When were they last changed ? There should be a part of the pad that squeals when it's low !
For goodness sake, don't take it to KwikFit... you'll come out with new parts worth more than a brand new car !!
Oh I didn't have time for that, JD... It took long enough as woz.
Might have another one to do on Friday, blue 59plate A4 droptop... might attempt some before/afters !

It sounds rubbish.
I tried to get some vids the other night of it's noise pre-op, but housemate appeared to lose the ability to drive properly (and I don't trust him with the camera haha) and it was FAR too dark.
I will try again soon.. hopefully...!!
Well, I dun it !
Washed, dried then taped up. Polished with kit above (Menzerna polish and finisher), IPA wipedown, machined a coat of Black Hole, then a layer of Natty's Blue.

I think I understand what he's doing, trying work back to what you'd have to gain in power but stay the same weight, but I can't see the point TBH...
Just don't worry about it haha ! :o
Wut ?
Power to weight is simply the max power out, divided by the weight.
If the car weighs 1 tonne (1000kg) and has a max power output of 172bhp, it has a 172bhp/tonne power to weight ratio. If it weighs 600kg and has 120hp, it has 200bhp/tonne.
You don't get more power by losing weight...
Hmm yeah I guess that's quite a complex cage !!
Fuel hardly weighs anyway - a full 50l tank is only 37.5kg (Petrol is 0.75kg/litre)
Working out !?
172/0.96 = 179.166 bhp/ton
T'ain't rocket science chap ! :rasp:
Have you driven a Ph2 yet !?
Who/what do you use for email ? I've used Gmail for years now, and when I got my Desire 18 months ago, it linked seamlessly with the phone, calendar and contacts etc.. I don't use the HTC mail app, Gmail wanted to use another app so I let it get on with it.
I'm still impressed with it mind, it...
Re: The Definitive Wukbrid Project
Good grief !
Think how much heavier that will be now you've replaced that nice light rust with metal ! :(
Good freakin' effort with the project though ;) !

Get a wifi checker on your phone, there's plenty of free apps.
See if there's a few networks on the same channel, and adjust to a free zone.
If that's not it, try removing all security off the router (it will be perfectly safe for a while) and see if that sticks. If it does, then the...
Fair enough Adam. Something's clearly gone wrong... levels need checking at least... I wouldn't have expected this with a pad change TBH, unless the pads were so past worn out that pushing the piston back in has emptied the reservoir all over the engine bay due to the difference in pad thickness.
