Re: Faisal's RS4

I've agonised over this for months - but I've finally decided that I'll be selling the RS4. I'll probably put the advert up towards the end of the month, and I'll be trying to sell through the forum in the first instance.

I’m using Motul RBF 660 fluid, Reybestos ST45 pads upfront and Carbotech XP8 at the rear. To help get some more air to the brakes, Billy Cloude of Clou...

Faisal’s TTRS (Turbo Turd mk2)

Brakes - With the pads, fluid and braided lines all previously sorted then the issue, IIRC, is likely caused by the OEM 370x32mm discs which are not "sided" (or handed) and therefore the discs internal cooling vanes are just garbage and don't cool-down the disc "properly" for anything even close to...

Faisal’s TTRS (Turbo Turd mk2)

I sold my mk1 TT trackcar ("The Turbo Turd" , "The Turbo Hairdryer") earlier this year after i got fed up with it. It was...

Re: DON'T DO IT ???? 20' RIMS

Which brand 20” rims did you have?

I’ve been running 20s for most of my 6-7yrs of ownership with no cracks or buckles.
