  1. You'll be fine with the z if your going from lymington the ramps there are fairly gentle (I've not scraped my n1), if your going from red funnel in Southampton, the last time I used them they put me on the lower deck I think, that was with a car way lower than the z!

  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. 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!

  5. 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 :thumbs:

  6. 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 :thumbs:
