  1. Oh yeah i also fitted new front pads: My old Ferodo DS2500's after 1,5 years and 2 hard track days: I was looking for long lasting daily driveable track pads but i guess those don't exist? So decided to try Yellowstuff, against some warnings, since i got them for a decent price. And sure enough they barely lasted one track day! Seriously they're down to a few millimetres at the moment. So for next time i'm thinking about buying proper race pads and fitting them at the track and replacing them at the end of the day back to stock. Extra hassle for sure, but might be worth it! When i go to the track i like to spend the whole day there anyway, and i've become pretty quick at changing pads. Not to mention the decrease in lap times proper race pads would make... i see myself being slowly dragged towards a season of Timeattack in 2017 .

  4. Like there was no winter at all! That Gtechniq stuff is definitely worth it's reputation. True that. Now after 2 weeks they still feel like one of the best mods i've ever done, looks- and feelingwise. Just glancing at the passenger side while driving puts a smile on my face :).

  7. Update, the last week has been expensive and some hard craft, start with i went up on the train to coventry at 6am on last monday to MGT motorsport(so many nice things!). After chatting alot with the tuner i learned alot about what happens in the engine bay, what i didnt realisie is the FconS ecu was a piggyback basically lying to the maf voltage to make it put more fuel in. He said it was passworded by the last tuner so would have to be wiped clean and start again, after an hour i dicided to go for a slightly reduced G4 Link ecu for £1400 & temp air sensor which is a complete replacment ecu for the car which has much more control over what happens and each way thru the curve from idle to the limiter can be tweaked, its nuts what it can do. Anyway plugged it in and it would only fire 3 cyclinders, after a few hours we worked out the 3 sets of pins on the link board hadn't been soldered!! so that was all sorted and mapping becan on a 4 hub dyno the final results were 377hp at all 4 wheels, 327lbs at all 4 wheels, about 460hp at the flywheel on 1.3bar. I had boost creep from 1.1 to 1.3bar. I also bought a wideband o2 sensor kit to install later to help with feuling. Happy with the results but me and the tuner know it can do more but the manifold & wastegate setup ive choose not knowing is not gd enough and the piston rings cant really take anymore safely as well. As he was bringing the out the dyno the next day, it had blown the turbo to mani gasket, so drove like that home and the tunnel was very hot too. I found out the 4wd attesa ecu in the boot wasnt working now, so first i took the turbo replaced the gasket, put it back together, another leak! took the wastegate off no issues so i knew it had to be the manifold being the issue, it all came off and lucky there was noo cracks but the flange had warped the centre now higher, so using the belt sander at work moving it back and forth for an hour i got it flat phew! Put it all back together this morning and boom fixed! Took ages to located the right pins to loop a wire to give the 4wd ecu a TPS signal but ive done that too. That scream pipe is metal!! Sry abou the essay lol Inside the shop: Marks 1400bhp+ drag car

  9. Looking superb mate. Really love this deck! Mine got the left rear abs sensor changed for the mot aswell, but other than a sticking front caliper which they sorted, she sailed through. How did those winter rims stand up to the salt?

  10. If it's not serious and the box works. Can you live with it?? Only saying that because now a Bit more clued up nowadays.. When I first bought an mb6 it had a slight noise in neutral. I sold that box as spares or repairs and replaced it.. I am now about 7 gearboxes later. And they all have a slight noise in neutral. I have also repaired a box with d**ky synchros. And suspected main shaft bearing for a whine. Whine was still there afterwards. I believe now I should have just lived with it on the original box. It's probably still going strong.
