amazes me how many people cant do a basic oil change them selves, i do everything on my cars unless i need a press for example then i go to a garage i worked for, they allow me to use there stuff free

im at uni doing motorsport engineering :rasp: and did some work with a race team that did alot with lotus's but i have a low post count so my knowledge is invaild

get undertrays made up to reduce drag under the car, it will also cause a venturey effect giving downforce :rasp:

put new shoes in, might be contaminated, hers was grinding a tiny bit first time she used the brakes today but then it soon disappeared, she will have to live with it untill the weather gets better and i cba to fit new shoes, i hate drum brakes :mad:

9 hour shift does things to my head... i took it out got to 50ish and slammed on the brakes a few times and it cleared up must have corroded abit due to her lack of heavy braking and me taking them off last week,

idle control?

think its rear as front disk/pads look fresh and no grooves on disk how ever when the gf breaks the rear drums seem to grind, i have removed the drum there is deffinetl 3mm of shoe material left, i sprayed them with break cleaner re assembled it and it was fine for two days now its grinding...

my t1rs have out lasted the budgets i had on before, awesome tyre and cheaper than yoko s-drives

:mad: best way of achieving this? can only get a replacement as part of the drum from renault for £200 i dont want to brake it and have to spent that much any advice ? cheers

anyone??
