185s! I've got 205s being fitted this week, I'm dreading that. It's only heavy at walking pace...once rolling it's OK.

This was after about 5 miles of roundabouts and dual carriageways, so I think he 'allowed' me to get past quickly. Earlier on...on some footage I can't upload, he was much harder work. Ali? Wuss.

LOL at petty. If you left your car door open and the keys in the ignistion, you'd have no problem with me taking it for a spin then? How about I put it round a track while I'm at it? Or would you call me a c**t for taking something that I have no right to, and that someone else has paid for?

Good job Ady, you'll need all of that for just one of my doors.

Not quite yet...somewhere around 193 at the moment.

Well, killed is a strong word, so maybe annihilated would be better :rasp: Love the manual rack, covered almost 300 miles on it and it's much more manageable now I've gotten used to it. New brakes make a f***ing racket, clanking and rattling in the calipers, and squealing like nothing I've...

PF97s then as wear and dust won't be an issue for you.

I personally think the PF97s are better. Not because they stop you better than the Blues (they don't), or because they're cheaper (7k miles vs 30k miles!)...but because of how they feel. Pagid Blues I found just did their thing, day in day out. You press, you stop. You press harder, you stop...

Interesting... My full interior inclusing door cards and carpets was 65 kgs. The door cards came in at 9 kgs and the carpet was 12 kgs...leaving 44 kgs for the balance compared to your loss of 30kgs :S

They work fine from cold...don't have quite the initial bite that standard pads do, but press the pedal and you stop. Dust wise, they are nowhere near as bad as the PF97s...mostly because they don't wear anywhere near as quick. I got 30k from a set of Pagid Blues, and 7k from PF97s.

They're worth every penny.

That interior is hideousness personified. WTF was he thinking?

Nice Chris.

He had it then. Nice one Mike.

:approve: Should be the first brake mod you do.

From a dCi I think. Wouldn't say it's a good idea for a daily driver so far, but I am a PAS pansy.

F***ing brilliant! I was hoping some kind of an improvement, but the feel I'm now getting through the wheel is sublime. As the tyres just push past their limit and into understeer, it feels like I've got a chunk of tyre rubber in each hand and I can feel it slipping and tearing across the...

Amateur. Is this any use to you?

That's a great one.

This was probably at about 15mph, in 1st, and I might have had my pathetic handbrake on.

What's best for my continually abused but so far reliable 99k mile Cup?

Just looked at the aerial on multi-map, route looks stunning past the lake.

LOL...you're hoping it gets stolen then?

Very cool, very old wheel :approve:

Yep. Which is all any of us have to go on when talking about car performance after all.

I can't stop mine doing it since I've started left foot braking. Weight over the front, turn in, bingo. I can really honestly say I've never ever felt it though. I can't understand what everyone says they can feel?

Sadly very little. As before passenger seat and airbag next...but apart from that there's not a great deal that the car doesn't need. Smaller battery maybe, lighter suspension possibly, but after that I'll be adding weight again with a cage :(

LOL at thinking that MUST be a photoshop...it's only up about 4-5 inches.

Your having to pay for this work and the warranty cover's not the main issue here KDF, they are plainly in breach of their contract with you. If they were not in breach of contract then you wouldn't be having these conversations with them as there would be no fault that needed fixing!!! You...

The pump still needs turning so it will drain some...just not as much as when it's under full load.
