Well guys im just home.

YES they fitted beautifully... Not had any time to use them but theyre all on and bled.
They really do look like a proper bit of kit, something the cars needed for a while now.

I really hope theyre as good as people say, they certainly look stunning and fill my 18s completely. Nice in the black finish too. Not often seen in the 356 kit.

Got the DS2500s in for now, as the F2s were.... belive it or not. Wrong

Oh well.. at least she has brakes at last.

Now just mapping and geometry to complete

Like i said mate, hopefully. The map needs tweeking due to massive injectors in her now and my geometry needs sorting since the front hubs have been off due to wheel bearing change.

Above all of that.. it needs the cleaning of its life

ha ha ha

map will need a tweak with 740's going in it! they're a bit on the big side aren't they. i must get mine down to zak for a geometry setup. at some point. not had it done since i bought it.

lol. cleaning of it's life. i bet it's not been that dirty since you bought it! well if i can help let me know. i know how hard it is to get a car back up to scratch (or lack of ) it's taking me long enough to get the ra how i want it.

have you used megs hyper wash? brilliant stuff. nice a "foamy" so it take the dirt particles with it before you get to it with a mit. i've got a fair bit if you want to give it a try?

Cheers for the offer mate, however I love my poorboys slick n suds. Im yet to find anything that lubes the paint like that does.

Trust me mate my car is absolutely awful at the moment, its goy bugs spattered accross the front of it that have sat there for 9 weeks now.

Id say its the worst it has ever been since ive owned it.. and that includes the muddy field episode in Germany last year lol.

At least my front brakes are clean

i've not tried the slick n suds yet. i'll have to give some a go when i run out of the hyper wash.

sounds like your car needs a fair bit of frayz loving then. you'd have hated to have taken it to japshow on sunday. i spent pretty much all day saturday, well 9am to 9pm on mine only for it to get covered on the way out due to the camping field turning into a mud bath and then being spread all over the exit road.

can;t wait to see some pics of those brakes

We'll get you a great shine on your silver Dazza.

I may have to invest in a bottle of this slick and wax. not a bad price.

Been a member of DW mate basically since it began.. i dont post often.. but i read every now and then.

Dont seem to enjoy cleaning the car as much anymore since its be graphic'd, basically.. you cant clean it properly. Dont get me wrong.. i still like doing it but its not as nice to do anymore.

i know what your saying about the graphics. it does make it a lot tougher and takes so much longer.

i'll have a nose for the wheel arch detail.
