  1. Only 5 orders so far according to Richard - again, if you have feedback - lemme know!

     

     

     

    Do you mean 5 left or..? Surely he's had more than 5 people order on here alone.

     

    I think he means 5 orders for this month from users on this site (using our discount code)

     

    ^^This!^^

     

    Richard reckons only 5 orders placed (using our discount code) which surprises me

     

    Doh!

     

    I'm an idiot.

     

    Ordered mine at the beginning of the month, love these things.

  2. They look good, how do you find the performance of them?

     

    Very good. A definite upgrade over original, haven't had a chance to push them yet but general driving they are nice and sharp, even from cold. Braided HEL brake lines being fitted next month with some decent fluid so that should make them even better.

  3. Not sure if anyone will be interested in these, but they've only been on the car for 4000 miles/3 months.

     

    Only selling as I've upgraded all the discs and pads to Black Diamond. Not sure on the make of the discs but from Googling the model number on the pads they appear to be made by 'Blueprint', so I can only assume the discs are the same make. Obviously no lip on discs or crumbled pads and they stopped the car no problems. All pads equally worn with 9mm of material which I believe is what they actually come with.

     

    Were fitted to an 07 HR with Brembos.

     

    Pads £20 inc postage.

    Discs £40 collected from Horsham, W. Sussex or add £10 for postage due to weight.

    Cheers.

  4. QD and a microfibre, always carry this in the car!

     

    I always do this between weekly washes if it gets surface dust on it or rain marks (not if it's heavily soiled though). I use Chemical Guys Speed Wipe which doesn't streak and also has the benefit of being anti static so discourages build up of dust. Also enhances wax and smells great! :)

  5. Thought this might happen when I changed all the pads on my Brembos yesterday, but soaked the bolts for 30 mins in WD40 and they came out nicely. They were done up incredibly tight though and it wasn't easy getting a breaker bar in the right position to crack them.

     

    As above, if you are drilling them out go for tungsten carbide drill bits or cobalt. I used cobalt on a wheel nut that snapped on a previous car and it went through them like a hot knife through butter.

  6. For what it's worth, that screw extraction set from screwfix is crap. I bought them for use on another car that had a sheared bolt and they snapped on first use. Bought a set of cobalt drill bits instead and they went through the metal like a hot knife through butter.

  7. I use Chemical Guys Speed Wipe after washing and drying and between weekly washes as a waterless wash. It's an anti-static QD and does a fantastic job at giving a great shine and also prolonging the life of wax.

  8. I'm going up to Gloucestershire next month for a little road trip with the other half and will be spending one of the days in Wales to do a bit of driving and I'm after some advice on a decent route to involve the best roads. Monmouth will be the closest place to where we're staying (Forest of Dean) so we can call that the starting point.

     

    I know there's a yearly meet in Wales so was wondering if anyone can offer some advice on the routes used there?

     

    Thanks.
