The fact that it's costing £53.
And yeah it would, I'm just gonna pop out to the car to see if it will be too close, or if it will actually be a benefit.

[adamskiTNR]

It's looking good. It brings it close enough so that i can have my thumbs in the grips and rest my elbows on the side bolsters of my seat just nicely. I will have to take it off to get in though. Ah well it was never gonna be practical haha

[adamskiTNR]

Just purchased my new brakes a minute a go off Webby. (Thanks a lot btw)
Some 266 calipers and pagid blue pads. Should get the tin stopped in no time.
Will get some pictures up when they arrive. I'm gonna give them a good wire brushing and then paint them up in red. Then get some grpN discs and jobs a good'n

[gsavill90]

You'll love those brakes
The group N discs are a must.

I have them with the standard pads and discs, and they're very good. They are a bit soft.. but it only really bothers me when i need to brake hard For normal driving they're fine

But yeh, you'll love them with those pads, and a new master cylinder

Yeah they should give a bit more confidence knowing that i'm actually gonna stop for the corner lol

[samueljonburgess]

this is coming together really well
see how long it takes before you get a wog box in there with you on long trips lol

[adamskiTNR]

Wog box? is that a vtr box? im such a noob haha

[samueljonburgess]

no one of the big cd players that black people used to carry on there shoulders haha

[adamskiTNR]

Oh i see. Did think it was a slightly inappropriate name for a gearbox lol.
And i already have that planned out. Got an ipod dock that plugs into cigarette lighter for the road trips. Whack it in the glovebox. done.
Just don't corner too hard and the ipod shouldn't be killed haha

[samueljonburgess]

haha thats exactly what i was guna do, but i hardly listen to the radio/music at the moment so carbon fibre blank ftw

[adamskiTNR]

You mean alloy dash panel ftw

[samueljonburgess]

as good as it looks i cbb to move all the switchs... a cheeky bit of carbon fibre cant go a miss

[adamskiTNR]

Got some more high tensile bolts today for the second set of side mounts so i got those mounted.


And another angle i haven't photographed before, thought some may be interested to see.


Then i got all the loom and new fuel line p clipped into place. And got all the loom infornt of the seats wrapped in fabric tape to stop them being damaged or covered in dirt by feet etc.






And the last pic, if your wondering, i have wrapped the fuel line in a strip of towel and taped it up to raise it off the floor and stop chaffing.

Almost there everyone.
(well at least for phase one )

[adamskiTNR]

Ok the vtr alloys will be back on the cards next week once i get paid. I've got to stop impulse buying and get rid of my mismatch steelies.

[SaxoIOW]

looking so good! I cant wait to get my cage, ordering it from geronimo tomorrow Then i want to save up for cobra monaco pros or monaco s and sidemounts.

[adamskiTNR]

Would you get the monaco's in leather or fabric? The leather ones do look really nice if your not going down the hardcore route

[SaxoIOW]

I would get them in the fabric. Although i am soo tempted by these, would go so well my red/black theme:

[adamskiTNR]

They are tasty. Not too much red. You should go for them. They will match the super t's well.

[SaxoIOW]

Yea i need to save some cash first, all adds up when you include subframes, sidemounts, and harnesses

[adamskiTNR]

Yeah harnesses are a bitch. what harnesses are you getting. 4/6 point? rotary buckle/ road buckle
