Re: BXE, BKC Rod PORN
Seen this a few times on other forums, totally ridiculous failure due to trying to get more MPG out of engine by lightening parts and cutting on costs as well. The original 1.9 engines were pretty bullet proof on the bottom end, these modern lumps are just rubbish. It's not that they are highly str...

Re: BXE, BKC Rod PORN

Re: Need new discs and pads, worth upgrading?
Ds2500 are the best I've used (3000 are a little poor when cold) red stuff I've found noisy and the pad broke away from the backing on a few sets, green stuff were mega soft and didn't last long imho
