    Always use Type D Coolant...!

    My mate has been running it in his track car for about 3/4 years and it seems brilliant. Can open the lid of the expansion bottle after 30 minutes on track and it’s nowhere near as hot as normal coolant.

    Engine Bay Painting - Best Method?

    Vapor Blasting imo. There is a guy on here that does to an extremely good standard.

    Always use Type D Coolant...!

    If you don’t and you fill your 172/182 with generic red coolant, it reacts badly with the OE Type D.... 🤦‍♂️

    Cleaning mouldy seats

    bucket of hot water, as hot as your hands can take. Half a bottle of Miltons baby sterilising fluid. Couple of clean microfibers and wipe, rinse cloth, wipe, rinse cloth, etc etc. They'll be like brand new and smell lush.

    Leather Protection

    Search “leather repair company” on google. They sell/promote some awesome kits. A lad that details on FB that I follow swears by them and his before/after shots are epic.

    My first yellow car - Leon FR

    Spray Tar and glue remover over the wheels, leave for 15 minutes, pressure wash off. It’s the easiest pain free way to remove plasti-dip. (I used to valet a car for a guy that did it for a living) Oh, and yellow cars are hella-gay!

    Toyota Soarer ( JDM goodness)

    I love these. I’m not usually a fan of Jap crap but I could quite easily smoke that bad boy around. (Is it not super rare in a manual? Apologies, I have no knowledge of them)

    Would you buy this track prep 192?

    I've been doing track days for 15+ years and have a big circle of friends that do it too. Im yet to find someone that's bought a 'Track prepped' car and not had to fix umpteen bodges inside and out. Buying someone else's headache if you ask me. I once went to view a 'Track 172 Cup' off this...

    E36 - Budget Project Car

    Ahhh, I see. There's a few different engine variants on the 1800. Majority are Timing chain iirc, with the earlier ones Belt. I just assumed they were all Belt.

    First track day advice for a 182

    Get new brake fluid flushed through, take a tyre pressure gauge and a pump, a pack of cable ties, a Stanley knife and a trolley jack/wheel brace and a 10/13 mm spanner. Been doing track days for 20 years and never needed anything more. Most fun I’ve had was in a standard 115bhp MX5 At Combe...

    Impulse buy of 2020

    It's nice but I do think these look much better when they're a bit lairy. Bigger spoiler, bigger wheels etc. Lovely power though, the sweet spot for these I think. Quick enough to enjoy, not mental enough to die.

    Towing car capacities and driving to races

    Can you not get a van for a company Vehicle? Less company car Tax, bigger towing capacity, Your employer can claim all the VAT back too. Something like a Citroen Dispatch, Transit Connect etc will tow a clio and a trailer and you van get them in a 5 seater variant. Bloody comfy and well...

    Winter 2019 Dirty Car Thread (maybe competition)

    I do a 60 mile a day commute, 50% lanes and 50% motorway, 6/7 days a week plus whatever I do on evenings etc and my car hasn’t been washed since about August. It’s still as clean as a whistle. Where do you buggers drive to get so dirty!?
