To be honest still worth it as it's alot cheaper than rivals. Has better fitment and has holes for adjusting the spoiler pre drilled

yeah, that sort of thing bothers me a bit but as long as it doesnt rattle,

supposedly an ep2 brakelight inside the glass can be used

i believe this is what i bought http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ring-Automotive ... B00CAK5YCM
not sure will have to dig it up

comes with stick pads on the end in which you stick it behind the window and then just wire it in.

[jonezy]

meh, tbh think i can do without. not like i ever see the brake light

[FunkyRemix]

not like i ever see the brake light

But you want the person behind to see it!

I fitted a similar version with my Seibon spoiler and happy with quality etc car builder solutions or something

[jonezy]

Looking into the ep2 light as a more rattle free and oem looking solution

Update

-Tgm sport frsu
-Grooved front brake discs
-4 yokohama A048R tyres fitted
-Brakes all bled with rbf 600
-Trackday booked :cooldude:

First of visited TGM in fleet again to try and sort out my tracking issues. Went there with camber bolts fitted but after inspection by the team they found that the latest design in meister r coilovers had elongated holes at the top of the strut.

Tom then said that the best option now would be fitting standard bolts and pushing the hub in as much as possible and gunning the bolts up tightly as possible. He did also mention that the downside with this is that should i hit a very large pothole very hard it could possibly alter the camber settings.

If i was to want more adjustability the tie rods would need modifying for sure

Pit stop on the way



Standard bolts re-fitted




Ordered these brake disc of ebay and to be honest im quite happy with the service. Bought of a ebay seller called Brake depot. They are only to last me until funds are available for a BBK. Only downside is i should of painted the center as after washing the car it has turned brown



Old Honda discs 60k miles i reckon :bigthumb:





Yokohama A048 225/45/17
Test fit no scrubbing on rear :WOOT





Brands hatch booked up for a evening session at the end of July which i am greatly looking foward to.
Have yet to track the car with the diff coilovers and tyres

Those tyres are sooooo good!!! Just have to make sure you get them well upto temp before really leaning on em!! Aim for 30f/28r hot pressures and you cant go wrong!!! You running a baffled sump??

thanks for that.....need some advice on pressures too. Any idea what cold temperatures to begin with

and yes running a clockwise motion baffle insert :bigthumb:

[*nub*]

think I sold 4 of those tyres recently, £150 part worn

Id start at 26f/22r cold have good 10-15min session come in and check pressures and adjust accordingly. If you look on the edge of the tread near the sidewall there are some small triangles, if your pressures are somewhere near right you should be running right upto or onto the triangles.

[Lewisgame]

I like to run a little more pressure in the rears as previously stated. Helps with understeer.

[JDP]

I run quite a bit of rear toe out for that but yea its down to chassis setup and driving style i guess :bigthumb:

isnt the triangle a wear indicator ?

or do you mean it would be making contact on the road if at right pressures?

[JDP]

You should see that the tyre ia running on the road upto or onto that little triangle if your pressures are correct

Update

Had a trackday last week at Brands hatch Indy circuit.

Was a brilliant evening with great weather (late 20 degrees) warm asphalt.....warm tyres.
Got to use the Yokohama A048's at last which were amazing, started them of at 26 psi cold and worked just right, once warmed up they were around the 30-32 psi mark.

The car was brilliant all the modifications that were done had been fitting in to the puzzle just great. It was the first time i had been out on track since June 13 also at brands and could notice the extra grip provided from the M-factory LSD and tyres instantly.

Only real fault from the car was that one of the shifter cables decided to pop off just before ' graham hill bend '
Ended up having a gear knob which did nothing at all except flop around.

Had to put it on the grass. At first i feared for the internals of my gearbox until i realized that the car was still in gear and no weird noises could be heard. A marshal then opened a gate so had to move the car up to the gate and back to pits.

Had to move off in 3rd gear and up a hill :bad-words: Clutch wasn't happy. Once in the garage i saw the shifter cable had come off and was missing a cotter pin managed to make my own cotter pin with some old coat hanger or something.

All sorted and then was back out for next session, only pain was i kept burning myself trying to work on the car when its just come of track

Brakes did me ok but i have slightly warped the discs again and the pads are slightly glazed a BBK is high on my list of things to do. hopefully a Stoptech BBK will come up for the right price

Anyway heres some pics

Give the brakes a week or 2 of general driving. Mine always vibrate a lot after a track day. I think you'll find it's pad deposits on the discs causing the vibration. It does clean off after a while. Although now I'm running sintered pads it doesn't happen as much.

[shaRRpy]

Always wanted to do brands,was it an evening session if so did it go by to quick.whats the drive by noise limit?
Car looks great especially on the team dynamics.

[SeanEP3]

looks excellent, glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah it has reduced a bit now. Thinking of making some brake ducting for it and hopefully try it out at snetterton or bedford in September
