Did Oulton on Tuesday and going round Shell Oil hairpin if I was 'keeping with the flow of traffic' so to speak I had a clunk noise from my front passenger side about half way round the bend (seems there is a little bump or uneven surface there) now I was wondering what I could do to help the...

Hmm tempted but quite a fair bit of cash too chuck at my track car even if it does loom very nice. Could have my PMS quick shift, EPAS setup, stud conversion and a track day for the same price lol. Still tempted though... all I seem to do is spend lately haha bloody money pit.

Get a black stud kit and do away with the bolts.

I couldn't tell you what I have now as I don't know mate. Was wondering how too find out myself.

What sizes are they for the Clio?

I'm thinking about changing the springs on my BC coil overs (also a set of spanners for adjusting the height too but that's another thread), not sure what they are as i bought the car with them on any idea how you check what they are? Mine has a bit too much roll according to the instructor I...

EPAS all the way. I'm just in the middle of convincing my dad to go half's with me on the conversion and start sourcing parts..

I hate it when you grip it really tight and twist and it's not as tight as you thought and you take the skin off your knuckles lol (that's why i use the little cup thingie) and same as above when putting new one on smear new oil round seal and hand tight with no problems.

In the for sale section and put an add up int he wanted section. Although you may have too sign up to a full membership, only about a tenner for the year but if you save more than that looking for an engine it'll habe paid for itself.

Well @Dr Jekyll I did check on one of the guides on here and it says 10mm hence i was trying to 10mm for a few mins until i worked my way up to the 13mm

I did my oil/filter the other day and for some reason my fuel rail guard nuts were 13mm I tried a 10mm one for ages with no joy and went up to 13mm untill it started too loosen the nuts. And swapped my sump plug for a magnetic one...

That looks pretty rough to start with that ST170 head.

I have a small one strapped to the passenger foot well but its not a proper plumbed in one. My mates been to Spa a couple of times this year in his Mini and he doesn't have a fire extinguisher plumbed in, not sure if he has one strapped in like me I've never noticed.

Have you tried wd40 and leave to soak and then give it a shock with a hammer? Failing that a new bolt can't be expensive.

Looks like a fantastic trip would love to do something like this, I've done South of Italy in a Fiesta van that was a mad week as a support car for a few lads doing a car show there, and done Germany and the Ring over 4 days in an R32 quite a few years back loads of driving not much sightseeing...

Looks very nice in that red. Has a bit of a lexus look now with the sharp lines around the lights.

Nope lol sometimes I wonder how were friends, I looked at a C63 AMG (estate as I think they look better than the saloon) and one mate said why would you buy a 2012 Mercedes when you have a newer 2013 BMW ( I was driving my 125d) and i just wanted to slap him so hard, doesn't help that they all...

Just had my 888 fitted to a spare set of wheels ready for Oulton park on Tuesday. Going too take my Maxogen off later on and see how dirty it is (if I can be bothered lol)

Dropped the oil and put new filter on ready for track day next week and then fitted the spray washer jets. Oh and one of those magnetic sump plugs from Opie.

I have people come up to me all the time asking what my VXR8 is because it has 0 badges on the body just the wheel center caps which are Holden badges. I just says it's a Holden Commodore and get a stranger look, some people say but isn't it a Vauxhall VXR (the seats have the VXR logo on them)...

Cheers @optical I haven't had the case open on the maxogen yet so not sure what the chrome is like (don't know where it is anyway lol) and @na-motorsport do you sell the replacement filters just out of curiosity.

If you sell the cleaning stuff if you can post up a price I would rather buy off a trader on here if not massively expensive. It's mainly a track car so that jdr-2 oil would be fine. Cheers.

Thanks @George@RTR_Parts I have replied to your PM.

Anyone know what is recommended I didn't have any instructions for mine as it was on the car, but heard somewhere you can't just use any old cleaner. I was going too use warm water too clean and just re-oil with one of the recommended oils on the ITG website. Cheers. Stu

Not 100% as I never had a cover on when mine was fitted. But it's a lovely piece of kit. Pms shifter next for me hopefully

I have the PMS kit with brace and could never find any reason to justify the ktec over PMS. Unless Ktec are giving away free stuff lol.

Mines a track car lol that's my excuse. Not sure on OP though haha.

Strange could the hazard switch be playing up I know in my 172 cup it's a little finicky and will come on if I wiggle it ever so slightly, maybe when you brake hard enough the contacts in the switch are touching slightly. A new switch is pretty cheap if you know any one with same car borrow it...

Pic of the car too I really like those little 500 abarths pitty I would look like a sardine in a tin driving one haha.

We should do a group buy lol. And get some RTR stickers for our track cars because racers need sponsor decals haha.
