I never felt any difference between toyo's and F1's

Placebo effect.... If a blind test was done most would not be able to tell, for a start the suspension is full of rubber bushings.

I think your wasting your time, he obviously is a business man rather than enthusiast. He doesnt understand (or care) how they work. Once again for the dumb people these offer no advantage other than emptying your wallet. On such a new car i would bet one wouldnt be noticable even on the front.

Its a known issue with performance pads, they create lots of dust. If you are not very keen on cleaning your car this dust then eats into your wheels and paint.....

Judging by the pics posted, i fail to see how it would offer any benefit. This would be due to the design of the brace and the fact that the car doesnt have struts at the rear......

Much like a rear strut brace on a clio ;)

Common sense really.... All cages require plates welding to the floor, its to stop the cage punching through the thin floor on any impact.

The cage in the car shown has a diagonal and harness bars?

Use 15" wheels as you will get a greater choice, they mostly come in motorsport optimised sizes.

The diagonal bar is there as its also got harness bars.

For the kids sake i wouldnt bother.... The diagonals make a massive difference to the strength of the structure.

The rear diagonal runs directly across the rear seat, ie from the main hoop above the drivers head to the passenger side rear turret area. AFAIK you can get the S/D one with a removable diagonal but what would be the point?

The classes which require interior to be fitted often render it unusable once a cage is fitted.

You will soon get bored of the climbing frame getting in the way, 6 point cages are more for protection than for stiffening up the car. They are just too much of a compromise, if you want a true track car get a multi point and strip the car. IMHO they are just dangerous in road cars especially...

I did numerous trackdays using DS pads over a period of 2 years, the discs were barely worn and the pads were about half worn when i sold the car.

No point in a road car, also check you can still get insurance as many companies will run a mile. Plus they are not the best things to bang your head on should you have an accident, in motorsport you wear a helmet. Oh and £1200 to supply and fit a cage is obscenely expensive!

Its usually because its leaking and sucking air in somewhere.

I payed £850 for a full car 3years ago, the car was stripped (no glass or interior) and it was a factory finish paint job.

New exhaust time then! Take it back as its unfit for purpose.

Gap insurance is a right con, you wouldnt need it if they paid out the true value. Always knock back there first offer and fight even if it takes months.

Bilstein, Ohlins, Reiger.

You can call yourself a technician when you have at least an HNC, have you?

me at castle combe,

I'm still on the lookout for a good lotus sunbeam or ti

My mate knocked down 6 concrete fence posts in a customers gti. There wasnt a straight panel or window left in it, he spent 2 days in hospital :S It was only in for a service :( The dealer was forced to buy them a new car.

R/R have variable load, you can make them read any figure you want within reason.

^^^ 9bhp from a filter PMSL.

Yeah right. I've heard all the stories from mates that work in the trade.
