Yesterday my new brake discs and pads arrived, so it was time to jack up the car again.
I picked up my wire brush and went to town on the calipers and the dust shields
While I was at it I thought I'd try it on my arm as well cared:
Before:
After:
I also fitted my front Tein S-tech springs. Tomorrow I'll fit the rear ones and clean up the rear brakes.
Not nice on the arm mate!
After spending a lot of time fitting my rear Tein springs I wire brushed and painted my rear brakes. I also adjusted the parking brake while I was at it.

Then I replaced the old drop links
My jack got stuck under the car when I lowered it, so I had to dig it out. I'm happy with the ride height though
On my way to work this morning I made a stop at an MOT station to check my exhaust emissions. They were all normal.
CO: 0.00 (0.3)
HC: 2 (100)
Lambda: 1,011 (0,97-1,03)
Those drop links were def in need of a change lol
Sparkystav Those drop links were def in need of a change lolYeah, they looked like they came from a shipwreck or something.

Stunning views mate! Great progress with the car. Those drop links were a mess. How does it feel now?
Wow... I'm surprised they came off in one piece.
Needed to be done was an understatement
View looks awesome!!
The last few weeks I've been trying to come up with stuff to change on the Yaris. I'm still waiting for a cloudy day so I can give the car a proper wash and take a few new pictures of it. The sun isn't all bad though. Me and a friend bought a wakeboard and decided to learn before summer ends. My boat only makes tiny wakes, but it's a lot of fun anyway.
Today I went to the breakers and got myself a steering wheel off a 2004 Yaris with only 25k miles on the clock. My old one was pretty worn and had a few scratches.
I also bought a set of used wheel nuts. They were quite dirty, but that was easily fixed with some degreaser and a toothbrush.
I'm not sure what had happened to the old ones, but they looked awful.
