  1. Yep brembo's I went out this eve and can't get the abs to kick in under hard braking, I'm thinking it's got to be contaminated pads as the calipers aren't even getting warm with really hard use...
  2. Hi Yeah should have said running stock discs and pads, I think it's all the original equipment on the car as theres nothing in the receipts etc to say they've been changed. All the disc surfaces look fine, no scoring or discolouration inside or out, the pads look ok but I haven't had a chance to remove them from the calliper and inspect the faces but look like they have meat on them. I'll whip the pads out and have look, not sure how I'd check the servo tho?
  3. Hi all Searched through the first ten pages of the brakes section without joy. I've noticed that over the past few days my brakes are loosing power, the pedal is still hard but braking force is getting weaker and weaker. I've cleaned the discs with brembo brake cleaner and it's made no difference, checked fluid levels and the pads look ok to me does anyone have an ideas as to the cause of this? Most of the issues with power loss on here seem to go hand in hand with spongy pedals but mine isn't, any help gratefully received!
  4. You can say that again! Either that's a poor photoshop or the zonda owner must be taking weight saving to the max and not running brakes
  5. Just Wanted to say a big thanks to the guys at Horsham for sorting me out with a shiney new scorpion exhaust, really friendly and the coffee was much appreciated, will definately be coming back for some berks or similar as the z is so much quieter now
  6. I just sicked in my mouth it's not April fools yet surely?
  7. A rear wing makes a huge difference but only when your doing speeds of 100+ so forget it for the drag strip or road. Also if you are looking for something that creates downforce then you may well need to get the area it's attached to plated. I've had cars in the past with gt wings that bent the boot lid even with 3mm steel plate under it!
  8. After such a good start to the series tonight's episode was such a disappointment!
  9. If its a stop gap car and you want something You can fill with people /furniture etc, then drive at Mach 3 then maybe a Subaru leggy if you don't mind another subaru, cheap as chips to modify and so much fun! Theyre much more sleeper than the run of the mill scoobs and dont look chavvy either. Classy looks and plenty of poke with a little tweak would give you a properly nice velocipede with cash to spare
  10. Happy to check tomorrow for you, can check my receipt
  11. Erm when I taxed my z after it being sorn, it was a week before the end of the month, pretty sure I just lost the thee weeks of that month i.e I only got a weeks "use" of the first month...
  12. Those look fantastic, what sizes offsets did you go for?
  13. Greddy-Matt

    Wanted

    Could try rtbiscuit he he seems to be the man with a plan when it comes to vinyl etc, sure he'd be able to get you some
  14. Any chance of some cheeky sound clips if you get a chance?? I really want one of these!
  15. Also one thing that could contribute, if the tyres are new they've prob' got oily release agent all over them (which is why most good tyre shops tell you to go easy for the first hundred miles or so), I've always found falkens a little slippy when new but soon wears off.
  16. The front bumper is gorgeous, i like the sides, rear is little dull for me. Are these available as separates or whole kit only?
  17. Damage to the contact surface on the flywheel isn't normally the issue unless you've let it really go one it's started to slip, Neil is right with the dual mass bit, with these the flywheel is effectively mounted on rubber connectors which give a little when you engage the clutch, it gives you a softer engagement, but on most cars these rubber mounts wear, I've had a flywheel go on a focus st (at 47k miles!) where the mounts just gave up end result was the remainder of the flywheel went bang, replace the fly at the same time for piece of mind
  18. Not sure how you'd do it in the z with abs etc, but sounds similar to what happens if you put a flat spot in a front tyre.
  19. Oh well I guess it's a good thing it's pretty, I'll still be able to look at it once ive gone deaf as a post then. Hopefully I'll be able to have a listen to a few different exhausts this weekend at the Bournemouth meet and make a decision.
  20. Ah well, I don't really like the neighbours anyhow.... It can't be much louder than the stock one with no back box right (mine broke in half in the normal place by the flange)?
  21. Thanks guys that's very much appreciated, will pm you CS if you can supply these
  22. Hi Really quick question and apologies if it's been asked before ( I have used the search button honest). I need a new exhaust and looking at the buddyclub pro spec 3 as I like the twin cans but I can't find any info on if there are fitment issues with these on uk cars?? Does anyone know? I emailed buddyclub but not had a response yet and the seller who has these doesn't think there are any problems but won't guarantee no issues with the diff cooling fins etc.... Any info appreciated, otherwise I'll have to go down the Scorpion route. Cheers Matt
  23. Well a body shop would repair and paint that with ease I would of thought, or save yourself the hassle, remove the other and fit a set of these ones instead, much nicer: http://www.rhdjapan.com/chargespeed-car ... -z33-63571
  24. They do look like the Tommy Kaira side canards, if you really want to replace it try somewhere like RHD Japan
  25. I've run these on a few cars over 450bhp with no problems, predictable yes, progressive no not really in any given situation on the road at legal speed no problem unless its icy in which case leave the car at home, great dry tyre average in the wet, good budget tyre
