can't be good as its filtered in my work

i meant title but wrote posts only averaged 15 hours sleep over the last 3 days

who complained ?? i Did i spoke to stew about it if you read the report post it was done tongue in cheek. it wasn't what you wrote, it was the fact that someone went in and altered posts for there own amusement. and we can't do that. the comment was meant to come across as i want to alter others posts as well. nothing to do with content.

was a nice sounding exhaust. one of the big things we noticed over all the clips we watched was that generally as soon as you added testpipes/decats you got a lot of rasp. for me its not a sound i like but for others they like it. but definitely something to watch.

is that an oriental optometrists convention?

To a point BM your right alot of the instructions are common sense, and you would expect most people to be able to do it. but what is also included are some useful tips like; suitable products for prepping the surface i use lighter fluid as its better than the usual meths or white spirit. it gets in better removes more crap and evaporates quicker with less residue left behind. yes any old pleb can stick a decal on but not everyone can get it lined up or straight; (any one can drive a car doesn't mean they all drive like jenson button) tips like using masking tape as base line. or only tacking the centre to allow a twist motion aren't always something that comes to mind for people that haven't fitted much before. nor is everyone aware that using heat improves glue adhesion, or that you shouldn't really use any glue externally in temperatures lower than about 10 degrees, (same with paint) yes the basics of it is common sense but the idea was to lend some tips. i put it up so that when someone gets some vinyl from me, instead of having to re write every time the best way to apply it, i can just copy and paste the link to the thread. i can strip down and refit a gearbox, to me that's a piece of cake, but it doesn't mean i look down at everyone else who isn't as capable, and think them silly because they can't. i don't take this personally, hence why i suggested splitting the thread and allowing to discuss it. this is an open forum after all.

for a mate i'll do it for free

you spin me right round baby; right round; like rocket baby; round round i've been mentally scared by that as well :yuk:

coming from the man who watches meat spin

discs can be done at a later date if not i think CS does some OEM plain discs at not to massive a price.

the people taking the mick are just upset they weren't invited. think what you like, we all know the truth at the end of the day the only person whos view counts is my wife, and she says i aint a bummer

agreed a good choice pad, but might be out of the budget margin. but mitz at CS is the man to speak to as he also does the red and yellow stuff as well.

i think EBC redstuff fall into that price, if you can stretch then the yellow stuff is a better option, think its about £120 for pads all round.

decals and stickers are slightly different but no point splitting hairs. the issues i had raised before is people struggling to get them straight, all i've done is put together a comprehensive guide to doing, like prepping the surface, the best way of aligning and how to avoid getting things on the wonk. if your more than capable of fitting decals then whats the problem, this guide obviously isn't for you. as for official and unofficial debate; has this not been covered in depth over a very long time and is an extremely boring one. i can pick a selection of things on this forum which are copies, and because they're from official traders its perfectly fine. i do it and all of a sudden its an issue. what a surprise. if you have a problem with the vinyl work it might be worth you PM'ing me rather than making a point on here. the issue is not the vinyl the thread was a guide for fitting if you don't need help then don't read it. but some people do struggle and not everyone wants to pipe up and say they struggle with it. yes you might be a "modding genius" and the technicalities of fitting decals is as easy as farting in the morning for others it isn't. and as said before if you want to discuss the finer ins and outs of copies do it on a fresh thread, or get the mods to split this one.

its more that things i rmeember the kids know nothing of. for instants beavis and butt head are non existant in the under 16's brain as is mask tony hart finger mouse marathon bars the list goes on. anyways back to stupid places to take a car

because lots of people are to stupid to check else where and just renew with out asking questions. i'm with admiral, and have been for 3 years, but every year my renewal is always higher than previous. with a bit of ringing around and getting quotes. have gone back and ended up back with them and saving another £200 on the previous year. its all a game. why they play it is a pain. keeping customer loyalty is not a priority

and your comments are helpful how? the guide was there for fitting vinyl its no different to sticking a club sticker on the car, if you have nismo parts on your car what's wrong with advertising the point on your B-pillar. its meant to be a guide not a discussion point. if you have a problem with it or want to discuss it further, why not start a new thread on the forum and do it there.

28 here, we're still young, but with more life experience

at that age they're never wrong, even when they are

Nope, not according to me, but according to EBC themselves. Mechanics at Autofit Ipswich were told by EBC not to fit Yellowstuff to any thing other than a plain disc. thanks for filling in the gaps, i remembered you mentioning it, but couldn't remember all the facts.

just out of interest bennett where did you get the % increase in performance over stock brembo data?

looking very tidy

haha! Before my first car, I used my mum's Nissan Micra 1.0 (the bubble shape one), the poor thing was ragged all day long, fantastic handbrake turns.... i learnt to J-turn in my mums metro i say learnt it was more that i used it for practising in. when i have kids that are that age i will get the the cheapest piece of metal with the smallest engine in.as i know exactly what they'll go and do.

according to BM you shouldn't use Yellow stuff pads with anything other than a plain disc. they aren't designed for grooved or drilled discs. ferodo DS2500 are a popular choice and i think there is a version above that as well if you want to be more track focused. the Dixcel setup is meant to be very good if you have more to spend. and possibly if your FI a more suitable option.
