Mine's not too bad, cleaned it at the weekend and haven't driven much since. Before that though, it was filthy! When I lived with the parents it was always spotless, I had my own garage to lock her up in and keep all my cleaning stuff in. How I live in a flat it means it's a pain in the arse...

It does indeed shut down after a set amount of time, somewhere between 15-30 mins I think

No point changing the discs unless they need it. I'd just get the pads done and see what BTM say about the discs. If they do need changing then just get them done a bit later, no harm bedding the pads into old discs and then changing discs a few weeks late.

I don't think so. I may be wrong but I can't visualise the point in doing that. You have to imagine the wheel sitting at an angle relative vertical or horizontal and you have 2 sides to a triangle and 1 angle. The further along that vertical or horizontal line you move the longer the other...

I would try swapping wheels front to back. Even though you had them balanced, they might not have done the job properly.... this has happened to me many times before. If the problem is the rear wheels, swapping them to the front should result in steering wheel vibration.

To further update my situation, I hate superblue for ~1 year and developed the squeak. Since moving to RBF600 the squeak has gone and not come back so it seems the problem is reversible

Did you get both front and rear wheels balanced? If you have vibration but not through the steering wheel then it could be the rear tyres.

You have to be careful if you're converting to mm as it will depend how far away from the hub you're taking the measurement. When looking at angle it doesn't matter how far away you are.

Had mine replaced a few months ago, instantly transformed the steering response and for those who haven't had theirs replaced it's well worth checking

The RC6 do generate a LOT of heat but that's because they work so incredibly well, it's not directly related to the pads. Any pad that's working that well will generate that heat and actually with the RC6 being a metallic sintered pad they should dissipate the heat pretty well. I'm running RC6...

Worth looking at K-TEC, they offer grooved versions of the standard discs, would be a good quality disc

Not many people on here have tried the ASTs, there was one guy who I think actually helped develop the kit but he's since sold the car and moved on. Not sure if he sold them to anyone on here but from what I remember he was pretty happy with them. The Brembos are great in my experience, I've...

Actually, I'll go back on what I said earlier. Since my remap I haven't had kangarooing as such but like others have said it still feels very hesitant. Much more than any other car I've ever driven

Depends how much you want to spend. There are a few options for the front which are 2-piece with alloy hub and steel rotors. Expect to pay £500+ though for a front pair.

Won't really make any difference. Just make sure you do it before you drive off.

07 reg 197 on about 58k, only maintenance needed in that time was a new track rod :)

I had mine remapped at TDF, the cold start is much better now. Not perfect but I don't think any mapper manages to completely solve the kangarooing. I tried the TC trick a few times and didn't think it really made much difference

They go low enough, if you go lower than the KWs will take you then you're sacrificing the handling of one of the best handling cars out there.

That looks great, and unique too..... nice one!

Big dip in power and torque at ~4200rpm, surely must be noticeable?
