my old 106 gti did this, i lowered the window an inch and it wouldnt go back up. it would still go down though it was something about the polarity in the motor not switching. best bet have a local auto electrician have a look mate.
as above and maybe 8bhp if combined with other basic breathing mods, people say its the midrange drivability thats the most differnce though and how much more drivable they are.
i was thinking the pe2's would be better on wet track the problem is taking 2 sets and storing them not all the track days coming up have garages.
i already have the yokos mate on my 15's and thankfully as i bought 8 of them (mate needed 4 as well) they only cost £134 for all 4, costco want...
few track days coming up next few months and exect a few to be in rain.
i have 2 choices my std 16's with std michelin pe2's with about 4-5mm left all round or a set of spare 15's with brand new yoko parada spec 2's.
i used the parada round silverstone in horrible weater and they were quite...
i just did mine today with mobil 1 fully sync 0w-40
local costco do it quite good price
for topping up for the next few weeks just get some halfords 5w40 that should be fine, some use 10w40 as it doesnt get that cold over here but 5w40 is what renault say
24seven - i run similar brembo hc discs, goodridge hoses front/rear and some 5.1 fluid only diff is that i am using the mintex m1155 all round though at the minute.
germanswedishfrench are cheapest place i found for discs.
im experimenting with pads at the minute, using brembo hc, goodridge hoses front and rear with 5.1 fluid combined with mintex m1155 all round at the moment and although you do get a little squeal at certain cold temps they are very strong. a little more on/off with feel than softer pads but...
thats some fancy company, always a few porkers at oulton.
im at oulton 28th nov, angelsey end oct.
there is something quite liberating about smoking round on the 15's which rubber wise are cheap as hell compared to the £100+ for the pe2's
i have a set of steelies as well, i painted mine gloss black though and decided to do a 2 inch wide arctic blue stripe from centre to the edge and few coats laquer.
4 x 2005 steelies with tyres were £5.50 binned the tyres and fitted some yoko parada spec 2's used them at silverstone and will...
not really for road use, the carbone lorraine squeal horrible.
i use brembo hc discs (german swedish and french) stainless steel braided hoses from hosesolutions.co.uk, brake fluid from opieoils and i am using mintex at the moment some fast roads pads but i wouldnt say these are really for...
an f40 going past on a runway at max mph, you could hear the air cracking round it like a shock wave as it approached, then the engine, then exhaust and the final sound was the air being ripped apart after it passed.
i found a chip which has led to a 1 inch crack in my screen right at the bottom, it seems to have grown a bit today so nipped to autoglass and they said its only chips they repair and if there is a crack i will need a new one, going to check my insurance policy.
is that right
crack = new...
should be fine mate, dont worry. no reason why a few hours underwater would case any real issues just make sure they are holding pressure through the valves.
thats me !
pic number 8 the blue 182 just coming off track with my steelies on you can just make out the blue stripe on them (just about), i appear to be trying to pick my nose through my helmet lol
any chance of e-mailing me the pic please craig, some great shots and i bet you struggled to...
i had these mate and were ok for normal road use but they faded quite quickly on country roads, i wouldnt buy them again. i have just taken a set of these front pads off after 2 months and replaced them. they have only done about 800 miles i just didnt like them.
mintex m1144/m1155 are good...
its normal, civic type r's do it even worse.
on my 16's with mich pe2's it does it (new tread) my track 15's with parada spec2's dont though thats with t/c off the stiff front suspension doesnt help.
feels horrible though.
i did a search and saw some people mention that switch, i wasnt thinking it would be that as to much a coincidence it was the evening after new pads.
the light stayed on for the first minute this morning after a night rest, and then went off. will keep an eye on it.
had new brembo hc discs, fluid and braided hoses about 3 months ago along with some new pads. everything was fine.
pads were rubbish though so had some mintex fast road jobbies fitted today test drive was fine no clunks etc, went out tonight while roads quiet to do some light bedding in did...
anyone know what the script is with track time, bought some with my ticket but when do i find out what time my session is? anyone know how they work it this year?
