well the minor point first - I've known for a while that my brakes were going to need replacing "at some point" but were an MOT pass in December, so intended to uprate the front discs and rear drums before my eventual engine swap later this year. (I have to wait due to lack of funds due to my...

Please excuse FILTHY alloys (they were washed on friday!!!) The front disks on the mk3 finally died - the driver's side was especially bad, crumbling around the edge and started SCREECHING last night :o :o :o I knew they needed replacing sooner or later anyway but had hoped they'd last until I...

ok so I was too full of energy on saturday evening after work. Work meant I couldn't go to PV, my friends were at PV, my sister had taken the laptop to work for the night so I was internetless, and as the sun had (finally) gone behind some clouds and it had cooled down, I got the T-cut out then...

I originally bought this along with a front bumper to go on my project astra but for various reasons it never got put on (the front is not for sale, and I do not have side skirts or any other bits of kit for sale). The bumper is an original vauxhall part not a fibreglass copy, and as such has...

bashing my head against a brick wall :doh: :doh: :doh: As either (1) the old master cylinder was fine after all or (2) the new one is also bolloxed. Whatever it is my brakes are still FUBAR but I'm determined to get up to the arni on sunday night. Nice guys at auckside motors are going to...
