Unexpected spot on my holiday. For a wave from the owner, anyone on here? I was in the red Peugeot 208 GTI.

I’ve got a standard road car too, another, identical 182 Cup in fact (which I need to sell at some point). That’s what’s making me question the track car. It was a big chunk of money to build the first time and although it was great on track and would be again, it was awful on the road so it has...

Hello guys, it’s been a while since I’ve been on here but I thought it was probably the best place to get some decent advice. A good few years ago, I built a track car, which turned into a race car, got damaged and I planned to re-shell. I bought the replacement car quite a long time ago and...

Jacked it up today to check everything over, nothing seems particularly untoward except there is a tiny bit of play if I hold the wheels at 3/9 o’clock and wiggle them. What I think is happening is the wheels are pointing the right way most of the time but under acceleration they toe out which...

Nah, pretty sure it’s not the camber of the road, it’s also fine on rutted dual carriageway, it’s literally only with a bit of left lock on when going straight over a roundabout back on to the main bit of the road.

I’ll check the tyres but I’m pretty sure they’re right, good idea though. I’ll Jack it up tomorrow too and see if there’s anything obviously with play in, hoping it’s not the rack, that’d be a pain!

Drove my Clio today, in the rain, and when coming off roundabouts with any sort of throttle (I mean at all, not just full throttle), the steering wheel pulls to the left and the car under steers like crazy, almost as if the tyres are bald. The tyres are fine, decent tread on them and pressures...

I had one on the car before but it’s installation was a little bit untidy, just a 13 row oil cooler under the front bumper crash bar with rubber hoses to the low pressure side of the rack and the PAS reservoir, worked well and stopped the fluid boiling over but looked terrible. This time round...

No, never. Not in a million years. Racing in itself isn’t that expensive but when it goes wrong it goes really wrong and then it’s a lot of money which you need to spend right away. Just track days for me!

PMS shifter ordered, wanted one before but never got round to it so now is the time. I’m pretty certain that’s all I’ll need other than some consumable bits like brake fluid so it should be pretty easy from here on.

Thanks for all the replies guys, I’ve got one ordered now, sold me old cheap runabout so this is effectively free (good old man maths!)

Looking for first hand experience only really, as I’m considering buying one but want honest user opinions... I’ve seen a couple of people complain about extra noise in the cabin but I’m not at all fussed by that. What I really want to know is if the lack of a return spring on the shifter to...
