Busy Day!!!

[XTR]

Mega Busy day...


Fitted my Ram Charger induction kit to the car...

Sounds nice.... not sure if its gave me any performance gains.... dont care though....







Then fitted my new grooved brake discs and pads...








Then fitted a new headunit.... -- with crap music!






Finished fitting my coloured door handles...





and finally.... put a new chrome grill into the car....





Roll on tomorrow when the car gets a polish and the insides hoovered out and then treat the leather interior!

Dont like the chrome grill

im unsure too... the only chrome bit is the edge... the rest has been sprayed silver..... im going to spray the centre of them black and leave the chrome edge.. the way they should be.

wooohooooo gave the brakes a good testing this morning coming to work.... VERY responsive!!! Alot better than the old ones.... Not sure if they create less brake dust as before... I'll find that out on Friday, as I usually wash the car every friday..... so i'll know if the wheels are in a worse state than previous weeks....

Why the RAM charger? Not sure of the grill either. Love the head unit, looks nice! The music is easy enough to change!

Why? well.... why not?

Love the handles, the Ram Charger looks quite good under the bonnet too...

Unsure about the grill, maybe swinging to the chrome grill, black mesh side of things...

How good would you rate the improvement in braking, I need new pads and discs, was looking at some Red-Dot 6 groove ones...

Nice Work BTW

PS - much damage to the insurance premiums ?

I wanna get a new headunit for my clio, I like that one but I am guessing I wouldlose the HUD if I got that unit right?

BTw, like the handles, where you get em from lol

grill would look better black in the center imo.

Well, all the grooves do is create slightly more friction, thus giving slightly better braking. But they do that by wearing the pads down quicker. So you may end up with more break dust, not less.

they also skim the crappy brake dust deposit/build-up from the pads

Kevlar brake pads have been chosen for all our brake kits as they perform exceptionally well, even from cold, are very resilient to pad glazing, have a very slow wear rate and produce very little brake dust. Available for all models.

Don't believe all K-tec say.. take it with a pinch of salt. Also the K-tec braking kits are VERY expensive for what they are. The pads are not very good for the road due to them being waaaaaaaay too hard unless you're driving on the track. There's some nice bits there but you would of done better to of read up on the discs and pads a bit more.
