  1. I remember doing a day at Castle Combe in similar conditions in an R300, -6c air temp and go knows what wind chill. Could only stand 10mins on track before rushing back to the truck to sit with the heater on 🤣

    R8 would you?

    £6.50/l for PSF 🤣
  3. Take it back, what’s the issue? You want new cats?
  4. That’s what I’d do personally, a good Italian tune up works wonders. Plus, y’know, it’s fun!
  5. Five years! Blimey, the one in my mx5 is 15 years and still going strong! 😂 Test it, if it’s fine then leave it alone. Halfords will do it for free, if you’re really stuck for a place to go.
  6. That’s the beauty of a custom job, if you don’t like it then you tell them to change it

    Mate, I’m as diehard a petrol head as you’ll find but even I can see that electric cars are the future now. Whilst I have no desire to own one as a fun car, like it or not they’ll be your only choice before you know it.

    Well, we’ve had the brunt of that already and the cost of ICE performance stuff is still going up, so you make your own call Honestly, I don’t believe there’s a cat in hell’s chance of fun stuff dropping below what it is now. Much more likely to go the other way, and if costs keep increasing then it just puts them even more out of reach.

    Put it another way, if you don’t do it now then when? Give it three years and these cars will be totally unavailable.
  10. Now if only they’d make another M5 Touring, I’d be a very happy man
  11. Tbh you would be better served finding a local exhaust specialist and having something custom made. That’s what I did with my old BMW: I told them how I wanted it to sound, what volume level I was comfortable with, and what tips I wanted. They did the rest and I was more than happy with the result. Did the same at another company for my Dad’s Hummer, including a removable silencer so it was essentially straight through after removing it. God that sounded like thunder!

    Oh no, you’ve started the “is the R8 a supercar?” conversation You can get a set of passive dampers for £1K-£2K depending on what you want to spend, so they’re not silly money. Discs and pads can be had for much less than what’s been mentioned too, it just depends on whether you’re going OEM or are happy with aftermarket. I came very close to buying one before getting a 911, but ultimately there’s a reason so many people default to a Porker…
  13. So who is then? Because to my knowledge, every other driver potentially on the table for that accolade also had a year when they were somewhat off the pace.
  14. That’s kinda my point. In an auto you get what, 3-4 secs of engagement before you’re in ban territory, whereas with a manual you’ll maybe double that. Faster does not always equal better. I don’t dispute for one second in stop start traffic an auto is the clear winner.
  15. You say that like it’s a good thing.
  16. Then why did their data not record any attempt to press the brake?
  17. I’m calling BS on any malfunction. As much as I loathe Musk and his companies, their explanation seems perfectly reasoned.
  18. Wow, what an absolute idiot.
  19. Fair enough Personally I hate them, they take up a ton of space when screen is at a premium, and mostly they’re full of junk (like car history 😂). Link to a build is a good shout though, hadn’t thought of that.
  20. Out of pure curiosity, can I ask why? Both on a phone where screen space is limited, and on a forum full stop?
  21. Thankfully, they don’t show up in either on mine
  22. Probably not a lot on it as insurance is a PITA over here when you have NOS installed.
  23. I STILL DEMAND MY REFUND!!!!11 😡😡😡
  24. What’s it for then? REIS cover most things, if you’ve not tried them already.
