IVE BEEN BUSY THIS WEEKEND !!

Mon Mar 13, 2006 10:43 am

Went round my mates the other day and he was doing a Zenon conversion, so i decided to have the bootywagon done too. You cant really see how bright they are, but believe me, you can hardly look directly at them. Also too a pic of my brakes as i haven't posted any pics since i had them done. 380mm disks with 6pot callipers shod behind 18" wheels and there is hardly any space around them

The E46 in the pic is my mate's. It's the only car i'd consider selling the Rieger for. The attansion to detail on that car is amazing and you have to see it to beklieve how nice it is. Nutter wants to sell it for a 5 series

Look at those brakes

Mon Mar 13, 2006 4:05 pm

The Hids were Ãƒ”šÃ‚£200 and i gave my mate a drink for fitting them for me

Brakes are 380mm Hi Spec jobbies with 6pot callipers behind my 18x10j front wheels. I've got 18x12j rears and i tried to get them to make me a matching set for the rear, but they couldn't cause of the handbrake cable

Mon Mar 13, 2006 4:14 pm

They look fantastic and I think thats a pretty good price for HID's
The brakes look awesome

Mon Mar 13, 2006 5:07 pm

Your car is looking great! Are they the same brakes as Player6's (Scotts) ? I think his are 360mm with six pot calipers.

Mon Mar 13, 2006 6:29 pm

loving the council backdrop ben!

Mon Mar 13, 2006 6:57 pm

I did speak to Hi-spec a couple of years ago at maxpower and they said to measure the distance from the face of the brake disc to the back of the rim and it had to be something like 50 or 60mm clearance, i've got about 20mm

my rims have a 13mm offset so theres not a lot of room...
Those 6 pots are lovvverly

Mon Mar 13, 2006 9:58 pm

I have the same rims and im having no luck either. Im thinking about a set off an e36 M3, they will fit but im not sure if they are any better.

I wish i could get away with 6-pots like booty's, definately one of the benifits of having a crazy wide arch kit!

yes they can, there's a way around it!!!

I had to have new rims made just to take the brakes

Like D say's you need some room to accomodate the callipers and i had no where near enough and didn't want to run huge spacers either so it was a case of new rims or no brakes and the brakes i had looked really silly behind the huge rims so no choice really.

I was wondering when someone would spot the flats behind the cars

Kos i will have to chat to you. To be honest i think Hi Spec are lazy and only want to do what they always do hence their excuses to me. As a result i aint sending then no pictures of the car

D buy some splitties and then you can have the brakes.

Nav i didn't get no text mate, but Dips is finishing off the engine theis week, then it's going straight into the body shop to get chopped up

Im still in Milan, but i'm home every weekend now
