Getting ready for my trip to Denmark, changing brake disc, pads, kingpin bearings and seals. On the right side that is, did the left side last year.
Swappped tires around too, as one tire had uneven wear. Every other knob on the thread pattern is more worn than the others. Putting it in the back.

Thinking the car is more or less ready now, will check a few more things before I leave in one week.

This weekend I appear to have been putting the hurt to the ebc brakes. The run over the tops from Sheffield ish to Huddersfield ish if conducted at a reasonable but legal pace is evidently a good way to get a lot of heat into the system. Enough in fact to make my passenger ask if the clutch was ok!?! If I had one I'm sure it will be fine! What however didn't happen was any losses in brake performance or feel. Very impressed for solid discs.
