Never.
Not now (after 4.5 years and 103k miles) or when it was new could I replace mine with something for the same price that would do for me what my Cup does. There's simply nothing else out there for the same purchase price, that delivers the same pace, for the same running costs, giving...
He he - she was slightly mad.
Just watched this Bedford clip again - I didn't stop talking! To be fair Emily was only 4 weeks old and still in intensive care so caffeine was my life-blood and the only reason I was upright.

I blame the Red Bull.
Format the table in Excel then copy/paste it onto a blank Powerpoint page...drag/resize it so that it fills the page. Then save that page as a jpeg file.
That's what I did when we went to Haynes...from what you're saying should work for you?
But it will reduce it by 1 degree probably 99.999% of the time.
The offer is nothing more than clever marketing...I bet there's maybe 5 people in the entire country who've been able to have it done for nothing.
LOL at the Kwik Fit claims - they promise to lower it by 10%.
Let's say you start with the air on cold and it's pumping out at 10 degrees...after the re-gas they guarantee to get it down to 9 degrees? Big f***in' deal, 1 degree reduction! Like you're really going to notice that.
Avon rise into Quarry is uphill and very very quick, with braking zone over one crest, and the blind approach to Quarry also over a crest. Apart from that it's preety flat.
They did this on Vroom Vroom - with their Astra estate...each week it was run up the strip after a cheap 'mod' i.e. stripping it out one week, big cone filter the next, and upping tyre pressures.
When they pumped the tyres up to something like 40psi I think they took 0.1s or 0.2s off the 1/4 time.
I can't comment on max discs as I've never run them (standard HC for me), but I've run both PF97s and Blues.
The Blues lasted 30k miles including track action and the dust wasn't too bad.
The PF97s lasted 15k with less track activity and from the bump-strips down, my car is still caked in...
