Loving the BBK. I have the Forge 356mm discs mated to 6pot Brembos and they're great. The discs seem to be managing the elements well so far. You fitting them yourself? Bet you can't wait :)

Good to hear they perform as good as they look :)

Yeah I'll be fitting them :) can't wait but going to wait till my S3 rear calipers turn up from Germany and fit them all together save bleeding the system twice. Lol
 
Cleaned the car yesterday and clayed the paint work. Took some picture with my DSLR but laptop won't load for some reason [:@]

Anyway I managed to bag a free jet wash that was apparently leaking water from everywhere lol.

So got it home and tried it out, was leaking from the hose connection at the base of the jetwash

Quick inspection found the o ring missing, so put a new yellow hose connector on and that solved that leak.





Started using it and water was pissing out the handle of the lance?! Took that part to find it had was held together with filler and insulation tape :rolleyes::confused:



So now need a new lance and hose. Want to get a snow foam kit aswell anyone got any recommendations?

After that lifted the bonnet on the car and decided to do something about the mouldy sound proofing.

Took it off



Attack it with a stiff brush



Had a can of this kicking around



First coat



Couple of coats and drying on the line



Oops



Dried and back on :)







Catch can seems to be doing its job

 
Hahah fingers crossed :p

Defo fingers and toes crossed lol

I have pagid rs29 on mine, I believe the part numbers are the same as the ones for the 6 pot aps.

Thanks for the link :thumbup:

I just ordered the AutoBrite snow foam lance, which is highly recommended on here by loads of people. I found it cheapest on Amazon. There is a Snow Foam thread in the detailing section somewhere.

Brill will have a flick through, will be new to it all so be good to research a bit.

Yep, same shape as the AP's. quite an expensive pad.
I liked the RS29's when I had them on my AP's.

I used cosworth track master pads in my APs on my Ibiza, they were mega bucks aswell as the rotors.
