You could have atleast wound out the bolts to put a gap between them and the calipers you mong Wink

Just for comparisons' sake, the R26R came with a Titanium exhaust option which weighs something stupid like 5kg... it was a £2,800 option on the cars when new... Titanium is BONKERS expensive...

So, I've had a funny week!

Flat seated bolts in tapered wheels is a bad mix. My mate took my car to halfords, on his way their the car developed a wobble and banging through the steering wheel. He got out and realised i was missig a wheel bolt...he drove straight home and straight into the motorclub. On further inspection we noted that the nut was indeed fitted, but had sheared! Oh dear! We stuck it on the ramp and tried to remove the other 3 nuts... Only 1 came out whole. Shit!

So we started removing the other 3 wheels and different nuts were used, so luckily it was just the drivers side hub that was f*cked.

Stripped it down wednesday night and checked prices of a new hub. Then i checked to see if the hub from the hdi would fit... It did! Hurah!

2200 and ive got to pack up and take the key back and get to supper as im working a night shift...

Up at 1430 the following day to start on the rebuild...

While the car was in the air I changed the exhaust rubbers, exhaust sits a bit better. Also checked rear subframe for rust and we're good their too.

Lowered the suspension a bit, and adjusted the drop links to suit.

Also fitted my new boot n bonnet badges from gareth.

Changed the hubs and stuck my mo5s on.

She's looking fairly sweet now!

Looking forward to rolling with the yellow! Pictures to follow!

Those badges look awesome against the grey dude. I'm with you on the wheels, I think they would be too much all yellow but the inners yellow would look the nutssss!


Nice work dude

wheels look good, but not as a whole when you've got an astor car, red brakes, yellow pug badge and white wheels - all together a bit tacky for my liking Sad

It's really hard to get photos of white wheels without horribly over-exposing them Tongue I'll try and do a 'shop, but I don't think there's enough contrast.
