    Offside/ drivers side new Driveshaft issue

    Ive gotta say M90SR that Steve has been so much help on this issue, he's been a Godsend. He understood every issue I was complaining about, and his advice to me was copied to the Technician who did the work for me, and it has helped him out no end too. (So my Tech should receive a correct size...

    The matt is really nice effect- even better the colour can be changed pretty easy every year. I really enjoyed doing it too, except removing 3 yr old decals with a hairdryer..... Cleaning and prep is key

    Tyre and brake pad issues. Are they related?

    No, he did say hot, and I must admit the grip you get on a small tight circuit like Lydden is really good at 24psi hot. Just wipes the tyres away quickly Personally 30 hot is to high for me, as steering goes lighter on tight corners

    Tyre and brake pad issues. Are they related?

    As it happens, around half dozen had the same issue, some with brand new tyres on front nearside. Mine weren't new. Pressure was recommended by site Pro. I was recommended to go to 24psi! And no one took exception to my driving, and had a good few chats with the site Pro...……. Camber bolts...
