Pads are more consumable than discs and 10K is about right for normal pads with decent use. And John isn't known for being the most timid of drivers [] Count yourself lucky you got free discs basically. I managed to make mine last over 30K with 1 set of normal pads then 2 sets of red stuffs, but I guess I'm more gentle on the brakes.

Welcome to the forums. Good luck with the car search.

The 05 onwards blobeye has inverted STI style struts, the 03-04 didn't, whether the STI ones would fit or not is a different question. Give one of the garages like AWD, Hypertech, Greers etc. a phone as they might know the answer.

And remember and keep your wits about you when driving it after you get it back []

Wow, I'm very jealous.

John, how many laps were you doing at a time on the track?

These are very very fine hats indeed. They fit round my big baw heid, so will no doubt accomodate yours too.

Ahhh. I wasn't drinking last night either. I'm still a sucker for expensive jap wheels.

Are those actually Rotas the guy is selling, I couldn't see it in the ad? I'd never buy anything on ebay just because they looked like them, because they also look like the OZ WRC 10 or whatever they are called. The ones Jimser has. Can never be too careful with wheels.

That supra video reminded me of this fellow.

Very nice Pete. Hope you get the wee problem fixed with the paint and the windscreen.

I believe that is being looked at.

What was the next car that Clarkson was going to talk about?

Just the standard "admin" fee for changing a policy whilst it's running. They make their money all ways.

I couldn't get one of my bolts out so ended up attacking the fronts with garden shears. Worked a treat though.

"Check engine light" Means the ECU detected something a bit iffy and flashed a warning. Get it to somewhere with a select monitor (dealer, specialist) and see if they'll give it a check.

Neil, going to 18" wheels means you take lower profile rubber so in theory the circumference should remain pretty much the same if you get the correct sizes. When I got my teins springs on I found my front mudflaps were scraping due to them being set to the lowest setting. These were scott lowe ones and the teins really do drop it a wee bit more than the prodrive ones.

Pete, someone else in here had Auto Windscreens do paint damage on their car. Get back in about them and get them told.

I'd at least log it with the police too. Will keep an eye on the for sale section in case anything like that pops up.

It's quite incredible how quickly the inter warmer heats up the intake temps. I have my R-VIT set to display that usually and it doesn't take long sat at a set of traffic lights before the temp can double itself.

I got mine from Scott Lowe. He does a SIDC Discount - http://www.scottlowe.co.uk Very good they are too.
