  1. Where did you get the pulleys if you dont mind me asking?
  2. Tarmac are you up for doing the pulleys? If not I might just order some.
  3. Kjr, ams, UR and a few others.
  4. Pulleys! Set of 3 ideally not underdriven but lightweight. I'd be up for that and another member Jim is too.
  5. No need for bad language. Are you stupid or blind? I'm saying cheap drilled discs bad higher end stuff good. Research it put drilled discs into google and look at how many people have had drilled discs cracked. Mine cracked a while back abd they where only dimpled, but the where ktec ones.
  6. they use better quality discs like porcshe ones are cast and are hefty beasts. Most after market (not all) are cheaper and not made aswell. when drilled they lose the little bit of strength that they had. I put Brembo drilled discs on my zed (which Paul T subsequently bought) and had no problems with them. I'd suggest the problem is more with the brand than whether they are drilled or slotted............ Yes see the brembo's are good stuff. Most discs are the cheaper end like ebc and the likes as they look cool they will sell. Ive never seen even crappy non drilled or grooved stuff crack. I had some dimpled brakes on the rear of my 172, the rear does only 5% of the braking and they cracked.

  8. +1. I think t1-r's are ok not my favorite tyre but they aren't budge as ekona said. Nankang or sunny are budget and yes people run them on 350s. As said they are the tyre of choice for alot of rwd cars ones which are faster than the 350. Someones 600bhp track car on here runs them but what does he know? I'm not arguing that ps2's aren't good your view of all other tyres is completely inaccurate. I think this is the problem. Your diatribes come across as "Im right' date=' how dare you question me" rather than helpful advice from someone who is willing to listen to others. T1-R's are not "Rubbish crap", hell, they were pretty much the tyre of choice for the SXOC (RWD, 300hp coupes) for most of the last 6 years - indeed they are whats on the front of my driftcar at the moment as I feel they are decent in the wet and arent bankbreakers. You clearly know what you are talking about and Im sure your advice has proven invaluable to other people on loads of occasions, but there are other people out there who also have valid experience, and they dont deserve to be shouted down just for expressing an opinion.[/quote']
  9. Right so it's ok to give your overly biased opinion but when I give mine but when I give mine I'm wrong? great forum ethics
  10. On a £30K sports car, yes they are. Dan, you could'nt be more blunt Sometimes you must ask yourself why bother And then you remember the porker parked outside and all becomes really clear in your mind Just wait till he has n2's on the front and are new but there is only n3's out
  11. On a £30K sports car, yes they are. prove it then go price some up.
  12. T1-r's aren't budget.
  13. Some people claim that if tbspacer has riffiling on the inside it spins the air making it faster and possibly more turbulent. Not sure if it's true though.
  14. 1300wrms is that loud! TBH if you want it louder your better off specing a sub and box which suits your power and music needs. Something like a 10" higher end sub would be good with about 0.5-1cuft of air space in a box.
  15. Might get this done when I pop down
  16. +1 but it also may be its a space sub in a tiny box.
  17. You want a 350 for 9k and 42k is too much miles makes no difference to these cars imo
  18. 987 with a gt3 engine
  19. I'd guess it was the latter but then again I haven't seen you
  20. if cheap yes love the gear knob its "classy"
  21. streched tyres are for hero's.
  22. You get hub adapters to which convert your stud to whatever you want. Work the same as spacers
  23. The who sells them on here is a really nice knowledgable guy too.
