Anyways yesterday I did some more work on the Rallye. I fitted my pug sport High tensile stud and nut conversion, touched up the calipers that I ground down (probably will redo them as they're still not 100% perfect, that's how we roll yo)! I fitted my new wish bone bolts too, so they're all hunky dory now.
I also finished P clipping the brake liness in with Stainless P clips. Added one more on the rear bulkhead to secure it more tidily - no pics of that as yet but will sort some soon.

Here's the pics anyway.

Wheel stud kit (front only until I can afford the rears!):

Bit of thread lock on them to ensure they don't work loose (they are screwed in very tightly but this is how you're meant to fit them):

All done:

Masked off the caliper to paint it (you can see the finished result in the pic above):

New wishbone bolts:

All fitted:

Will get some snaps of the brakes lines soon!

very smart

looking good

Lewisimo · 6th September 2009, 19:08

cheers bro!

Lewisimo · 6th September 2009, 19:18

Oh I also took another few mm off the brakes prior to touching them up, so there is plenty of clearance now for them

Colin · 6th September 2009, 21:53

Proper studs

SNAP! (not as in break lol)

Car looks epic dude, keep it up!

Lewisimo · 11th September 2009, 18:14

Yea you get what you pay for, these are the proper one's for the job! Last thing I want to do is risk a wheel falling off due to a snapped cheap ass wheel stud.

Anyway some more updates last night. I finally took delivery of my top hose from Spoox (4 week lead time as it was made to order). Had to cut it down as it was too long but it's all fitted now and looks great - just need some decent hose clips to secure it each end. Also received my 120 degree fitting from earls to secure the return fuel line to the bulkhead connector so fitted that too - fits perfect! Pics below:

And an overall snap of the bay, getting there!

This is car porn imo...

Colin · 11th September 2009, 19:19

Yeah these studs are the best. I got the same with the tapered nuts. £200! Car looks the nuts dude!

AlexR · 11th September 2009, 20:35

I just bought a stud and nut kit also, cost a little less than the pugsport kit. Hopefully my wheels don't fall off :o

Get yourself some stainless mikalor hose/exhaust clamps, they are where it's at. I'm rocking them on all of my coolant hoses now!!!

I love the attention to details Lewis, same as the Saxo.

The brakes are beautiful. But Im just really not feeling those wheels. I know you like them and all. I think some Mag Speedlines (2020s) would look the bomb on this car. Your car is mental so you may as well buy them. Oh thats imo by the way.
