Contact them direct on 01768 885000 and they will take the order over the phone. I've order a few sets for BMW F30 Brembo 4 pots this way without any issues.

@Rockford Greenlight insurance who are/were a forum sponsor offer a good deal where they shadow your main car insurance policy, and you don't need to use your NCB with theach new policy. You provide them with proof of a full cover policy on your BMW, they then offer a limited mileage policy on...

Last year I had the engine on my R26 fail in a big way at the main straight at Snettetton, and I was towed off recovered off the circuit and into the paddock car park. I have breakdown cover through HSBC, I gave them a call and they dispatched a local recovery truck via Greenflag (I think). I...

I'm just looking to shift it as a complete car - I don't have the time at the moment to do anything with it because of work commitments.

As per the title really, I have ran out of time and knowledge trying to sort the car out, so its up for sale on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252453343894?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Nice write up. The first time I went to the 'ring was Spring 2008, and abit like yourselves, it was four seasons in one day, coupled with my first proper time out driving on track. I have managed to get back most years since, and I am hoping to get out again towards the end of the year, car...

Yes mate, been in Stevo for 13 years now. How about you?

V9 ARM - nice looking Trophy in the town centre Tesco in Stevenage Town Centre. It looks to have some trackday stickers (Javelin?) on the windscreen. Anyone on the forum?

That's mine! I sometimes park it there if I drive to the train station. It's my track car hence the dubious stickers and no interior.

Out of interest, how low do other people run the tread on their track tyres? I just got rid of a couple of old 888's today which were pretty much slick on the central third of the tyre, but with a very small amount of tread and the outer thirds. I only got rid as I needed to alloys to put...

One area of difference between the 172 and R26 was the brakes. I ran both with the same spec, braided lines, RBF600 fluid and CL RC6 pads with fogs removed for venting, discs were standard. You can stamp on the 172 lap after lap, and eventually to me it feels like the tyres start to give up...

I had a 172 track car (stripped etc, but road legal) which I did loads of TD'S with. I got a decent spec R26 at the start of last year, full milltek exhaust and RST stage 1 map, better brakes, suspension and spare alloys with track tyres. I kept the car with full interior so I could use it for...

Fair play for seeing all this work through, you must have the patience of a saint. I remember speaking to you at Bedford earlier in the year, not long after you had got the car back from its first rebuild. I had a black R26 at the time, and I ended up putting a rod through the block at the...

I am currently in the process of removing the lower inlet from 172, as I have an RS stamped inlet to have as a replacement. I have got all the bolts out, fuel rail injectors removed etc, but the inlet doesn't want to move.. I have slackened the diagonal support for the alternator bracket (the...

I have just kept hold of parts that I have replaced as I have gone along, coil pack, HT leads, plugs, a set of injectors and a fuel rail that I am having as a swap over item should I need it. I also have a thermostat, crank sensor, extra wheel bolts and a clutch cable. If I swapped parts as a...
