Sounds like £299 is suggested price to me. I mean, it says don't charge less £299 but do not exaggerate

it says "from price"

My dealer (Snows Toyota Hedge End) came up to me with a £15 monthly payment for 3 years. Covering 3 years service with no extra costs. I am very happy with that.

it is actually a bit serious. 6 hours operation from kidney... scaaarrryyy!!!

i was following from phone and missed that. sorry... just checking but they all from australia.

i dont do track days. just street use. oem pads lasted 22000miles and soon they will be replaced. what i didnt like about oems? they dont stop the car well on high speed. it is not the tyres. pedal goes very hard, i press the pedal very hard but feels like someone put oil on brake disks. im talking about from 80mph to 20 for instance. it happened few times. it was not the weather. also recently had a problem with pulling to the left like crazy when i applied brakes. hardly controlled the car and it was about 40mph max. wanted to stop on traffic lights. this happened few times as well. safety has the highest priority. then longevity. then dust. since i've learned that oem pads are around £139, any advanced pads are cheaper than oem ones. PS: i was just talking to Mark@Abbey and he told me that Hawk is a good choice and I think i will go with that. it was a short talk due to he was busy as usual but in couple of weeks time i will get more information face to face.

@Special K: do you mean project mu - hc plus?

Only found £104 at nengun and only HC plus available.

PMu looking good. Price wise similar to Oem as Toyota genuine is £139 for the fronts. They lasted 22000miles only. Since there will be a s/c I want something stopping better than Oem. It should last long as well. Meanwhile less dust is better but not essential. Basically I'm after a better pads as Oem ones wasn't good enough to me

Thank you knightyrider

Hi everyone, I've recently bought S5-210 with charge cooler. I was wondering, do I need an oil cooler? I am not doing track days. Just for street use. Also another question; I've seen Deatschwerks injectors. I can see that injectors are for port but not direct. What are the benefits if I purchase those injectors? I guess D4S using direct injectors on some point.

Copy cats...

sorry, what do you mean by "big budget"? and what do you mean by "risk of a higher limit on a bigger charger"?

@knightyrider; i am confused. really. let me write what i've understood from you. on stock (hi rev) 20% PI and 80% DI what they sell is PI injectors so, whatever I am going to spend is just to upgrade that 20% part of the injectors however after upgrade it can be re-adjusted. this is what i meant. please correct me if i misunderstood. ps: yes i am planning over 300 for future. like stage 2 with internal engine upgrades etc... maybe even biger ports, different cam, much higher revs, bigger s/c etc... of course this is just a plan yet.

so injector upgrade is based on 20% part of the capacity... and the tweak with the ecu. it must be a very complicated and/or sensitive tuning. it might end up with disaster i guess. of course depends on who is tuning but in this case it is really not worth to spend around £300 for the injectors (plus around £80 for the fuel pump) unless the car is going to be setup for drag races or show etc. sounds like unnecessary to me for street use but maybe on next stage?

hmm... thank you for the correction. "If you can get port injectors that satisfy the fuel requirements then why bother with the DI?" according to d4s system, on high revs only DI is active (of course it is tweak-able)

thank you guys... once more. I have to correct myself as I meant D4S is using both port and direct injection. So, why are they selling only port injectors? My logic says that if the system requires 2 different injectors then they should sell both type not only port injectors, shouldn't they? I know also with tuning it is adjustable but port injector usage causes carbon build-ups around valves.

That's what I thought but wanted to ask just in case. Thank you guys...

booked on 12th!

This completed yesterday... (spoiler has a slight problem as they were out of vinyl so they will change it to all yellow later on) Everyone is calling the car as bumble bee now. lol nice to see people taking photos of it when im driving around the town... Mods so far: clicking volume control shark fin antenna auto retract mirrors with the central locking wrapping HKS panel filter milltek full non-res exhaust ecutek and tuning soon: better looking alloys s/c calliper colouring duck tail spoiler

just checked... it is 75mm what I have. deepest research result, found 69mm Sprintex pulley.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sprintex-MINI-Cooper-S-supercharger-pulley-KAVS-Motorsport-BMW-JCW-/261228079080?pt=Race_Car_Parts&hash=item3cd26827e8 found this... looks pretty much the same. What stops us to put this pulley?

Mine are near end according to service. Fact: traffic is no good

I've got 75 on it (I think) or 70mm. cant remember

I was reading and some put 58mm
