Eh, they looked alright but they were too large imo and the offsets weren't helping either.

That sucks!! I think they change the nights though, so one weeks its a wednesday, the next its a thursday

So not much has happened over the last few months apart from general maintenance. Had my front wheel bearings die shortly after New Year so I took that as an opportunity to installed a pair of 312mm slotted rotors which I picked up off Seb, and also my Bilstein coilovers which I bought off Stu at GAD last year. Then, just over this past weekend, I installed a pair of Porsche 986 Boxster 4 pot calipers and omg, the stopping power is noticeably different!!

I'm now looking into upgrading the turbo on the car but don't want massive gains, just something that packs a little more punch; around 220-260awkw. I know people suggest frankenturbo's but eh, I personally don't think they're worth it. Have been reading a lot on ASN but everyone seems to chase big numbers, which is far from what I want to do.




No full photos of the car, just haven't taken any recently.

thanks a lot man! at the moment its just general maintenance and buying BT bits when I can afford to.

On that note, after installing my brakes I noticed my drivers inner CV boot was torn and making a terribly loud clicking noise, so today it was dropped off at the mechanics for a new one

how much of a pig was it to replace the front wheel bearings mate, any tips would be appreciated please...

[drucejnr]

to be quite honest, I wouldn't have a clue. I got my mechanic to do them as I had the ****s with the car because it took 4 hours to install the drivers side coil over (I didn't have the collar splitting tool) so I said fuggit and got the mechanic to do it all lol

cool, thanks for the reply mate. can you remember how much it cost for the wheel bearing replacement please, i'm also wondering whether to take it in to the shop. you can pm price if preferred please, thanks in advance...

i paid about $80 per side however this was taking them out DIY and bringing the driveshaft into a bearing shop for recon.
