What do you mean "if you feel like pushing harder".... the first BDD is getting used to it. From here on in its completely involuntary... when you get on track the brain gets left in a bucket in the pits, put the helmet on.... the red mist descends and its a completely different loon behind the wheel....

Its just making sure the normal person who brought the car there did enough to keep the loon on the track from braking it....

There is nothing you can do to stop it... its genetics!

Doh! Well it looks like I'll have to get a new set. My fault I suppose. I left them there. Although I didn't think they would fit the 325. You can take them as payment for helping with my car.

I'm sure you will Paul. Its okay, sure OEM discs can't be that expensive. Can they?

Not far off what you paid for the ATE Powerdiscs... but why would you bother changing them out when selling the car? They'll be fairly well used at that stage (unless its like next week).

really, why would you change them back to OEM? What car do you plan to put the powerdiscs on?

I'll give you the powerdiscs. I don't want the buyer of the Z3 to think its been thrashed. If I saw performance discs on it I wouldn't buy it for fear of it blowing up.

ok, I didn't know the powerdiscs would be a turnoff for a buyer. I don't think we'll wear the discs too much, pads wear out much quicker. Cheers!

Hold on a second Flyingalex don't you think you should maybe ask the
real owner of the discs before agreeing to anything?
