Dont laugh but my neighbour and i recently had this conversation and he recommended.........Butter!!!!!! Never tried it myself nor have i seen him use it, if you try let us know how it goes!

i've got a slightly older version of that alpine unit, my ipod never leaves the glovebox! Excellent even with standard speakers.

pe2's all the way, think gsd3's have been superceded though the replacements sound good (cant remember what they are called). They got an excellent write up in the recent evo tyre test though not sure if they are available in 205/45/16.

i got the brembo hc discs, ferodo ds2500, moquip braided hoses and 5.1 fluid for around £200 off yozzasport. Money well spent, thought they were great until a few weeks back when i took the dukes pass (best road on planet) and they excelled, no fade whatsoever and they felt they were improving...

i've been going to kwik-fit for £90 a tyre fitted. They will price match anywhere, so go online and get the price from mytyres (kwik-fit rrp circa £115). Print it out and they should match the price. I just find it a more convenient option than ordering online then arranging for them to be...

106gti is an excellent little car though i've never been troubled by one

learn how to drive first for your own safety and other road users, a 1.4 will suffice till insurance gets cheaper

i was with admiral then they whacked their renewal quote up, i refused and contacted elephant got a better quote. When i received my info pack from elephant i recognised their address. Same as Admiral, same company!

I just fitted my setup from yozza on sunday. Now that they are bedding in they make a massive difference!

Nah, kept the shims in coz they help to reduce squealing (i think) which has been mentioned as a prob with these pads on alot of threads on here. Instructions for ds2500 aint that s**t hot coz they mention x number of stops then go to the pitlane and check pad wear i.e not for road use Ive...

Just fitted new pads, brembo discs and braided lines this weekend all from the good folks at yozzasport. When fitting the pads we had to skim a little (poss 2mm) from the bottom of the steel plate for the pads to sit in the caliper correctly, has anyone else had to do this? Just asking coz its...

mintex extreme=shite Smoked a set within a few weeks which were carefully run in. They never recovered from their smoke sesh. Got some ds2500, brembo hc and hoses going on on sun- yeah!
