    Just stick with what subzero said its only 10 sterling..if you buy the Driftworks ones there going to be a full set for a skyline which I don't know if the front ones will work I doubt they will..

    Your some man for hardship for a guy that ain't a mechanic to do all this himself to a car well done man..wish I wasn't a mechanic then maybe I might not be as lazy with my own car

    Quick Question are you still using the Standerd s15 Break master cylinder? or did you upgrade?

    Ya id say ye are right lads, its just im ordering the Flywheel through WKD from Driftworks and i figured i would get the Lines and a coilover Adjuster Knob all in the one package and Save postage on them. I still cannot understand how that R33 Front break line is so short tho :O. I checked the rears Earlier on what you said man iid be well stuck if i didnt have the Lines from the Rear calipers LOL


    Haha ya im lazy as hell Normally, i just love tinkering with this haha. i would have had the clutch smashed out in a few days only foe i knew something was up when the clutch went after such a short while and its never really abused, good thing i spent all the time i did at it, i don't want to see this Exedy clutch out again for at least a few years LOL

    Im sure it is... but ill double check for ya tomorrow.

    Your master cylinder could be the culprit for your bad brakes. The hel braided lines are tasty out with all the clips for the test etc. There just boring black and not cool dw orange

    ya the handbreak was hopeless on mine would bearly hold the car on the hill let alone pull a skid single pot sliding calipers are rubbish anyway, hopefuly the drums are a big improvment



    Anyway been a busy few days i finally pulled the fingure out this week and hope to have it through the Test next week sell the golf and get back in this

    i pulled out the rear coilovers and split, tested, cleaned, copper-greased, and Rebuilt them.


    so they are all 100% and im thinking of selling them up and getting something else need them to pass the NCT first tho


    started on the Breaks fronts where a peice of piss, straigtht swap using the old breaklines



    then onto the rears

    before:


    comparision


    During:


    After




    Then decide to give the headlighs a quick spruce up, this was after a was all dull looking


    sanded them down with 1000, 1500 and then 2000 and 2500 grit paper, and buffed them up with some polish i found lying around and buffed them up, pictures dont show how much better they look but its a big diffrence!!



    Then finally my Driftworks super fly Flywheel came at long last not bad ordered it Friday through Wesley keating, he saved me E60 on the price of it and it landed this morning, ya cant ask for better service than that!!




    Everything stacked up and Waiting for D-Turbo-Ladddddddd to give us a hand fitting the clutch and it will be under its own power by the weekend hopfuly
