Argue the toss with the insurance about the price they give you. They will try and offer you sh*t money, do your research and see what it would cost to physically go out & buy the same car again then take it up with them.

He's a good bloke, used to work with my old man. Chris Goodwin his name is, raced an F1 for Parabolica with Ayles @ Le Mans, beautiful car as well.

Depends how often you sit in traffic or need to do hill starts lol. Paddle clutches are even worse, feel like putting in a whiplash claim after road use.

It will do your head in eventually.

Fair point, I have read the article however & failed to see anything regarding what you've said, but it wouldn't be the first time something had been missed out.

My 200 did this on the rear, stripped & cleaned all the calipers, sorted the problem for me.

Haha no worries, not sure what you mean by oh wait... If weather or standing water was involved then fair enough, loads of billy's bin it from aquaplaning, usually because they panic & hit the anchors lol.

Woah there little pony, when did I say it was on a public road? get your facts right. Was at Thruxton.

Slightly different though, as there is no mention of bad weather or standing water.

Would have to be pretty spectacular. I've had tyres let go at over a tonne & managed to keep it out of the scenary.

How do you spin a car @ 50 without driving like a tit

My 200 took about three months from memory, turned up a little earlier than they planned. I don't think the new EDC car takes as long to build as the old shape though..

In my op, the 197 for everyday use will be easier to live with & be just as fun for the most part. But then that very much differs depending on your views..

Sweet jesus

Money does not buy talent - all the gear no idea!

Stickers look gash, all IMO ofcourse.

Sort the brakes.

Re: My new project - 106 GTI Love these

Nice work

Decent cars if you aren't bothered about a badge.

Welcome, Nice that you're excited :) Enjoy

Did you bleed it properly? How much fluid have you put through it? What level is the resovoir at?

The holder infront of the gear stick is about as useful as Anne Franks drum kit

Welcome along, sorry to see of your damage. Some real dicks in this world.

For future ref, the chap above G 172 is spot on for braking bits and bobs if you need anything else. Never used the KTec ones so can't comment I'm affraid, maybe someone else has... No problem mate :) glad we can help

With regards to the standard Brembo HC discs on the 200 they will be fine for the most part. http://www.ctbrakes.com/faqs.asp#bedding4 Not bad advice here.

Hel lines would be my choice. We all learn the hard way mate, the standard pads are too soft for the constant hammering they get on track. Especially when you're learning a circuit, a lot of people tend to over use the brakes & cook them.

If it's vibrating through (pulsating) then to me that says warped/deposits IMO.
