Forgot to mention also have Autoglym glass cleaner and glass polish. Do have the wonder glass stuff but hate the mess it creates when you rub off.
Have Gold class trim detailer too and also a cosmo (same as meguiars) random orbit polisher.
Was thinking of supplementing with some sealant...
Have Meguiars 3 stage System. Also Gold Class wash and wax, scratch x, clay. Autoglym for leather cleaner and cnditioner and also the interior shampoo. Lots of microfibre cloths, meguiars water magnet and both microfibre and wollen mitts.
Anything else worth getting to supplemnet products I...
A lot of people rate the Brembo Max which are £60 from GSF. I paid a lot more for Tarox G88 but like them. Some people have been picking up Red dot 20 groovers cheap lately, from ebay and Halfords.
TBH brakes are somthing you shouldn't skimp on so eiother get standard GSF disks and good...
Found this so I thought it may be of use to others:
DOT3
DOT3 brake fluid is the "conventional" brake fluid used in most vehicles.
Advantages:
DOT3 fluid is inexpensive, and available at most gas stations, department stores, and any auto parts store.
Disadvantages:
DOT3...
Engine flush like Forte is put in the engine and idled for a period. I assume this mixes it with the oil. Then will come out will all the oil.
If all the oil does not drain, then what is left will have a small mixture of flush in it and this will be miniscule when 5 litres of oil is added...
Depends if you want adjustable damping. I didn't feel I'd bothe radjusting so went with the Highsports rather than Konigsports.
Got mine 3 years ago and the adjustable rings haven't rusted. Yoy get good spanners and a spray can of stuff to spray them with once in a while. Place I got mine...
I think I am the only one liking the Ultraleggeras. Everyone seems to prefer the Superlegeera. Guess it's what you are used to.
These seem to be cheaper and lighter than the Turini so think this is the way I am gonna go. Just the colour decision to make.
I like them. Although will have to see them on. May even go for the grey if I can't get gold. Have been priced for a special order gold whioch works out £150 more than silver. Daft as that is like buying new wheels and paying to get them refurbed a different colour.
Turinis are everywhere...
Think I could get my Phase 2s refurbed for £140. I am thinking I would rather put that towards new wheels and get something a bit fresher.
OZ website is down so cannot access their pics of wheels for photoshop purposes..
Thin Brun who works at Motor World said you can get some. Possibly lucas ones but best check with him or he may reply to this.
I have silvervision bulbs I can use but pointless with the yellow plastic inside the lens.
Have been thinking about Turinis in Gold for a while to set of my Valver which is Williams Blue.
Don't want to try and copy a Williams by adding Williams wheels but the blue and gold is just right, as per Subarus.......
So to be different I am thinking of getting the Ultraleggera by OZ in...
Cheapest I have been quoted is £550 inc cliosport discount from Carnoisseur in Southend (Chris). Over a year ago I was quoted £480 cheapest (Applied Styling) but can't get hold of him and guess prices have gone up.
We also get club discount from Speedline themselves so might be worth...
Fixing costs nowt. Replacement will be an excess of anything up to 75 quid but does not hurt your NCD.
I had a chip from doing near a ton on the M1 with a stone coming of a lorry. Left it too long to get fixed and although they did a repair, muck had got in by then so you can still see...
Have used Forte engine flush (as available from ebay) that is normally only used by proper garages. Find the whole range works.
Some people say you don't want to get rid of crap inside engine which can plug holes and stop leaks but I think its mad putting new oil in an engine that still has...
Had mine 5 years and paid 5k for it in January 2001. Had 44k miles on then and now it had 115k.
It has never broken down. Refused to start twice when not used for a period of a week or two in winter which resulted in new battery, dizzy and rotor. Possibly first change so 8 years isn't that...
Always squeeze near 50 litres in mine at fill ups at 87.9 for super unleaded (sainsburys)
You have a 5-7 litre reserve tank. I usually gauge 40 miles of distance from when light is constantly on. Only misjudges once 0.5 mile away from petrol station.
You also can get a bit more in after...
Valver just looks right with arches and bulges and extra dials are helpful.
This seems a good buy:

But then you still miss the presence that a Valver or Williams...
Yeah rubber does not seems as tacky when new. When they are scrubbed a bit you will notice small stones etc sticking to them.
Until they are worn in they can be a bit slippy I found so best to just take it easy until you are happy with their grip. Best tyre I have ever used but they are not...
Mapping gets best of mods you have but due to cost should usually be the last thing you do. As if you go a step further you will have to pay nearly the same again to remap to your cars new spec. Like a remp before and after cams.
Wayne at chipwizard currently has a 2 week waiting list.
ECUs are much less than a remap these days. Think my BB chip for Valver was circa £250 and sure it went up to about £350 which is chipwizard money.
They are actually doing R Tuner now which I think is liek the SMT and Dastek so another option.
Still say a chipwizard remap is better and...
