Re: rollcage group buy anyone???

I've been to the somerset stages twice now, and although most of it is definitely much smoother than say the rallye sunseeker, it is still very rough on a car. I would definitely get out and do a road rally that uses some whites, as that will highlight potential problems before any money is spent.

Re: rollcage group buy anyone???

Re: Wheel / Tyre sizes... oh and brake fade...

Also i live about 10 minutes away from the "evo triangle"... great fun unless you get cronic brake fade like my 360 seems to, i have changed the fluid, pads are almost new, anyone any ideas?

Re: B14 Cam upgrades

I've not looked into engine swaps tbh - just know that the valver swap is very straightforward, I just wanted to give the brief reminder that from experience, lots of little expenses add up in the end and you realise that it is often actually cheaper to do the bigger upgrade that you thought you cou...
