Good lord it gets worse.

Exactly the kind of place i'd imagined it would be.

Mother of god.

No problem bud. Glad to of helped.

My input.

This is amazing.

Probably a clio sport engine opposed to Ren Sport? Still a massive heap either way.

+1.

I'd agree mate. As said tho the ones in Big MW are all ex rep mobiles. A lot with accident damage. None of them are loved cars.

I know both, Big MW is up the road from my mrs's who lives in Platt (Borough Green). They sell some criminally bad cars in that place lol.

Nice mate. Love the RB's.

I'm not far from you bud.

Rears on my 200 do it all the time bud. Get on the anchors & it clears them off nicely.

Awesome.

Pretty much yeah, basically puts the brakes through a cycle & cleans off the disc. Problem occurs when sitting at traffic lights for example with hot brakes, the pads transfer to the disc.

I get it sometimes on my 200. No doubt everyone will have a different way of going about it but I get the brakes hot after a few heavy ish braking sets & then drive for a while without using the brakes to let them cool. park without the h-brake on (leave it in gear). Works for me.

Sounds like pad residue on discs tbh or "warping".

Can't say I've ever had problems late braking on standard modified set ups. Besides braking late is only good if you have the grip to corner at the entry speed without scrubbing off speed & ruining your exit run. The idea is to enter at a usable speed if you need to lift or god forbid brake...

I've always wanted gromits in my roof ;)

It has its place, but as you say on track days it's bad practice tbh. See so many people over driving cars, very entertaining tho lol.

I agree with Harv tbh. Seen so many people being gradual on brakes which cooks the life out of them. Power-brake-turn in-power. As quickly smoothly & efficiently as possible.

Welcome, I know many have there reasons for changing from the corsas having had a VXR as company cars in the past I understand. I'm interested to know what your reasons were to change?

Worst image in the world lol.

If it was me, I'd probably try & locate the leak first with a watering can. Sort that out & go from there about the clean up operation. I'd probably try and towel soak the majority of the water & park it in the garage leaving it to properly dry with air getting to it. With the sunroof I...

I wouldn't bother. There are better kits out there if you're wanting to throw money at it & IMO Wilwoods aren't all that great. If you're looking for more stopping power get a good set of pads & discs combo with fluid & hoses & maybe some ducting. If you're struggling with them I'd sooner look...

Terrible. Easy to say what you'd do in this scenario, but when it actually happens it's a different story. Sorry to hear it bud.

Oh & they drink oil as well ;)

Probably not those Bridgestone's they use are enduro tyres practically made out of wood lol. The chassis is an old 97 Birel job or something, massively stiff haha.

Not very economical & have heard horror stories about reliability (I work with Jap cars) Certainly with the RX8's which is the same idea being a w**kell motor they seem to start having problems with the rotor tips beyond about 40K & need rebuilds.
