    Anti roll bars

    I don't get any rubbing on my BC but has just started bottoming out a little at Oulton last week. On shell oil hairpin but never done it before I had the PMS top mounts and brace fitted and ran 888 for the first time. Didn't get it with the Michelin PS3.

I'm not really clued up on setting up a car for...

    Brembo Max Grooved vs Brembo HC

    Went for some Brembo HC and the OEM spec Brembo pads saves my RC6 for the track and hopefully won't have any sqeaul when I'm stopping lol. Only thing I did when putting pads on was pop those butterfly things off the back of the pad (seen this done a few times not sure why but was in sheep mode...

    Fancied doing a DIY refurb, How do I get the powdercoat off wheels?

    That's what I was thinking of @Daniel if the DIY option wasn't going too be a)simple enough and b)cost effective Who's bbest too use for postage and is it just chuck them on a pallet and send (obviously I would ring them first lol)

    Fancied doing a DIY refurb, How do I get the powdercoat off wheels?

    They are heavily coated in brake dust so and it doesn't wash off or scrub clean (I've tried lol) so depends if they can be sanded and painted over if it will react with the brake dust.

    Chucked some OEM brembo pads in to save the CL RC6 I have for track and to help with the nipping too the shops because the RC6 squeal like a MoFo. And took my ITG Maxogen too bits to clean the filter, left it on the workbench in my shed too dry as it was still damp after 2 hours lol hopefully be...

    Newbie - Heavily modified ph1 172

    Lovely car, Although i was reading somewhere the other day that the wing back style buckets are not allowed on the ring (how true I'm not sure), might just be on TF days and might be fine if its a track day your doing. Might be worth checking saves you any hassle when you get there. But looks...

    Fancied doing a DIY refurb, How do I get the powdercoat off wheels?

    As title really how do I remove the powder coat from my 2118's that I STUPIDLY had powder coated white for my track car (I know, I know lol) they are looking VERY sorry for themselves now so I thought why not just try a DIY refurb and if they look crap well I can run them for another year and...

    What BC Coilover spring rate to go for in a Stripped out 172?

    Would also be interested in knowing what springs would be best for my 172 (track car) if i need to order some, would the above same as Trackslag172 going for a 8kg front and 11kg rear be the better option?, I'm hopefully going to try and find out what rate the springs are on mine on Monday when...

    Suspension possibly bottoming out.

    Just read this on the BC website with regards to ride height with the BC, Not sure if too low though and it'll just be the bumper/bodywork hitting the ground lol I know I don't want it silly low for track anyway. 'Because ride height is determined by an adjustable bottom mount rather than...

    Suspension possibly bottoming out.

    Cheers for the Info Steven, @bloke is the pre-load set on the top collar on the BC's? I'm assuming the dials on top of the coil over that come through the top mounts is the damping? Might have a look when I call over on Monday if you don't mind.

    Suspension possibly bottoming out.

    My BC's were already fitted too the car when I bought it @Steven103 so not sure on the packers. I have had a look round to see if anything was loose and didn't notice anything.
