what have you done to your car today ?

[Alexis27]

Brake pad light has come on. They've done 21,000 which seems a bit rubbish. They're Pagids

 

[andylong]

If they have been good pads for you, the wear rate wouldn't trouble me.
An opportunity to get the brakes serviced too.
Brakes shouldn't be a fit and forget item.

 

[Alexis27]

Yeah they've been absolutely fine. Might be a case of better the devil you know.

My old battery in the car that refused to charge, has now charged perfectly now that I've spunked £72 on a new battery. Swine.

No worries, happy to help out (this is the first time I've had internet/phone signal and not been driving since yesterday )

Finally, FINALLY, tracked down every last leak in the doors so now my car doesn't come with my own personal footbath

Lol...if your car can survive the UK weather, you know you've done a good job!

Oh don't worry, it's been fully tested (yay for Scottish weather).

Course the gearbox/clutch is making some noises that sound... problematic but I'll just wear ear plugs

Replaced the rear window wiper motor assembly - all because the rear jet was squished and not working
Worst bit was getting the plastic trim back on around the rear window.

You know the rear washer jet is removable don’t you only £2 on eBay

Yep but the centre hollow spindle where it pushes into was totally squished

Took the R to Mallory Park Circuit.
Had a day ragging it with 3 GR Yaris’s and the trusty Honda CRX VTEC!
And got a drive in a pals Yaris!!
Ridiculous grip in wet and damp. Bonkers in the dry,
Drove round the outside of every car on track. And I mean every car from R8 to Ferrari to 250 cup exige, bimmers, stripped out fast n furious S2000 on slicks etc etc etc. Did them all.
Freakin’ mental car.
When it dried. Out came the old Spaniard!
Put in a decent performance until I shredded my front right R888R down through layer of rubber through to the core. Results of blasting and pushing through what the limited slip diff can do.
Mega day, vids to follow!

Ouch...that is seriously chewed up. Costly business racing cars! Thrills = bills

Yeah. Actually peeled a whole layer of rubber from that area.
Got to be something going on.
Can’t just be the diff.
Or my driving. First track was anti clockwise so right tyre should get abuse. But all the wear ( most ) is on the inside of the right tyre. Not the outside edge.
Then went to a clockwise circuit and now main wear should be to outside of left tyre but most damage was again to inside edge of my right tyre.
We discussed and thought the diff was doing over time to account for it but I think there must be more to it.
Need a suspension guru to chat to.
There is lots of on and off camber corners at Mallory and that just play a part but I’m scratching my head on this one.

Yeah, best to get some further advice.
A pain in the arse for sure & doesn't quite make sense only wearing on the right inside.

Don't suppose you've got your alignment settings handy do you? When I saw it I thought "Looks like running too much camber and cooking the edge"

Tyre inflation info too would be good
