ta - but that looks like motorbike helmets. I'll give them a ring tomorrow. any other places in the meantime?

Hi, I need a karting/trackday helmet but can't find anywhere nearby Bournemouth, or the South in general for that matter, that sells them. Reluctant to just buy one off the net before I've tried it on for obvious reasons. Anyone know of a place round here that sells them? Cheers

And how could I resist...

just seen this (cheers jamie found it from the alfa forum). I went from a clio 16v to an Alfa 147 GTA... bit of a change I can tell you. I agree with all the comments made, I have the Q2 diff fitted makes a big difference. I find its always CTR drivers who try it on, which the Alfa makes...

Yep was prepared for the power deficit and for it "feeling slow" but that one I tried was way too slow and lumpy. And although the Alfa has the legs above 60, upto 60 there shouldn't be too much in it really although I've never had the pleasure of finding out. Cheers for 172 owners offers but...

Thinking of chopping in the Alfa for a 182/Trophy to start doing track days so took a 182 out which was on 50,000 miles. I used to have a valver before and have a soft spot for clio's, never driven a 182 but this one must have been a real dog - properly lumpy after warming up and what felt...

Yeah that was me mate! Thought it was you coming out of B+Q, then noticed the sticker and you mentioned your exhaust was a bit wonky. I did feel a bit like a stalker must admit... but they've shut that other bit of road well annoying. First ever spot, sure our paths will cross again... The...

love them, only ever seen 2. One was a few years back and the other was last week behind me on a slip road, he wasnt ragging it though

cheers for quick replies! The noise isnt too loud yet and I need other stuff doing to it at the garage or I would just do it myself. I'm only going to do about another 30 miles or so before Wednesday, just drive like a granny till then I guess.

Hi, My wheel bearing is making a sound, and is getting slowly worse. Earliest time I can get it into the garage is next wednesday. I've probably done around 40 miles with it making a noise already, how long can I drive it for like this? If I drive it too long can I cause any serious damage...

yes the difference is the crossovers. I had the standard ones then changed for the deluxe and there's a noticable difference in sound quality

Was parked up on the main road yesterday, dont know what the area is called.

I know how to bypass the imobiliser on a valver. Its a series of button and pedal presses which will disable it until you get a plip key which will enable it again. Had to do it on mine when I lost my plip key. Not sure if i'm allowed to post it though as its pretty invaluable for a car...

I find PES6 a lot better than PES5, and FIFA gets nowhere near to either. The only downside I find with 6 is that if playing with autoselect it switches players at ridiculous moments. But seeing as some pikey broke in and stole my PS2 on Sunday night its no more Pro evo... :(

thought i'd read around the net about this and this is what ive found... DOT 3, 4, and 5.1 are all hydroscopic its the nature of the fluid. 5.1 is no more hydroscopic than the rest. DOT5.1 doesn't need changing any more often, only after track days etc or if it has boiled. (on the bottle it...
