They shouldn’t be allowed to show filth like this before the watershed on tv. This must be the best soundtrack to any advert ever created.

Corrado g60 brake upgrade mk4 golf caliper conversion
After a brake line corroding and pissing out a load of brake fluid everywhere I think it’s time for a bit of a brake upgrade. I’ve got some mk4 golf calipers that I have just refurbed a bit and painted along with some Goodridge braided brake lines and some new cupro-nickel brake pipes.
When we were fitting the coilovers we noticed that the tyre was a bit close to the spring. I checked it a few days later and realised it was a bit too close on the rear, you can see where it has been rubbing.
Luckily a mate donated me a pair of 9.5mm spacers which I put on the rear to bring the wheel out a bit. With longer wheel bolts of course, I don’t fancy the rear wheels ripping bolts that are too short out.
The wood and bricks are what I have to drive onto to get the trolley jack under the car. I should have invested in a low profile one, ah well.
I managed to get this sorted before the MOT which the car flew through. All I had to do was tighten a rear wheel bearing and replace a brake light bulb for it to get a fresh new MOT certificate.
Swapping the 90mm splitter for a 50mm and fitting coilovers to get it sitting a bit lower…It was freezing cold but we got it done (thanks Miles, he ain’t as grumpy as he looks in this pic)
I’ve had a bit of time off posting on here but thought now is as good a time as any to start again now that the earth is being attacked by aliens
