Just ordered a cheapo 2 man tent and double inflatable mattress for the Friday and Saturday camping, cant wait now! Not had a get away since the F1 at Silverstone last year.
This is how mine is anchored down, with a 8.8 tensile hex head which is wider than the schroth bracket hole to start with, then a small m8 stainless washer tight to the thread, then an additional stainless m8 penny washer on top of that.
Have a look under the car passenger side and you'll see towards the front of the car an A shaped piece of metal and underneath that will be a connector for the ABS wiring. The A-frame is roughly around where you'd jack the car up at the front.
I struggle to get the abs the kick in, think it's just the system as I've tried with RC8s on cold road tyres it just used to lock the nearside front. Gonna do a caliper rebuild to see if that helps.
Could be the rings but IME it didn't give out an ABS fault, it just tried to murder me instead as the side with the cracked/worn ring slipped under hard braking causing the wheel to lock up, whist the other wheel engaged the ABS causing the car to swerve to one side.
Get a pic anyway.
Sounds like your brakes are going into fault intermittently, so going from 50/50 bias (weak braking) to normal 90/10 bias or whatever it is (normal braking). This will be electrical, and sounds like a connector issue. Try the connector that sits in the passenger A-Frame first then follow that to...
Yeah the belts need doing so might as well drop some cams in whilst its open, 190 would be nice. After watching @plees go around Oulton with 197 cams its seems they suit the track really well as you get more rpm out of the lower gears for the lower speed corners like Brittens, Knickerbrook and...
Cheers, the rest not to bad to do on your own then? Already got the wishbone bushes inserted in a spare pair of wishbones as I know these can be a pain. The rear beam bushes would seem to be a pain on your own?
Looks great Niall, will be doing exactly the same towards the end of the year and having read all the above will be taking it to Carl to fully poly bush (blacks) track/tie rods, etc and DR's and whilst I'm there gonna get him to do my belts, and fit a set of 197 cams with EFI tuning. Should be a...
Really push the RS3 even in XL and they roll over a piss themselves, very soft sidewall and very soft compound. Decent tyre but there's better overall tyres out there for the money. Had them on my daily derv and as wets on the track Clio.
Have a look on here as its very informative...
The 6MPS pre 2006 are the worst Jap car I've seen for rust, they binned the water based paint off and they where much better, but still suffer on the rear arches and boot lid, the 3MPS is pretty similar the post 2006 6MPS with rusting arches and boot lid, but not to bad TBF.
For the amount of engines produced there have been a hell of a lot of publicised failures, do the maths against something considered unreliable for example the F4R (we know its not but is stereotyped as unreliable...cause reno) but I'd bet the % of engine failures against engines produced the...
If I could go back I would have bought a 172cup over my 182 FF, mainly due to the amount of ABS issues I've had, as well as how rubbish the ABS is when actually working.
