I would hope the garage is full otherwise it is a total waste of money!
What have you done to your car today?

Lol, I wished that's a garage. The car is in my yard and the roller shutter door is to the outside. The problem of living in a Victoria Terrace.

Positive is you can build a massive garage if you want to! I am stuck with mine and constantly having to breath in when trying to get into my car!

My wife and children will never forgive me if I build a garage in the yard.
It's amazingly simple though. It's just a zipped up enclosure driven by couple of 80mm case fans. Did cost me nearly £600 though. I did look at renting some garages close by but buying that is just way cheaper and more convenient.

New pads and disks for the Corolla, had some cheap nasty pads on it and crappy disks. Also one of the caliper slider pins was seized on one side. Much better now, not used EBC yellows before so will have to see how they go as I have heard mixed opinions.

I went from yellows to carbotech and the difference was like spam to a rump steak. Not really fair though as carbotechs are over double the price.
Got them from MTEC but the disks are Delphi, got them in the black Friday sale so will see how they go for the price. I don't expect they can be any worse for dust than the DS2500 on my Starlet. I'm not using the car on track so for the road I expect they will be absolutely fine.
Not saying they're the best out there but with what people say about them, you would think they sucked. Nice. I mostly use mine on the road but done a track day on them no issues, they actually transformed on the track, they really got up to temp and gave me a fantastic pedal afterwards.

I had Yellowstuff on a couple of my cars. They were really bad when they were cold, and decent when they got some heat in them. Overall I don't think they were worth the extra over your standard fair motorfactor Pagid/etc pads.
Surprised at that. Best I got out of my FN2 was 31mpg during a longish run of ~63mph with cruise control onMade it do this.
Lift and coast Lewis, lift and coast...
Sounds very low. That figure should be obtainable as a combined average in an FN2.
My 1.8 Type-S just about gets 300 miles per tank. I'm assuming the FN2 has the same size tank. Granted on a run it does a lot better. Think this says a lot more about me than the car mind you Ticked over 163k this week. Had it 6 years by end of April neat year and done over 100k of those miles myself. Desperately need a large estate next, just waiting to get rid of my house.
Not sure, from what I can gather from a quick google it seems quite normal. It always used to get about 24mpg in town too which is pretty standard from what I can see.
You are having a laugh. If I drive with a feather touch on the throttle I can just about get 32 on a mixed commute.
Feathering along and lots of coasting and no more than 55mph. No VTEC (I think the whole journey was sub 2500rpm)
An ex colleague had a Mugen FN2 and hers regularly showed over 30MPG on the average. Ignore me then, maybe she used to push it to work.
