lol i found that out just before id taken it fully off. Not all of them are clipped in though a guide i printed of with a 2002 model was simply stuck on.
Yeah, havent you now got K-tecs pads and discs..or are you keeping it a secret?! BTW James they are kevlar pads with uprated zinc plated, x-drilled discs, £125 + VAT. You can get beefier discs (285mm) for an extra 80 or so quid.

Thats a point, some cars do max speed in fourth, not 5th as 5th is for overdrive. Would that complicate this maximum revs calculation? Also max power isnt produced at max revs so can someone explain the calculation??
Everyone seems to be changing tyres at the same time! Get the latest Autocar!
Best tyres out are the Pirelli Rossos, or as a budget tyre the Pirellli P7s

Fair point, as its dawned on me that soon i might have to drive my own car on track.
Has anyone sampled any disused airfield circuits? What are they and how would you rate them? Ive only been to bedford, which is great, but i miss the bumps and crests of a real track!
Thanks,

I dont think theres anything wrong with the name billabong, it only sounds stupid if you say it whilst doing an impression of some kind of tribesman.
Ive seen the colour and it doesnt look bad at all :oops:
I think one would look good on a silver clio.
Thing is youd have to get one made up for you as a one off, which could quite easily cost a couple of k. You could go down the essex boy route of just getting a carbon skinned one which wouldnt cost much. Eliminating these safety issues too.

rwaterman - Where do you live? I sometimes use the bexleyheath branch but try to go to blackfen branch due to the better service.
Remember APR and all that poo is negotiable like a list price.
Good luck

Ok mate took me in a drive in his VTS last night (it has 16s but no other mods). We got to an indicated 130mph so as the speedos going to be out whats the reality speed? Plus we were on a slight decline with more weight so we would of been giving it a hand!
Yeah the 125 is basically a scooter with a nicer looking body. They sound bloody annoying! (2 stroke, ahh!). Theyre not that quick off the line really, maybe from 0-30 he might have you but past then and hes screwed.
