Interior is back in.
My 300mm calipers are back from being fully refurbished by BiggRed.Really really impressed with the service i recieved
I know now why I couldnt fit my seals lol Somehow I was trying to fit them in the wrong way :worried: I swear I was fitting them in the same way as I took the old ones out but obviously not :confused:
Powder coated black,Brand new seals,New nipples,All threads cleaned and the piston has been cleaned inside and out.Basically its like brand new :tongue: All for £120 including next day delivery back to me.
Well today I left the new lady in my life in bed and set about working on the fiesta lol like she would wanna help anyway :tongue: ok ok I went to the shops first and bought her breakfast :wub:
First thing I did was fit my new 300mm brakes,then I flushed through the brake lines and did a pressure test to check for any leaks...Glad I did aswell! Found a crack in one of the rear brake lines underneath the exhaust heat shield. I popped over to my xr2i in the garage and removed the line off of it and proptly fitted it to the white fiesta :happy: Did another pressure test and yeay no leaks lol
Used an easy bleed type one man bleeder device and a spare wheel to bleed my brakes,First time I've ever bleed brakes so I'm quite happy it all went well without any hiccups.
Anyway I fitted Four 3mm spacers and my Cougar alloy wheels,Checked all my tyre pressures and my torque settings,Lowered the car onto the ground and then took it for a spritely drive up the road
Well there you have it,She lives! First time I have ever driven that car and after a long time of driving a 1.8 derv van I must say it felt rapid lol Even if it isn't and its only a 1.6 zetec.
Oh and damn 300mm brakes work well! :cool:
What do you think of my silver/black colour combo?I quite like it :tongue:
