    Lower cost go pro alternative

    A 32gb (class 10) card gives around 4.5 hours of recording at 1080, also the batteries only last around 1.5 hours so having it plugged in would be your best bet doing that long of a stint. The SJ4000 comes with loads of different holders for internal mounting but I went with the below and its...

    Clio RS250ish

    Sure I seen you at Aintree a few months ago and Oulton in April? This will be a beast when finished!!!

    New car....Megane 225

    Very nice mate, seen that when it was up for sale here and was tempted. Know what you mean about the Clio, they're terrible as a daily.

    How do you check aux belt?

    Changing springs on 182

    I tried this at the weekend, couldn't undo the front top mounts even with a drop head spanner and allen key. Looks like a job for the garage to undo them as above.

    What in-car phone holders / setups do people use?

    I spent lots of time and money finding the right holder over the years and finally got this which is brilliant, had it 2 years and still going strong. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008RP33WC/?tag=cliospnet01-21

    Budget-ish Tyres?

    Good choice, as above had them on my old D5 and was more than happy with them, and they wear very well.

    Bit disappointed with my CL5+ pads...

    Cheers mate, does the braking efficiency lower with yours when really, really pushed?

    Bit disappointed with my CL5+ pads...

    I'll pull the pads as they could be glazed and i'll put some ATE TYP200 fluid and braded lines on to see if this helps. I can literally hit the stopper on the pedal at high speeds with no sign of ABS which isn't right, but they're great when cold/warm, weird one.

    Bit disappointed with my CL5+ pads...

    I'm finding the braking friction reduces quite quickly on the road when really, really pushed so not holding out much hope on track TBH. Don't get me wrong they still work when red hot just don't pull your face off like when they're cold/warm, I'd say the braking power reduces by 30% when really...

    The wife's new daily/family bus. Volvo content <3

    I loved my old D5, horrendous colour in burgundy but is still in my top 3 cars over stuff of similar age and shape like the MPS6 and ST220... they're not quick but just satisfying if that makes sense, think its the comfort and the waftability of them. Easy to work on as well.

    Can brakes need re-bedding after being stood for a while?

    Just picked the car up after 4 weeks of being stored and after a quick blast the brakes fully faded and where smoking like they where new. I'm hoping that the discs have just oxidised and its just burning it of, but after 10 minutes of cooling them down on the move they where still awful. They...

    R888's behavior with low tread?

    Got a set on my OZ/Sparco 15"s with around 1mm left on them and was wandering should I bin them and fit my nearly new R888's or will they do 1 more track day at Oulton? Only ever really used them with sufficient tread and don't want to ruin my track day if they're not gonna be up to the day.

    Life expectancy 182 engines

    I purchased my 182 FF on 100k miles in January with only recent service history (2 years worth) as the previous owner supposedly lost it, and no proof of the belts being done either even though on inspecting the cam/aux belts they looked brand new. Its been thrashed around now for 7 months doing...

    Good shout, mine are 225/40/18 on the mondy and I put 40psi in and they're fine, could even take more TBH.

    Budget-ish Tyres?

    I had the effecientgrip performance on my old heavy remapped S60 D5 and they where great, bit soft but so are the f1's and they worn well.

    Head gasket change

    Of topic slightly here but can you just drop a 172 engine into a 182 and change the header and remap for the extra 10hp?

    Budget-ish Tyres?

    I had a very bad experience with f1's from blackcircles where they fell apart on the outer edge after 2k miles of normal road driving, got replacements after a lot of toing and froing with blackcircles/Goodyear and the replacements where also naff (same manufacturing date) so binned them after...

    Track seats for the bigger chap?

    They look ace but not sure his arse will fit. Is there any flex to squeeze in or are they fully rigid?

    Track seats for the bigger chap?

    Ok so I've got the 182 as a road legal track car and my mate who pretty much drives it half the time on track anyway wants to throw in and go half on the car so shared ownership, makes sense instead of me paying for it and it'll give me £800 back (half the purchase price) and then 50/50 on...
