The cooksports are quite firm but think the shocks are becoming the weak point as the tyre is putting more load into it than it was designed to cope with, causing the tyre to do the work. I think you are right with the body roll wearing the edge.

Mine are the plus flush locking ones got them from JJC http://www.jjcraceandrally.com/race/bonnet-pins/aerocatch-bonnet-catches As Martin said don't buy fake ones. As for fitting they are quite easy if you have a dremel or small rotory cutting tool, just take your time and triple check all the...

I am leaning towards suspension as I am on standard shocks and cooksports, just wondering if they are not upto the job? @Tony Hunter you run ASTs don't you? I have watched some videos about weird tyre wear on bikes and it mainly comes down to suspension, rebound damping is a main cause, I may...

Yeah it was fine and that was on a mapped 2.5 5cyl turbo so it produced a fair bit of heat. I would try and use high temp stuff but if you are stuck it works

I have used bathroom silicone on my Focus ST in the past as I run out of high temp stuff and it was fine and that was on for 2 years

May well be, I do run just over 2 deg of negative camber

I have been using the Dunlops for a while now and seem to keep getting a weird wear pattern, where it is creating a staircase type pattern. I run 30psi hot normally but do up the front pressure to 32-34psi hot sometimes as the main loaded tyre begins to roll and wear the edge. Sorry about the...

Have a drive up to Donington on Saturday, there are a few of us from here doing a trackday and have a look.

I know what you mean my Akrapovic on my bike uses the same system but you will need a good fit, don't think the normal tube expander will be good enough, I may be wrong though.

I assume you are going to TIG the pipe together? Try and use V band clamps too as they are much better.

2.5" for N/A and 3"inch for turbo. Pure motorsport use 2.5 on their exhausts.

They look good what size length and width and how thick and how much?

As above go out early in the morning do some good hard stops from 70 ish to 10-20, I did about 7 or 8, it is just a case of getting the brakes hot and transfering the material to the disc, but try and make sure you are near a motorway so you can just get on and drive for about 10 mins without...

Cheers Mark I already have a kit to remove it but going to get an aluminium rad and change that at the same time, dont really need a/c with the roof vent except if you are sitting in traffic. It will not be done now until after Oulton in August just don't have the time.

Thanks, I know track cars do get a bit more of a battering than road cars but I like it looking as good as possible. here's one but loads in my build thread

After changing the brake fluid on Friday from the Rockingham trackday just over a week ago so it is ready for Donington at the weekend I decided to give the track car a machine polish today as there were some fine scratches from using the cover when it is in the garage. I used Meguiars 205 and...

I did Rockingham last Friday here is a video

I have thought of that. Using the silver reflective stuff with velcro so no wires need to be dismantled but it is not cheap, and I just looked at the manifold and wrapping it crossed my mind.

I am thinking of wrapping the manifold but don't want to remove it as it is a pain. I only want to keep the radiant heat away from the coil wires as it is affecting my shift light. Just having a little look I could probably do to the red lines fairly easy with in inlet removed and possible get...

It's amazing how fast they can go round a corner with the aero. Looking forward to having a good look around your car at Oulton Enjoy Anglesey looks like the weather is going to be good

At least they are in the UK so makes it easier to sort, even though it is not ideal.

Cars looking good. Have a little look at my video from Donington last year with some Radicals and V6 cups, they are a nightmare if there are too many (like my day)

Fitting mine tomorrow for Rockingham next week, did you do any bedding in procedure. Don't think they need anything do they like the DS2500's?

Ordered mine on Tuesday 1 car pass and entry ticket, will probably be for my Megane 250 as the Clio will have done Donington the day before

How you finding the RC6 pads?

Know what you mean about the 600's they are hard work. I always wanted a SP1 or 2 love twins and a lot more useable with all the torque

Aprilia shiver 750 had it 6 years now, had a couple of sv650s and a CBR600 over the years. I borrowed a KTM RC8 a while ago for a few days and although it was a good bike it was just not useable at normal speeds. Can't you keep the car and get a older 600?

Be a shame if you did get rid of it after all this work but the BMW is nice. Which one would you get the most use out of, and when did you last ride a bike on the road? I don't like riding on the road now as much as I did (I only done 16 miles from my last MOT to the latest one Saturday)

Keep an eye under the car when you weld it as the under seal will set on fire
