So I had a play this weekend with my new toolbox!
Toyo Proxies T1R 205 55 R15
MTEC Gold coated brake discs F + R
EBC Greenstuff pads F + R
Carrier bolts were SO tight, I had to do this:
Very corroded rear discs:
And after bedding in:
(gold coating only stays on the area without pad contact to prevent corrosion.) Got some stuff ordered today to take the calipers off for a clean and a coat of some satin black next weekend which should smarten them up a lot!
Car feels a lot better to drive, had a little run in for 15-20 miles to be cautious, tyres have mixed reviews but I've had them several times before on my 106 Rallye and was very happy!
Cant wait to get all the suspension on now to complete the handling package!
Cheeky hole in the center resonator has also ‘ forced’ me to book the car in for a full custom stainless set of pipes! Cant wait for a little extra rasp although I won’t be going ridiculous.
ONWARDS!
