Cheers,.The lights are worth doing. Need to have the SS lip though or the front end of your car will look as if its got buck teeth lol. Its a shame the originals are so hard to find thesedays.

Yeah i took them out and scuffed them up. Also used some CRC de-squeak on the rotors. It helped a little bit. But there is still brake squeal when the brakes are cold.



In other news,There is now a T5 manual conversion sitting in the garage awaiting a rebuild and a clutch. good times ahead.
In the meantime Ive also got a corvette servo waiting to go in the TH700 when i get time.

good to see you fixed the front end after the accident instead of just geting rid of it like somany do

How'd you get the rear wheel arches going man?

-1mm thick galv sheet metal,
-a sheet metal folder-thing-apparatus (was at highschool),
-cardboard (cardboard is the best stencil/template material ever),
-angle grinder with a 1mm cutting disk,
-lots of time with a spot welder,
-lots of time fitting, removing, modifying until they were a proper fit. then:

-rivets, touch up paint
-sikaflex
-trolleystrips from a wrecker special

And then guess what? After all of that.. THEN I found out that the VP calais' came out with those as standard!

Looking good.
To fix the brake squeel take the pads out and cut a groove diagonally across the pad with a hacksaw. This usually works

Cheers, Ill take that one on board. Never thought about diagonally.
I got told once by a tafe lecturer to cut a groove vertically in the middle of the friction material (was on the old pads). Did nothing
