Yea I know what you mean Dan. I like to be prepared aswell, so I always carry my RAC membership card and Bart's phone number (a man who can):auto:

lol now that's a lot lighter than what i carry

Well today i bought some new brake pads for the car after a couple of days of the front nearside brake caliper seizing up it gave me a good excuse to kill two birds with one stone.

So as you do you take the wheel off and take the caliper apart and then we came to the brake pads





lmao both totally fubar, one cracked and one tapered but after being on there for 13k miles, 3 track days, 2 autotests, 1 drag event and a partridge in a pear tree. i think they've stood up to the abuse quite well certainly worth their

[maff]

Eww at the tapered pad, that was the side that was sticking i guess? Horrible floating calipers with a siezed pin?

[Daniel]

Yep, bang on there Matt^ >_< where the dust boots have perished waters gotten into it and pitted the pins

[maff]

Check this out Dan, relentless profiteering

How fucking mutch?

I saw that on the gadget show a few weeks ago and shit a brick when they mentioned the price! the only advantage that one has over the ones we've been buying is that you can select whether you want the timestamp on or off.

saying that i do like that micro one

Update; All's well with the MR2 at the moment. The brakes are bedding in very well and my new tyres are also on and have some 'wear' on them too



Today i gave the car a good once over in all aspects including a thorough clean and polish. Managed to get my silencer to sit right for the first time and made holes in the bumpers to hold the cams on;







You can sort of see in ths photo the partial interior strip;



also my RMD seat is on order, it's identical to this but in black;



hopefully that will be here early next week ^ so i can make adapters for my oem rails and test it.

Good progress mate. That seat was excellent when I tried the same @ Cadwell in Mike's M3

[Daniel]

Cheers Stu, will be awesome if i get it in time. if not i'll have to put the non slip mat back on the seat
