I think it's time I get a torque wrench.

I have this for torquing up:

I also have an expensive Facom one for measuring torque.

Confused, I linked you to thAT DAB unit in some thread a while back but thanks

At my age my alcohol and petrol fumes addled brain has difficulty remember what day of the week it is, let alone what links I've got from who.

Same here but older revision which doesn't show Nm. I have a few Torqueleader ones for items requiring less torque/more accuracy.

Right, as I have been getting happier with the handling with this car now and am 'enjoying' my driving more and more, I want to look more seriously at getting the front arches rolled slightly to minimize/eliminate any catching. I am pretty sure that I am just about ok atthe back. Came across these guys and the prices are very good. £100 including trimming the arch liners. Must remember what you can get when you pay peanuts though:

Thoughts? Care?

Do they offer a solution for when the liner hangs down like a donkey dick? Also, won't stones fly up into the liner gap to form inverse hail damage?

I must be getting old cos I really dislike the exposed rim on alloys. Can't beat having rim protection on the tyres!

Back to your question though Nic, I've never heard of them, but it sounds like a good idea worth persuing!

He's a personal friend of mine, the HQ is in Welwyn Gdn City, although they have a network of 'rollers' throughout the country. If you're in the SE then Phil will sort you out and do a good job, he's very detailed focused and won't rush the job. He's done 2 of my cars to perfection.

Easy son, I don't study the forum religiously, if you need to talk PM me fella!

Carbotechs are simply amazing. OEM bite from cold, but relentless, ever improving braking when hot, the harder you brake the better they are! Only thing u have to make sure is that your fluid is up to par, as these babies are cooking. Honestly never thought you could make such improvements with pads alone, but they are simply chalk and cheese compared to OEM for fast road use. Got to test them on some mountain roads in Spain and they rocked!

Just about to take the plunge with a set of Ohlins coilovers after being disappointed with the PSS9s - they better be good for the price they're charging...
