Looks tidy :)

Less Nob, more Knob! https://cliosport.net/threads/renaultsport-clio-gear-knob-swap-how-to.827560/

Excellent update as usual. You’ll love the BTM I think mate. I bought mine new from Fred back in the day, and although it was significantly more expensive than the other offerings at the time, I think it was well worth it. Looks like that one has a resonator in too, which will help keeping the...

Hubs progressing. All parts that required glass blast have been blasted. I was let to believe the bearings in them were almost new, and they probably were. However due to the corrosion i decided to replace them anyway. Glad i did as they were stuck in pretty damn tight and took a good 16 ton...

Not a peep mate. Just hear them click when going in reverse as you apply the brakes and they move in the carriers. Generally in my experience, if brakes squeal, they're not being used hard enough.

Wouldn't worry Stu, Just make sure you leave the shims out to allow the pads some room to move under expansion.

Blue point is Laser/Sealey quality though so not comparible to Snap On IME. Even some of the Draper expert stuff is nicer IMO, especially their impact range.

I would suggest you haven't bought anything from Snap On recently. The Halfords stuff is superb quality for the money. Go price up the same things from Snap On and see how much more expensive it is. Ive been buying Snap On for over 25 years now and if i was starting again, id have no...

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttt! Bro that's mega, please can i have a set :D

Working I’m afraid guys but thanks for the tag @MrBlonde

Needs to be lower Rob. 😅👌🏼

I retained the grommets on my install as they actually locate the hardware properly. My seat sits more than low enough now so the couple of mm the grommets made was negligible.

Quiet most of the time with no drone and enough sporty notes when you’re on it. For a daily driver, it’s pretty much perfect.

BTM/Yozzasport catback with oem cat in place.

Let the fun commence :)

Haven’t had any time on the car lately due to other commitments but have at least started the strip down and clean up of the roll centre hubs. I’ve all new bearings and rose joints to fit when they’re reassembled. The plan is to get them fully stripped, blasted and plated before fitting.

Amazing you mention Road Rat, i was just putting their subscription in a shopping cart. I've seen it advertised but not yet signed up and was wondering if it was worth it. the first 4 issues i can buy as a back date for £50 plus £40 for a new subscription, so that's £90 on print i haven't yet...

Love reading things in print, i find its a much nicer experience than that of reading a screen.

Agreed. IMO the best one is when they talk to David Clark, (Chap who sold the McLaren F1 when new). This guy is cooler than a polar bears ball bag! Absolute hero. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6zBryk92Es

Still an EVO subscriber and have been for donkeys years. (i don't know what to do with them all now lol) :D For those interested in the Collecting Cars podcasts, they're available on YouTube :) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTBpuYRzqvJjNKzJ7SzcYpw

Agree, all the Collecting Cars podcasts are excellent (except the one with the influencer t**t) lol

Harry founded EVO mag, founded it in 1998 with a few of the old crew, Dickie Meaden, Steve Sutcliffe etc. Sold out around 2012 to go and work at JLR.

CTek MXS 5.0.

That's Harrys Trophy. God that f'king Mini GP!! Shitbox!!

That's the spirit :D

Its not cheap but worth it Mark, You'll use it on all sorts, im gonna cake my ASTs in it before the jackets go on. :)

You’ll probably find that if you’re using a wheel cleaning product such as billberry or similar, that will be stripping the protection from the ends of the studs. So they may need a little spray after every wheel wash.

ACF50 and an old small detailing brush dude. If you’ve not used it before, it’s like a medium viscosity purple oil. I find it easiest to spray a little on a brush and brush it on. gives you more control with it. Id be tempted to take the A1T items once off to have them zinc coated or black...

Superb job fella. Congratulations on a superb end result, a real credit to all your hard work. Enjoy. 🙂👍🏼
