Cool ... Hopefully she'll be able to take a few stills if I bring my camera ...

I can't push it at all, the second I even try and put my foot down the turbo makes a nasty sound so I pull back... That's what happens when a useless exhaust company (soon to be X-Part exhaust supplier) put a 57mm exhaust on a car that's suppose to have a 65mm!!!

Ok guys, well unless I manage to materialise a new 2.5" decat and mid section out of thin air before Wednesday, I will not be making it... which really really sucks!!

Will make the next one, if there's one that is!!

I'm there Dan!!!!

We were up in the Lakes and driving roung Windamere, funny grunching noise from the brakes, thought grit had got under a pad, as I was supposed to have had new front disks and pads and rear pads fitted a year ago. Anyhow did some hard braking, reversed and braked, noise getting worse, so checked all the disks and the rear o/s was bu**ered.

Went into Kendal and found a National garage and got a price of £160 for rear disks and pads, got him down to £140.

At least I know the brakes are now OK for Brands, the rear o/s was rusted solid and only working on one pad, this had gone down to the metal!!!

I've got a set of front and rear pads in the garage ready to fit, doh!!!!

I'm rather annoyed as I've got a 180 brake setup, and some braided hoses ready to go on for Brands, but because of a stupid useless exhaust company (Klarius Ltd) I won't be able to make it

Hi Will, we will give you a 30 sec start if that helps, though its not a race and you can go round as fast or as slow as you like.

Looking forward to this. I mentioned it to a lad at work who's got old clapped out 924. He said he might come along.

Pete ... At least you'll be able to stop before running into the back of me .. !
