Well seeing as weather has turned i removed the RS2's & Pro race & replaced with standards & new PE2's.
Lost turn in bite on dry roads & encountering some slight roll possibly due to 205/45/17 now & was 215/40/17.
Got Donington this Fri & weather forcast is wet so thought PE2's would be safer. :D
5 was due service so took along to race prep company & they used the above.
The oil i used for last 6 months was Shell helix Ultra & it was well dirty so did it's job of flushing out crap!
There race cars use this as 5's have the Ford 2.0 unit in them.
Total price for service £100, included...

This guy has just removed the last few dings from my motor & as always his work is excellent.

Well was not having grey powdercoat as thats what the silver looks like.
So mate asked if he could have a go.
Got the powercans silver & lacquer, some pads & cleaner.
Dropped them off & couple of days later, done.
To say they were curbed & blistered would be an understatment as anyone who...
Want original wheels sorting as few curbs etc.
But, don't want them looking grey!
The chap who has done my last 3 sets says he would wet paint rather than PC.
That way i'll be able to get the metalic flecks as original.
Any other ideas?
When i bought the 5 the rear bumper had a chipsaway effort on rear & front was badly peppered.
Today for three days it's in having front & rear bumper sprayed up for £250.
Seems when i arrived the boss had given me a price & according to estimator theres no proffit in this job.
They even...
Looking at pad options for the 5 as have a few events lined up.
The race guys use 'carbotec' but these are £300 for full set.
I can get Yellows for £120 for full set.
I know the green & red fall to bits (on track) but anyone used yellows??
Used to be with Greenlight with the 197 Cup, £387 + £50 per trackday.
Well i'm now with a company called Richard Egger in Nottingham.
£418 fully comp protected etc etc, with cover for '4 trackdays' included :D
Now got 2.0 Sport MX5.
May be worth a call to see if they cover Renaults etc.
