Hot damn that’s some brake porn there! ❤️

Take it this wasn’t from an MOT you’ve had done? Easy answer is that unless you are the kind of guy who can cut and weld bits out to fix yourself, take it to the local garage and get them to point it out to you. Might only need a wire brush and a bit of slap on it, or might need the aforementioned cut and weld job.

Wuss 😝🤣

Powerful enough to remove the patio itself if you want 🤣

The only K7 you should be buying is a Kranzle. Those things will outlast you.

Agree with the above, nothing wrong with a cheap exhaust if you know what you’re getting but I wouldn’t ever consider buying one from abroad as the returns simply aren’t worth the savings. It would be worthwhile having a chat with your local exhaust specialist about a custom job, as they tend to be very similar in price to the ones you’ve mentioned but usually 10x the quality.

Booooooring. This will be the first Aussie gp I’ve missed live for years this year, I cba to get up early and watch it before I go to work at 0630, just seems pointless. I’ll watch the highlights instead.

I say go see them both, drive them both and then make up your mind. Adverts are only a guide, and the best ads hide a myriad of sins.

I love F1, but this season is dull as anything. Precious little action at all in the first two races, at this rate I hope Max wins every race just so we have something to remember from this year. 2026 can’t come fast enough.

Changing the MAF may not have done anything, I would always go OEM if you think it might be the issue as non-OEM MAFs are notoriously unreliable (trusted brand or not). Been there, done that! See if someone local has one you can swap over quickly to test? I’d still go back with a can of brake cleaner and run it over all the joints to confirm there’s no leak, can’t hurt and it’s an easy one to rule out.

You say new MAF, OEM one? Could also be something as simple as an air leak post MAF too, worth checking that out as well.

If it is, it’s strong stuff then. Also why would you dry your wheels before using fallout remover? You can wash, rinse, apply fallout remover, then go do something else while it works (I like to get a small brush and some APC and do the little bits like badges and grills ).

Owned? No. Driven extensively? Yes. You all know how much I adore 911s, but that was a silly comparison. Might as well say you’d rather have a McLaren F1 at that point, if we’re playing the prefer game 😂

For twice as much? Certainly not twice the car.

I could’ve sworn there was a pax airbag switch on my old one, I apologise if I’ve got that wrong though as it’s been a while since I owned it! Having a couple of young ones of my own, I can safely say that having two cars (fun one plus a diesel barge) is infinitely more interesting than one compromise. If the kid is in the car you’re not driving fast any way so it doesn’t have to be dynamic, and then you have the option of enjoying your hobby when time permits.
