My Silver EP3 CTR 2002

There is a big price difference and I wanted some HEL but I though I'll give Racetec a try. The quality so far of the Racetec seem really good. I haven't yet fitted them (still rebuilding calipers.) but once I have will let you know how i get on with them. Also read your thread some good work there mate.

Cheers mate. Wasn't too bad! took forever cleaning them trying to get the rust and old paint off. Still bedding in the new discs but so far the brakes feel good and haven't had any problems with the Racetec seem good so far! Nice bit of kit for the price.
 
a litre should be more than enough.

I made a right tit of bleeding mine this weekend with a home made pressure bleeding lid!
 
she failed her MOT yesterday. Needed lower ball joint, Tie Rod End, Wishbone and Tracking, Cost £485. I thought she would failed on the brakes as I rebuilt the calipers but they never which is bonus! Next is to service the car.

Got some Cree reservse bulbs, well bright!



 
Finally finished fitting lca and asr brace. Still need to fit lower tie bar(beaks). Didn't have time this morning!

Car on ramps, started removing bolts.



Gold LCA now install.



Had to use original bolts.





All fitted except beaks bar.







also I received my manifold today :)

Can't wait to fit it!
