Part 5 New Wheels and Brakes + TPS problem

The Car started to rev it's self to around 5k and cut out regulary. i thought it origionaly could of been the stepper motor because how else would air get in? because the butterfly was shut. I however took my TPS of my vtr and put in on the gti engine. This worked first time! YEY!



MoT time is geting near and my 17" are a pain in the arse with all the rubbing. Evan tho ive done so much arch work. They are also foling the body work. aka fail mot!

because of the profile of the tyre i was on the limit and looking at 120quid a tyre. so that would of been 240 for the front two as they where on the limit!

After takin the car out one day and almost killing my self due to brakes been fked. i decided to buy new front and back disks as well as some new alloys.

here is my old brake...



New wheels Arrived 500quid with tyres



last time on 17" alloys



So me and my dad started taking the old brakes of. And puting the new ones on. along with the new alloys

for some reason the locating bolts diden't want to come out. so i drilled them of lol!



For some reason in this pic my saxo looks real high at the back. it aint really just depends where abouts it's parks "lvl of ground"



new 15" are great but handerling aint as good on nice smooth roads better handerling on bumpy roads lol!

i can also use full lock now YEY!!

More to come!
