Cleaner.......NEEDS new gear stick leather!

Right, So after all that, I was finding out how to change my throttle cable, Then i realised my brake mechanism was leaking!

I think its the Master Cylinder?!

Now that this has broke, I will need to save more for my Front set up :( Its all needed for Stanford Hall!

Just looks like grease to me... theres meant to be lots of it

you would know if it was fluid.

Also, its not the master, its the servo. Although they are attached

just looks like grease to me too - youd know if it was leaking as it would be spraying your feet when you press the pedal :lol:

mark the resivour on you are car .. Then pump brakes shit loads . . with car off and on ..

See if it drops ??

Awaiting the questions on how to fit them and lower them ... lol :p

:lol::lol: But if you wind the coilover up doesent it compress the spring more making it go lower?

on my 6n coilies i had them on their highest setting anyway as it was still slammed, so i actually did wind them up to compress the spring and make them stiffer :lol: FTW

It was dripping, Are mk3 brakes meant to get stiffer?? When pressing alot?

With the engine off yeah lol

The paintwork has chipped and cracked on the bumpers, I was told it had a respray, Bullcrap!

Anyway so this week i have been attempting to get new tyres for my Borbets without making a dick out of myself , I still ended up getting pisstaken and other things.

So i decided to go for 185/50/14s, Instead of 195/45/14s this will give me a little stretch :D

I've been waiting for my MasterBrakeCylinder and BrakeServo from 01Mlacey

Anyway, I'm rocking steels.....Till i get my borbets sorted and decide what I'm doing with my arches, I would roll them but there rusted!!

Ideas.

Picture time! :badgrin:

Just so you know Ash, if you are experiancing issues with the sub playing funny or turning on/off it might be due to the fact you have the RCA's with the POWER and SIGNAL, your ment to keep the RCA's seperate.

Also they're steels off a 6n...

Oh right, I just bought some FLI ones of ebay made for the car amps buddy, What would you recco

Cheers.

No ash he means .. Your power cable and rca cables ( red and white ) shouldnt be together mate, Basicly the rca's pick up off the power and you get interference etc ..
