This. Rears do about 30% of braking force. As long as everything is tip top it isn't really needed.

Yep.

I got rear OEM discs with the bearings for £100. You can re-use them if they don't need replacing. From what I read pressing them can be difficult.

Yet to fit mine.

Is that a good idea? Afaik, the exhaust needs to vibrate and move about otherwise this is going to work it's way back towards the engine causing cracks along the pipes and other problems. Mine shifts to the right when warm which would cause torsion if it couldn't.

Sockets in the bottom courner tend to work, or as I've said numerous times on here you can actually move the mounts the exhaust hangers attach on to.

It has a mid section rubber?

I'm happy enough using oversized standard brakes, more than up to the job for what I need. Don't like the extra noise from cross drill and grooves.

Went for a very quick fix, still plenty of play in the mount too.

Found out what that rattle is at the back of my car too. Both bits have come loose either side, need to get some larger washers. The heat shield is basically leaning on the exhaust back boxes!

Common problem, some supersized washers are the solution

Happened on mine.

Not replace the mount?

Quick fix before i get around to it

Although i might look into another alternative as they deteriorate very quickly apparently.

Was gonna change the mount on mine, but when I tried the bolt had rusted solid and the nut is on the inside of the chassis only accessible by removing half the rear end of the car

. Just cable tied it up instead.

Just gave the car an awesome clean so it's ready for the silver turinis on Tuesday!

How much am I looking at to get wheels put on tyres and then on the car?

Skeeter · 10 Apr 2011 at 17:15

SS, whats the size of the front plate you used to get it to fit in the recess with an even gap around it?

It's 520 x 84 mm

I highly recommend turtle wax ice aswell, fantastic deep shine finish to it and it lasts for ages. You should be looking at £8-10 per wheel to get fitted and balanced.

Thanks, even though I have to have the stock wheels removed?

Are you taking the rubber off your 182 wheels and putting them on the turinis?

That's the plan :confused:

Not a good idea? They are practically new Hancook V12'S
