Definitely a difference, noticeably more punch under 5k. Will be getting mine done by that M.S. Custom Engineering bloke at some point.

Just standard, so 32-30. Can't really compare since these are the only set of tyres I've had on this on the road, I don't have a problem with the feel though. What did you run previously? T1R's are shite though I know that.

Yeah potentially that could have done it maybe, in combo with the heat etc. I'm no expert on it really. Maybe @George@RTR_Parts could advise on what causes it?

Didn't realise you were around the Manchester area Darren, never come across another BG around the NW in its entirety!

Never heard of it happening on those. Heard of it happening on the Carbone Lorraines on a number of occasions. DS1.11's should be perfect for your needs just as a track car really, shame that's happened. Usually happens because people run track pads on the road which have no weather protection...

We're in 2017 and there are still people saying their near standard 1*2 made 200hp+ on the rolling road. Strewth.

Up for coming along, won't put my car on though probably, which isn't much use to you at this stage lol.

Also worth changing your fluid if you're running standard stuff, otherwise the standard stuff will boil really easily. The ATE Type 200 is cheap and really good.

Fair enough. It isn't too bad drone wise when on partial throttle or cruise at like 70 ish, but above that it is a bit noisy for a motorway car really. Well worth it for when you're giving it some though!

Could potentially be @jesus. I think I saw him too near Piccadilly station the other week.

Are you ever not breaking a car? :wink:

Looks like someone took a dump down your scuttle LOL!

Would easily get that if you sold it with all of those bits on it. I'd say you could sell that for £1500 ish.

Head=Break it. Heart=Sell it. Get more money from bits, just sad to see another Ph1 get killed off, I've done one myself.

Cheers! Got some goodies on the way too, can't wait for it all to get here.

Good progress! Sounding like a lot of general TLC jobs like mine has needed.

That, and just the usual silly things like door seals, the window seals (should be perfectly flat to the window at the bottom on the outside) etc.

Have to become bulimic next to get that extra 0.002 seconds a lap shaved off.

Sounds good! That the Type 200 or the PBF 660? Me and James are doing similar on mine soon funnily enough, new rear disks and pads, all of the remaining Powerflex stuff I haven't already done, and other stuff.

Booked in at Gary's on the 5th IIRC?

Going to nick that one with mine in it in the middle next to Adrian's FRS, cheers mate!

Yeah was a good drive! Less traffic would have been ideal but what can you do, great roads and weather nonetheless!

Haha yup! Not far off though.

Ah I see! Always have a bit of a blast up there, bloody 520D wouldn't get out of my way haha.

Just then? Might have been...:wink:

Cheers! How quiet is it as just a cat back? Interesting to hear how much difference the decat decat and centre section make. Yeah the wiper arm is a bit annoying, can't really use second hand ones either because they corrode and then slip if you try to reuse a second hand one, so it's a £30 bill...

Be reet. It'll never be a Rolls Royce haha!

Ordered mine from Kam. I've gone for 8/8 though so will be a lot harder than yours, they have anything from 4 to 10 now for the fronts.

What spring rates did you go for mate?

Yeah to be fair as above, 182's are that cheap these days you could buy one as well to see if you like it.
