foggy147 Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 New disc, pads and braided lines fitted all round, now for the stereo install! - - - Updated - - - New stereo fitted. Chuffed with the fitment sits nicely into the dash without sticking out to much. Routed the USB connection into the centre arm box, just need a grommet to lock it in properly and then I'm going to put some foam i to it, and cut out the shape of my phone so it can fit snugly into it.

foggy147 Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 And vibration free now? Yep absolutely spot on, feels much better now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggy147 Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Decided to just tart up the front calipers today whilst it's absolutely beautiful. Nothing to fancy literally just some of that e tech caliper paint. At some point may end up getting them taken off to be done properly but either way they look miles better than what they did. Nice and fresh. Luckily the Supra decals just fitted with a tiny bit of trimming, the LS400 calipers have the metal band in the middle that sticks out a bit but they just went on ok!

Even managed to tidy up and route the stereo USB cable so can just plug phone straight in now without it rattling about everywhere!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
