No thanks. Set fire to your money, it'll be quicker, easier, and more fun.

That's got to be an error, my Cup makes that with just a panel and decat! I know Jay (Burp) had a problem with his 172 running approx. 134 ATW, but that was traced back to the cambelt being a tooth or so out. I'm sure if Ben did it (changed/fitted a new one for you) it'll be spot...

Nice clip, looked like a lot of fun.

LOL No power steering, a tiny 300 mm polyurethane (plastic) steering wheel, and sweaty palms on track? I'd be a liability without gloves! Seeing as I need them on track I wear them all the time on road too, that way the car never 'feels' different between road/track.

Free.

I don't tend to do wheels, but it looks great on the latest set (non sparkly ones).

At least when mine was taken on 7 Jan this year, they broke in while we were out at work. Luckily it was found the next day, 1/3 mile away. All I had to do was change the locks...so it wasn't worth claiming on the insurance. The reason they took mine was for a quick getaway to wherever...

Nice one mr EG.

I would of told him they were, I thought they were. One of mine was not straight, so I straightened it by hand, it didn't feel bolted to anything.

Thanks. Question was intended for the OP...

What's your home setup like? Must be worth £10,000s?

Err, I was the one that was confused...in those videos the pads were PF97s...I was given them and told they were Carbon Lorraines...oops! I've got real CLs on now :approve: To answer the original question, if you need to use your car for an average amount of road miles, stick with Pagid...

There are no spring clips or shims to hold the pads in place in the calipers, they're a loose fit, clanking and rattling around in the caliper over every road bump. Until they get hot that is, then they expand, fill the caliper, and stop clanking. So while they're cold, and being use...

Same. CLs.

No matter how much I urge her to try it, my wife refuses point blank to drive my Cup now.

I like that. Functional.

185s! I've got 205s being fitted this week, I'm dreading that. It's only heavy at walking pace...once rolling it's OK.

This was after about 5 miles of roundabouts and dual carriageways, so I think he 'allowed' me to get past quickly. Earlier on...on some footage I can't upload, he was much harder work. Ali? Wuss.

LOL at petty. If you left your car door open and the keys in the ignistion, you'd have no problem with me taking it for a spin then? How about I put it round a track while I'm at it? Or would you call me a c**t for taking something that I have no right to, and that someone else has paid for?

Good job Ady, you'll need all of that for just one of my doors.

Not quite yet...somewhere around 193 at the moment.

Well, killed is a strong word, so maybe annihilated would be better :rasp: Love the manual rack, covered almost 300 miles on it and it's much more manageable now I've gotten used to it. New brakes make a f***ing racket, clanking and rattling in the calipers, and squealing like nothing I've...

PF97s then as wear and dust won't be an issue for you.

I personally think the PF97s are better. Not because they stop you better than the Blues (they don't), or because they're cheaper (7k miles vs 30k miles!)...but because of how they feel. Pagid Blues I found just did their thing, day in day out. You press, you stop. You press harder, you stop...

Interesting... My full interior inclusing door cards and carpets was 65 kgs. The door cards came in at 9 kgs and the carpet was 12 kgs...leaving 44 kgs for the balance compared to your loss of 30kgs :S

They work fine from cold...don't have quite the initial bite that standard pads do, but press the pedal and you stop. Dust wise, they are nowhere near as bad as the PF97s...mostly because they don't wear anywhere near as quick. I got 30k from a set of Pagid Blues, and 7k from PF97s.

They're worth every penny.

That interior is hideousness personified. WTF was he thinking?

Nice Chris.
