LOL :rasp:

They squeal like you couldn't possibly imagine...non stop. Even when crawling in traffic I get a rhythymic...squeak...squeal...squeak...squeal as the wheels slowly turn. I'm running them with Brembo HCs and wear so far is no better or worse than average I'd say. Great pads though...worth the...

Cones on kerbs...pft. That's what your front valance is for!

10 years of building financial models within Excel...so I've uncovered most of its little hidden secrets and shortcuts. I've always joked that if asked what I do for a living I should just reply "Spreadsheets"... Keep the problems coming...I love a challenge LOL

If you've got pound values you want to convert to say USD, then copy the cell containing the dollar rate, then highlight the entire range of values you want to change. Edit, Paste Special, Values, Multiply. It will overwrite all cells with the recalculated USD figures.

I love the purposeful single vent on the front :approve: Disappointed in the lack so far of any crossed up smokey slidy pics though. Come on Fenster, Fred managed it in a V FFS ;) Tower at Bedford's supposed to be quite good for it.

WTF + LOL? We need to talk.

Me too. Although I've never tried them...I've just never found the HCs wanting so can't see the point of the Max discs tbh.

Only 4? Are the other 3 normal inside? Very very very rare cars then.

Is this news or have I missed it? Welcome back.

Just get on your knees and look under the rear at the shock absorber. If it's wet on the outside it's f***ed.

I love that Capri - had a massive poster of one on my wall years ago right next to one of a Lamborghini Countatch LP500. Quite embarassing really LOL

Beige leather in that? FFS.

I can offer no rational explanation for my next comment but...I think they ^^^ look alright.

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread You don't f*** about do you?!?!?!? Nice one Jay :approve:

You're joking? From the back, all I see is this...not good at all.

Amen.

38 and driving a 1.6 Zetec Focus mostly these days. Whenever I can though, I drive my 172 Cup.

Mine including the subframe/mount was 22 kgs.

Nothing wrong with that. How much fuel you use on a motorway is only slightly affected by how fast you cruise at...what really makes it drink is accelerating. Your run back...light traffic? Constant speed maintained?

How are you finding the Parada 2s Steve?

Beast.

I'd love one of those. Properly.

Do you mean rotational inertia loss? Surely it would depend on how far out from the centre the saving's made? No idea on the calculation though.

I did one on Sunday. It came out s**t. Back to the drawing board.

Nice work.

I've just been looking at pics...is getting it lower that important to me, if it's resisting roll from the springs anyway? Is a shorter version of the sportline available? Can I chop some off a la Overhaulin'?

OK, Eibach Sportlines it seems to be then. One size fits all, or are there options on ride height, spring rate etc.? I should have made it clear I'm not wanting to do this for looks, so how much it lowers it by, or how it will sit afterwards is irrelevant. What I need to minimise is the...

It attracts WAY too much attention. If it was track only they'd stay, but I can't stop driving it on the road, and I get every f***** in the world wanting to have a pop.

I need to do something about my tractor, and as Sarah's being made redundant soon, spunking north of £700 on the full monty going down the coilover route isn't an option. So, what springs are available that work with standard dampers? Standard on road feel doesn't matter, I'd want them as...
