It's only one of those things, unless you've been in a crash. Go to Cleveland Tyres on Cleveland street and they will balance your wheels (they will put those little lead weights at different points). Mine didn't vibrate at all, until I put the spare on, which wasn't balanced, and the car was vibrating at speed!!

All the wheels have been balanced, front and rear, so it's not that.

I think the disks are warped very slightly and it was made worse by the worn bush on the drop link.

Will find out later when I put new discs on though

Well, after spending days painting and preparing the new hubs and calipers for fitting, I found out that the handbrake cables on the drums are totally different to that used on the discs.

So now I need to buy some new handbrake cables costing £14 each

Anyway, managed to get the new front discs on and sprayed the front calipers too. Not the best of jobs, didnt even remove the rust, just wanted them painted for now.

wow, odd choice of blue, but it really goes.

Nice one

Blue inspired by Jonahs vxr blue calipers.

Looks better without the dirty wheels lol

same thoughts as craig here the colour is a strange one but they looooook great well done jowwww

looks good bud

see i am good for something then ! lookin good jooooooooooooooooooow

Replaced the fuel filter today.

Something which I haven't done since I've had the car and the old one was a BMW one, which means its either a 15 year old orignal from factory or the car has been serviced or replaced with genuine BMW parts in the past

Still trying to find handbrake cables so I can do the rear disc conversion - Anyone suggest anywhere? I've tried all the scrappys on Cleveland Street and none of them have any and I dont fancy paying £28 for new cables

put your fooking hand in your pocket and buy them. Probably cost you more running about looking for them

Looking good Joe you have bought a strange mod though (what you were fitting at your garage tonight)

Never bought it mate, aquired it for freeeeee

Plus it has a number of uses lol

What were you fitting at the meet joe?

tow bar

I had to nick the rear bumper brackets off Andys car as the studs on my bracket were too short to fit the tow bar

Finally got round to buying the handbrake cables and pads for the rear brakes I bought a few months ago and fitted it all this weekend

Quite an easy job and well worth doing for the appearance alone.
