a flood on a dark light a road!

Did a 360 and hit a mud verge!

So I'm in need of a front splitter

Luckily only the middle section of my standard front splitter came off,

If anyone knows of one around I have funds waiting!

Not a good experience

[Nodz]

Sorry to hear that fella, lucky its only the front splitter by the sounds of things. IIRC its only cheap from the dealers ~£60 i think

[nathangallo]

Just didn't see it! Wasn't going to quick only 40-50

Car just needs a good clean new front splitter and click the back bumper on a tad and its all ok! Could have been a lot worse was Inches away from a sign and trees

left it on the drive and took the Fabia for a run

how do you find the difference in the 2 cars ?

The Fabia is tweaked as far as the std car will go - 189bhp & 333 lb/ft. It's a good bit quicker in the gears, and handles so much better. But I sold it today! Gives me £3000 to spend on other things!!!

[Polo6n1600i]

I've got one of the xenon-look Depo headlights & my sidelights are down beside the indicators. So I thought I'd replace the std side light bulbs with orange ones! Instant USA look! Pics tomorrow, it's a bit dark now!
