So my engine failed when out on track at Thruxton, back in September. I've since replaced the engine and had the old one laying around but today i opened it up to see the full internal damage Safe to say the engine is now scrap metal! The car has been running a pop's and bang's map for a...

Do you know where to put the lube though Rob

The alternative to Nikon is Canon but the choice is yours, they will both capture whatever you point them at. Once you commit to either brand and purchase additional kit like lenses or flash lights, your want to stay with that make as most of the kit is not interchangeable. Its like apple and...

Looking forward to that then

So i was having a great time at Thruxton Race Circuit until the engine went pop in the afternoon and i had to be recovered home I then spotted some shiny bits of metal sitting in my exhaust pipes I've yet to open up the engine but i'm fully expecting to find a missing piston.

I'll second the alternator is possibly faulty resulting in the car looking to get it's electricity from the battery instead but of course that has a limited supply which has probably run out

What @JAParker said really. Had to guestimate where to cut the bumper but otherwise fairly straight forward.

Sort of looks matte silver in this picture, and i kind of like it IMG_3599 by Matt Walker, on Flickr

Top service from @George@RTR_Parts Thank you!!

Recent visit to Scotland i took this while fishing, It's a HDR image and not something that many people like. Probably due to the fake, over processed look of them. my visit to scotland by Kris Hulcoop-Allen, on Flickr

Depending on your mechanical skill level will depend on what checks you can carry out. First and easiest thing to check for would be air leaks

I have the same issue. Bit naughty but i just keep changing them under warranty. I've seen this kit by Pure Motorpsort http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/details.php?itemid=330&model=6

Even once you have made your choice of exhaust, consider the exhaust mounts as worn out mounts will cause the best of exhaust systems to fit poorly. I have a Janspeed system with a silenced de-cat and that produces under 90 DB with no raspy sounds, with a straight through de-cat it was raspy...

Long term i think i will end up with some light weight 15" rims. For now though i can run road tyres and track tyres. Wish i had towing on licence!!!!

Got the blue rims fitted with my Nankang NS-ZR track tyres last night along with the new tow straps. For me personally it works and nice to see some colour on an otherwise boring silver car.

I would suggest its over fueling - Generally speaking weak defective cat's effect mainly the CO reading only.

Got a pair of Sabelt tow straps delivered today that match the harnesses

I bought a book series written bu Scott Kelby and really learnt alot from them. But i learnt more from putting the theory into practice and cocking it all up.

Been fine tuning my bucket seat and harness setup ready for Thruxton next month. I added in a seat runner which raised the seat but now have it to my liking.

Got some cheap 172 rims to use as spares for trackdays and thought id give them a little repaint before wrapping them in rubber

Stick the kettle on, make a brew and book a track day.

Such a difference, almost a different image

Looked really good quality and looks the part fitted too. How many horsepowers does the flocking add?

There is definitely something very pleasing about opening up a fresh RAW file ready for editing

I'll often chop and change shooting between JPEG and RAW depending on what i'm going to be doing with the images. I find if i shoot RAW all the time i'll up fannying about editing images that aren't that significant.

I should probably update the Clio's progress.
