Bed them in properly, and they will be more than adequate for any situation

The destructions are quite comprehensive for the bedding in process!

They will probably squeak like a mutha fucker when braking normally, just embrace it

The 1155 were embarrassing tbh. I just shouted racecar every time I stopped.

Only heard good things

Fantastic on the megane rs mate. Can stand on the brakes and loads of power, no fade whatsoever.

 

[andybond]

Pads fitted ( by myself )

done the bedding in process and they fucking stink!
However , I can now lock up my fronts again. Whoooo!

Can you see the water on the window? That’s the water coming out of the reservoir under braking pressure.

 

[andybond]

I had two keys, a spare un fobbed key and one cobra plip ( thanks car fact thread )

I ordered a new cobra plip and now I have done the magic key on / off combo on the new and old plip I have two working plip, two working keys and a unfobbed master.

They arent that bad embrace it. Brake power or noise, choose one

 

[Duncan Grier]

Run stock pads or fast road for road use, and save the good ones for track?

These were my thoughts

However, RACECAR!

( you cant win mate! )

 

[andybond]

Well, owned the exige a year now. Delighted with the car. I tend to keep my cars for 2/3 years an move on.

I have drawn up my shortlist for what I would like next.

Here it is and in order.

Ferrari 458 challenge. Will need some fettling to become road legal, but doable.



Second :

Porsche 997.1 turbo. Tuneable to the max ..



I must reiterate though I am still completely in love with the exige.

 

[Norwich Nick]

It would be the Porsche for me. Been looking at replacements for the Clio when I’m all grow’d up and wearing big boy pants, a carrera 4 variety has been top of the search function. To be honest though autotrader is the adult equivalent of looking in the Argos catalogue

My wife has glazed her brake pads on her car, handy as I always know when she’s pulling up outside the house, embarrassing when out in it though. I have to shout “woman driver” though

One of my mates has a 996 I think, they seem to tune very easily with bolt on mods.

Hence why I want a 997.1 ...

 

[Duncan Grier]

Friend had 996 turbo S and with just a map went really well the S flavour has the lump as the GT2 so a great base for big power. Much restraint needed lol

Polar opposite to a big powered lotus plastic cars

He sold for fear of big bill, clutch replacement etc as everything was not cheap even brakes were a LOT, forget what a porker garage wanted to fit them for

Same kind of thing as a R35 GTR massively quick and loads of fancy tech to help but mega bucks to run with the £££ fear factor for big maintenance items

Still epic cars and have either as a perfect daily if I could afford one
