Urgent message for those attending posted in events thread... thanks Paul

Jeeeeez Craig...your a lucky camper walking away from that unscathed mate.....hope your feeling okay bud....pop by if you fancy a chat......hope you get sorted out soon....... take care eh... Paul

that explains it... was driving through Dublin last week on business and could have sworn I saw a camera in the back of a scabby old van....looks like I might have been right.....

and you will be most welcome.....get your brass neck over to me and say hi.... and stick your name down on the list..... see you tom evening....

someone called.......??? Paul

Only getting the news now...congratulations to you both Peter......hope all is well.. Paul

Got the fast road settings on my track car...and the handling is just stunning....... on a side note...your thread title is quite misleading...I understand you aren't looking for comments on Hypertech as a whole but on the fast road setup that they offer......might be better to add that.... Paul

seen this in the flesh...its in stunning condition....a fantatic job by you both....I know you had a right laugh doing it...cant wait to see you both on track... have fun and enjoy my friends.....

Gus...might take you up on that offer...... Welsho mate......glad I'm somebodys hero....might wear my pants on the outside tomorrow..... the discs were a bargain..well a bargain compared to the price I seen for some set ups.......after speaking to Jason at Scoobybits I opted for their own ones.......along with EBC Redstuff pads...again he recommended these as a good match to the discs...... as for the price.....set of discs.....£90....pads...£92....+Vat on both...so £228 all in....not bad eh....?? Paul

I hope so Gus......the RA could do with an oil change..so that will be the next task..... Paul

thanks for the comments.... kai888 - seriously though as Gus or anyone else will vouch I am a complete mechanical novice...I just took advice from folk on here...took my time.....double checked everything and it all worked out okay....suppose there wasnt as much pressure on me as it isnt on my everyday road car....so could afford for it to go wrong and just stick it back in the garage.... but all in all very satisfying to be able to do pads and discs......done the plugs also, just need to do an oil change now and I can give both Jo's wagon and my track car a basic service..... Paul

yee haaaa got them on...... wasnt as bad a job as I thought.....thanks to Tam for providing the muscle on one side as I couldnt get the caliper of....but everything else went really smoothly....so pleased with myself...another mechanical task complete......some pics below of the new discs.....think they look good.........???? thanks for all the advice from everyone....

will do mate.... thanks

yur a laugh mate...I've no idea what I'm doing why would I want to take photos of it....to show the rest of you how not to do it.....remember this is for my track car...it doesnt get used on the road on a daily basis...so If I get uncomfortable with anything...its wheels on and back into the garage...anyway I've got my mobile mechanic / advice line at the end of the phone in Hypertech....mon Duncan..... Paul

TOP MAN....thanks very much mate.... Paul

Can I clean the face of the disc with brake cleaner...?????

thanks for the advice..appreciate it..... you make it sound so easy....look out for me on Casulaty tomorrow evening...or if its really bad...I'll be on The Bill....... thanks again mate Paul

thanks for the advice mate....its an Type RA so no ABS to worry about... I didnt know about clamping the line before the caliper...is this just to let me retract the pistons.... can you clamp stainless lines???? thanks Paul

Alright buddies..... About to embark over the weekend on my second mechanical task after succesfully completing a spark plug change a few months back..... considering I completely fried my front discs at Knockhill during the recent SIDC track day....(lots of fun doing so I add...no regrets from me)....I purchased a new set and pads from Scoobybits.... So is this another job a numpty like me can handle....any special tools needed apart from socket set, mallet, and some copper grease.....oh and that special thing I dont have...patience..... any advice....I take it the caliper comes of easy enough....disc of...new ones on...pads in..job done..sounds easy....IS IT???? Paul

not long now Frank...eh... you see the weeks have flown by since you told me about it... looks crackin mate..... Paul

congratulations Craig....thats it mate your stuffed now just like me bud...2 women in the house.....no hope for you.......glad to hear all is well mate.. Paul

some other great ones of my day on your site Neil....thanks for those...... good memories of my first track day... cheers Paul

cheers Neil......thought everyone had forgot about me....photos are great..as usual......... thanks mate Paul

I really enjoyed my first track day....ended up having a right laugh.... hope I didnt scare my pax passengers to much......just a pity I ended up gubbing my brake discs....made for a very uncomfortable and slow drive home....JUDDDDDEERRRRRRRRRRR.............. other than that the car was superb.......cant wait to the next one now....

Scott.....you will be missed my friend....the enthusiasm from both yourself and Rosie will be sorely missed in the club.....Like everyone else I hope you wont be a stranger.....I'm sure there are plenty of other folk with prodrive lights who could do with your help..... take care my friend...you too Rosie....will miss your handwarmers at Knockhill if you dont go...... Douglas Adams books are fab eh.... see you soon mate...
