Crossthreaded?

To be honest, when I say "I've even looking", what I really mean is that "I want one but haven't got around to properly looking" Supreme silver tipped sounds like the way to go

badger.swf Anyone tried one of these brushes? I've been looking at getting a shaving foam brush for a while, never heard of a badger hair one though, just wondering if they're any good.

Possibly a slight variation between EBC pads and Ferodo ones, certainly nothing I'd worry about unless they're different side to side. Most pads don't cover the entire surface of the disc, but some do.

I could understand them breaking up in a turbo application with the incredible amounts of extra heat, but an SC? You've not got solid mounts on the engine or gearbox, have you Darren?

Just for the record, that's not my usual style of grub!

Agree with Marzman and Ace on this, either buy a cheapy cheapy one and expect to replace it fairly quickly, or buy a really good one and stick with it for life. Definitely stick with wired though, dremels aren't much cop on the really big stuff and if you do need to use it outside you can always run an extension cable.

That's the first alezan-interiored car I've seen that doesn't have the daft steering wheel with the orange bit at the bottom, and it looks far better for it. That was the one thing that always put me off wanting it on mine. Top car OP, nothing quite like a revup ragtop for the proverbial win

I don't think it's a case of not capable, it's either ignorance or forgetfulness not to remove the brake fluid reservoir cap. Greekman is spot on about the possibility of rupturing seals, but tbh I'd have thought it would be nigh-on impossible to push the pistons back in with the cap on (especially by hand), so I suspect that the OP did remove the cap.

Chill folks, it's only the Internet.

Bright much

They'll be fine in the rain, should provide good grip and adjustability if they keep the traits they had on the Elise I drove when it was p*ssing down!

Bizarre, how's the brake pedal feel?

All brakes or just the handbrake? Can you spin the front wheels by hand?

Solid tyre, certainly fine on lighter stuff like the Elise, never tried them on a heavy car though.

But it was a death trap, would you like me to lie and say it was fine? I nearly killed myself on the M1 changing lanes when the back end wanted to overtake the front, which never happened on tyres that kept the stagger. If you want to run wider rubber then fine, just match it at the rear, it's not that complicated. Never scrimp on tyres, brakes or condoms. That'll get you through life, that will.

You get minor pressure going back when the exhaust valves open the same time as the intake valves, doesn't happen often but can do under certain partial load conditions, for economy and emission reasons. It's why so many mk3 MR2s had blown engines due to their pre-cats breaking down. Unlikely to happen, but not impossible. No warranty on them then, gotta be worth a shout for a goodwill gesture though I reckon. Where/when did Will get them?

More worrying is if the engine has scavenged any of that back in... That sucks dude, when did you get them?

Sadly, that was probably the case too. BMW can provide a ton of support vehicles at the drop of a hat, and were probably happy to suck up the losses knowing that every day those vehicles would be on the tellybox I'm not sure if I'd prefer UK-built cars at a higher cost, or foreign ones for less. Neither is a perfect scenario really.

Who's to say the companies mentioned (well, clearly not RR) weren't approached, but came back with a more expensive option than BMW?

Actually, that's a fair point.

Wire brush and a coat of Hammerite will sort that.

Driven a car with reduced stagger? Yup, and it was a bloody deathtrap, and I'd never ever do it again. To be fair it wasn't my choice of tyres anyway, they came with the wheels I was purchasing but the tyres got binned literally as soon as I got home.

Someone saw the same episode! I'm still really full

I love the programme so much, Adam Richman is my hero. As such, and in deference to my healthy lifestyle I've been living for the past 18 months, today I decided to create one of the delicacies that I saw on one his shows this week. First, sear a pork shoulder in a hot pan then pop into the slow cooker: When it's done, pull that pork and lay onto four tortilla breads: Add a tin of baked beans: Add an onion that you put in the slow cooker as well: Next, a good helping of grated cheese: Now panic as you realise that there is no way this is all going to fit inside just four tortillas, so grab another four: Pop on one tub of hot salsa and one tub of coleslaw: Commence rolling: Wrap that badboy in tinfoil, to hold it all together: Cut into two portions and serve Eat! Yes, I ate it all (well, my half). And yes, I was incredibly full afterwards, but by god was it amazing!
