    window going down but not back up

    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.

    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...

    182 brakes, faaaaaaaade...

    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...

    My Cup on steelies

    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

    182 Remap RSTuning

    its not always about top end bhp though, its about how diff the car is to drive and mid range gains/torque.

    carbon stuff for 1*2 coming soon

    side bullets, front and rear badges and rear bumper insert would be good.

    Nicest car sound you've ever heard

    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.

    new pads = esp + service light (+ now abs light)

    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.
