I doubt it will be anything serious.

Wasn't in the end. Turned out to be the undertray catching the manifold. 30 min job, all sorted and car's perfect now.

I remember my undertray was catching onto something when i turn the steering wheel after i spun the car,it was making a tapping noise but just gave the undertray a tap to straighten it and the noise was gone lol.

Great news mate.

The aluminium tray under the engine is pretty close to the manifold, some aftermarket ones can rub :/

Booked the car in for next week to fit some PS4s.

Thanks for all the advice, I decided to go for the best in the end.

PS4 or PS4s? Lol, it's a great performance tyre if a bit louder.

Snap then

Just had them fitted! Looks like I need front brake pads soon...

kurosagi01 · 13 Jun 2019 at 16:21

Might aswell change the front disc while you're at it lol, I went for "OEM" rated disc like mintex and then bought stoptech brake pads when I did brake disc+pad replacement which wasn't super expensive.

rebel rebel · 13 Jun 2019 at 16:49

Will just get the pads done, not sure which ones to get yet.

Nasher · 13 Jun 2019 at 16:51

I'm using a mix of Ferodo (front) and Pagid (rear) atm. Will all be Ferodo eventually. None of them squeal like the OEM ones.

kurosagi01 · 13 Jun 2019 at 16:55

Stoptech or Hawk performance are decent for the money if you don't want pay the price for Ferodo pads.

Ferodo DS2500 Front Brake Pads - Fast Road - £188?

Decided after 4 years with my DC5 I'm going to sell up and get a GT86, already got a list of mods planed first being Tuning Developments N/A package with UEL and super resonated exhaust. New set of wheels, hopefully Enkei RPF1's and some stickier rubber.

Nasher · 16 Jun 2019 at 14:00

You can go UEL with the stock exhaust and it sounds good without being loud.

rebel rebel · 16 Jun 2019 at 17:02

I got done by a higher than normal speedbump and scrapped the front lip. :mad:

Whilst that’s a good long term plan, might I suggest a month or two stock first? As much as the mods make the car ‘better’ they will actually take away some of the car’s character. Appreciate the standard car first and you’ll appreciate the mods more.
