Back to headphones. I think the Nothing ones are nice but maybe a bit style over substance... I regularly use a pair of basic wireless overears at work to block out the morons when doing complex things. I'm easily distracted/annoyed. The ones I'm using are fine, but have no noise cancelling. A...

I'd be wearing them at work/home and everyone in those places already thinks I'm a dickhead.

Nothing headphones: Anyone bought a pair of these/heard any feedback yet? I'm such a tart for design and these are gorgeous.

Might need to look into those then as well! Thanks

See I wondered about this, but if it was dry and I was planning a spirited run, I'd use the Federals on my pretty track wheels. I don't want my normal everyday tyres to be better than my "playing out tyres" :LOL:

That was easy! Thanks people! Now for the 195 vs 205 debate :D

At the moment I have ditchfinders on my standard wheels, and 595RSR on my Team Dynamics Pro Race track wheels. These are literally for driving to the shops & to stand it on something over winter. When I had branded tyres on the road wheels I drove to track days etc on them, but the cars barely...

I can get Mitutoyo 6” digital calipers for £84. As accurate as you’ll ever need. Industry standard. Alternatively Moore & Wright are cheaper and almost as good.

True, but at £1 per inch plus VAT you can throw £20 per tyre refit and removal and still save money over some other places. But like I said, my wheels were brand spanking new, albeit in four different colours (Team Dynamics eBay special :D)

Used CAS Coatings with great results. Brand new wheels so no issues with them not offering a refurb service.

Cheers Rich! To be fair that’s the exact one I was looking at. I was thinking oil temp will give an indication of water temp anyway. I’m tempted with the SPA one but would prefer it if it was a bit more subtle. Could fit it in the drinks holder I suppose.

Just wondering if anyone finds it useful having aftermarket water temp, oil temp & oil pressure gauges on their weekend toy/track car? Obviously it’s helpful having an idea of what your engine is doing, but I haven’t seen a great deal of folk with them. Unless I haven’t been looking hard enough...

(Updating this to help other members in the future) I’ve fitted new ABS rings to the front and bled the brakes. I can engage ABS now. However it seems to alternate between working correctly, locking the rear wheels, and engaging ABS and pulling to the passenger side. Making progress at least...

Ha! Why, am I not supposed to? J/K As far as I know these are slightly uprated road pads, and previously had performed fine.
