    Another R888 thread.....sorry

    ^ they're good. Hankook V70a in hard compound? Toyo R1 R. Not quite as soft as an 888, but quieter and have 7/8mm new instead of 5mm, so last maybe twice as long?

    Warped Discs

    You also get deposits when you've overcoooked the pads and they've leeched their resin onto the discs. It'll come off with rebedding.

    why bankers need big bonuses...

    Yep. I couldn't care less who was in power at the minute, I'm more annoyed by the manner in which we're going about putting Labour's f*** ups right. We're all swallowing this line we're having to make up the money that's been used on the banks bail out, like its gone into some black hole...

    why bankers need big bonuses...

    Who said anything about tax cuts? It's done, we need to work with it instead of fighting it. The banks do well, the "investment" of our money does well. We then spend it on something that'll do some good, rather then our track record of selfish greed. I'd rather see the return/tax money...

    why bankers need big bonuses...

    Ahh, the bank attacks! Gotta love them. Lets ignore what the Daily Mail is telling us for 5 minutes and see it from a business perspective. What you've probably not thought about is "your tax money" that was used to bail out the banks after the media caused a run on Northern Rock was very...

    How low

    We tend to prefer it slightly off season, but it'd be a great trip to tag onto Deako! Pete, we've got a track day at Spa booked too, so we're at the Ring the long weekend before. 30 Sept-3rd Oct then Spa on the 4th. I'll mail you the finer points. TTRS lump FTW, balls to trying to F/I...

    Megane gearbox

    The 200's 'box has higher 5th/6th ratios - sure it isn't one of them? Be nice if you can just pick up a Megane's diff'd box and slot it in though, it'll be half the price of the Quaife alone!

    scary moment in the Clio!

    Some of the old roads in France are like that, they're almost polished like glass and when the dust sits on them, it's like a wet/icy road. Huge fun once you know to expect it though!

    Whats on the menu tonight?

    Some days you just don't need the hassle. I'm having a crack at making a chicken chow mien tonight, I doubt a Pot Noodle sarnie is as good as I remember from back in the day... so best left to the memories.

    Rear Camber plates

    Sorry, in terms of these shims for adjusting camber/toe. I thought he'd misunderstood what they were? They're like little cheese wedges, not spacers as such.

    Insurance on track is built into my policy, typically 70ish quid elsewhere though. Got it from Demon Tweeks, I paid 270 with a bit if discount thanks to the forum links. 1:35??? Surely not the full circuit?

    Yeah, adhesive mount on the flat bit under the towing eye. Tethered obviously - they're bloody expensive to lose!
