I am, Dave isn't. Gonna be staying in Chevington so make the convoy easy for me to join onto. Will probably have a Quashqai and a Tiger Super Six following me!

How many times did you go around? We flushed nearly 700ml through last weekend. Took 3 times around to get all the air out!
 
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

So with the ring trip approaching I decide to make the purchase of a dash camera, cheap and cheerful from japan.

This is the one i got; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271180873189?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I was skeptical to if it would turn up in time, if it would work and if it would be any good. Read alot of reviews stating for the money you cant go better. Dont get me wrong its no go pro.

Anyway here it is,

It actually seems to be a semi decent build quality considering the price. It also came with a power cable about 3 meter's long so using a suction mount it was fitting to the car, all wires tucked nicely out of the way :)

So i took it for a test run to see if it worked. And it did! Normally driving through parts of the beautiful town of stowmarket ;) only put my foot down at 4minutes roughly for a few seconds. no comments on my driving also ;)

I like the "Monaco blue" garage door Dan ;)

I was just going to ask you what spacers you're running, but you've answered that in the previous page :)

I'm sure they where cheaper when I first found it! like £65, the internals are actually made by the same people who make these tiny cheap 720p camera.

I have no idea who the company is, some chinese one, and they only sell via ebay over various accounts.

Cheap enough for what I want ha

That camera does the job nicely! Money well spent I'd say :)
Looks good mate

Cheers :)

still tempted to buy some of those just to tape straight to the car ha
 
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

Just found out about these 1080p ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_t...R0.TRC0&_nkw=808+#26+1080p&_sacat=0&_from=R40 they have only just started shipping, so the guy on youtube I have been watching hasn't reviewed it yet. Plus they are like 3 times the price of the 720p ones.

Stuff spending £60 on something im going to tape to my car lol, though they look pretty decent!

Heading to fast test this week to bleed the brakes with Adam, spoke to him in the pub saturday night and hes doing it for free so will be easier on his ramps :)

Also do you want my old splitter before i bin it? as the skoda one finally turned up!

Oh and i asked him about your brakes but I cant remember what he said, but ill bring it up on my car and see what he says ha

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

These new ones are made of metal, old ones where plastic, I will end up getting one for my car at some point.

Cool, you will have to let me know if you get any air out of them, ha ha cheers but think I would prefer to have levetts epic splitter!

I haven't bothered to look at them since, unless you can get a valid excuse out of him I wont be using him again.

You can have that too! though it has made two small cracks in my bumper either side where it pulled from all the down force ;)
I will let you know! and hes always been alright tbh, but i will ask him again now im in a fit state too.

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

tbh I think johnny levett should put it on his vw ha ha.

Yeah but he knows you work just round the corner and all that so think he thought I was just some regular punter and could make a few quid out of me. Which he did.
 
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

That would be epic!

Sadly i think i have to agree with you, shame he wasnt there when we booked it in as the out come may of been different.

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

Its not like I would expect a discount or anything just cause your friends with him as I understand he needs to make a living but I don't expect to get charged for something that was unnecessary!

anyway rant over/filling you thread with s**t ha ha.
 
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

Skoda splitter on.

White line on. Forgot how good these make the car feel, really tightened up the rear end, took it for a drive and where the back end normally glides around corners it just stuck in and let me take the corners with a lot more speed :race:

Also took the car to have the brakes bled properly, the garage had some machine that does it but no air bubbles came out! So mine and hiben1's method that cost under £1 works well :D We also checked over the car and spanner checked all the suspension/brakes/anything ive touched recently to ensure its all good before the ring. He also gave me every spare bulb for the car to take with me and some fuses, for free!

Another recommendation for Fast Test Stowmarket for anyone in the local area wanting work done, Adam is a top bloke as per usual!

And a small video of the car making farty noises.

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

Cheers both!

Just order a set of federal 595 RS-R's as a last minute thing before the ring, with the amount of miles I do i can warrant having them as a daily tyre IMO. Only done 1,500 miles in 6months in this car lol
 
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco

I was really pleased with the last set i had also! The fact ive paid less for them 18months later than when i last bought them also makes me very happy :)
