Why not take your car as it is. When you find out you cannot go any faster then spend money ;) Too many on here go mad & never see the benefits. Too many track prepared cars that have never seen a track :quiet: I prefer standard tyres as I enjoy finding the limits of my car, also more fun on the...

Carbotech as good as it gets.

This is what happens with lots of heat, hence I would avoid on track. The tread blocks literally fly off, not confidence inspiring. In the wet be prepared as not very good.

http://samotorsporttyres.com.au/federal/fz201 These are more expensive than RSR's but soooo sexy ;)

I'm with Mark on this one. Prefer playful, controlled drifts/slides on standard tyres, running PE2s. The sticky stuff leads to too much confidence, that can end up with brown trouser moments due to speed when they let go:rasp: That said RSR's are really good value in fact I remember mentioning...

Still waiting for mine, yet mate posted his weeks after & his is being shipped :mad:

Panasonic plasma close thread! 42VT here & loving it.

Cheers mate glad I am not the only one. When I sold my Trophy buyer was amazed at the amount of oil changes etc etc hence I got a stupidly high price for it, almost free motoring for the three yrs of ownership. As for asking for prices for cambelt changes some of us can again get these done at...

What's your point? Only tightfisted owners stick to that, dought the owners on here do. Are we not car enthusiasts?

Now not knocking this car, but! 4 services in 6 yrs + is not where my money would be going. When I had my Trophy it had at least 2 or more oil changes etc every yr. Christ if you can get a 197 for 5K that is awesome, but as mentioned boxes are chocolate even on 182's .

What can a used spec'd 200 be had for? Bought my gw cup from Renault with 1600 miles on clock for £10.9 sold yr later for 12K, first recession :D

Learn how to drive it, will make more difference than any mods :D

Bought mine from Costco ;) Russ weather any good, if so give us abell & fit me in :D

The newer X range Karchers are brilliant. K5.700 is what I use, Russ bought one after using mine ;)

Found a really old one & entered info sending me a box so will see what we get?

;) :D

The latest full hd projectors will blow you away, along with the prices ;) Anyone who is fooled into thinking led is better than plasma needs to get to specsavers damn quick :D

This is his view on brakes "REALLY rate Carbotech on the Mx5 race car, was killing a set of EBC yellows in a day but the carbotech last much better and have much better feel" Been saying these for over a yr, now good to see I am not the only one ;) If you go on Nutz pm 'rodders' if you need...

Pit Crew...

Well if you look bargains can be had, mine was nearly £200 less than your budget. Yet the latest model is £1300+

Just because you have a 3d set don't mean you have to watch 3d tv. The Wimbeldon final was 3d;) I have a similar TV to one above apart from mines the VT. Plasma is the daddy for the informed buyer, viewing angles best by far. Which ever TV you get, get 'full hd', if you can get freeview hd &...

So £80 for 4 17inch speedlines was cheap then ;)

What should I be paying for 4 X 17 wheels to be powdercoated satin black? Bare wheels no tyres, weights, glue etc. Used to pay £80 now quoted £140??? Notts/Leics area.

Red, black speedlines, black roof & rear tints...........................wheres my debit card ;)

You know it makes sense. 7 trackdays so far this yr, apart from couple of fluid changes & some front discs, try that in your french buckets :rasp:

Yes, you are not wrong. When I was toying with which mx5 to buy, took a mk1 280bhp, built, fm2 out for a test FLIGHT!!!! For everyday use no good, for frightening yourself stupid YES ;) Sideways on demand even on hot sunny days :D

^^ Now you have done it everyone will be braking late like me as they never give up :D My front wheels are darker to about 2/3rds down the spokes due to heat destroying the lacquer. First it was rs2s, then rsr's now carbotecs, bugger need to find another edge :o

Awesome no problems at all. Great from cold on road & never give up on track. Been using them for 18 months now, would not use anything less. Tried most of the pads etc mentioned in this thread hence new direction. No squeals or problems, lots of other forums were raving about them so thought...

Carbotec xp8's

200. 24K need to start saving :o
