    There fantastic pads deacon. Think I'll get some Cosworth track pads. Ment to be quite good.
    Think all that needs doing now is proper pads and steering rack bushes

    The 200 will not be ready, too much needed and specialists can not fit it in for a few weeks, nearly took a diesel instead...

    ...but good?? sense has prevailed and I've take the Prodrive RX8 instead.

    Just need a new battery and yellow stuff pads all round, and a electric window motor!!

    It's the perfect car for the Ring...did the job last year
    2004 - on : 1999 S14a 398bhp 378lb/ft
    2010 - on : 2007 RX8 PZ
    1998 - 2004 : 1991 S13

    S14 is out of the body shop. Just doing some tidying up, fitting buckets etc then need to do some miles to make sure it's all ok after it's 9 month lay up.

    Possibly a good thing I didn't get it flushed as I boiled the fluid at Japfest (again ) and destroyed the rear pads

    Fluids being done tomorrow and have a full set of Porterfields coming which will hopefully be fitted before we leave - otherwise the special guest will have a job when we get there

    Flushing out the coolant at some point before we go aswell as she overheated a bit at Combe...

    lol - I want a sub 9 aswell
    Dependant on traffic and weather though really I guess - the car should be good for it though

    As for the special guest - I'm not sure he's so special this year as we know he's coming

    Friday afternoon to do list - change oil and coolant, fit new brake pads all round and flush the system with some dot 5.1. Change spark plugs. Replace all boost jubillee clips with mikalor clamps. Get wheels balanced....think that's about it but i'm sure to think of something else that needs doing.

    Thankfully having a run over to wales on teh weekend so that should hopefully highlight any last issues i might have.

    Just been out with the S14 on a photo shoot on the moors. We abandoned it due to rain but still got to do some miles in the car and give it a bit of grief. All ok apart from the clutch that has decided for some reason, after umpteen events and thousands of miles, that it suddenly needs bleeding as the pedals dropped to the floor.

    Will investigate for potential slave or master cylinder issue.
