I didn't have plans on running low, but I think I've been swayed  :D

Been hearing people going on about how discs are not great without a booster, guessing you will be fitting one?

Going non-servo'd on this one. The idea of a heavy pedal is something I like.

 

STANCE YO!!!

You're a bad influence  ;D I definitely want to drop her as low as possible for a day and then see from there  :D

Went to clean up a few things on the car today and decided to take some pictures. I was initially worried about the silver calipers behind the silver wheels, but it's not too bad. It's actually kind of subtle :

Ever so slightly over-arched :

My second favourite view of the car :

And yes, I was sort of going for a silhouette shot there (not the best though).

Also, just a picture of the sound deadening on the roof to replace the original stuff :

It's lightweight and should do the job just fine I think.

looks great Jared!!  Wheels look hot and all fits nice under the flares!!! 

 

I like the feel of the un-boosted brakes...  I left mine off as well... they have lots more feel to them. Also give you a bit more room under the bonnet..

 

Cheers

Thanks mate  =]  I love these wheels!

 

That's the feel I'm going for with this one. Any and all room under the bonnet will help, especially with future plans.

I was going to replace the original door switches with later Rover spec items as somehow my car landed up with only one, but I managed to find another one on one of our other cars. I cleaned them up this morning :

So exams are finally done and I decided I'd waste some time today. I made a start with the dashboard - I'm going with carpet to improve sound deadening. Since this section will all be behind the dash pieces I had made up, this won't be seen too much, but it still needs to be done properly. I haven't finished it by any means, but it gives you an idea :
