Brick acid I hear works well. I used Cilet bang on my old c2 wheels as they were properly grotty.

Oh dear :/

Jamsport are ford specialists really from what I understand, although I've not heard 'much' bad about them...

At least you're not wearing out your own car. Hire cars are the fastest cars in the world dont you know.

+1 for osram breakers, changed the OEM ones in my 200 to these & they're a fair bit better tbh.

OE parts make sense to an extent. But when talking about shocks it doesn't really, either buy some quality aftermarket coilovers or get some eibachs on the standard shocks. The Sachs dampers are hugely overpriced & not as good as most of sensible the aftermarket items.

My 200 felt & was quicker than my sister other halfs old 172 cup, not sure how healthy it was though lol.

They take off a lot better if you get the revs up, but then you're lunching the clutch. If you don't get them in the sweet spot they actually aren't all that quick. Good under braking though & in to bends.

Good price for that IMO. Worth more in parts.

At the right price that would be a great project for a turbo build or engine swap etc.

Basically what we did when that bird reversed in to my other halfs car.

Awesome!

Very nice

Motul RBF for me. if you are a baller srf but i can't see the value in it unless you're competing.

It was his car insurance bud, the premium went through the roof!

Blimey i'd be getting pulled in the clerks office every meeting now with my agricultural lines haha aka

My dad years ago made the mistake of telling his insurance company he competed within motorsport. Bad move!!!

Miss daisy driving ;)

You're a more patient man than me lol

Blimey, I was under the impression the new cars where more generic & were going to be built less by hand.

Is on road, not for track stuff it's not. Depends in what forum.

Depends on use really. Fully synth fluid needs changing a lot more often from experience. I would tend to change the fluid every few meetings on average if we are talking racing or heavy track work, depending again on the car & the meeting, but bleed them every meeting if it was me. Obviously...

Yep, billys love to hold that brake!

Never boiled it on the road.

I'd tend to agree with your comments within the parameters mentioned. Although the current M3 does cook brakes on track, but then where we talking about track or M3's? On the road, you need to be hammering the brakes an awful lot to boil fluid & another thing to mention is that comp fluid needs...

My 200 had better feel & durability with comp fluid in it. I used to have super Blue in it but it made the clutch cylinder squeek. Changed to Motul & it solved the issue instantly. Different fluids have different boiling temps, naturally the higher the boiling point the more stick it can take...

I think many just compare the mpg to the 1*2's which in fairness it is worse than. But it's never bothered me.

They are known not to be great on fuel, but tbh they aren't as bad as people make them sound. If I do a month of journeys to work in my clio compared to my birds 1.2 polo, I'd still do the same amount of tanks, just the needle is a bit further down. Doesn't make enough difference for me to cry...

If I reset my trip I can get 38 out on a sensile motorway run. But I don't take much notice of the MPG in all honesty, don't think it's all that accurate.
