JWM330CI Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Looking good! might have to do my calipers this weekend. Where did you get the paint and what paint did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannockwolf Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Looking good! might have to do my calipers this weekend. Where did you get the paint and what paint did you use? i bought some silver brake caliper paint off ebay, but it was a year ago now, it has metal in the paint so you have to keep shaking it to get the metal suspended, quite good actually, it had a spray can for dissolving the brake crud off first too, trouble is its in a plain box no branding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

analbeard Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) I've looked at the photos quite a few times and I'll be honest, I don't like it at all, to my mind it's a rep at the end of the day. Having said that, I can appreciate the work that's gone into it, the quality of workmanship is fantastic.

das_flo Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Lovely! Only thing from me, I think the front plate could do with being moved down ever so slightly. Cannockwolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannockwolf Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 it's only on with velcro atm, when i get the new plate im fixing it with screws where the holder normally bolts on to the bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannockwolf Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Just using the enco for now, as I understand it my midrange and treble should be better, I'm not a bass junkie so I should see some improvement plus I still have the rears as factory for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannockwolf Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Huntet 4 wheel balance done today, terraclean Booked to tomorrow, I've zero'd the mpg counter for the drive to newcastle-under-lyne Edited July 27, 2012 by Cannockwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannockwolf Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Terraclean done, cant say it feels much different but i did most of the journey on the motorway so ill pass on judgement for now, but as for MPG there was a result, I drove the same way in both directions and didn't spare the horses both journeys, tbh on the journey home there was more traffic so it was up and down on the power more so the results should be against the terraclean if anything EDIT: After 2-3 weeks i took the car to Wales for the day and i can say there are improvements in how smooth the car feels in acceleration, it was definitely on top par yesterday, couldn't feel it in short trips but the long run out made it evident to me.

Trevor Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Can you update this as you get more info please? Mines done very similar mileage, 59k and wondering if this will help me. I do a 50 mile commute every day so would benefit from an increased mpg. Currently sat at 34.4 mpg over the few weeks I've owned it.

Cannockwolf Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) yep i intend to, last time after my remap i didn't reset the mpg for 1.5 years so will do Edited August 12, 2012 by Cannockwolf RickyZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Wow if you get 9mpg more its def worth the money, will be interesting to see how this turns out long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
