    Want a new road bike ....

    Pushed the boat out a bit :lol: That S-Works is a serious piece of kit! For £1k I would be looking at an aluminium frame, carbon forks and a 105/Veloce groupset like what was recommended above. I got into road cycling last year and bought a Bianchi Via Nirone Veloce for circa £800 from Evans...

    Calling you cyclists out there

    It was great. If there was any decent off road trails near me, I could be tempted on to knobbly tyres. First run, I jumped off the ski lift with the instructor and he points out a bear about 30m away. I made the decision to start riding immediately. Turns out it was on 'only' a black bear and...

    Porsche Boxster S

    I've been looking at these. Did you check ignition and rev ranges? I was about to buy one two weeks ago until I asked for an inspection and it had hit a range 6 ie >9500rpm a couple of hundred hours ago.

    clio vs supercars

    Depends on vehicle weight/tyre compound/setup. On OEM tyres... A 1350kg GT3RS with 265F & 315R section Pilot Sport Cups will out grip a 1200kg Clio on 215F & 215R Continentals all day long.

    Average Servicing cost?

    This. I'm sticking to Renault's every two years or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.

    replacing brembo pins

    I changed my pads today. My car has done 9000 miles in 17 months and 3 out of the 4 pins came out with no issue. The 4th a little more stubborn but came out eventually.

    No more power for the Mk4 RS

    I would be happy with the same power if they are adding lightness as I see this being more beneficial.

    supercharged ep3 type r.

    They're fast. I used to own an EP3 about 5 years ago. When I swapped to a Focus ST2, running circa 295bhp, the supercharged EP3 still accelerated faster due to it being lighter. JRSC or Rotrex? The K20a can easily handle 300bhp. You'll need a new diff to put the power down effectively. Most go...
