I used to be a big fan of the A050's until I used the 52s. My first outing was at Cadwell and i hadn't adjusted tyre pressures and camber, resulting in this. That's one trackday. They don't have a reinforced carcass like the 50's so as soon as they hit the wear indicators, they fall to bits. I...

Good shout, won't hurt to try a few of those.

What @Iranian Pudding said 😆

Mine sit outside under a soft all-weather cover, so the garage is probably better My routine for the last 5 years: Run the fuel down Pick a nice day in October Whip wheels off Give the underneath/inside arches a good clean/degrease Touch up any underseal/paint Hit it with BH Atom-Mac and...

Lovely motor, although those rusty brackets under the bonnet are playing havoc with my OCD 😂

Is that the Borg & Beck sensor from my link - 8200671279 ?

Doesn’t sound that bad tbh. I was expecting and have heard a lot worse. Timing and a good map will sort.

Deep pockets eh?

Damn, I need a decent boot mat for mine and noticed yours was in really good nick 😂 Joking aside, good to see it's not mangled and should be back better than ever.

Oh I've no doubt the issues are there, like you, I read about them every day. As I said above a lack of genuine parts doesn't help. But you only get half a story most of the time at best. If I'd had read these forums prior to buying mine, I probably wouldn't have 😂 Apparently they all leak...

Strange you say that Russ as I've never had an issue with any of my 3 with those components. I'm on 40,000 miles with the BG on the same injectors and never replaced a Lambda sensor. Before I mapped the track car at EFI, I asked Chris if I should change the injectors before the map and in his...

How lumpy? Got a video? I've had 3 Clio Sport 182's - still have 2 of them - and they're all like sowing machines from cold and at idle. Here's a video of one of them. Stock map, correctly timed by a reputable garage, genuine parts. Just how they were meant to sound from the factory. I had...

As above, thicker oil isn't going to help with wear and tear. I'd just keep changing it regularly. I mean you've got to 166,000 miles, so you're doing something right 😊 Mine's on 137,000 now and was thinking of getting a refresh when the belts are due in January. Always good to have some...

I've literally just fixed my 182 with this issue. Replaced it with this - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184783904206 and it's gold

Maybe. I pulled out of my road onto the main road after a long queue had formed and a driver flashed me to say he was letting me out. I eased forward, looked left, and then went to pull out and crunch. A woman decided she didn't want to wait so overtook the standing traffic and was on the...

Yeah, I'm surprised we haven't seen more accidents there. A witness said the cyclist had his head down and was properly giving it some welly. The customer didn't even see the bike until he was in his lap, which was part of the reason he was at fault. I hope you get it sorted. Stressful times!

I'm totally out of touch with all the new road laws having passed my test 4 decades ago. Things that seem like common sense are all over the place now when it comes to dealing with two-wheeled vehicles. Case in point below. A customer turned left into the dealership (white car) as indicated by...

I'm toying with the idea of building another track car, but not a race car this time. Something I can drive daily and then nip over to Croft and have a blast. ASTs are on my list so would you say they're going to be gentle enough on my spine on my daily drive to Darlington? The Spax uprated...

It is very addictive. I'm certainly missing the Trackday scene too much so going to build a more capable track/road-going version for that. If you need any help, just drop me a message.
