Got the TI back from the garage this week. It's been for a Service, MOT, Cambelt and Alternator-belt change (done 55k and it's a '97 R, so I thought it was about time :) Passed the MOT fine, except that my rear discs were heavily corroded so he's replaced them along with the pads. I also gave him a set of Goodridge Braided-Hoses to fit while he was at it. The rears went on fine, but the fronts had female connectors instead of male (!) so he had to modify my existing pipes to take them. Also swapped all the fluid for DOT 5.1 All up, it was £385 inc VAT - ah, the joys of living up North :)
Current mods are now as follows :
130w Main-beam bulbs Clear Side Repeaters LED Brake-Light Bulbs 17" BK161 Rims with 215/45/17 cheapo-tyres Black Diamond Combi front discs, and EBC Redstuff front pads Goodridge Braided-Hoses and DOT5.1 all-round Denso Iridium Plugs K&N Air-Filter Element GBE MK2a (with ceramic ball) Boost-Valve @ 13psi More info hereNext up is a decent exhaust system - Garage dude said my stock setup is starting to blow. Dunno whether to go for a Powerflow or a Mongoose like Lordy's got. Mongoose is great, but no choice of tailpipes, and it's not cheap at £350 cat-back plus fitting. Nearest Powerflow dealer is 1.5 hours (depending on traffic) away in Leeds (Alpha Tyres - anyone heard of em ?).
