Hahaa, no, YOU can get 3 sets of rims and tyres in the back of YOUR Aerodeck. I have a somewhat reduced load space in the back of mine

How often did you hear that distinctive fart noise of tyres on arch when you hit a dip?

Oh yes, I forgot about your "addition"

And suprisingly only once actually!

As I turned left up my road. I had a mate sat in the passenger seat too!

Well due to said issue mentioned above (Occasionally "Vrrrrrpppping" on the rear over speed bumps and when cornering when the back end is loaded) I finally managed to get hold of a nice set of SPC adjustable upper rear camber arms from the States to allow me to tuck the rear wheels up under the wheel arches.

Previously the tyres stuck out like this...

First of all, the old upper arms...

An old one compared to the new...

I thought I was in for a bit of a treat when removing the old ones being faced with this...

But they didn't throw up a challenge at all

So off they came, and on with the new...

And now we have a bit of tuck and camber...

Second job of the weekend, was to fit new Mtec drilled and grooved disc brakes and new pads. (Mintex on the rear, and BluePrint on the front.)

So and example of how rough the old discs looked...

And the reason for the change...

This was the NS front pads

There was no warning tab on this particular pad, so the only sign I had that they were in need of replacing was the sound of metal on metal

I forgot to take pictures, but the front discs had also worn quite thin.

So, Mtec discs and new pads fitted...

Also last weekend I finally had a brand new complete NS driveshaft and an OS outer CV joint fitted, and FINALLY, no more knocking!!!

It's like music to my ears... Or more like some really bad music has finally been turned off!

So after a month of the trusty family wagon having been off the road due to the lack of braking, she's finally back with us... And as you can see Stace is over the moon

...

Note, Stace is one of the many who has obviously been inspired by the Paraolympics recently

(Bad taste?)

I like this car. All that space in the rear seats.
