I passed with 2nd cat in place ( oem )and car very warm 

I can't revert to OEM so get a monster for good money.

When I trade mine in I'm just going to stick the original rear lights on and jack the coilovers up to what looks like a standard height.
I'll leave the exhaust, it's not that loud when hot. I can't be faffed with taking suspension and exhaust off, I'll only have them sitting in the garden for months while someone offers me 47p on Facebook for them.

I am 2 miles from Basingstoke, TD turbo and lots more 

I find them fine aswell. Overheated them once in a BBK but was an overly long hot session and I was risking it.
They get a lot of bad press online from people who drive them with heavier cars.
This might sound an odd point, but the build quality of the pad itself is better than all others I've tried. I used to have to file the backing plates of EBC and Carbotech pads down so they weren't a tight fit in the caliper but these DS2500's slot in beautifully!
 

Interesting people don't like the 2500's I ran these on sprints and found them fine, too aggressive and you find ABS cutting in a lot. Road use I do very little of so no feedback there I'm afraid.

News in, from Richard. Mine should be arriving at RRG Macc today. Arranged Saturday pick up.

My two chosen styles / colour

I did acknowledge that it wasn't entirely fair. The idea of "100k car bills" is only relevant if you're buying it for <£20k, as a leggy 25 year old "bargain supercar". The car I linked has 21st century build quality and only 6k on the clock. You could merrily add another 40 or 50k with little more than routine consumables.
If you're spending £50k on a coupe/sports car, you're going to be financially comfortable, so you can afford to run a relatively new GranTurismo. I did initially mention an Evora as something more directly comparable and that would doubtless be a little cheaper to run. As £50k-ish cars, I would take one of those two (or perhaps a late V8 Vantage) with under 10k on it in preference to anything that you can buy for £50k new because they are far more special and exciting.
At most price points you can't pick up something low mileage and more exciting by going used. At £50k I think you absolutely can. For me, that makes it a valid comparison.

Am sure there was not much of sleep last night The exciting day has arrived. Drive safe!

Good write up @Lauren was a good day and very challenging to us all, you seem to have pretty much dominated the NA class this year WELL DONE. My personal day was much the same trying to cope with the additional power in changeable conditions, I do miss the NA battles if I am honest.
 
Next up is one of your favourites so look forward to another great weekend.

Mercedes use superchargers (the Kompressor cars) and I believe the Mini Cooper S uses one.
Is using forced induction necessary?  No, I can make pretty good progress in my tuned NA car.  Is it an emotional desire for more power?  You bet, and it would be silly to claim otherwise.

Hello and welcome, not far from you in Hook. OH has an 86 and I race my turbo 86, any questions just fire away. Great club here with a good FB group as well.

I picked up a fuel container for trackdays as places like Anglesey and Blyton are a bit of a pain for getting VPower. I went with a VP Racing container with filling spout as they seem well regarded on the track groups I'm a member of (and several people from here like @KevinA said they used them and recommended them too). 

Exactly that.  I've had my BRZ dyno tuned on every major mod and there is no real substitute, compared with base maps that don't quite match your car.

Does the boot have OEM spoiler holes.

Went for the Yuasa - good as gold!
Thanks again everyone!

I used the NS2r in Time Attack street class, not so great on the 86. Would say a PS4 would be quicker especially in the wet.

Thanks Guys, some good advice.
Will probably replace just the pads and fluid to start off with and see how I get on, with as KevinA mentioned, shorter stints......
Unless a cheap BBK conversion comes up 🙈😂

Turbo is the next awesome step 

Should be able to make the next one 

The ring is very easy on pads, just throwing it out there. 
Good pads and a stock calliper will work just fine for most agreed by most here, for HARD driving to achieve a consistent and repeatable pedal throughout the day a BBK is the most sustainable way forward.

I have the blue one and Lauren has the red one, at least we have one in the south 👍

Ahh that’s a shame, see you there Kev.
also can you bring the flags please.
