  1. Yellowstuff are very good on lighter cars (I've run them on the VXR and MR2 with success) but on heavier stuff they can give up quite easily. If it were me, I'd change fluid and not just another lot of the RBF600. I ran the Endless fluid in my Zed which being a ragtop weighed a fair bit, and saw some horrendous temps on track but the fluid NEVER failed at all. It's ridiculously expensive, but then it's also utterly incredible so you do get what you pay for. I currently use the ATE 200 as well, which I run across the MR2 and the BMW, as well as the 911 before that. All have been tracked extensively, and I personally prefer it to the RBF600. It's not as good as the Endless stuff, but then it's 1/3 of the price. 30mins on track is excessive, both on the driver and the car unless it's specced for race stuff. If you're a heavy braker as well then that's equally not going to help. And turn the traction off!
  2. 11" is plenty, bearing in mind it'll open up wider once you're past the frame too.

    Newby alert...

    Get yourself a set of MPSS on there, then pop the old rears on eBay for cheaps. At least get some cash back that way
  4. Did they have to knock the wheel to get it off? They can stick to the hubs, so often need a clout to free them up which could've knocked your geometry. That wouldn't account for all your issues, however. Wait for the alignment results.
  5. Good luck getting a reply! It's a reasonable amount, what are you buying?
  6. The servers have been live since 1300 this afternoon...

  8. Poor sod Still, pussy digs scars apparently
  9. Roughly plus 25% on total cost, including shipping. This takes into account both import duty and VAT.
  10. :lol: Comeback of the year, right there. Well played sir!
  11. Win10 is a heck of a lot smoother than the current iOS release. Tbh I almost feel like iOS is starting to become a bit bloatware, with Windows being the more streamlined experience. As an Apple fan, I'd never have thought I'd be saying that!
  12. First I've heard of it. Do you not mean the slave or master cylinder? They're know to fail, the slave more than the master, and they can cause the same issue.
  13. As a rule, unless they're using a particularly unique piece of software OR running a complex set of PCs over a local intranet, then Win10 is a smashing OS and they'd be wise to take the free upgrade. Don't get me wrong, I liked 7 and 8.1, but 10 really is an a different level. It's even made it possible to run some really old DOS stuff that refused to do anything on the older systems, so I'm all for it. But yes, you can permanently disable the update by installing third-party software that can block it.
  14. Well done you!
  15. Right, I see what you're getting at now. The same rule applies though. That said, the MPSS have excellent rim protection on them, other tyres probably do too but I don't know any off hand. If you don't fancy those then you could put on some of those AlloyGator things, or just be careful when you're parking/manoeuvring.
  16. They will be, however they can vary in quality and you really don't want one of these to be stripping the threads. Should be fine though, just be aware.
  17. For OEM, that would seem about right.
  18. Okay, I give up, what is it? Apart from a Lexus!
  19. Revillusion? Never heard of them. Nah, I'm going down with TeamTarmac, mate is bringing his Gallardo so should be a good run out
  20. Please don't pick tyres based on how they look. They're the only thing keeping you on the road, so buy them based on how they perform.
  21. That would look soooooo much better blended in. The rivets ruin it IMHO, as otherwise on a stock that that looks really good
  22. No, the exchange is the big building which distributes to the green cabinets.
