Gotta admit everything i have read sways away from them as apparently the back tends to lock up an snake the car a hell of a lot when the rear weighs so little....

i would guess that if u put disks on the back, u would need different brake preassure valve regulator...

my dads nissan 100nx had disks all round and it weighed about a ton, never was a problem on snow ice or just heavy braking.. i think it all depends how u set them up.

Ok i have picked up a awesome car trailer, which will come in handy when the car needs to travel long distances (for re-map etc etc). Trailer will be pimped when i get my workshop.

When i get the workshop i can get everything done minus any of the engine work, will wait for Dan to get that sorted whenever he can.

I have picked up a manual steering rack too to replace my power steering one so will be using that, might get a quaife quick rack shall see! (Reviews on them anyone??)

Got so much on my list including cage extending through the wheel wells and up to strut tops and around the front, dash bars, custom metal sheet dash board, full shell re-spray, gsi kit fitment and spraying and so on and so on ......

Also looking for a set of nice wide steel wheels or some cav slabs which i cant have done bright yellow and some track slicks put on them...

Throttle bodies (kit) also coming soon!

Thanks mate but a bit old lol, that quote must have been from about page 2!
Full re-spray ftw!

A couple of cool items have been ordered, Bailey header tank which needs some work but i plan to get it powdercoated anyway to match rocker cover so no point in buying a new one!

Also sprinter vented wing !

Lol, yeah! Well i got my morettes cheap as they were fucked. I paid £45 for them

BUT they need all new lamps (only getting the outer lamps. I also re-sprayed them properly and fixed a broken plastic bracket.

If you do get morettes, and dont want to have to refurb, buy them new! As ALL second hand morettes will be fucked.
