    Is remapping nessecary if installing uel header?

    The 95 map will pull timing to avoid the increased potential for knock with a lower octain fuel. However I don't know exactly what impact this will have on emissions.

    Another Happy Customer 🙂

    Glad it's suiting you so well, can't wait to get it fitted in mine! Did you have much of a drive back home from TD to enjoy it?
  5. So, started the car up to head to the dealer, and all is good. No CEL, just a nice startup and a burble. Tried off and on again, took it for a spin, perfect. No handling loss, no lights (other than TC). So, im going to keep an eye on it, but for the moment I'll be doing exactly nothing and saving money for when it goes properly wrong.
  6. Dealer says only thing its had done is the battery. Booked in for Friday, so let's see what they say. Sigh.
  7. True enough about the length of time, its only on 14,000 miles though. I guess it depends what the main factor for it is. Also, correct me if I am wrong, but this is more about the sensor being out rather than the cam timing being off. It isnt a danger to the engine unless the cam timing also shits the bed, basically if I drive it, I'm running without the safety net.
  8. Hi all. I recently swapped over to new tires. Since the change I noticed the car was pulling to the left, I attributed this to a change to tracking. However this weekend I took a trip down to my folks. I noticed on parts of the motorway that were cambered to the right the car would pull with it. It's this something you have experienced when driving the twins on non primacy tires, and it's this something I need to worry about?

    Bedding New Pads

    Yellow stuff ask for a heat cycle after ~200 miles. Series of 60 to 10 mph breaks followed by a cool down period.

    Disks and pads.

    Right, just for confirmation, if you go for the dba disks and yellow stuff pads you shouldn't install the anti squeal shims supplied with the pads. The disks are very slightly wider than standard, and the shims make the pad assembly slightly wider than normal. These 2 slight increases mean the pads will be in contact with the disks causing heat buildup and excessive wear if left like that. Big thanks to part box and lucas especially for getting to the bottom of my problems.

    Worst Car Ever Driven

    I'm not a fan of any of the small work vans, I cant remember what exactly we had, but it was gutless and as you had, multiple latch injuries. The big work van we had was a Sprinter, thing was awesome (and ate tires), although its pillars sometimes obstructed cars on small roundabouts, easy to work around though.

    Discounted track days

    I'm up for meeting up at the pub after Bedford. I would love to head to Donnington on the 10th, but the bank balance is screaming no.

    Disks and pads.

    Cheers Lucas! Popped the order through, now the waiting game begins!

    Disks and pads.

    I mean, you also do the DBA T3s How would I go about getting the forum discount, a search on the forum doesn't reveal anything?

    Disks and pads.

    OK, so the good news is that the rears are fine, loads of pad left and barely any lip on the disk. The shudder has also gone, after taking a look at the brakes I think it could have been caused by unevenness of the tire due to rubber pickup (they still have a fair bit of pickup on them after driving ~70miles). The fronts on the other hand have very little left and a fair old lip. So, with all the advice on here (and way too much reading of reviews during my working day) I think the best route for me for long term is as follows (please let me know if its bloody stupid to do so as front and rears will be on different disks and pads) DBA Front Disks for the longevity and stopping power with as of yet undecided pads. The only problem I can see is that the best price listed specs the Width as 25mm rather than 24mm. http://clarkmotorsport.co.uk/parts/4000-T3-Series-Brake-Disc---SLOTTED-(pair)/Front/DBA4650ST3P Those are the same DBA4650S as https://www.dbabrakes.eu/discbrakes/21602/DBA4650S But with different specs! Bah. Could someone with some knowledge confirm im looking at the right ones?

    Hi All. Would there be room for a newbie to come along? If so, I'll see you at the pub ready to head in @ 8:00.
