Few pics of new wheels/brakes and bumper

Dave MGT · 27-12-09, 04:49 PM

Few quick pics i took the otherday after fitting the new wheels (OZ Ultraleggeras with Yokohama Parada 2 tyres). Wanted a lightweight set of wheel and these fit the bill!!! the weight differance over the straights is suprising. These only weigh about 6.8kg (think the std straights are around 9-10kg...)

New front bumper (Thanks to Jay and before anyone says, I havent lined it up yet...lol)

Willwood 4 pots fitted (thanks again to Jay)

Blead them today after fitting new nipples.
There fine but under heavey braking the backend locks!!! almost caught me out the 1st time. I have a abs fault atm and im sure thats the problem so will have to get it sorted very soon!
So with that and the weather i havent really had chance to try them properly.

Thanks for the comments guys!!

Looking good Dave. Bit gutted the brakes didn't stay on the Hot Wheels but i understand the agreement you and James had. The brakes are awesome when you finally manage to get em sorted and the weathers better. You don't get any fad under heavy braking or that god aweful noise either. not sure were your going for pads dude but the ones i had on there when you swapped the brakes over were defo the best. I tried 3 sets before i found the right ones and i think they were the ferodo stuff. Anyway if your in any doubt contact Grant at GB-Enterprises and he'll be able to tell you. Enjoy.

Yeah the pads are getting low on the inside, still got a bit of life left though. I was going to go for the d2500 which are the ones you had in there iirc.
Cheers Murrey. Hows the M3 doing...?
