Yes it was rather embarrassing :o
If you hear of one let me know!
Good to hear it isn't long now, just in time for the lovely British winter ;) that's a shame reference Bedford, would've been good to see the Trophy :(
Good to hear Andrew, still on the lookout for a Phase 1 head!
Looking forward to seeing a picture of your engine bay soon mate! Not long now is it? And cheers Andy I really enjoyed it after all the upgrades, makes it all worthwhile :) looking to do the season opener in Feb as well.
Some pics...
So I attempted some fast driving around Bedford Autodrome GT circuit again on Saturday
The little Clio did exceptionally well and even made me look like I knew what I was doing behind the wheel :p the wet conditions just played into the Clio's favour and it managed to hold its own against a lot...
For ease I'd say number 1. Probably going to be a few quid to do number 3 once you've bought the bias valve and lines etc. then you've still got to work out fitting. Effort!
And that's very handy to know, I didn't think they could get things like that !
1. or 3. Do you track it?
And iirc Feirny works for ECP... Did he get you the Pagid Blue's through them? I'm in the motor trade so could be handy to know if they can get bits like that :)
Yesterday, but gave it s**t round Bedford Autodrome :)
Showed up a lot of faster and more expensive machinery in the wet! Very happy with it after the work it's had :)
Got a knock when I come OFF the brakes?! Very confusing as everything is tight, no play in the wishbone bushes (powerflex black series) and I'm pretty confident it's not the exhaust on the subframe
Any ideas?
Yes that's with Eibach camber bolts. Tbh the camber I'm happy with regarding performance and tyre wear.
I hear what you're saying on the toes. Might go down to 0.2 degrees with that then
Cheers for the info jezcharger. Think I'm happy with the camber as it is then :)

Couple of questions regarding the figures...
1. Is 0.5 degrees toe out too much? I want some turn in which it has but don't want to knacker tyres
2. Again camber is -1.5 degrees. Too much? Feels good though
3. Notice I have to hold the steering wheel slightly...
Just got the alignment done at Merityre... Handles like it's on rails now :) quick trip through the business park on the way home and the front stayed planted so very happy with how it feels just now.
Here's the printout:

New clutch and new clutch cable, thought it wasn't even attached!
There's a new cable design btw, more weights on it to assist the clutch movement. Nice and light :)
I put mine on a few weeks ago and fitted them with the writing the right way up so you can read them as you look at them from the back of the car. Can't say I actually noticed a white mark tbh!
Cheers Martin :)
Certainly a few bits to be getting on with and somewhere between doing all those jobs I need to finish rubbing down my Cup wheels and respray those so I've got something to drive up to Bedford on!
Nothing much to report this weekend, jut started it yesterday to charge the...
Good news on the rods Andy. At the end of the day you want everything perfect so it's worth waiting for the perfect parts
PEC rods to begin with was it?
Cheers for the help guys
Think I'm going for the EZ detail large brush and the Raceglaze supersize detailing brush as they're both on polished bliss :)
I get what you mean ref. the AF brush.
So would you say the large EZ wheel brush and the VP black would be a good mix between surface area and intricate details or would the smaller EZ brush be fine?
Saw those RyG but to be honest they're a bit more than I want to spend!
Are they both on Polished Bliss Gally? And have you got any experience of the AF hog hair brushes, need a new set of detail brushes for the tighter areas.
