[DJsMX-3]

Hey nope im sorry seems like they can be ordered in color: http://www.brakehoseshop.com/frameset.html

Just wasent able to see anything usable in that PDF katalogue on the swedish site

And Josh,so its like its the whole nut theres a little bit too big

Ohh yeah i had those KWR pads to and rotors "They stink" Pads were noisy dusty and didnt brake all that good and the paint on the metalpart of the pad was Soo flimsy,they allmost rusted stuck

The EBC works nice here. Not much dust and such.
Gonna do my brakes soon, and planning on Black Diamond with Ferodo pads.

You can also get TUV approval on the Goodridge kit via Brakehoseshop, so it shouldn`t be any problem every other year on the test

Hm... so the brake lines have to be TUV approved? They check or cars here in Sweden every year. Don't want them to fail me on the brake lines.
On brakehoseshop, should I choose Zinc Plated or Stainless Steel fittings? Are both TUV approved?

[DJsMX-3]

Its up to you,the stainless fittings is a little more expensive but they will allso never corrode


Im gonna post again when i get theese on,but for now i guess im happy i didnt get the corksportones,would probertly allso have waited multiple months before they shipped off "corksport"

[Macen]

Ok, will go for SS then. But the color dosen't matter when "bilbesiktningen" (the yearly test of the car) takes a look on the car? The only need to be TUV approved, right?

[SIXPACK]

yeah thats right but if you choose pink ones you are asking for trouble :p

[Macen]

Haha! Think I'll order pink ones then

EDIT: Just got an answer from gpartners.se, and they told me that the ones they have are the steel ones without any plastic cover, and they are approved by Swedish "law". Part number is SMA0101-4 and they can be ordered from Mekonomen or Autoexperten. Costs 919:-

Dont know your rules in sweeden but i called those who was supposed to know here in Denmark,and they said that if theres a Tüv on it, it should be allright...

If you order online from brakehoseshop you can add transparrent plasticcoating to the lines

[Macen]

Well, it will be almost the same price if I order from brakehoseshop or my local dealer. And both should be ok to use.

[nope-mx3]

If they are sold in Mekonomen in Sweden, maybe I can get them from Mekonomen here in Norway aswell then.

Hope so, cause 919,- is a very nice price
Oh, btw, from next friday I got 7 or 14 days vacation, anyone of wou swedes and danish people interested in a Mx3 meet someplace in sweden?
Gothenburg or someplace further south maybe?

nope-mx3

[DJsMX-3]

Sorry not me,allthough it could be fun..

But my parts have finally left the "Ever so lazy" corksport,so im gonna be busy for a while going to change a lot of bushings,have some parts powdercoated new brakes all around allso new brakelines and maybe brakepipes so that my car can get a undercar treatment against rust Pava/Dinitrol or something good like that

Right now the car is getting fixed/painted after some idiot drove into the side of me

[Macen]

Mekonomen couldn't get them for me, so I went to Autoexperten. They will have them in two weeks.

[Macen]

Anyone that have installed the Goodridge ones? Heard from Dennis that he had trouble fitting them. I haven't got mine yet.

[lakersfan1]

Dennis, instead of heatshrink, what about flex loom? Can get it in black for OEM look and just put heatshrink on the very ends.

Sorry havent been much on lately,And its correct what macen said.

I recieved my brakelines from goodridge "Good stuff,looks awsome" BUT they seriously have some faults in their specifications as to how the lines for a MX-3 should be "just a little hint,theyre COMPLETELY missing the nut used to fix the brakeline to the strut via the little springclip

Im talking to the guy about making a correct kit for the MX-3,but he wants my original brakelines to copy "I hate it when things gets complicated because a supplyer offer a product but it just dont fit like they say it should"

Anyway i would allso like to hear if noone else has tryed the goodridgekit before me??
My kit is going back,then they can crosschechk what i recieved with what they thought it should be...And if i recieved what they think the brakelines should look like for a MX-3 then they need to make a true fit kit...
