I've dropped the Ibiza of at Jabba for a cam belt change, water pump and general overhaul.

Ordered some new brakes: grooved 280 disks - eliptical and ferodo ds2500 pads
from Bill after the standards wore down after 11 months.

I will also be taking it to the tyre place on Fri for new tyres all round.

What an expensive week lol

I currently have Toyo Proxies Ts-1's, they are good in the dry, crap in the wet but they are really soft and dont last long, can anyone recommend a decent alternative thats not too expensive?

Cheers,
Mike

Its madness!! But like Stew said, its all worth while.

I was very tempted to tell them to Revo it at the same time, but I just cant afford it this month.

i suppose there's no harm in asking - but im sure they'd put your cambelt kit a inches out of line if you did! they are cheaper than revo for their stage 1 software anyway
