Thanks a lot mate, i still have about a million things i want to do with it. So many ideas for stuff, its just a case of getting enough time to work out how to do certain things. Like all of us i suspect just not enough time or money.

Some do, some don’t. However I’ve always taken the view that If they squeal it’s a reminder of 2 things. 1) You have proper pads in there, so a bit of squeal isnt a big deal. 2) You’re not using them hard enough. Hand on heart, I’ve never had an issue. You wait, now I’ve said that, these...

If you don’t use them properly yes they squeal like a mofo. However I’ve used them in my Impreza for years, my Mini GP and my Cayman R also has RS29s all round and none of them squeal at all.

So you may or may not have read the thread discussing brake pad choices. My pads of choice arrived today, I chose these based on my own experience as I’ve used them for years on my other cars. Pagid RSL29s front Pagid RS4-2 rears I also dropped my black Turinis a the powdercoaters yesterday...

Pads have landed. Whooo!!

RPD stock them both in silver and anthracite.

Yep. Used this one on mine thanks to @Amos91 recommendation with the OEM cap. Zero issues and as good as OEM quality.

When i ordered mine from AST just before Christmas they told me they were specifically valved for the spring rates and i could go up or down on the spring rates by a small amount before they would need re-valving. I had a set of Intrax on my Mini GP1 which i really didn't rate or get on with, i...

Sounds like somethings a miss there Zach unless somethings significantly changed. I'm using R888s on the road so hardly lacking in grip and i don't have anywhere near the Citroen CV type roll you're claiming. I get weight transfer yes, but bodyroll, not really. Yes id want stiffer if racing on...

If you're jacking on the beam then the beam will still be holding the weight of the car. All be it a point closer to the fulcrum.

Even at 70/40 on the road and just above mid point damping, its significantly harsher than the Cayman Rs suspension. No way id go higher than that on the road as they car simply wont work and be awful to be in.

More than likely the production cost vs items sold. Simply they probably sell 10x the amount of front pads than they do rears. I find it equally annoying that a set of front Pagid RS29s of the Clio (which are tiny) are basically the same money as the ones for my Porsche which must be 3x the size!

Turinis without question. They look mega on there 😍

The Clio isn’t exactly lacking in rigidity however I think a front brace is more beneficial in Supporting the loads exerted by a solid Topmount providing its of the design that bolts you the topmounts such as the PMS

Funny you ask mate as i am waiting for them to be delivered. I have kind of chickened out and gone with what i know works and i like. Ive gone back to Pagid and after numerous discussions it took me little time to decide on them as i just love them. So opted for RSL29s up front and the RS4-2 for...

Funny enough im treading a similar path. I have not long fitted AST 5100s to my 182, previously on Cup dampers. The problem with many off the peg coilovers is they're designed primarily for track any are just too highly sprung for the road. Perfect for a polished surface but on bumps and...

My GP never had a rear wiper and BMW changed the whole rear screen on the GP to delete it. It was a pain in the arse sometimes but i did like the clean look on it and was one of the cool quirks of the car. Yet they then went and put huge leather heated Recaros in it #facepalm!! The Cayman...

Rear wiper blanks not my thing, but that new one looks like an OEM part. Nice job :)

I find Billberry wheel cleaner on a brush cleans the tyres nicely before applying any product. The other issue with Megs endurance is it builds up on the tyre and goes pretty sticky and messy after a while. If your tyres have a lot of texture on the sides, it can be a real pain to clean off.

To the gentleman who sent me the link for the parts by VIN website. Thank you so much indeed :)

Yellow fogs look superb, something I’m considering myself. Did you use Lamin-X?

All so satisfying to see. Some great jobs mate that really elevate the finish of the car. The belts have come out really well. 😎👌🏼

Impeccable taste and superb attention to detail Ash. Beautiful job so far, and it’s gonna be even more mega when it comes back. Wish you well with your plans dude, and looking forward to the update. 😎👌🏼

As said, buy on condition.

Then you get those losers who have every single receipt including, every MOT and tax disc, and its original bill of sale. Yet the blazin squad will tell you it’s worth f’kall because it’s got more than 120k on the clock. 😂😂

Small but satisfying job today. When I originally owned the car I was always careful around the delicate and rather fragile fuse box clip. These were fragile at the best of times, and sure enough, when I bought the car back, this had been broken off. I’d been meaning to replace the fuse box for...

Crying bro 😂

Nice job dude. Clipping that little rear arch liner makes such a difference doesn’t it. 🙂

Gonna put some covers on em this time Rob?

Another vote for Gtechniq, they do 2. T1 - Tyre Dressing and T2 Tyre & trim. T1 is like a very thin white water, really thin and easy to apply. More than durable enough for what i think you're after. T2 is still water based but a clear gel, almost like washing up liquid consitency. A bit more...
