Lmao. How am I getting the blame for this here? 😂 Looking good dude. Nice to have a play with parts till you get it just how you want it. I’m loving my PMS on mine now. It’s perfect for me.

🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant.

It’s no issue. You can only speak as you find. I’ll just not be rushing back. It’s only a pub at the end of the day and as said, I’ve far far better on my doorstep with no lack of proper metal in attendance.

Turnout was poor. (not the venues fault!) Food took longer to arrive than the drive there, and was basic and tepid when it did. Hardly like they were busy either as it was a ticketed event. So as said, the turnout is nothing to do with them, but the food & drink certainly is. Just see all the...

Not much to update on the little 182. Popped to Caffeine & Machine the other week with friends inc @Dr Jekyll, @MrBlonde & @Ash J. Great day with the company in tow but less said about the actual place the better. Hugely overrated imo and as expected typical Instagram style over substance...

Yeah my guess is theyre they're O.Z, not Comps.

Honestly dont feel the steering has much play in it to be honest. If a solid UJ comes up i'll change it, but im not that fussed at the mo.

Yup, 11mm drill and big b*****d RivNut installer. I used a Cobalt bit but i could have used an 11mm sausage thus is the thickness and integrity of the stock subframe.

Nope thats pretty much it. But the subframe isnt that massive and the sump guard is incredibly rigid as it is. I dont think it needs any swaging personally as its hard alloy and not the usual soft sheet stuff.

Tough one really mate, as new they're quite spendy and i didnt buy it new. If you can pick up a used one and make sure you get it fitting with no fouling then absolutely. Significantly improved front end feel and the obvious protection under the car when pressing on. I haven't caught it yet...

Yes it was made to emulate the S7 and S8 world cars. Came standard on the Prodrive edition STIs. Personally i think these look fantastic. :)

I'd say so James. This is only a 5mm hard alloy plate but the difference with it than without it is markedly noticable.

See no reason why not. Its deffinitely noticable Rob. :)

I found that the transmission was kissing some of the bolt heads that holds the gear selector rod protection piece. I removed one or 2 pieces of hardware in those locations. It has massively reduced the NVH but its still kissing somewhere at full load WOT that i need to investigate. Even with VT...

Most Taxi laps with multiple people in are around the low 8 min mark. That’s quick to those not familiar with the track or the speed available there. However seasoned drivers there with reasonable but not outrageous equipment are around 7:30 pretty regularly. I don’t care who you are, if...

Its an M8 with captive washer, the mount uses common hardware.

Selling for big money now too. I sold all of mine for around £250 a piece inc covers Now the fog covers alone fetch around £300. I still have a full prodrive grille in the garage lol.

Watched this the other night too. I rreally like the Apex guys and watching Robert around there was superb. Im a Porsche fanboy and we can all bang on about GT3s and the like, but the way the BMW M cars cope with the useage there is really impressive. Apart from being on a board in the...

They look great Matt, AR1s will be my next tyre i think. :)

This. Unfortunately you've next to no hope of proving whos at fault. I hate diamond cut wheels for this exact reason. Had my Mini GP wheels done and then put them in the garage till i sold it.

Those wheels are finished with whats known as a "diamond cut face, where the finish is cut back on a lathe to bare aluminium that is then lacquered. Thus giving you the high lustre finish on the face. The clear coat has been punctured and moisture has gotten in to the bare alloy causing it to go...

It ought to be, its doing 33% less work for a start ;)

They have their place... just knowing when they’re required. 😏

The PW TMIC seems to run out of efficiancy around the 430bhp area from what ive seen. As long as the skirt is fitting well from the bonnet scoop it will be fine. You can go FMIC but for that power i probably wouldnt bother unless you have a custom RS500 style one made up. So many of them are...

Had a long love affair with a bugeye STI. Great bit of kit and look better as the years go by.

Nice work chap. Host of nice little but worthy improvements really lift the car. 👍🏼

Had it off again tonight as I had a pair of Ktec/Vibratechnics mounts to fit anyway. Found no witness marks at all on the underside of the sump guard but I did find of the bolts that hold the linkage protection plate was polished on the top. It was just touching the large M12 bolt head that...

I know the difference between something that’s right and wrong though chap, and there was deffo something not quite right. 🙂

Most severe on idle, pulling away at low rpm and oddly increases with low speed steering lock, but i think thats the PAS putting load on the motor to be honest. It feels like ive just put a very very stiff set of engine mounts on. Im gonna have it off again tonight and tripple check for fouling...
