Probably easier if you just re-sign up and search him for the time it takes mate.

Don't know for sure it's even the guy you're after mate, and there is only an option to pm him. He doesn't use the forums anymore either, well not that I've seen in at least a year.

Progress made on the Brembos.

Started with a steam clean



Then took them out to my uncles bench wheel



These came out better than imagined, not metal polished yet they were corroded and rank... a night in cilit bang ftw



Next is to key up and smooth any inconsistencies on the calipers, then I'll remove the lines and get them ready for paint.

These brakes although look quite soiled, actually are in great nick, far better than my first set on my Saxo before paint. Seals, all bleed nipples in place, even the pads were basically brand new. It wouldn't surprise me if they had a recent refurb.

I also last night ordered a full set of Toyo T1Rs... I was going to get Good year eagle F1 assymentric 2's but the wait time I cannot wait. Plus they are nearly 130 more than I paid for the t1rs so... happy days.

IMO not much difference between the level of grip.

[Jamie]

After the faf I've had with my wheels I've decided to go and purchase some brand new direct fitment alloys again in 16"s.

They also are not black, which means the black theme is off. Might buy some black zunsports grilles still though.

[Jamie]

Well this morning these arrived...



Full set of T1R's to go with my new alloys (hoping to take delivery tomorrow)

[Jamie]

For those that give a shit, new alloys.

16" Speedline Turini 2120 white brand spankers...

[Martijn_M]

Awesome! Should look good

[Pricklep]

Jamie the big spender you

[Gandi699]

Althought they arent my favourite, Turinis are one of the best wheels out there. They suit pretty much any car

I had to get shot of the team d's, they weren't perfect and after all that whooo harrr I thought they weren't worth the effort. Not to mention in my home town there are at least 4 other set's knocking about on other cars. Team d's are too common.

Turinis' are my all time favorite!

I agree bar the fact they're my all time fav ( : my most expensive set of wheels to date I believe. The Saxo should have had them as well but I was at uni lol.

Thanks mate,

Well here is what the car is looking like unitl tonight or tomorrow when I get my fronts fitted.

Had to send a wheel back as it wasn't perfect and as this all including tyres cost me over a grand I expect perfection.



Mascots



Better SLR overall shots to come when the cars sitting on them completely lol. It's funny rocking black team d's on the front and the turinis at the rear!

Needs lowering and s wheels.

[matt_vtr_15a]

Looks really good!!

Not tempted to try out the Toyo R1R's over the T1R's?

Just put some on the evo and love them!

Thanks mate, I almost went for those as it goes but I have many things sitting around which need fitting at cost and I need 2 new wishbones since my car had it's mishap! It's the lower part one side sits flush and the other where the bush sits isn't tight, however even though I only recently replaced one side I will still do both at the same time and tracking again.

I think next time I will give them a go!

I wasn't going to give them a go initially as a few of the evo lads have had issues with them cracking when subjected to low temperatures etc.

As i'll need to replace mine after summer anyway due to wear it shouldn't be an issue now winter has gone, definitely something to consider if they'll be on for say a year though and subjected to a cold winter.

Got a set of T1R's at home to bang on after summer once I have killed the R1RS, still a fan of the T1RS on the evo... Awesome in the dry just don't last very long

Hmm cracking isn't something that you want for sure, strange that's enough to put me off trying them, but as you say if you're going to replace them after the summer anyway you'll at least get an idea on how they perform and if the cracks will appear. Luckily it's warming up so you shouldn't have any issues if it's due to low temps.

That's the thing with T1r's especially with turbo'd cars... the fronts on my ST didn't last long at all with spirited driving but like you say in the dry they are spot on, certainly for the price of them.

Yeah seems hit and miss, but had several guys on MLR alone with issues when left exposed to the elements over winter.

Fortunately as the cold weather shouldn't drop below freezing now it shouldn't be an issue. If i'm honest, In the dry I can't push the evo a noticeable amount more on the R1RS in comparison to the T1RS but that's probably due to the car in question.

Do perform better in the wet though i must say however I prefer my spirited drives on a nice sunny day

Personally prefer the tread pattern of the T1RS to for some reason.

Anyway, cars looking good dude, glad the mishap hasn't proven to be too much of an issue.

Probably right tbh, it's got a lot of power! interesting you say they perform better in the wet, I am always looking for tyres that are good for the wet, like you say prefer sunny days for spirited driving but it's always nice to know you have something capable for all conditions (except for snow lol).


Cheers dude! it's been a bitch but must soldier on haha

Yeah there a pretty decent tyre in the wet, found myself on numerous occasions pulling out of my street arse end first (semi on purpose) when pulling out a little too quickly..

Not been as much of an issue on the R1R's, Might be worth looking at in the future as long as they can stand up to a cold winter.

That's jokes!

I'll see how you get on with them seen as you're already rocking them, they're certainly something I'd consider depending on how they stand up to the elements like you say!

[Jamie]

Who's going to have problems with hitting the deck when lowering 60mm? Me that's who lol that's why my car looks higher than it actually is in pics on my drive it's like a hill.

Anyways shit pics from the iphone will get better soon.





Valve caps & sleeves very posh haha. (before I cleaned the car)







A little later on...



This was all at like half 6/7 tonight haha. Ps I need a new numberplate double sided sticky thingy...

Enjoy

[Pricklep]

Hope them valve caps dont bond lol

Looks geat Jamie. Get the calipers on!
