Stuck one of the keyring cameras in a magnetic mount to the underside of my car for a session at Llandow. You can see why it gets a reputation for being hard on tyres! And yes, I know my ARB bushes are shagged and my centre exhaust mount has snapped (again) :p.

Is it just a case of undoing the ARB and pulling it out, or is there other things that need to removed/moved out the way to access them? Check the media section shortly. Its not the best place as you can't see the suspension working much, but it shows the hammering the tyres get at Llandow.

Having stuck a magnetic camera under my car on a track day I can visibly see just how shagged my front ARB bushes are. I assume the wishbone bushes are equally screwed. I've heard changing the ARB bushes can be a complete ball ache to change. What's the easiest way to replace the ARB bushes...

My RSRs are nearing the end of their life and I was simply going to replace with the same, but these look interesting in the "middle ground between R888s and decent road tyres" category. Looking at peoples reviews I don't think they will last as long as my RSRs, which have done 5 track days and...

My ebay Bluetooth OBD2 reader doesn't pick up any faults stored in my ECU, yet my airbag light is on? Are airbag codes like ABS code, in that they are hidden away and unreadable without a CLIP?

My centre exhaust mount is broke again! Before I chuck another flimsy Renault one on again (this will be the 3rd in 4 years), are there any alternatives, preferably solid and not liable to splitting. I wrapped my last one in exhaust wrap and metal cable ties but the saggy exhaust still managed...

I've got a 15 quid wheel from ebay so will fit it and pass with that. It does make a mockery of the MOT process that its so much up to the tester. There were loads of advisories on my last MOT that aren't on this one, yet I havent fixed them. Also, fitting a cage and harnesses does not...

Took it for an MOT. It failed. Replaced oil and filters. Bought it some presents (spacers). Didn't clean it.

As said, cup shocks and springs is better for casual track days. £600 is a lot of track days to blow on coilovers.

The "fitted as original equipment" bit is new. Added in the last 12 months (I think August last year). Most other things don't have the "if it was there when it was new" clause, I.e. fog lights and washers, etc. The joke of it all is, the resisters mean the light is off fine, so I'm going...

So KwikFits interpretation of the MOT rules means after market wheels are a fail as the originally fitted airbag is missing. What's my options. Buy an original wheel and airbag and fit for the MOT? Or is there a presidence I can use? He's gonna finish the MOT, but its a fail regardless.

I've clearly been very lucky! G172, PM inbound.

Good effort.

I've done wing mirror covers in Plastidip and they are fine. I wouldn't want to use it on anything larger than small trim pieces though, especially not a whole car!

Cheers guys. Confirms that I am indeed missing them on both sides! 8 track days and 30k road miles and my wheels haven't fallen off though, so clearly not the major issue people think they are! I will need to grab some, and also some replacement 30mm hub nuts. Where is best to get them from?

Has anyone got any pics of the rear disk spacer? Either fitted or just loose, just so I know what they look like.

I feel like I've just glimpsed into a parallel universe!

I couldn't give it away. Its filthy, split and missing the oil flap.

Haha. I removed mine to check my brake fluid and it's been rolling around in my boot ever since. It does leave the plugs exposed though?

Does it serve any real purpose or can I bin it?

Yeah I think I'm being convinced 10mm flat is the way to go.

The contents being on the floor and not in the bottle, lol. Seems to be less of an issue recently. Ill keep and eye on it.

Rear is stock camber (can't remember what the figures are but it was within the green for the manufacturers defaults when it was last aligned). I run 195 tyres. A 15mm with camber will bring the top of the tyres in to about the same distance as a flat 10mm, won't it? Where should I measure for...

Cheers. And happy post anniversary :)

What is the offset of the Phase 1 F1s?

I've finally found the source of the annoying rattle on my Hero3. Its the WIFI button! Its get just enough movement in it to rattle about. Any suggestions for silencing it?

The wheels look lost in the arches at the moment. 5mm hardly seems worth it. I will be putting 25mm on the front as they are much further in.

As Budgie says, there are no pentagonal bolts in there as standard. All normal bolts.

I have Cup shocks and Sportline springs on my 172 and plan to get some spacers. A couple of questions regarding the rears; Do I go 10mm or 15mm? Will there be rubbing issues with either? I'm using OZ F1 wheels from a phase 1. Do I get camber? I've got a couple of degrees up front, but not sure...
