Maybe a charged and diff'd ep3? Still a car that's on my bucket list to own. Or what about a 250 cup...

If its the box again just strip for parts and get something else. Like yourself I loved mine but it was just a money pit in the end and had to go as I was sick of throwing money and time into it and I become bitter towards it. If something minor like James mentioned above then crack on and...

Never owned a decent RWD motor (don't count the i3 as RWD as it had more aids than Africa) but it's something that is defo on the horizon. First port of call would be a skid pan day to learn the limits and be able to control it on the limit. As mentioned above FWD there is always a get out of...

Probably whoever put in the cheapest tender price at the time, could be 1 of 20 manufacturers but you'd never know as they'd be Renault stamped. Just purchase a set of performance after market springs as they'd be cheaper than an OE blueprint set.

Yeah I wouldn't bother telling your insurance as it will probably cost you over £100 a day and the car just isn't worth that much if you bin it. Just strip for parts and buy another. Oh and get yourself AA cover as in my experience they will collect you from track if it goes t*ts up.

Looks decent that and is local to me. Think it would be tough punting that on with that many miles though. I'd prefer a lower mileage pre facelift if in the market.

As above just track the 1.2. Start of with taster sessions to give the car a shakedown to see what it needs (tyres, brakes, dampers springs, bushes etc) and 100% pay for a session of tuition as at 17 this will be invaluable for you to get the best from the car and yourself. Once you're happy...

Faulty level sensor on the rear beam maybe. Mine used to do it.

Put your postcode below for the nearest hunter system. -0.6 ° toe (negative) each side is decent for road and won't scrub the insides. Your camber could a bit off but as long as it's within -0.5 each side it's not to bad. If more get camber bolts and realign it...

Tried and failed to replace side lights on the Octavia. c**t of a job!

Just pull the sill covers off and have a poke around with a screw driver, should be apparent if its rusted badly. Presume its just a track car going off your avatar?

Its just surface rust on the disc/pad from rain, my old Clio and current Octavia does it every time it pisses down then dries up. Nothing to worry about. Just make sure you release it gently as it can knacker the pads especially if track rated pads.

Don't have an issue with mine being resistive. Let's just say it's not worth the additional £££ just to use your finger. Dan come and have a gander at mine if you're still not sure on the 8700.

Get it ordered Dan, saying that I sat in silence this morning for near 2 hours of rush hour traffic as 02 is down and the radio doesn't work on the unit. Got to know every squeak and rattle of the Skoda ...

We fitted the JB4 to my mates car on our dinner,really is a piece of piss.

Supertraker is also very good, although it gives toe in mm not degrees like hunter.

P-Zero's its on.

Having spoken to my mate in work yesterday with a JB4'd M135i he says they are utterly useless in this cold, wet weather, even at quarter throttle the car is all over the place. From a standing start in similar conditions he said you cannot get any traction what so ever and it just snakes about...

Fresh cup dampers, RARB, pair of camber bolts for the front and get it hunter/supertracker aligned. I ran Apex springs for around 10 track days and 2k road miles and they were decent, didn't find them overly firm for the road and being linear in design decent on track.

I've emailed Javelin to see what discount they can offer. I stated it would be a track in the middle of the country like Oulton, Donington or Cadwell so it's fair for all members. Also stated it would be either early spring or late Autumn so not to clash with CSF. If anyone is interested I'll...

That's a great idea, Javelin do discount on 'bulk buys' 15% off for spending £2000. Bet they'd do more for £5000 spend.

Plenty VPN's on google play store...

Very cool! Did you get it on the scales at Oulton?

Have you check the vac pipe coming from the servo isn't kinked behind the engine, they can even melt...

There's worse things to spend your money on. I wouldn't strip it back to its shell or rewire the whole car personally as it's just not worth the cost and hastle. I'd make sure the chassis is sound, sort the rust on the body and do the rest you mentioned.

Could be a bargain for someone these... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DUNLOP-TYRES-03G-195-50-15-X-4/153270530169?hash=item23afa2b079:g:edYAAOSwabRb9Vl-:rk:3:pf:0

Falken tyres have got better and better over the last 10 years so expect the ZE310 to be decent as per the below reviews. I've got FK510 on the ST and they are fantastic for £60 a tyre in 225/40/18. http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Falken/ZIEX-ZE310-EcoRun.htm

They already have a 200cel sports cat as standard, no point going 100cel for the money they cost. Get group n timing instead as this will give real gains.

That sounds like something has snapped, whatever it is it should be easy enough the detect.
