I've seen a few of that Josh Gresswell's videos, he seems a likeable guy and looks like he does alright work. Alex on the other hand comes across as a smug, smarmy little c**t and is immensely unlikeable, to the point where the sight of him is irritating, he's like a poverty Shmee... You...

I find them infuriating, it's like they deliberately go out of their way to ignore the plethora of off the shelf solutions and make things hard for themselves. Yeah feeding solder through a 3d printer and fannying around with Arduinos makes for watchable content but it's proper Heath Robinson...

Spotted on the slip road off the A1 in traffic today, really clean looking 197 on Cup 2 tyres, anyone on here?

I'm really not a fan of those fire stick extinguishers, you have to get pretty close to the fire to smother them and there's no cooling effect either. For occasional track use I'd want a 2.4L AFFF extinguisher as a minimum, for something that's dedicated track use then I'd go plumbed in and...

Got my wheels back from powder coat yesterday, gave them a coat of Gtechniq C5 today so I can get them back on and get the car off axle stands over the weekend. Spare calipers are back from Cerakote too, so I'll get them built back up at some point I've ordered some more new parts too, wheel...

Maybe another 5-10 years? Maybe never.. the 205 is a much better known car, pretty much anyone remotely interested in cars knows what one is, lots of people have no idea what a 172 Cup is.

Been a long time since I've updated this.. I've been away working for most of the year so the Clio has been under a cover getting started occasionally by the Mrs, now I'm back I've got round to fitting the plates I bought last year Other than that I'm just collecting parts at the moment...

Spotted a tidy looking inferno 182 on team valley yesterday, anyone on here?

I had the rear bumper, side strips and door bullets painted on my 172 cup this year, painted off the car so inc labour for removal/refit. £280 all in. I painted most of my bike myself, its no cheaper than paying someone if you've got to buy everything from scratch, once you've got a stock of...

I recognise the username from DucatiForum.. that's a class paint job on the Arai there (y)

nah it won't, I've decided (for now) to use the stock manifold and the miltek DP, keeps it more original and it means I don't have to fabricate a link pipe with a cat in for the 182 manifold

yeah, the original seal was leaking, and so is the TND seal kit.. the box is whining and needs a rebuild anyway, no big deal

7k if it wasn't categorised, 20-30% less for a cat D and 30-40% less for a cat C

Good and bad news.. Bad news, the gearbox is pissing out oil, about 100ml a week, it's got a drip tray under it on the drive at the moment and when you drive it you can smell the drops of gearbox oil presumably being blown off the under tray onto the downpipe/cat and burning off. I've topped...

There's no such thing as a 'cat clean', it's not like a DPF that has a regen cycle. It's a 1.2 Clio, don't waste a penny on it, save up for a 172/182 if you want to stay in a Clio.
