How would you know that then?

I guess you're just looking to shake loose as many bolts on the mounts as possible....  :rolleyes:

well what i do is do the opposite to you, that way i know its pro  :grin:  :tongue:

you guess wrong, i'm looking to rattle bolts loose all over the car, its my new weight saving technique 

(or it could be due to the tight clearance between manifold and shifter box)

Not just me then.

I presumed my template making sucked.

Apparently not..... or maybe your template making sucks as badly as mine does....

the car got ragged round castle combe yesterday  :smiley:

as per normal with me and trackdays, i had gear linkage issues in the morning :rolleyes: for some reason the quick shift link decided to start chafing on the linkages, so that was removed.

the new ebc yellow pads were decidedly sh!t, maybe something to do with the hot day, but they faded quickly and left a blue tint on the discs, indicating overheating i think.

heres a vid of a session from one of those ebay cams mounted on the bumper

Nice work on the bumper cam. Really wish I'd put mine there now.
