Yeah it starts to get funny when stromba replies to anything ;) but then these journos are wrong arent they.... Williams being their 5th best drivers car..... Think a magazine should recruit someone off here for their unbiased well educated views.... A clarkson in the making :D

Obviously brand/compound specific. Tarox stuff is recommended by many places for good stopping even when cold. There may be better pads but these may have trade offs like need warming up or squeal. Down to use I guess. Dont go on the track so dont need pads for that use.

Screeching isnt good but must be a sign of not wearing in yet. Persevere.

Drift to one side you will probably find is related to rear toe in which cannot be adjusted. When mine was laser aligned it was found rear right had more toe in than rear left, hence a pull to the left.

Gutted mate. Had 2 emergency stops recently from 40 mph with idiots cutting me up on roundabouts.

My G88s and pads screeched to hell for the first while. Think it may be teh surface treatment tehy give them. Stop very well now but took a while to stop screeching and get to the performance they should be. Just think you will have to go easy for loads of miles whilst you bed them in.

Easier to see than a thread if not been on here for a few days/hours depending on how busy the site gets.

Why not PM

1.8 with Magnex inc Decat, BMC CDA and BB chip. RRd at 148 bhp but since fitted a Supersprint ss manifold. Cams, head and 2 litre BE to follow, hoping over 180 with those :D

Use National Tyres, 15 quid for Duckhams QXR and filter using voucher out of tabloid papers. Wait whilst its done. Cheaper to get that done than top up your engine oil over 6k.

Thing is I wait whilst mine is done and usually drive on and off the ramp myself so nothing at all top worry about.

Yeah had mine done there last year. They found the water pump needed doing too and thats what took them so long. Didnt help me not having thelocking wheelnut key athey wanted to take the wheel off and arch inner liner for better access. Would recommend their servicing of valvers. Had their...

Think in 185/55/15 you can only get eagleF1 in GSD2 not GSD3 tread pattern.

Thats why I just pay £15 and get National Tyres to do it. Saves my hands and cant do it that cheap myslef for QXR and filter.

I put the whole lot in. Not had any problems for over a year with it.

4got to say, if unsure when last oil change was done get the voucher for national tyres out of tabloid papers. £15 will get you oil and filter change using Duckhams semi synthetic QXR oil. As that price not worth doing yourslelf, even cheaper to just get a new change done rather than keep...

Nice. Dont forget to wait for the oil temp to rise before booting it. Should warm up within a few mins of driving.

Check the buying guide on here and previous posts, all things listed.

Another thing mate, 17k miles in five years seems bloody low. Check its not been clocked. Old MOT certificates should prove.

I paid 5k for mine same spec apart from 47k. This was 3 years ago. Car came with magnex and K&N. Ditched K&N though. Im on 84k now but loads of work done on car and leather added. Would still think mine would only be worth 3-3.5k. Would guess this would be the same as more standard but...

hange it. Just search on here for cambelt snapped in title and you will see a few Willy owners have suffered through thinking they could wait till 72k. Quite a few Willy owners dont use their car everyday so milage is low but still snapped theirs, time is the factor. If in doubt get it...

I;m running my GSD3s on the front, have S02s on the rear. Feel is improved and I think I know where the limits f the tyre are better than when i had Bridgestone S03s on. Had to do two emergency stops last week where people have cut me up on roundabouts, one from 40 mph and the tyres stop well.

Just search google with Devil Clio and you should find somewhere to help you out. There is something on ebay but in french. Translates as Devil collector for 16v/Willy. May be worth emailing the person selling as could be full zort or a manifold. Asking 200 odd quid I think new...

Phone them in Coventry. Chap on here(livio) just got his fitted. Check recent posts in last day or two.

Redline stuff supposed to be good. Put mine in at 70k and is an improvement. MX5 users recommend it as a cure for dodgy first to second gear changes.

Its just the things like clutch, waterpump, cambelt that are expensive due to teh cramped confines of the 16v engine bay. Make sure these type of things have been done. Or get them done at same time as labour wont be too much more to do all three than just one. My car has never broken down...

Drilling would depend on the quality of cable used. I used hifi stuff, van den hul and qed so holes had to be made for wiring to exit. With hifi, how can a HU give proper amplification for speakers. If you see the size of a proper amp rated at say 60w per channel, none of the PMPO stuff...

And lightened flywheel is one of the main improvesments of the new CTR.

Defiantely go for a remap or programmable chip that is tuned to the car it is being fitted rather than an off teh shelf jobbie. Wish I had for my valver as not much more money and better results.
