I don't think it matters, as the pads used are the same throughout them all, but I would assume late Vectra as they were in very good condition when I got them, basically brand new.

The wheels had the weights removed too, weights are now fitted to the outer lip of the wheel to make sure it clears.

Pictures to follow.

Fucking hell havent updated this for a whole year! Fair amount of work has been done in the last year.

Fitted some 16" vetra sri rims last year! which i think suite it lovely. Also fitted some re-profiled cams, dont know definate figures of them but there quite mild, at the same time as that i put on a bmc cda. Fitted a mix and match exhaust too, Magnex decat, piper centre and a powerflow back box! Didnt sit too well so i took it to Top Gear in Aylesbury and had them alter it slightly and weld up the joins.
And just today ive put on a 4-1 manifold! Will update with pictures soon.

Off to Santa pod tomorrow for Mini in The Park, and some strip action. Anyone going?

Manifold is great thanks Brad, really really raspy from 3k right up the range!

Inlet manifold has been fine mate, not had any problems! Want to get the car on the rollers soon, see what its putting out. Then do abit more uprating.

Couple of updates, some that i did some time ago.

I Lamin-x'd the morrettes,(light smoke) which i think matches up with the indicators better.






Mountney steering wheel, still need to the horn somehow, was thinking of just using a switch on the dash.




And the most recent update is the 4-point cage, should hopefully making some brackets for it tomorrow to bolt it in, along with welding a hole in the wheel well.
