Hope you got it all off and no staines!!!!! Work does have a tendancy to leave you shattered, but the car benifits! lol I was having a headache trying to begin building a web page based on the learning theories of Behaviourism, Cognative and Humanist including the works of Maslow, Piaget, Thorndike, Bruner, Vygotsky and a few others

On the plus side, the car should have new rims for next weekend

Interesting, I actually consider myself to be a humanist.
Einstien was a a humanist... therefore I must have the same reasoning as him lol I once wrote an article about it as a non religious alternative, bit different to the angle your coming at it from, but i guess its all the same principles.
Anyway which rims you gone for?? are you going to try and do both the meets at the start of dec?? surely you have to, to show off the new shoes

I go more along the behaviourist ish all abit boring, but need to do it for work/college. Going for rota grid drifts in flat back, 18 x 9.5. Still undecided about the Sat meet, might be abit much for the kids, still a chance though (and am trying, do anything for a bacon buttie lol). Definatly on for the Sunday meet and visit my mum after, she lives 10 mins from Bodmin. Are you still on for them? Guess depends on how work goes?

Been dithering for ages, as the wheels, but sensible side wanting to get something on the cheap. Know that I'd never be happy with anything else so .......

Ive just gone for Rota grid drifts in flat black, but also a big fan of gun metal grey too. Wheels and colour is a very very personal thing though. Must get pics up when you've decided mate!!

Dont know much about the differences in breaks tbh, when mine are shot, I'm thinking to go for upgraded disks and pads, but doubt I'll go for a new 'full set up'. Seen my new rims today didnt have time to fit them though, will do that Friday afternoon and keep them spangly for Sat and Sun!

alright craig, not sure on which brakes the N/A has but the STi brembos are pretty damn good if you get the disk and pad combo right. for me the best disk and pad set up was ferodo ds3000 pads and performance friction disks.....I would almost go as far as saying they were as good if not better than my current set up


whoooop for the weather finally turning nicer! not going to work friday so i can get the car nice and shiney for the weekend

Hi Sam, looking good for the weekend, if Mrs gets over flu in time, might be me and my boy for sat.
Did you think any more about that caliper paint?

Must admit I upgraded my brakes to K Sport 8 pots - only £15 more than the 6 pots, less than 5mm clearance on my Hawkeye 17" wheels so had to buy 18" rims to clear the brakes

Ask the supplier. It was not just the clearance on the rim but also on the spokes of the wheel. They did fit under my Hawkeye rims but i was unhappy with the overall clearance, I thought that any small stone getting in there may jam it all up. Luckily my local wheel supplier trial fitted a few rims for me so we could see the clearances. Hence I ended up with Asuka ST6s from the Innovit range.

been bit busy so haven't properly researched it mate, but I had a quick (very quick really) word with my mechanic and he reckons it would be better to get them dipped, which is a way bigger job and requires lots more prep....But I will look into it fully when i get some time.
