SamN Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 f**k doing that drive for a set of wheels! Can't a local member collect and courier them for you? Some couriers do a drop in service! I'd do it if I was closer but Oxford is an hour from me. My little sister goes to uni there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Ad- Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Nice! Like the new wheels they are much better than the others! The refurb freshened those up but the 95s will look so much better!

Jamie330d Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Fitted my big brake kit today Had a few problems fitting them, had to cut the back plates so they cleared the discs, the rear carrier bolts were badly corroded so were just rounding, the pads were a fraction of a mm to long so had to be modified, one of the bleed nipples had been cross threaded into the caliper so wouldn't stop leaking, eventually we bled it up then blocked the nipple off with a weld because we couldn't get another nipple in, and had to replace the brake pipes due to corrosion and them snapping whilst trying to fit the stainless flexi's. Overall they look good so I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momo Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Fitted my big brake kit today Whats going on with the top of the wheel arch in this pic? Looks like paint has already come off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L333JSA Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Should really have checked the calipers over before attempting to fit them especially since they were an 'unknown' - you could have had the bleed nipple re-tapped or helicoiled. I take it you're not impressed by them since you only mention that they 'look good' rather than perform well? ....and as Momo said...WTF is going on with that arch....never mind the paint looks like a load of filler has come out...looks pretty deep?

The wing is damaged, because its on those s**t wheels they caught the inside of the arch, bent the metal and cracked the filler, they're sorting it for free I just need a day that I'm off so I can leave the car with them, they're also going to sort a small bit on the back bumper. I can't really check how well the perform because I only finished fitting them late last night and I believe its 50 miles to run in new pads before driving hard on them as they won't bed in properly. The thread was pretty much totally gone from the caliper which is why it wasn't helicoiled, the weld works and does exactly what I need so I'm not fussed, realistically they were only £400, if they were totally f**ked then I'd be pissed off but given what I paid can't expect them to be perfect. Working and safe but not perfect. I have a young son who goes in the car, if I thought for a second these weren't safe they would be removed right away and standard kit put back on.
