I know there's technically no 'upgrade' in performance with them, but being an old boy racer they will look nice through the wheels when the car is at shows

Following on from the 45 disc upgrade on the boys car ..... I'm looking to upgrade my discs on the Cabbie to grooved & drilled all round. This is where the confusion starts ... Are the R8 262mm vented front & 239mm solid rear all the same on whatever model variant ? I ask because looking on ...

Job jobbed today, used my spare set of refurbished calipers & carriers from a 216 Cabriolet (the Boy owes me now :laughing2 :laughing2) The 45 calipers were 10mm(ish) narrower & the carriers were the same but for a small lip, which could easily be removed with a grinder to accommodate the wi...

Going on about the Scottish being tight, the Cornish are just as bad.... My Dad was so tight he used to turn the Gas off when he flipped his Fried Eggs over. I came home from School one day & Dad was stripping the Wallpaper, I said "bout time you redecorated, this wallpapers older than me !...
