If its not as cold Sunday might give it a quick once over. Just thought if any of people going want me to bring any of these things in my parts clear out let me know and ill stick them in boot...

If weather is not sh1te ill come through for a bit

Took my MK3 MX5 to Paul at Roddinsons Motorsport yesterday and he lowered and did the allignment and im very happy with it! It handled well before but now its got 4 new PE2s on and been set up right its brilliant! Can't recommend him enough, he knows whats he's doing and he's passionate about...

No probs Dan. "Steve" off here takes his track MX5 there and has nothing but praise for the guy. I rung him to talk about options and parts for mine and he was very helpful and knowledgable and like you say his prices are spot on. One of first things he asked me was what you using the car...

http://roddisonsmotorsport.co.uk/motorsport-services/four-wheel-alignment/ Mine will be going here at some point, heard nothing but good things about him. Hes like the "Fred" of the mx5 world!

Good work mate, i like it. Wheels really suit it

Alright Dan, what happened to your 182 mate? I can meet you again with some Brembo rear pads if you like. If you plan on doing a lot of track days then you should think about getting a cheap set of 15 inch wheels as the tyres are a lot cheaper, especially if you plan on getting R888 or...

As everyone else has said buy the best you can afford, if that means waiting for another pay day to come round then wait. The tyres from the bigger brands tend to last longer aswel. Went to a job at work lately were a young lass had ended up in a farmers field in her car on its roof. Clear b...

You literally take the paint/1mm off the "tabbs" at each end, as Keith says its to allow movement when the pads get hot they obviously expand so doing this prevents issues in the future. I know the ds2500 are around £125 posted but what's the best price/going rate posted for the Pagids RS4-2?

Ive had this before, think water was getting into one of the rear clusters. Check/Unblock the drain holes and around the seal on your boot, can get leaves/grime build up here. Check under and behind your boot carpet for signs of damp etc.

Fair play to you mate, I'll keep an eye out for this around Hudds. No doubt every journey you take while involve a cruise through town centre!

I find the standard brakes very good on the 1*2s so if for road get a good quality oem pad from the likes of Brembo, Mintex, etc. For "fast road" the Mintex M1144 and for track the ds2500, but these are overkill and a few quid if just for road imo. Keep the rear standard/good quality...

As it didn't leave the factory with them then they do class it as a mod yes mate. I do the same with the f1s and i told them that they're Renault oem fit etc and he said it didn't matter. Ive got down that i rotate 3 sets of wheels, (summer, track and winter) and it didn't cost me anything...

Obviously postage costs to factor in. Yes all Brembo front discs listed for the 1*2's are HC, whether plain or grooved (Max).

Ta lads! :D Just send me a PM Iain and ill sort you out mate. Payment via PayPal and sent by next day courier and i have plenty stock in, unlike most ebay companies despite what their listings say. cheers George

8mm when new and 7mm min thickness on the rear discs mate

Good pics mate, ta!

Brembo make OE discs, HC (high carbon) and Max (high carbon and grooved) discs. If a car came from the factory with HC discs like the 1*2s and meg 225 then the Brembo discs for them will be.

Like them all mate! Look nice and tidy :D

Price please or you're lying ;)

Hopefully sainsburys will come good again, dropped on last couple of cod releases for around £27 on day of release so if im passing ill call in. Feck paying over odds for it to have a couple days early, and queing up at midnight outside a shop like my mate plans to is just mental tbh.

Pretty impressive stuff mate. These fairly new as never heard of them, bet they arn't cheap!

The Toyo R1R may be another choice to think about mate. They are 6.5mm new and 140 tread wear and £64 on camskill compared to the r888 which are £108 (in 195 50 15). When my r888 need replacing next year i may try the R1R out or the Yoko ad08 as similar price.

Thanks Andy, better safe than sorry eh though mate. I never received a PM from yourself, will send you one now with ordering info on. cheers George

One or two ;) : http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?602248-The-Brembo-Man-G172.

All prices are in my Traders section mate. But £79 posted for pair of Brembo rear discs with bearings in or £101 with Brembo oem pads aswel. PM me to order :). That link looks a good price, but you will get charged £5-10 a wheel for fitting and desposing of old tyre etc. So ask a few local...

You will get more miles out of the contis so are cheaper long term as you won't have to replace them as quickly. I'd spend that bit extra on the tyres and leave the refurb for a few month personally mate. Rear discs aren't expensive either ;)

195-45-16 on your cup. I've used both contisport contact and mich pe2s both very good road tyres. Sometimes cost co have offers on the Michelin, give them a ring.

Haven't used them myself but this place gets raved about by the MX5 lads. Steve off here uses them. http://roddisonsmotorsport.co.uk/motorsport-services/four-wheel-alignment/ Maybe worth a call if local to you.
