Yeah as in "DAMN IT! Paul left my I/C hoses un done and I lost boost" or "we had the turbo apart but Paul didn't put new rings on the oil return so my car's leaking oil" That about right??

Thats easy fixed, just dont have a turbo

Just make sure that your coil lead is properly attached before you head out onto the track

It prevents you from having a heart attack when your car suddenly stops!!!

Haha that'd suck. You should come to a trackday this year Sam. Oh and I hear you have new wheels aswell?

by **NILPSI** » Sun Feb 05, 2006 6:19 pm

That i do, but i wont be using them on the track, as ive heard 17s arent the best for trackwork!!!

Good thing i still have my lightweight 14s :wink:

I plan to do something this year as i havnt been to any of the drags meets either :oops:

by **Truenotch** » Sun Feb 05, 2006 6:27 pm

yeah come in june or something, I'm keen to see how the 20v goes

by **NILPSI** » Sun Feb 05, 2006 6:35 pm

Better than some silly blue/redtop freak

Were you not there when i went out last year in july?

Im looking forward to having a play on the track again, i will also put some better pads in my car, thoses brand new toyota ones didnt last 5 laps last time

by **Truenotch** » Sun Feb 05, 2006 7:14 pm

Yeah get some with more metal content I reckon. I have Bendix Metal Kings and they work sweet and are fine when cold aswell.

And nah I wasn't there when you took your car out, that was the one day that I didn't go last year I think.

by **NILPSI** » Sun Feb 05, 2006 7:30 pm

Yea i had lucas pads in it when iu first got it and they were mint i went out for a 10 min run at an old open day and got no fade at all!!!

Does anybody know how safe it is to get rotors slotted? Or is it better to buy pre-slotted ones?
