Re: Horace's Caddy
Just read this from started to finish. Great work. Lots of inspiration for when I get my caddy, the interior especially.

Re: RE: Re: Horace's Caddy
Thanks. It's still very much a work in progress. I have loads more I want to do with the interior, especially in the cabin.ronanh wrote:Just read this from started to finish. Great work. Lots of inspiration for when I get my caddy, the interior especially.

Re: Horace's Caddy
Pretty please to have got these Golf GTi MK6 brake upgrade parts for $200.00 today. Carriers, callipers, 312mm rotors and pads with about 70% still left on them.
Will be fitting them Wednesday.

Re: Horace's Caddy
Bollocks.
They are both for the LHS. Not sure how I didn't notice that when I picked them up.
Spoke with the seller who says he had bought them from a wreckers. He has the receipt so hopefully I can get one side swapped over for the RHS. Failing that I'll be hitting him up for a refund.
Not a big problem at the end of the day. PITA having to do all the required running about though.

This is the one I have:
http://shop.carstyle4you.com/product_in ... -cover.htm
But they are available elsewhere and also available as a complete kit.
https://www.ecstuning.com/b-double-apex-parts
http://www.doubleapex.co/collections/mk ... =960705949
The kits seems over priced to me considering a universal garage remote is only a few £££

Re: Horace's Caddy
Hard to tell. Is been very wet here the last few days and the pads will need to bed in a bit before I put them to the test so to speak.
One of the reasons I did this was because my 155k km service was due and I figured my front rotors needed changing. As it turns out I had a 4mm lip on them so they are goosed.
So all in all I've come out with a nice brake upgrade for less than the price of replacing the rotors alone.

Interestingly when using Tapatalk your swear word is still there, but not when using Chrome.
