Not much of a update but more of a warning :(


Image

Image

my temperature guage was playing up on saturday . Pulled over to allow traffic to pass then went up a kerb pretty hard
After looking at the wheel a small bruise appeared on the tyre wall. The inside had split and was told by a tyre fitter it could blowout at anytime with any more knocks.

Tyre is less that 6 months old :cry:
£70 later it was replaced for another pirelli p6000



Image

On a positive side i have obtained a brand new Ford panel from ebay :D


Image

That should do the trick on the rear quarter :aviator:

the headlight protectors dont really protect they are more of a fashion accessory these days on old cars.

I agree new headlights would be cheaper :)

unfortunatly i decline your more than generous offer jay.

the only problem with having a brand new gear knob is you need a brand new steering wheel to match.

Then to add to that ... you would be scared to use them cos of the rarity. i wore out a escort gti gearknob in 18 months use on my daily use of the Rs.

Dave G fsi ::o Those pads were pretty bad!

I cant decide whether to get drilled discs or grooved discs, or either. What kind of difference do you feel and which is better out of the two? :aviator:


I do 5-10 track days in a summer and i use grooved ones and been happy whit them. Drilled discs might cool down bit faster, but they need to be good brand/material. Cheap ones will start to crack even in normal driving and that is not a place to save. Also the grooved ones will "eat" bit faster the brake pads.
