are grooved brakes directional ?
If your discs have curved cooling vanes, then the discs themselves are directional and should be installed with the cooling vanes running back from the inside to outside diameters in the direction of rotation. -Andrew

brembro brakes
For the R33 Brembo setup - the standard Z32 short brake line (caliper to flexible brake line) will fit the Brembo calipers. You will need to slightly reshape the line as the Brembo caliper sits further out from the axle then the OEM caliper (~22mm). -Andrew

Has anyone got a CARBING rear strut bar fitted...
Pics for you. I got the cut right by using another spare trim and roughly cutting out enough material so that the trim would sit fixed in place with the strut fitted. I then made up a thick paper template stuck to the trim to get the exact cutting lines. The opposite side is a mirror so just transferred the final cutting lines over. The slots are now blanked off with some of that padding material that you find behind the boot trim panels. The strut didn't come with a template. You are welcome to take measurements at Beaulieu. -Andrew

Mercedes E class
I've had a w211 53 plate e270cdi Avantgarde estate for about two years and now a 55 plate e320 cdi sport estate for the last year. The post facelift w211 56 plate onwards is the one to go for, as MB fixed a lot reliability issues (mostly electrical). I've has no big problems so far, but then I may have been lucky. I take mine to an independent MB garage to avoid the very high hourly rates of the main dealers. The e320 is well built and nice to drive. The V6 is very smooth, quiet for a diesel and pulls like a train. I get 38+ mpg on fast long runs. -Andrew

Anyone running a Selin twin-MAF setup?
I fitted a Selin Dual MAF Translator and dual intake elbow kit along with a pair of HKS filters in the car. The setup replaced the single MAF and HKS filter setup I had before. I had to make no changes to the ECU in order to use the Selin, it is a plug and play upgrade. You can read about the Selin kit here: http://www.selindesign.net/electronics.html The install was pretty straight forward and took about 2 hours to carry out. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at the results. The car picks up much quicker than before, with faster throttle response and better acceleration. You can read more from Greg Dupree from Specialty-Z here: http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=2416119 Getting rid of the restrictive intake T piece which has each bank of cylinders fighting for air seems to be the key and you can see the sort of gains that are being reported on dynos with the Selin setup. The picture shows the install of the Selin Translator, dual intake elbow kit along with the HKS filters (the black box with blue silicon pipes is part of the HKS EVC). -Andrew

removing spoiler
You will find it easier to remove the spoiler if you break off the six plastic fixing clips from inside the boot lid. Use a long screwdriver or chisel. You may then find that the spoiler will lift away without needing to cheese wire the adhesive strip on the leading edge. -Andrew
