Not having a rant but.....How much threads do you want to make about your NON corsa car? Every single thing you buy/fit gets a new thread.

Can't you just keep adding to your thread in projects?

You dont have to read my posts. This is general chat. NOT general CORSA chat. Unless something has happened in the last few months... be quiet.

But why do you feel the need to make constant thread about fucking spark plugs ffs. You already have a project thread. Whoever wants to follow your project can surely read the updates in that thread?

The admin did say about this kind of thing not long ago.

Tottaly agree with AK.. although most of his threads relate to his skyline there interesting. Most of the parts being fitted to his skyline are also available for Corsas.. i.e these brake pads so its all rellevant..

the pads are a bit pants when cold though.

i have Mintex 1155's on the corsa and they seem better with cooler temps.

Interestingly.... My corsa has bigger front brakes than the skyline :/ Overbraked.... pttffffff

MMmmm let me think about this post....

Only thing is when you post up something in here and post the link to Projects...Duplicate posting.

If you are updating the project thread with same post maybe should just stay in there..

Spark plug thread etc is good as it's a discussion etc etc....

yes... but....

I'm simply saying that the DS3000's are good.

Not that i've fitted them/bought them. Different line of discussion. I've then went on to include a comparison with track going pads i have in the corsa.

In my opinion this is a worthwhile post on brake pads, irrespective of which car.
