Hybrid the m-jet turbo, someone I know had it done might be worth thinking about! Bmc panel filter will be perfect induction wise and alot cheaper, standard air box is good!

Not the greatest picture ever but I have corrected my little disc issue.
Just gotta find time to do the rear discs and pads, then paint all my calipers.

Is it a pain the disconnect and adjust the hand brake? Really need to do mine soon, just need some good weather so the calipers get a lick of paint too.
Front tyres are also shot, Toyo's all round it looks like. Get rid of the budgets. :slayer:
you shouldnt need to disconnect handbrake to adjust, its just a matter of tightening the adjuster nut behind handbrake lever...
slightly more awkward on mine as it has the armrest that comes with leather, which needs to be removed aswell.
pretty sure theres a few threads on here about it,,,
heres the thread i was thinking of:

Sorry pal I should have made it clearer, I meant for when changing the rear discs and pads.

you dont need to touch handbrake cable when doing rear discs and pads, just leave hanbrake lever disengaged.
undo two bolts on each caliper, and swing caliper out. you need a caliper rewind tool to wind piston back in, not like front calipers where you push it back in.
just a few notes before you attempt doing rear brakes:
drivers side rear caliper winds in clockwise(right) so this tool works:
Laser 1314 Brake Caliper Piston Re-wind Tool Set: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike
but....
passenger side rear winds in anti-clockwise(left)
so the aformentiones kit wont work.
you need a left handed caliper rewind tool like;
BLUE SPOT BRAKE CALIPER PISTON REWIND TOOL left handed: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike

Thanks for the replies people.
Need some help on wheel spacers, Im keeping my original alloys just going to get them refurbed etc.
Would like them out a little bit just to make its stance look a bit better, what do you think?
I dont really have a clue what make are best, how much/little I need the spacer size and Im gonna need bigger wheel nuts?

I use Eibach 15mm ( each side) hubcentric spacers front and back, for 4 years now and had no problem.

No progress to report atm unfortunately.
Is anyone running a different exhaust setup on there M-Jet? I have seen a nice twin exhaust setup on novitech that sits in the centre of the bumper. I dont want a loud system though I quite like the fact the M-Jet isnt that noisy.
Has anyone removed the DFP or Cat and seen good benifits when remapping?

I have a protoxide decat diwnpipe, and next week I'm having middle and backbox removed, and replaced with 2.5" stainless straight to back bumper with no boxes, and a 6x4 tailpipe on end.
All I'm keeping is the original cat underneath to keep vosa happy on there checkpoints.
