Good to hear your not now thinking of calling it a day!

Are these Evo calipers expensive and do I need to replace my discs from standard?

I only have a 1.8, with standard, vented discs.

I suppose e-bay is the best place to look for them - Evo III calipers, is it?

Eco calipers are direct fit Gary so all you need is discs, the lower engine mounts I fitted with Ken and from and eco and the poly bushes I'm getting are off a to and again direct fit

Ken, when do you think the calipers will be available?

Glad to hear the car isn't seriously damaged though.

They look darker on the car than they did on the bench.

Unusual centre caps too - standards, or 'specials'?

Gary

Hey the caps are standard, just got some stickers on the center, makes a nice touch . I'll take a closer pic when the weather pics up.

Cost me a whipping £8. Sure its not a perfect job but I'm happy with it.

Just need to unbolt them, so when ever you want/need. If your ordering any parts from Volvo order some new caliper mounting bolts as well.

Oh ok cool, thought they were in use, how many bolts do I need is it 4( 2 each side? )

So glad I didn't go to romsey, I bet the poor guys were soaked!

[FIREBOLT]

Yeah two per side, I bought VR4 calipers for the Evo so I could fit bigger discs.
Was a bit on the wet side today, had quite alot of hail here as well. Shame really as the weather was great last time.

[PiratepeteT4]

Well it gives us time to sort our cars out and looking good for the next one.

What discs do I need by the way , gonna keep mine off the road for bit, get some bits done and saves my petrol by driving the 106 of terror lol

I have the MOST annoying colour on my spats and bumper trims and they never look any good and I've tried every product possible and my friend who vallets said they were a pain to make even remotely clean/wet look so I grabbed my left over paint and got busy

This was before after a clean and rub down.



and this is what I have now..... know please don't judge the quality, im not the best sprayer but to be fair it looks good me



I got a bit carried away so I did the front splitter



Regards the strips in the centre im thinking of colour matching them....

I will also be doing the skirts but A. I ran out of paint, B. not show how to get them off and C, I don't know if I wanna go satin black of colour code

Suggestions welcome

Harry did a bloody awesome job of the colour coding, Pete.
