I'd do engine service (oil and filter), check the coolant levels, refresh the brake fluid - something like motul rbf600 or 660 would be great. Pads I'd go for something like ferodo ds2500 or mintex 1144 or 1155 - you don't need anything really fancy on your first few trackdays. I would replace...

Hahaha I dunno about that, mines definitely not set up optimally 🤭 I'm not sure I'd be 'representing'

Yeah I do slightly struggle with these reviews - either do all of them bog standard or properly modified. Mishmash of both is hardly a worthwhile comparison! The results were inevitable - the e46 with a square setup and big ol front wheels had better turn-in and the e92 with the evolve catalogue...

Lovely write up and cracking photos (although I'd expect nothing less certainly on the latter!) On the subject of child seats, I found a properly certified one that fits in my carbon buckets and uses the standard 3point seat belt to secure it in place. I appreciate to some if it's not isofix...

Thought this would be a link to an episode of rogue traders 🤭

I'm aiming to have it fitted toward the back-end of August - will keep you posted :)

Welcome! There is a small but seemingly growing number of us on here that enjoy the odd trackday :) Sounds like a rotten bit of luck getting punted into a wall on a trackday :( Which track were you at? Throw some photos and a spec of the car up! What are the plans for the build? I used to...

I'd not be in the least bit picky about rotors, I'd get some good pads and fresh fluid and sendddd itttttt 😎

Sorry forgot to put pics up - here you go!

yeah as above, get a tyre pressure gauge - I'd have the tyres something around 28psi to start with, do your sighting laps (1-2 laps half pace), come in, check the pressures and adjust to 32psi, then do a faster stint of 3-4 laps, then come in repeat. You'll find they'll stabilise fairly quickly...

I'd echo above; don't bother with stickier rubber to start with - a good road tyre like the PS4 in my experience has a nice progressive limit, so you should be able to get a feel for the balance etc at more manageable speeds! My advice would just be to keep a close eye on tyre pressures (keep...

I didn't, it's on my list to sort out the paint on mine but I suspect it's going to be a more involved job than previously envisaged - I'll probably head down to them so they can price it up.... Let me know if you end up using them!

Update on this for those who care - I bought the Burkhart kit - just collected it from my work Paris office, so hoping to get it fitted in August with a bit of luck. I'll take some pics later It looks like a nice htnof kit! It came really nicely packaged too, I had to remove the packaging to...

Yep I'd say starter motor or solenoid for sure. Easy enough to replace if you're not afraid of spannering

I need to slim down my collection a little - I've got a Seiko Prospex diver 1968 Reinterperetation that I've barely worn in 4 years since I bought it new. I'll happily start a for sale thread if needs be but thought it'd be worth posting in here, hopefully I'll not upset anyone...! Immaculate...
