after alot of debate i order NITRAC racing discs both front and rear (still waiting for rears should be here this week) i opted for the drilled ones as i prefer them:yawn:

also stripped cleaned and painted the calipers in yellow and added the xpower decals , when it came to pads decided to go with the redstuff as i cant fault them had them on alot of m y cars (greenstuuf to much dust and wear quick and yellow stuff to hard for street use)so still bedding brakes in but all looking good so far .

today my car was off to get the exhuast system done its been fitted with a 2.5'' system and just a back box (no middle box) have to say it looks and sounds awsome!

drool at the brakes!!! i want to go for some sort of brake upgrade too mate, they look the business specially with the yellow calipers, what paint did you use?

need to colour code the sensors and that would finish the rear nicely. oh and top marks for site advertising on the plates :D

does fitting the decat improve sound and performance by alot? do you need to replace it with the normal pipe for the next MOT?

i have a decat on my zs 180 and it still passed the MOT emissions because of the small pre cat that is built into the manifold
