Help! I bought 288 calipers carriers discs and pads and they dont sit on the hub right! The discs hit the backing plate. Is there some sort of spacer required or am i missing something?

Top mounts now all fitted along with the new shocks. Going to try and free off the stock caliper rather than fit the 288 kit. It will give me a chance to give the calipers a good clean and possibly paint them (black,blue or red?) before they go on properly. Also gave it a good wash and waxed it with autoglym HD wax looks quite presentable now. Roll on saturday! :D

Got some top mounts from gsf and a nsf outer cv boot whilst i was at it as mine is split. Hopefully i can getthe struts back on now. Will also be picking up a 288mm brake kit tonight as my calipers are sticking.

Top mounts are wrong! They are for a non vr! Damn more expense, will try and get a refund from venom but if i cant top mounts for a non vr for sale!

Not going to stoner unfortunately. The car wont be ready until the 12th of june. :(

Yeah i just decided to do one mod at a time and will save up for some kw suspension. I got the boge shocks from GSF so not to bad for quality anyway. I just need some front tyres now and shes ready for the road! Cant wait to start driving it only got to wait until the 12th now :clap:

Got some standard shocks from gsf today, perhaps i can finaly do those top mount now!

Ordered some all red rear lights as well now. Debating going straight to coilovers but dont know if my budget will stretch to that yet, hmm decisions.....

Damn i thought this was going to smoothly! Whilst trying to remove the top mount nut on the drivers side (bloody nut would not budge even with 3 people trying to undo it) something had to give unfortunately it was not the nut but the strut itself which split itself down the threads! My dad has been a mechanic for 30 years and he has never seen a nut so tight that the strut gives first! So anyway i need a new front shock.:-(

Right, i have just fitted the jetex and it fits very well. It went on fine apart from me needing to cut a section off the pipe coming from the cat see pic to make it fit snug. Noise wise it sounds a bit deeper than oem on idle but not that much different tbh. I will be able to give a better review when i drive it and it has bedded in. Below are a few pics of the exhaust fitting process and one side by side shot of the original and the jetex. I am now going to fit the poly top mounts so more pics and info on how i got on to come!

Its the 2 box system which means it is louder, but a bit more power! First impressions on taking the jetex out the box is that it is a good quality sytem. The fitting kit looks comprehensive and the instuctions are clear. More of an update when i fit it at the weekend.

Jetex exhaust just turned up will fit it and the top mounts this weekend!

Have you got the kw v1's on yet mate? i am thinking of them for mine. :)

Top mounts have just turned up, they look good very solid and apear to be well made. No sign of the exhaust yet though!

Thanks for the info, i have heard good things about the kw's so i will probably get them. I did hear that rh zw1's are quite heavy is this right? Oh and greasegriff your storm looks ace, it has all the mods that i want to do to mine eventualy as well!

Thanks mate. I am thinking of rh zw1s for wheels and kw v1 for suspension. Does anyone have any experience with kw's or the rh's?

Put my name down please

Losing connection whilst in 2nd on lap 9 of 10 was particularly harsh though. Gutted for you but good racing. My mate who joined in enjoyed it as well, he could hear us but we couldn't hear him! :lol: Yeah that did annoy me, i was looking forward to some wheel to wheel action with you or kris. :(

Yeah mate it was weird that. My connection is pretty crap anyway, i am supprised it lasted that long to be honest!

Well it was good speaking to everyone. Some good racing too. Its just a shame i didnt finish, damn internet connection! :bad-words:

Just ordered a jetex 2 box system as the magnex is not available. I also ordered some supersport top mounts and a polybushed exhaust mount as well.

I am still good for 8pm

Woop! Fixed the bonnet cable, so i can now get to my engine!

Yeah i am ok for monday as well

Laguna sounds good. It is where i set up all my cars anyway!
