That's a little bit different now isn't it, I couldn't give a f**k if you died. But when you went around a corner with some pace and the car bump steers into a car killing the family on board, that's when I start "crying". At least with my death trap I'm only going to be killing myself when the roof caves in on itself.. In lighter news, picked up this for £50 with hosing. Its the DT £110 one. winnnerrrrrr s-l1600 by dann2707, on Flickr Edited July 29, 2016 by dann2707 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Moved to Newcastle. Drove the Subaru up. It was radical. My pads and general servicing items are here, the discs are at my mums 300 miles away. c**ts. Been in Peru for the last week, all of the cars there are f**king hilariously shit. Literally every single car there is a badly modified piece of shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TROYston Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 The 5 is for sale if anybody wants a cheap car on the standard deathtrap suspension not the deathtrap coilys... Also any clue on what front disks to get on the front of the 182 that are a good price for performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the website tartybikes or trials-uk level of trustworthy? Never used it before is all... What front pads would you recommend? Was think of EBC reds, had them on my golf and they were fantastic, but what about on the clio platform?

Mark W Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 That place is pretty legit - the guy who runs it (I think...) is the same person who's running Adam's old MX5 race car, and Adam's Mk3 used to belong to him too. Genuine guy. I think I've had a couple of bits and pieces from him through Adam before too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite expensive though, can get cheaper parts elsewhere but sometimes he does price match. I ended up getting my parts elsewhere as sadly he couldn't match with another place.

AdamR28 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Yeah George is a top lad. As said, I have his old car and he has mine. If the shit doesn't turn up, I'll refund you the £45 myself Front pads - what will you be using the car for? EBCs are turd in general. George will likely have whatever you need on the shelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROYston Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Top reviews, looks like ill be using him then! What brands and type do the 182 people use for front pads mainly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I like my Mintex 1144s on the road, enough of an upgrade at a reasonable price. Did fade after 3 back to back laps at Curborough though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 As it happens when cleaning my brakes up the other week I discovered my pads are also 1144s. Also experienced fade with them at Curby after a few back to back laps while everyone was having their dinner. Can imagine they'd be okay for the odd track day if you don't push them too hard.
