This thread has been pure gold haha

No need for slip. Sounds like the calipers need cleaning. When my 200 did this it was because the caliper was caked.

Only use them because they're so cheap. Having dealt with them though, they are a pain.

Looks lovely mate good work!

Brick acid I hear works well. I used Cilet bang on my old c2 wheels as they were properly grotty.

Oh dear :/

Jamsport are ford specialists really from what I understand, although I've not heard 'much' bad about them...

At least you're not wearing out your own car. Hire cars are the fastest cars in the world dont you know.

+1 for osram breakers, changed the OEM ones in my 200 to these & they're a fair bit better tbh.

OE parts make sense to an extent. But when talking about shocks it doesn't really, either buy some quality aftermarket coilovers or get some eibachs on the standard shocks. The Sachs dampers are hugely overpriced & not as good as most of sensible the aftermarket items.

My 200 felt & was quicker than my sister other halfs old 172 cup, not sure how healthy it was though lol.

They take off a lot better if you get the revs up, but then you're lunching the clutch. If you don't get them in the sweet spot they actually aren't all that quick. Good under braking though & in to bends.

Good price for that IMO. Worth more in parts.

At the right price that would be a great project for a turbo build or engine swap etc.

Basically what we did when that bird reversed in to my other halfs car.

Awesome!

Very nice

Motul RBF for me. if you are a baller srf but i can't see the value in it unless you're competing.

It was his car insurance bud, the premium went through the roof!

Blimey i'd be getting pulled in the clerks office every meeting now with my agricultural lines haha aka

My dad years ago made the mistake of telling his insurance company he competed within motorsport. Bad move!!!

Miss daisy driving ;)

You're a more patient man than me lol

Blimey, I was under the impression the new cars where more generic & were going to be built less by hand.

Is on road, not for track stuff it's not. Depends in what forum.

Depends on use really. Fully synth fluid needs changing a lot more often from experience. I would tend to change the fluid every few meetings on average if we are talking racing or heavy track work, depending again on the car & the meeting, but bleed them every meeting if it was me. Obviously...

Yep, billys love to hold that brake!

Never boiled it on the road.

I'd tend to agree with your comments within the parameters mentioned. Although the current M3 does cook brakes on track, but then where we talking about track or M3's? On the road, you need to be hammering the brakes an awful lot to boil fluid & another thing to mention is that comp fluid needs...
