    Have both sitting here , is the S3 better , hell yes , is it big , yes , but when i pick up my old atrix the atrix feels small and heavy . is it worth the extra money a month , only you know what 10-15 quid a month means to you and how much it will get used ..... use mine a lot , and it often...

    R888's the wrong way

    reason being they are light on the fronts and intial turn in is compromised in early laps ...... they generate more heat running backwards so it gives them more grip quick

    R888's the wrong way

    they will be fine to run backwards ....... we have even run 048's like that on purpose , and saw different tyre temps ..... plus when racing it messes with peoples heads . not if wet though .

    Snooper Tigre (speed camera detector)

    because now most of the systems used by the police are laser based , they work on line of sight , and use video with them , your detector will tell you you have been hit and the chances are if speeding they got you . False readings are from radio frequency devises like auto doors etc , very...

    Snooper Tigre (speed camera detector)

    Having run various different detectors and on a runway tested them against various police devices I think you would be very surprised ...... You can't beat natural observation when pushing on . Useful to run trackdays atva police training ground ;-)

    City powder coating

    Don't mind them taking a week , just know they are a nightmare on the phone , and don't want to drive an hour and a half on the following week to find they arn't done ...... none of the wheels has any curbing so its a fairly straight forward job .... its ideal while i am doing a rebuild job...

    Potential fine of up to £2500 , your most likely to get a vehicle defect notice , but remember that up to £2500 if they want to take you to court and make an example of you in conjunction with something else . if declared to your insurer you have no real issue on the insurance side , however...

    City powder coating

    I know they are hard to speak to on the phone , if i turn up with 2 sets of wheels to be refurbed and leave them there for a week will they get sorted ? its a bit of a journey for me but its worth saving the money on 2 sets .

    Hard brake pedal

    So lets just get this correct ..... you had a vacuum pipe issue , you have replaced it , and now when you press the pedal it feels normal to start with and goes solid half way down ? the car stops fine but sounds like you have a high pedal ? the solid feel indicates to me that its an issue...
