I've only had them on for a few weeks. It is too early to judge disc wear.
If they are braking harder then I'm fully expecting additional disc wear. I'll try not to press the brake too often. :D
I was running DS2500 pads before. I've recently changed over to EBC Bluestuff and they are much better.
I was concerned that the trackday compound might not be great when cold, but they are still good when cold.
For me tyres are one if not the most important part on a performance car. I will always stick to the tried, trusted and proven manufacturers.
My car had Continental Sport Contact 5 96 load rating when I got it. I thought they were good.
I went for Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric 2 with the 92 load...
Grip levels are really good. What tyres have you got on?
Spinning up both front wheels exiting a corner is always in interesting moment. It usually needs a damp or poor surface.
I was speaking to a company about diamond cut replication the other week. The wheel ends up with the black and silver finish, but has the durability of a powder coat finish.
The only issue is there is more labour and more cost involved.
When R wheels are powder coated one colour they don't...
It was KW V2 I was looking at, but I'm fearful they don't improve the car much. The same with a remap. I'd hope it would help a bit with the lag.
The issues with a rare car that we don't hear too many owner's experiences or get a drive in someone else's car.
I think the R is a very good handling car. On smooth roads it's easy to drive fast and predictable. I' d put it on par with some of the better hot hatchbacks. It is quite easy to drive fast, but is fine doing it.
My A45 AMG was really easy to drive fast, but it had to be driven too fast to...
What other performance cars have you driven?
All cars are unsettled on rough roads. Some become really nervous. A lot of people want 4wd traction, but you've still got the car moving and increased braking distances.
I've recently changed over to Bluestuff brake pads from Ferodo DS2500. The...
They are Axe wheels. They are at the cheapest end of the alloy wheel market.
The car was advertised on here by the previous owner. When it ended up on eBay there was a number of bidders. Something is putting everyone off this time.
The private sale car with around 65,000 miles for £12,600 sold fast.
It is still the usable cars at reasonable prices that are selling. Although the modified one with the new engine is still for sale.
Another few private sale cars have come up in the last week or two. It will be interesting to see how they go. A few have reduced their prices already.
Only one of the dealer cars has sold. The market is looking a little quiet.
Godspeed made a few sets of bells to suit the discs they supply. They stopped supplying them quickly for some reason. They still do 308 GTI discs. They might have measurments and drawings. They might have access to a program to manufacturer them.
Getting a bespoke set of bells machined from...
You can buy the battery from Euro car parts and they have an option where local garages will fit the parts. Looks like garages around here charge £20 for fitting the battery.
Welcome along.
What parts are you needing?
I've had mine for 4 years now and I've got everything I've needed.
Some parts have come direct from Peugeot dealers. Fish Brothers run Peugeot parts direct and they are the place for front brake discs. There are very few options when it comes to...
