Does the oil breather help much?

The oil breather has made a difference to the gunk going onto the throttle body, before it was fitted I used to clean the throttle body once a month and it would always be a bit dirty, I cleaned the throttle body while I was waiting for the paint to dry and it was nice and clean!! Only trouble with the breather is you get the smell of oil vapour from time to time - oil catch tank is the best solution.........

I went for Red-Dot 20 grooved but only 'cos I picked them up off eBay for £20 - still had the original price sticker of £130 on the box when I got them!!

Nice find mate, good call on getting those, keep us posted on what they are like. Its an up-grade I want to do in the near future

Will do, didn't get a chance to drive it today........all day doing family stuff!!

Not the Hall then......

So, I finally managed to take the b for a spin and try out the new discs. Took about 20 mins to 'warm them up' and bed in the new pads but there is a difference in stopping on the front - thinking that I should put a set on the rear now............

Met a friend in a pub for lunch, walking away from the b and I turned around to see smoke rising from the discs - guess I gave them a really good 'warming up'!!!

I am a sucker for a new part me

Nah, really? It does not show!!!!

I have given up bidding against you on eBay now......................

Nice work LRB, they look really well, glad your happy with them.
What pads are you running on them?

Mark

At the moment I have a new set of MAGNET MARELLI fast road pads, I am keeping my eye out for a set of Red-dot fast road pads though.......being cash constrained at the moment I am keeping an eye on eBay!

Sounds like a plan, you can get everything on Ebay given time.
Ive used EBC green stuff in the past and found them to work really well so will probably stick with them
Keep us posted when you find them

Mark

Well, in keeping in the spirit of 'cheap' mod's I changed the rather nice but not appropriate Abarth badge that had been resting on the back of LRB with a more appropriate one.

Another £3.00 bargain from eBay!!

Very nice, opposite of what im trying to do though, ive the newer round badges on the front and rear and id like to replace them with black abarth badges but they are a weird size :bang:
Looking good

Mark

Thank you sir!

Every little bit helps m8 Nice one

Cheers Doc - trying to make sure I bag your mystery prize on Sunday!!
