Danny I have like all of your old mixes on my iPhone, they blare out the car in the summer, I haven't seen you on here for ages! Any new stuff to DL on your website?
Awesome choice mate, proper awesome spec.
I can't quite believe you found one with that spec.

One thing, those seat bolsters look like they need a bit of help, there's a place in bradford...
FYI your local wheel shop, not just a tyre place, but one that sells alloys too, should be able to supply you with spigot rings. They'll even check they fit etc. That's what I did and he charged me £7.50 per ring I think (metal).
Did Rob take those fronts with him?
Car looks proper smart in comparison to what it did Ant!
Need to get those track wheels cleaned up, before that brake dust eats that wonderful finish..
Chris: Badly in the wet, with Ant driving it (faster than me) he was on par, but I was being overtaken left right and centre.
Kev: It's back to looking pretty again now, wheels off and full clean yesterday.
It's nice to have a car that can be both ends of the scale, power wagon, then swap...
You were correct.
Checked today, they are vented, but I'm pretty sure they're only 286's not 300mm discs.
It was great fun thanks yeah and Dan did a great job with the pics.
After a bit of searching, I have found some things to check with the brakes...
First off, being an early model, the like for like replacement could be a 286mm SOLID disc... now apparently this can be replaced with 300mm VENTED discs.
If I am infact running solid discs on the front, this will...
BTW I wasn't knocking it, I like it, just needs to start being worked on.
One way or the other will get it looking good (tidier body or badman lowz etc), just not as it is ;)
Sorry mate, I didn't think you'd asked anything :o
Fuel, average on the way down there and back was just about 38mpg, average around the track, for the whole day, was 9.1mpg
The roof, inside it's quiet as a mouse, fair quieter in fact than the Clio (not as quiet as the 320, obiously).
With...
Yeah me and Ant were talking about it. There's space for one in my garage too.
We did the Burpspeed Llandow trackday mate, did you not see the thread? Much cheapness for lots of driving!
We had pirelli pzero's on the back and some goodyear tyres on the front. We were running 255's on the...
I really hope not! As ant says, one day we used over 50% of the pad, and they were fading within four laps!
Nice to meet you too mate, shame I didn't get a passenger ride out in the MX, would have liked to see how it went. RWD was definitely fun, I can't wait to start finding my feet with it...
LOL! Thanks for the info. We probably cooked the fluid with the amount of abuse the pedal had to take... :o so I'll look at replacing it anyway. Any idea what the pads were? Horrific doesn't even come close!
It was awesome fun mate, really really enjoyed myself. Wasn't setting any land speed records, but I had great fun. The brakes are beyond normal bad, they're utterly awful.
The wheels themselves are pretty cool TBH, with the right tyres all the way around and painted just in the graphite grey...
Sorry... ;)
Thanks to Dan for the awesome photos. The verdict - Car: Awesome. Brakes: Utterly shocking. FOUR laps and they were dying off in a big way.
Rear braided lines to bit fitted ASAP along with some new pads and some new fluid.
