    Cleaned the car last night and a bloody bird pooped on it today all down the drivers door! Wiped off pretty quick thankfully.

    New tyres all round now. A world of difference. Drove around 50 miles of back roads last night to bed both them and the new back discs in :D before a near 300 mile spin to west cork today.

    The bugs wreck my head perfectly clean car until you look at the front and its caked in them so hard to get off too just a pain in general.

    Anyway you have loads done to the car you can't beat a set of new tyres and decent discs and pads they all make a huge difference to the car.

    replaced the front two tyres today so no longer such a gap in the arches.

    I'm not one usually for it but I think that Corolla would look great lowered a touch

    Was thinking the same. It's the lowish profile on the tyres I think thats calling for it.

    NINE THOUSAND? NINE THOUSAND rpm? You'll kill us all!


    LOL Apparently anything over 3k can get you imprisoned. If you survive the neck snapping forces.

    So after a bit of a wait I collected my new car this morning :) Very happy with it they done a great job cleaning up the few scuffs on the body.
    Funnily enough I've come around to the silver looks well when its polished up :)

    Pictures could be better but it was dull and wet here all day so ill just put these ones up I took at the garage.

    There's a big smudge on your reg plates. You should have told them to sort that too :pac:

    Na well wear dude. A fine result after all that drama.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,697 ✭✭✭Hachiko


    Serious stopping power in these, I went for a 'quiet' drive last night to bed these discs and pads in and the stopping from 60 to 15mph was unbelievable. I have read of people getting warped discs but they should not warp if bedded in properly.

    They look insane!

    I'm loving my brakes too, they are far better than stock, and a great upgrade and cheap too. EBC GreenStuff pads and Bosch disks on mine. You hear lots of people warning about needing to warm them before they're effective. This simply isn't true from my experience.

    Thanks . I'm looking for a set of the genuine e39 msport alloys as a back up set , but I like the alloys on her too . Got a great deal on this car so I'm well happy :)

    They are massive improvement over OEM, No need to warm these up but you do need to do a proper bedding in process, on a quiet national road I should add.

    These belong to a car that was well taken care of down here, can't go wrong really.
