i tell you what, the rain certainly made for an interesting drive home last night.
it wasn't treacherous but certainly required being gentle on the throttle.

Re: ***Oxfordshire Meet - Weds 27th Mar***19:00 onwards meet, 19:30 food***
another great evening guys, food at the new venue was very good (even if my random nonsensical ramblings interrupted).
i don't know if i can do the next one so i'll have to play that by ear.

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
Yeah I am going to look into the TC issue after ive checked the subframe/linkages. Replace wheel and make sure hub hasn't taken any twist. Had been looking at new tyres next month, but given I now need to buy a wheel its going to have to wait another month. Landsail are on the bottom of the scales ...

Re: Tyre changers and wheels balancers
Mini PSA for education that I thought I'd add here, didn't seem worth a new thread. Anyway, this week our Jaguar XF drove over a small screw. That itself not a problem and would be an easy repair, being just far enough from the edge. I've done many such plug and patch repairs now. https://www.dropb...

Re: C hooked discs
i find that the Mtec discs and M1144's will squeal under light braking when cold.
a thrash and rebed normally solves this for the short term, i'm guessing the pad compound is just hard enough to make the discs sing under light braking.

Re: C hooked discs

i do want to try C-hooks though on my next set of disks for the rex

Useful info which I didn't know beforehand 👍 Think mine failed on Tuesday when I parked in a multi storey there may have been a wet patch underneath that looked a bit green.

No that'd be bad. 😂 Reading is an hour and 30 from work. If I can get the car over speed bumps at work it'd be nice to get it out straight after work. However if I had a 3.30am getup time the next day... I'd have to inhale my food and leave within 5 minutes almost. 😂 sweet i could almost chase you ...
