Welcome to the forum. I'd say just mess around with it and learn as much as you can, if it's not a car your going to keep I'd probably be tempted to strip it down rebuild the engine on the cheap n have a little fun. ask around any local farms if you can rag it round a field after it's been cut etc.

My bonnets abit of a mess covered in stone chips, strangely the bumpers not too bad. Anyone got any recommendations for resprays in the NW Chester area. A

As above or your system could do with a bleed.

For Cheap performance road pads Mintex pads seem to be popular if you want to spend a little more fedoro DS2500. Pm G 172 on here you will get an extensive reply on what your pad and disk options are.

Looks like a cracker! What sort of figure you aiming for after the remap?

Low end power would be more useful as its a road car and I normally don't floor it any chance I get.

Followed this out of rhyl in a BMW 5 series estate the other day, looked good apart from the exhaust.

Tempted but ,what's the weight of the new system?

Cheers guys looks like it will just about do it. Reversing is an issue because of getting in and out.

Damnnnn they look cool!

Just standards at the mo, hopefully I should have 35mm will check later on otherwise plywood sounds like a good idea.

Ideally yes but apparently fresh tarmac will ruin the appearance of the drive. :rolleyes: I'm hoping it will just about squeeze in otherwise I will be brushing the gravel back sticking fresh tarmac underneath then brushing it back on top but I could do without the hassle/expense. Don't suppose...

Ask and ye shall receive. :)

Basically my garage used to be a bungalow that we converted so it has a ramp about the height of a speed bumb to get in and out am I going to have issues? Annoy one nearby fancy trying it out ? :rasp: Will grab arb a pic later.

This looks sweet as, always wanted a supra myself!

Just dropped off at Birchdown, now in a green ph1 for the day. :D

Is the grate locked? I wouldn't imagine it will have washed away just depends how much craps in there

Any suggestions for something to removing the caked on dirt in the arches/underneath.

Sorry probably should have phrased that better seems to be symptom of using that calliper on the Clio. Filing the pads back can help along with copper grease, I would hazard a guess it might be something to do with the disk thickness. I gave up myself and switched to the 197 calliper...

It's a symptom of the 406 caliper I believe.

Add spacers to that list too.

I'd prefer a high milage car they tend to have had more maintenance despite the miles look for one that has equal amounts of miles between mots.

Tbh unless your tracking it drilled n grooved discs are pointless, spend your money on the pads not the disc.

Tbf Birchdown are great on price you just have to book a month in advance. ;) As for the top mounts unless there perished or damaged I wouldn't bother replacing them personally but its your call.

From this: To this: Next up cars going over to birchdown to have the Cam cover resealed and the belts done. :)

Only problem I can forsee is stretching the threads by over tightening the wheel bolts.
