NGK IRIDIUM IX - BKR8EIX x4

My brother (Kelvjy) took a few pics of my car now it is working.. well major misfire

It lives..





Kaaz 2-way diff is far too hardcore for me, so will be going. Suspension is too stiff @ 10kg/8kg.. other than that, I love it.

Quote from Jakg :

Spot the difference...

After:

I have always wondered about why people fit bigger discs & sometimes caliper spacers to account for the disc size.. if the pad is not covering most of the surface of the disc, is it not a pointless mod?

Below is an illustration of what I mean.. does this make it pointless?

oil looks alright though

woo, on the road from the 12th.. aftering owning it a year.

Adrian flux only wanted £650 to insure it, 25years old, 2 years ncb

My new wheels arrive for it Monday, 18x9.75 et20

Loving this new WTB Speed V Gel seat.

Quote from Jakg :

Oooo, where'd you get them from?

I got them from http://www.oponeo.co.uk for £87 each, just checked the site and they nolonger have them in stock.. same with most Uk places.

Decent mid-ranges apparently! Will see howlong they last with a 2-way diff.

Bought some new tyres from Poland... cheaper than getting them from England wtf!!



225/40/18 should be a small stretch over 18x9.75 wheels

Oh and new low downpipe arrived at work today, should allow me to run my car slightly lower (it is lower in that it splits to twin 2.5" pipes, rather than the single 3")

Play me some pimpin maayne!

No change

new ipiddle 3, only the 16GB Wifi, but loving it so far!

Desktop/Reminder

Epic bump..

40 miles / 64 km this weekend. And a question: Should a rear air shock lose pressure over a few days? i.e, this one is set to 195psi, after a few days, it's 150psi.






Fap Fap

Bought it last weekend.. still in awe as to how great it is to ride..

Quote from el pibe :

what happend to the beautyful handjob?

I have both, but the hardtail was giving me a sore lower back when riding the trials that I do. So went for a full sus, Handjob will be used for XC stuff!

Cars are so 2011.



Trek fuel ex 8 2012! cost me about 4x mx5 value!

This thread has gone to the dogs!

Strange one for you guys (brits) What car would you buy for £1,500 to be a "bike slag"

This will be to transport 1-2 mountain bikes on roof bars anywhere in the country

Petrol or diesel is not an issue, as I only do about 8k miles a year.

needs to be around insurance group 15 max.

This is my short list so far:

Obviously a pair of each

I have had this parked away for 10 months, and still use my shitbox mx5! hm.....

This thread inspired me to finally watch the Senna documentary. Really great stuff, what a driver!

He really was at unease with that williams when he died...
