    Not sure what tracks you go to but all the ones I go to have very strict noise limits.

    I forgot to add that the test drive was a success. It fired straight up on the first turn, lovely. It idled at about 2.2k rpm for a while and the oil pressure was almost at the top of the gauge, a little worrying. Then the exhaust wrap started smoking like a camp fire!?! My nosey neighbour must've been well impressed Once I rolled her out the garage though the revs lowered and the oil pressure dropped back down. All my gauges were telling me everything was fine and nothing was leaking, excellent!

    After finding myself a new ramp (an old door that was sat on top of the shed. My previous ramp (a table tennis table top) was thrown out by my gardener) I managed to get the car off the driveway and off down the road to my friendly Shell garage. The car drove fine but in these damp/greasy conditions the RSR's had no grip at all. After a good warm up I gave the throttle a blip and 1.5 bar was seen . The car didn't move very far though as the tyres spun as soon as the boost came on. The nasty screamer's horrid and it needs a little tuneup but I'm pretty happy it's running again.

    Next up is to get the, pads changed, the exhaust fixed, the new wheels on and vinyl applied. Then, when the weathers a little better, it's up to Cambridge for an MB Auto retune

    PAS fluid does get a bit bubbly but I'm not sure it'll melt. Had a shield on it for a while and seemed to make naff all difference, fluid still bubbled. It's done a fair few days without exploding and my bay should be cooler now thanks to some extra mods so I think it'll be ok.

    I'm amazed as my screamers the loudest thing on the planet. With the windows down through the Dartford tunnel it makes your ears bleed!

    Fair point but his cars far from standard and the only one I know of.

    tbh the screamers are very loud with the greddy tdo6 setups. probably due to the screamer pipe only being a few inches long.

    Carbolook conversion hoses orded from Hel Performance. Managed to score a cheeky 10% discount so a deserved shout out to them. Having just had a quote from Brake Caliper Specialists of £650 for the calipers to be refurbed, the discount on the lines has taken the sting out of it a little I'm waiting to hear if their boss is feeling the NY generosity and is willing to lower the price a little. When these brakes go back on fully refurbed, painted, new lines and fluid I'm not going to be happy if my face doesn't hit the windscreen on the first application.

    Anyone have any other suggestions for brake specialists?
