Today was a busy busy day!
Went into work to do the brake lines on the car.
I have removed the ABS, and I'm now running internal brake lines via a bias valve just in front of the hand brake.
Day started well, mounted the bias valve and rear t piece.
I then helped out a fellow type r owner that needed some wheel bearings pressed in his freshly powder coated hubs, turned out more of a job than I expected as he was missing the cir clip that holds the bearing in. So he had to go and get his other hubs that I had to strip to get the cir clips out!
Any way he was very happy that we got it done. Gave me a good Bung and he was on his way.
Then started with mine again. I used some nice brake pipe clips that I found on demon tweeks to mount the pipes to the body.
Rubber grommet's in the rear wheel arches to run the lines through.
By the time I'd finished it was dark so the quality of the pictures aren't very good, they don't do the pipes justice, they are very neat and look good!
Will get some better pictures once I've cleaned her up.
Also I forgot to say!! The other week I was searching eBay for some more wheels and happened to come across a set of standard ek9 wheels is dire need of restoring about 40 miles away.
So negotiated with the seller to collect them the next day for a very good price!
Dropped them off at the refurbisher's and only collected them this week.
Will be using these as my track wheels.
I went for satin black, and got some new H emblems.
I love the look of them!
I was at work a total of 11 hours today!
Got to give a massive shout out to my dad.
Cause I was there so long, the two other guys that were at work left! So I had no one to help me bleed my brakes!
Luckily my dad came up to my work and helped me out! We got them all bled up nice.
Thanks Dad!!!
Test drive home the brakes feel so much nicer! Can't believe how much better the pedal feels.
I also seem to have lost my slight brake imbalance issue! (Nsf and OSF)
Maybe the Nsf Abs valve was sticking? Who knows! Fixed now!
Damn I'm nacked now.
Going to eat my kebab and watch SOA.
Thanks for reading!
