That's not far away from me at all, didn't know anywhere local that did mapping, when do you plan on having mapped then? I'll be keeping an eye on this progress thread.

Sounds good, would rather have good suspension/brakes than a good engine

jonnyb2b · 21st June 2011, 22:37

That's it, wit only tyres and brakes keepin u on the black stuff, and not drivin like a complete twat,...not all the time anyways!! Cheers mate! Will try an turn them rnd ASAP as dyin to get them on, shame u might not see that well under the 205's!! End the summer though il try get them cams sorted aswell, every1 loves more power!!

The old girl never really stood a chance against a Range Rover........new head light here and a wing will sort monday, hockey stick seems ok, a weeks time and back on with sorting the brembos,...these frog made saxo's are easy/cheap as chips to fix though.

Compbrake received the other day thanks to vtracer, so i fitted today and its made a nice differance so happy with that! Brembo's painted and just waiting for stickers, xanita discs and wheel spacers to arrive this week and there be going on! Thanks to swampy aswell for the brake lines, great bit of kit! Pics are abit shit, and its rain on the caliper not shit in the paint!! More pics soon fitted!!

Jon

Jyxo · 21st July 2011, 17:07

Those brakes look huge, how low do you plan on going on the back? and did you find a new wing? I'm finding it impossible to find any parts in ezrc paintcode.

jonnyb2b · 21st July 2011, 20:34

They only 406 coupe brembo's, finally got them on today. not lowered and not really bothered bout lowering. Still waiting for my brembo stickers. Happy with them they feel great but just started to get brake squeal from passenger side even with xantia discs after bout 15miles, aagghhhh!! Got wing from A5 car salvage, pretty good colour match when clean so cant complain for £30!!! Will get some better pics of the car cleaned soon, also need to track down some cheap VTS alloys!! Long may the modding continue!!

Jon

jonnyb2b · 22nd July 2011, 21:41

Just a few lil pics bit more clean now!! See the slight diff in colour with 2nd hand o/s/f wing but hay ho looks alrite. Just cams to try and fit now and re-map dastek, then plenty more spankin the old girl around mk!!

Jon

rick_VTR · 21st August 2011, 19:08

were the 406 brembos a straight fit mate?

are the speedlines 15"? did you need spacers?

cheers, ricky.

jonnyb2b · 21st August 2011, 21:33

Yeah the brembos bolt straight on! 15" 205's and 20mm spacers!! Wicked bit of kit apart from the noise under light breakin!!

Jon

italianjoe · 29th August 2011, 00:28
