khare's mk3 GTI...16v!

[Khare]

gonna wack some GR lines on mine too once the car is off the road, have them on my Swift GTI - they are great

I've not had the chance to test them properly yet, I've only driven a few miles to make sure brakes are working fine and pedal has a good feel. Will test them out over the week and see how it goes.

Something i'll get round to at some point too.  Looks good, calipers look like they only just fit inside the rim.

Yeah  They must be about 2-3mm from touching it!

  Was there ever a point when you thought sh*t, they're not going to fit!?

[Khare]

Nope, because they come standard in post 95 GTI's and the VR6 

The wire thing was touching the inside of the alloy yesterday, so today I gave it a push back. No touching for now so we'll see how it goes

Yeah I knew the VR had them but the wheels are different.... hmmm, watch it, don't want to be scoring the cr@p out of the wheels now.

Tattooing the inside of the wheels

Ha, that's one way of looking at it.

Just went out for a quick test down the New Forest and although the pads are still not making full contact with the discs (discs are still oxidised on the inside) braking has more feel to it and is more progressive. So far so good

That's one thing I hate about new brakes, having to drive light and bed them in... When I was younger I was inpatient once, never again.
