STOLEN 99' Spec Almera GTi

wee update - old suspension off, served their time well. so the O/S front wheel has been getting dirty way quicker than the N/S............... you know what this means lol plus of late the brakes have been feeling shit to say the least. MOT later this month kicked my ass to sort it out.

mileage 86k
Fuel pressure down to 3bar
refit KYB gas suspension and Spax lowering spring
OE O/S brake caliper (N/S replaced Sept 08')
Ferodo fast road pads

yeah I think thats quite common on the redsstuffs; not exactly confidence inspiring is it! I think ferodos are generally good, only running yellow stuffs on mine as wanting 100 quid for a set of pads on fto callipers which is appauling! back on topics, nice clean car!
 
yeah il never buy RedStuff again, im funny like that :sus:

it was £78 inc del to my work the next day, came with new slider rubbers and end cap. the carrier was fine, the sliders had a good clean and lub.

any idea what items are replaced at the 90k service?
 
Bargain for a brand new caliper. I never had my red stuffs long enough to notice any problems. But they did feel better than the rubbish that was on there before.
 
Good to see you keeping on top of everything dave. I think you need a daily tho and keep this as your mint weekender.

I know of a lovely diesel for you
