You will have to excuse me for not getting back sooner. The splitter is strung up on the wall at the unit hwnce the pics

Yea ive got one ready to go. Got a p2 sri bumper to go with it if you need one.

Well next time i dig out my GTI alloys i will check the weight. Im sure one of mine is significantly lighter and has the ridges on the inside, however i understand what you are saying about the tyres.

Yea but the Mintex discs haven't got the same centre bore. They are slightly larger at 60.1mm (iirc) rather than 59mm (I think) The callipers and hub have had nothing to do with the disc centring. The disc centring alignment is done with the centreing screws, (which I cant use) and the discs...

Lol. I couldn't find it, but im not a paid member at the moment that's probably why. The car is fine with the cheap wheelspacers, but I think it might be more testament to them being a real snug fit inside the rear of the disc brake, so they cant be off centre. As for them being balanced, I can...

Anyway. Quick update on this. i'm going to write this assuming none of the above comments so it works better as a how-to I did it at the weekend. FTO Brake Calliper and Clio Disc Upgrade. I used Renault Clio 172/182 (or just 2.0l) Disc brakes from a 2003 model (also the same brakes are used...

I will be buggered if i can find the drawing.... i kinda like the grinding the carriers down, but because i want to space my wheels out anyway, i might go for the wheel spacer idea. I will decide on Thursday, and just get something done. Thanks for the help all the same. Appreciate it.

Its ok.... this is the kinda stuff im looking for. You reckon i will be able to use the halfords specials wheel spacers?

Ive bought some FTO GPX Brake Calipers, and I'm about to purchase some Clio 172/182 discs... My question is... When i test fitted the Mitsubishi calipers... (to see if they fit under the alloys) they sat further out thantha almera brake disc, What im wondering is, is wheather the clio discs...

Im going to go to Kwikfit to make sure there isn't excessive toe. even if there was there isn't anything kwikfit can do as its non-adjustable. If there is a problem, I will just have to get another axle from the scrap yard. Once it is in the air at kwikfit, I can have a look at it better, and...

any idea you can point me in the right direction of which ones to buy... im not looking at £50 a side ones though

I will get it down to kwikfit and get it in the air, they cant sort my toe but on their ramp we can work it out. Then I will just take it home and fix it.

Blocked Injector?

I don't think you should visibly be able to identify 2 or 3 degrees of toe (if that's what it is now (I think not)) over the radius of about 10inches on a wheel, when your only eye reference point is a curved body panel. However, after I noticed it, a few people who I consulted with have said...

Now that's what im talking about:p I could understand the whole axle moving slightly to the right due to the torsion bar being fixed to the chassis as it is. The best way I could describe the feeling, is like driving on under inflated tyres. It feels like when you turn the steering wheel...
