Can anyone remember a build thread of a brg sports pack, with mk1 features & itj straps and front lights, running a personal 'g' 69 plate? Been trying to find it for ages!

    I've got black stuffs in mine and have noticed that with some spirited driving they do go a bit soft, I just take at as the cars telling me not to push my luck, :D. We've got red stuffs in the TVR and they're brilliant.

    Went from Mintexs which were great just lots of dust! Went over the twistys, 20 mins of fast driving, then came to the village, and the pedal was nearly at the floor, with the rears doing the work! Stank like mad, so waited 15 mins for them to cool down and back to normal again. Maybe to time t try the fast road mintex pads and clean the wheels daily aha

Managed to drop my spanner (whilst holding it) onto the live nut on the starter motor. Que sparks, and now my anxiety / paranoia is kicking in about the shock! Argh :(

    I did something similar being careless tightening the nut on the battery of my E30, touched both terminals - made me jump a bit (and swear a lot!!)

    I don't know your circumstances, but it has been said that time heals all wounds. The truth is that time does not heal anything. It merely passes. it is what we do during the passing of time that helps or hinders the healing process. I've actually found that helpful in the past ..

    Thinking mambas or comics! Just want enough poke under the arches
    Love my 12" d1s but need more grip!
    Love splits but after a set of alleycats too so my budget doesn't really stretch aha

    Yeah had my carbon bonnet on! A fist sized dent on the wing, broken arch and gashed tyre, had to swap to the spare about 5 mins before the start of the run.
