Again with the nothing constructive other than being a bellend. As previous, take your own advice..
Ah ha!, if it is't our very own resident Mr Carbon Fibre, go and watch Fast and Furious again, you muppet, you might get more idea's for your sack of nails, wasteman.

Seems you are Mr Dependable. Whenever a massive twat is required, look, there you are, fufilling the role and then some. How about you crawl back into your fetid hole and go fuck yourself. Prick.

Ok, any more of this rubbish (and I don't mean the remains of Dan's engine) will result in bans. Shut it - all of you. Simples

& that includes anything that Kos may feel the need to add btw - I'm guessing that Dan has probably got the idea that you two are never going to make beautiful babies together - so leave it.

Godspeed brakes asked me what I did with the P1 and they said the Alcon blue stuff pads would be fine for what I do with the car , ironically none of which is real track use.

I've taken it to the pod a couple of times and that's about as close it has even gotten to be on a track.

The bedding in was on the leaflet that came with the box. They are still better when cold than what the standard brakes were

and I've not got the balls in me to even attempt to get them so hot they start to fade!

No intentions of going red and white lamps on the rear?

STI rear lights are a really nice touch. They are about £250 a pair , so something for the future.

Next thing I want to do is retro fit the STI version 8 steering wheel to the car.

and you are who, Ban Ki Moon ?

not every one will get along, and there is nothing wrong with expressing opinions even if they are blunt

Dan, good to you are putting it to use, but 2 things stand out to me.
1, you have a new Daily car. this is something you were advised about before as an option and carry on with the alpina. but truth be it you lost interest in it?
2, JDM stickers, do you know what JDM means ?! if you dont and for those who do not know its Japanese Domestic Market. a 22B is JDM, you're car is not JDM at all. its a UK special !

When I refer to JDM I am aware of the meaning , I was meaning how they do sticker-bombing or heavily sticker up their own rides over there more. Yeah my P1 is more British than most as with mine being Prodrive's press car it did get stripped and built a few times during it's life with them.

The 22B is a bad comparison to the P1 due to the 22B it much stronger DNA with the true rally car with the flared arches and much more twitchy nature. The Type-R was really the true JDM cousin of my P1 , after that's what the P1 used for a base. Bar things like the DCCD , climate control , electric mirrors and intercooler spray they are pretty much the same cars. Most Type-R owners call the P1 a Type-R with all the good bits taken off

Yeah I do have a better "other" car that I'm able to use but this car only appeared for me to use at the start of the year. I still own only one car for now how ever being back in the work force is helping me keep the P1 up running and yes it's not a cheap car to keep but it's fun. If I was in the position I am in now , this time last year I would have done things differently , but there's not much I can do to change that now.
