Mine did this for a while after the respray, with more frequent driving it's gone away on its own.

cheers, i've added myself to the event on FB (James)

Up for this, never been to ace cafe and it's just down the road. Also a week before my shoulder surgery so it'll be a nice last hurrah before not being allowed to drive for 8 weeks! WM52 YDO

I'm having to pull out guys - car is going back to the bodyshop today to have some paint snagging issues fixed and i highly doubt it'll be ready in time. Never, ever get a full respray, it's a never ending headache. I've sold my stand ticket to a friend of Drew's, Amy Hawkins, shes a CW dc5...

seems steep to me fella. 33 here, 10 years NCB... WD7 postcode, so north london-ish. I pay £400 a year with greenlight on a modified policy with 3000 miles a year limit.

one day i'll get some desmond regamaster evos, pretty much my dream wheel.. light as fook

hmm yeah could be... my factory mitsu 15in wheels were 8.6kg for just the wheel, they were pretty damn heavy for 15s. I went to aftermarket wheels at about 6.5kg each. I would say 9kg for the 17in DC5 oem wheel without a tyre would be about right. I don't know much about tyre weights though...

No problem for me having an FD2 on the stand, i'd actually really like to have a poke around one, seeing as they are the DC5s spiritual successor in a way :)

i think that wheel weight should be lbs mate, there's no way a 17in oem wheel and tyre weighs 19.5kg! 19.5lbs is 8.8kg which would be about right.

just ordered a pair myself :)

swap the front tyres across the axle and see if it pulls the other way...if it does, a new pair of front tyres should sort it, could be radial tyre pull.

I had the same problem after having new front tyres fitted and the geo done. Geo was perfect, turned out to be a tyre defect....radial tyre pull. Swapped the tyres across the axle on the front and it pulled the other way. Binned Hankook tyres and bought a pair of PS4s...sorted it.

i went last year, it wasn't too bad, but i would only go again if i was going on track. As much as i like cars, it got a bit boring looking at dc5s/s2000s/civics for an entire day...very nice cars there, just not a huge amount of variety.

PAID! :D

Cheers chaps, going to do my best!
