Refitted the VX220 badge to the rear as well. I love the speedster badge but the 220 badge matches the reg now so.....

Had the car out for a last blast today. Can’t see it being driven much over the next couple of months. Was a brilliant day for it. Sun out and roads clear.

Track skills theoretically on next weekend but I can’t see it tbh so time to start on some wee jobs to keep the interest piqued.

first up some CL pads. Was only going to do fronts but snapped up a full set off a lad who never fitted them so will do all 4 corners.

Making the most of both the lockdown and great weather.

It’s pretty therapeutic to be honest.

Whats the clam like to get off? Seems to leave everything pretty accessible once it does come off which is handy i'm sure

Rear was wee buns compared to the front.

 

[Lappintyre]

You’ve some set of balls on ya!

CL pads are great. I did have problems with disc wear running them cold on the road. Still stopped mind, they work, lol. Just a lot of disc wear when run cold. No problem on track with some heat in them.

Can't make out which ones you got, I ran RC5+.

 

[pablo]

yeah RC5+ they seemed a good balance in track/road. I cant have brake squeal so please tell me they dont!

 

[svensktoppen]

I've never had squeaky brakes with any pads to be honest. No, only problem was the excessive disc wear when doing lots of road miles where they never saw any heat.

 

[pablo]

do well! zero wear at the moment lol

 

[svensktoppen]

And in fairness I'm talking 5-7k per year, that's more than most Lotii see in a lifetime For the odd weekend drive and trackdays they will be just fine.

 

[pablo]

aye Ill never get near that

 

[pablo]

Not much going on. Been super busy with work so car been neglected a bit.

Did order a new 4-1 manifold to match the rest of the system. Due any day.

Also ordered some OEM studs to replace the crusty ones that all came out with the nuts

 

[pablo]

Couple of wee jobs while the clam is off. At both sill pockets the fibreglass was cracked so got the fibreglass mat out and got to it. Few random pics too. Still waiting on the manifold.

 

[Lappintyre]

Am I imagining it or did you not buy a charger kit for this @pablo ?
