I've got some RC8s to try at Oulton on the 17th, expecting good things from them.

@plees what brakes did you go for after the 1144s you had last year which I remember saying you didn't rate?

Me personally wouldn't be spending £5-6k on a track slag, it doesn't need to be pretty nor super quick. It's all about the fun factor and the 1*2 gives that in abundance. I bought mine for £1500 and have as much fun as anyone out there on track. Here's a couple of videos of mine in pretty much...

I'd look at either a 172 cup or 182 FF, either can be had with belts done for £2-3k with less than 100k miles and a few decent track goodies, like mounts, exhaust, filter, suspension, spare 15" wheels and track tyres, track brakes etc...

Aye seems that way looking at the VOSA rules for Xenons/HIDs. So it's either fit a pair of standard mk2 halogen lights and disconnect the auto levelling system OR fix the issue(s) on the car as it stands.

Will do a test eventually but not this year, so will be insuring the car to get to and from the track.

Not sure many companies do 60mm, maybe APEX/AMAX so try ECP.

My drivers side is pissing about moving up and down and the rear beam sensor looks OK, so to pass an MOT I will need to disconnect them, what's the best way remove the fuse or just unclip from the headlight? I'll get the garage to adjust them manually before testing.

I've got a new set of Mintex OE pads with just bed-in miles (<50) you can have for £15 delivered to UK mainland.

Just had a look at these on the trader and they hold a hefty premium, seems they're a nice investment just like the FRS.

Looks great, what's the difference between these and the R26?

Just gonna have to insure it again, was only £300 last time around.

It's the implications if I binned it...

Well after a misinterpretation of a trailers MAM I'm not legally authorised to trailer my track car as I only have a category B licence. Not only does the combined MAM of car and trailer weigh 4070kg, which is 570kg over the prescribed 3500kg limit on a class B licence, it also seems that I'd...

So the MAM of the trailer is 2600kg not 540kg?

Trailer weighs 540kg (2600kg gross) Tow car weighs 1470kg Clio weighs, around 1050kg (No interior and 1 x Corbeau seat, MSV cage, light weight 15" wheels) I weigh 90kg Spare wheels and tools 80kg max Total 3230kg

Will take the missus then if I ever go.

This is exactly why I'd never do the ring, just not worth the risk. As above hire a trailer and go get the car, you'd be there and back within 24 hours and would cost you a few hundred quid.

Missed out on the 24th of Feb mate as it was fully booked, so went with the novice on the 17th instead.

There's plenty of room to swing it around...

Cheers mate, presume I could just use the plate of my tow car instead of getting one made up?

@Mertin Quick question mate. Would I need some form of fitting kit to attach my number plate to the rear of the trailer, or will it just slide in? Cheers Phil

I've had universal ones in the past with no issues (short term), but as you say you'd never really know how many particles they where letting through without proper testing or long term use. Probably not worth the risk to save £10-15 as you say.

HAHAHA how did you come to that conclusion? In the past I've used cotton (K&N, Jetex, universal), foam (ITG & Pipercross) & dry-flow (AEM fibrous type material) and all do a similar job in reality, some will filter a tad better, others will flow a tad more, and they all sound a little different...

Wouldn't we all...:smile:

Asked that above. I'm just gonna get a cheapo cotton filter from EBay (below) and see if there's any real world difference in performance, I'll let you know...

Bargain basement ECP AMAX springs 🙈

I've got the fatty and it sounds great...

Have you had it Hunter Hawkeye aligned?
