It looks like that all the way round. Because of the angle i took the photo you can't see some of it so might look like a crack.

@dann2707 End of the day it's your car, modify it how you want. I'm sure if i ever got one i would do things differently because im not you lol.

Something like this? Not this exact car, just thinking of the engine/package as a whole. 240bhp then could remap that to 280 ish would be plenty. Or could go for the 330i instead with a better engine/tuning potential...

Thanks just wanted some reassurance, will get them on soon :)

I got some better pictures of the disc. Not worried about the first picture as that's just surface. This second one looks a bit worse.

To me it looks like the shiny silver part of the coating has actually come off, that's why i was worried.

Cheers lads :)

Picked up a brake upgrade the other day and was slightly worried about the discs. They are smooth and are basically new thickness, just a bit of flaking. Will these still be alright to use?

Wow didn't realise it was that easy to change the paddle function!

@dann2707 If that headlight protection lacquer ends up going wrong use ceramic coating next time and it will stay clear for years. There is one round the corner from my work i keep seeing! I need to drive one :(

@Dr Jekyll Didn't you fancy putting on any PPF or ceramic coating after your fresh paint? Seems a bit of a shame your touching in stone chips :(

Agree, go to Beaniesport in MK, i have used him and Armstrong Autos before. I have used Engine Dynamics (Alex from AW used to work there)

Go back 10 years ago and those people in Golf R's, 135i etc were probably in a Vauxhall.

Isn't that just a version of the Vauxhall engine?

Yer the diff and the suspension make the nurburgring one. If you got a normal one cheap enough and did the same mods on sure it would be just as good. Not sure if they tweaked other areas. I would be tempted to fit the engine from the H as I believe they are forged? The Astra just wasnt raw...

I drove a Corsa Vxr nurburgring on track back to back with a normal one and the difference was night and day. I wouldn't buy a standard one let's put it that way. I drove the latest Astra vxr if that's the j shape across Europe probably doing 1500miles and it was just a meh experience. Gearbox...

Clio 182 cats are pretty much sports cats iirc if you wanted to go down getting a used one. Couldn't comment on aftermarket one.

Tbh i thought about messaging you about the car at one point, but didn't want to insult you at £3k.

Depends how much you want to spend, Logitech G27/29 are good. Also have things from Fanatec, it depends on the type of wheel you want, if it's belt driven, direct drive and how much you want to spend.

Would prefer an SRI turbo as it's more stealthy and pretty similar.

Love this, you can use a heat gun on the plastics rather than back to black, lasts longer and its cheaper. As others have said easy to turn the boost up and running it on veg is a no brainer. I'm sure you know to thin it out a bit more when it gets cold as i think @dann2707 found out IIRC

Information for anyone else interested in the Super cards. https://wccftech.com/exclusive-nvidias-super-gpus-unleashing-monsters/

There is alot of information regarding the super cards. Including the 2080ti super which will feature a new chip rather then just a memory change. Wasnt trying to offend you or anything just didnt know if you were aware of it. Glad your enjoying it.

You can always do the XHP gearbox upgrade aswell which really wakes the gearbox up!

Dont mean to rain on your parade, but I hope you got a good deal as Nvidia are releasing the super RTX cards next week I believe and the 2080 ti is going to be a whole new chip at the same price as a normal 2080 ti and the "standard" one is getting a price reduction...

@Brigsy isnt the issue with the injectors when you have problems starting from cold? Well at least that was the problem with mine. Started fine when hot, but bumped it on cold. Did a leak down test and 3 were toast.

@tmoss93 have you spoken to Pure about the issue? Surely it has warranty?

@Sir_Dave doesn't buy anything from "up north" ?

I will be watching with a very keen interest....
