Agree with this, though you might find that the DS2500 pads are a little too hard for the discs... at least that is what I discovered with track use.

Then why didn't you bloody ask and save me gettin the red face!?

Grant the guy on this site recommends adding 2.5 ml per litre of petrol OR 1.5 ml per litre of diesel. Also, that site has 8 or more pages worth of posts on it, might be some light reading for when you are bored! Let us know if you try it and how you get on. When testing it, make sure you do identical runs

Thank you

That's what I tried to say but used too many words! What is the matter with me!?

Oh right! And what does that mean? What is the deck? What does closed mean? Etc etc...

Forgive my ignorance... what is a closed deck block?

Staggering!

Easy answer: fit them all To give the answer that you really want ("detail what each items purpose is, and going from least to all being done what is the suggested fitment order") would probably require a good sized essay. Along with that, is the different writers' opinions and tastes, along with all the different models of cars and equipment brands/settings too, so a definitive answer is probably not possible. Here is what I did for what its worth: 1. Droplinks front and rear fitted (cheapest mod), no noticable difference to handling but didn't have them on long enough before other handling mods were added. 2. Lowering springs (Tein). Huge difference in handling and look of the car. Also, the ride of the car was compromised, but much less body roll in corners - loved it! 2a Prodrive geometry settings at the same time as lowering springs and added to the better cornering performance noted in point 2. 3. Anti-Lift kit. Again, transfomed the handling, much better front end grip and faster turn in. Also balanced out the car in fast corners - no understeer - but still lost the backend once! 4. Removed Tein springs and fitted Tein Superstreet coilovers and downgraded to "fast road" geometry settings. Can't say there has been much of a difference between this and points 2 and 2a. I went for the fast-road set up as the Prodrive settings ran down the inner tread way too quickly for my liking. If the car loses grip and slides, then it does so with all four wheels in equal measure - lots of fun! 5. Rear ARB - wating on the call from Hypertech. I was advised by Duncan NOT to fit the front ARB until I try out the rear and see how it feels. He said that installing front and rear is to bring the car too near to a track car and would compromise everyday driving. If the front end is too stiff, i.e. less body roll, the car will "skip" across our bumpy roads while cornering at speed. A slightly softer front end will allow the car to aborb this and give better front grip under the circumstances. This will be a 24mm bar on the middle setting. My findings, noted above, are all based on track-use. I can't say I have the bottle to really push the car to the limit on the open road, because if something goes wrong, then its in a field or in a tree - not good. The track has some nice gravel traps and tyre walls to save me, plus everyone is going in the same direction, so I push with a bit more confidence. Conclusion: As stated in the Introduction ( ) fit the lot! If nothing else, at least you have bragging rights, ... "Oh well my car has ..."

I came across this on the Internet, that an everyday substance (acetone) can greatly improve MPG and performance when used as a fuel additive. I doubt I'd try this in the Scooby, but it might be worth a shot in an old runner to see what actually happens with this. Anyway, here is the video, watch this first. And here is some technical blurb on it. Also did a Google search on it and was surprised at how widespread this method is. I have NOT fully read up on this so I'm NOT encouraging any one to try it, just wondering if any one else has come across it etc.

Which was...?

Don't think that has been posted before. It's funny, while in the clip they are talking about numbers and performance, you start to get a bit drawn in and thinking, "Hmmm I'd quite like one of these". Then, the shot cuts to the older style Hawkeye STi and that second or two viewing arouses the senses more than that all of the content on the new shape. Perhaps when you look at the numbers and performance, it is a better car, but on looks, it is so utterly benign.

Nice shiny lookin car you got there, cooool!

Classics and wagons are not really my thing, but that looks pretty cool. I like it!

The Barhead Bomber, LOL! I like that!

Yeah, I'm with that... the missus is a bit harder to convince though

How can he afford central heating AND all those mods!? Surely he lives in a tent out the back?

LOL! What is it? Its so blurred I can't see it. Just as well you are better at fixing cars than you are at taking pics Jim! Looking good Why just the rear for COs? Or is it just that you haven't fitted the fronts yet?

Good luck with it, be nice to see/hear when its the current stage of devolpment is complete!

Mate, with the overtime and weekends you have been working you could by Ian Grieves!

Happy days! Excellent! Enjoy ma man.

OH Yes! A nice choice of styling mods to get the ball rolling. Add to that some lowering springs too! Lovin' it!

Baby boom indeed! Congrats to all!

What bad things does that do? Burn out the clutch? Are there any benefits other than saving a tenth of a second on each change?

I'm guessing this mean not lifting off the gas during changes but instead, leaving it flat to the floor?
