Sorry, yes, Performance Friction and I sourced mine from Alex as well, although I ran them with PF pads (01 compound front, Z compound rear but on stock discs). Transformed the car.

Buy the absolute best brakes you can afford. Two-piece discs will save you weight at the exact place you need to be saving it, so a 1KG saving there is worth a 5KG saving anywhere else on the car (it's why light wheels are worth a fortune!). I would consider any extra cost very much money well spent. I used the PF two-piece discs on mine and they were absolutely immense, however the DBAs would be my next choice if the PFs weren't available. Get the brake hoses done as well if you haven't already done so while you're there (very little extra labour needed) and some good fluid in there and it will make a huge difference to the car as a whole. If you can stop quicker then you can go quicker, and if you weigh less you can corner faster.

Coupling is one of the single greatest TV shows ever. The Giggle Loop and The Melty Man rule my life.

Genius

They are and I'd love one, but not for that kind of money. No exhaust is worth that IMHO unless you're trying to save every last little bit of weight for racing.

PM'd

I never showed you the bill for the 911 exhausts, did I? Makes that seem cheap Go look up the price of the Tubistyle Veyron exhausts, will make you feel a whole lot better

Read the wording of your own insurance to be sure, but usually it will state something like "Any modification that differs from the manufacturer's standard model" or some other legal jibberish. Basically if it was an option or you've stuck it on afterwards, then tell them. The worst they can do is charge you extra for it, at best they'll just say they don't care at all.

Any of the major plate traders (RegTransfer etc) will be able to do this for you, although you'll pay more as they'll want their cut too. In theory you could try and convince the DVLA to release the owner's details for you, but whilst your reason is genuine I doubt they'll give you what you're after due to their strict rulebook.

Go for some resonated decats then, if you don't want the raspy sounds. Personally that's what I'm going for on the MX-5, and the end pipe will be left as plain as can be so I can bolt any old sounds reducer onto it for trackdays. If I go by when the car was registered in this country then I need cats too, but if I point the MOT tester to the VIN number and ask them to look it up on their system they won't be able to find it and I can go catless I take it you've sorted all the spark issues and the leaky gasket things?

Remove all cats. Install straight through pipes. ??????? Profit.

Waiting for the missus to go to bed so I can carry on playing ME3

Ignoring anything dull like living things or photos, I'd be grabbing: 1. My lucky black drumsticks 2. My Wusthof chef's knife 3. My collection of 1:18 model cars

That's my next car. In black, with red interior highlights. I may have to grow a third testicle in order to have enough manliness to actually drive it, though.

Just take your finger off the button mid-fold, and you'll have full access.

White Shark wheel wax? Looks good mate, top job

K1 in a coupe K1 in a roadster For the OP, mpg won't change diddly-squat.

Sounds like you've got the mixture knob set incorrectly on the lance. I had the same problem until I realised that the + and - was for how much water you wanted, not how much snow foam

You're not kidding, I think they outweigh the actual informative content on here now!

I read the propoganda that came with Jo's teacher strike ballot last year, and after reading it there was no way they even considered giving anything approaching a balanced viewpoint. It was quite disgusting to read, if I'm honest.

Yeah, 'cos all rugby players are saints Both cases prove the exception rather than the rule IMHO.

I wouldn't even bother with that, tbh. Within a mile or so of driving on normal i.e. non-oiled road surface you'll have scraped everything off anyway.

Sorry, I assumed the £10K was a typo given the amount of zeroes on it. Clearly not, so I do apologise because I now look like an utter arse with my last comment, sorry Hugh.

Those lights are vile.
