    Close encounters........of the porsche kind!!!

    Probably going to hold her bf/husbands arm, whilst saying something along the lines of "oh my god, are you ok? F*ck me that was close!" The evasive action was done at that point, so it seemed a perfectly normal reaction to me. Especially after the 911's splitter tried to do a Massa on them lol!!

    Another MCS. The track day toy.

    Got started this weekend ;) First up was the interior. Firstly as it just felt like i was driving around in Richard's car all the time, & secondly, because quite frankly, chrome can die in a fire :dead: As such, id bought anthracite dash trims (think these were fitted to the mini one), along...

    Killed my brakes!

    Brake hard & late, helps with weight transfer as well (but im sure you know this) dont spend 5 minutes grazing the pedal before the corner. Ducting wise, this from the fog light to the arch liner - not massively technological :o Can always spot an instructor when they use that term lol. My...

    Killed my brakes!

    Pics of what lol. I just removed the fog lights & the arch liners, then put them in the bin Seriously, if you're cooking RC8's (a pretty hardcore pad iirc) it might be an issue with your braking style?

    Killed my brakes!

    Having tried both ;) Do a few laps with pipes from fog lights through holes in arch liner. Do a few laps with everything ripped out.

    Killed my brakes!

    You simply need better pads then Cubster, RC5+ or their equivalent will solve your problem. 4 Pots would improve things further, but only if you went for a larger disc, & then there is the additional expense compared to the standard setup. Not sure what tyres you are running, but more grip =...

    Killed my brakes!

    Personally, i think you are better off just removing everything (i.e. fogs/arch liners) - having air flowing over everything is much better than directed through some poncy 3" pipe imho. Unless of course its designed using CAD & a wind tunnel because Racecar, which it wont be lol. DS2500's are...

    My Edition 30

    You'll love the R32 even more then! Standard for standard - Better brakes, better noise, better handling & more toys as standard. Mine was ace, stupid decision selling it, but needed the cash at the time.

    Dan @ 519 automotive whereabouts??!

    If you cant get hold of him via phone/email/facebook/pm etc. Take the day off, go to his workshop. Talk to him. Find out what the problem is. Take the car away.

    Handing car back on HP

    As above really, can you confirm EXACTLY what type of finance agreement you have before we advise. If it is a HP, it should say the "half way point" on the finance agreement you signed, at that point you can hand it back. You wont be there yet though, so you basically need to sell the car &...

    Another MCS. The track day toy.

    Eventually yes!! All came through in the end, he was in the Army, so out & about a lot apparently. Id like that eventually yes, although i have been rather surprised by the cost of spraying things, i.e. the front bumper/side skirts (that are currently red), so ill either spray it all myself...

    Another MCS. The track day toy.

    This project was actually started in March 2008 (by Sarah's brother), but as he moved to Dubai recently, i thought id better take it off his hands :slap: So off i went on Sunday to Cardiff on the Megabus. It cost £10.50 from London Victoria, but smelled very much of wee, so next time ill get the...

    Le Mans 2015

    Few Failsport people bailed as well. Just me/Tom/Dom/Ollie/Ross/Ben/Saner going i think. Im going back as im still p1ssed off that i didnt watch much racing this year, no Arnage, etc. 2016 it'll either be the Classic or Spa 24hrs i think. Maybe the 'Ring 24hrs. But that'll be myself as no one...

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    Its also because of the cr4p finance deals, which amusingly, are mostly caused by the cr4p residuals. The £200 a month Clio 200's were heavily subsidised by Renault (as per Fiesta ST/M135i/Golf R) to get around that, but the 200T's arent.

    R53 MCS - 240bhp - lots of extras - 40k Mileage

    Nice car, been for sale forever though, mainly because the price is way too high: http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f228/tidy-r53-sale-42874/

    Its not, ive had both through work lol - petrol 38mpg, derv 52mpg. Surely you could have picked up a '58 plate 330i, for less money than a '61 plate 318i? Still LCI.
