I have mostly run DS1.11.( They ruined the Alloys.),but am now using Winmax. The 1.11 feel more instant, but the winmax feel more progressive. These are good for road and track, but if you are only running on the road, I would not go this far.

Hi and welcome. Personally I would keep it as it is, it looks a fine car.

Hi Mark, and welcome.Forums are generally a good place to look for a car, as they can be owned by enthusiasts. Plenty of knowledgeable people on here, if help is needed. Good luck with the search.

If you fancy getting away for a few days in N/E Scotland next year, bring wife/partner, kids, stay for a few days, and valet my R26. Just a thought.

Too many mid age teenagers on here, grow up people. Just a minute, how old am I, and what car do I drive?!. ( Pot calling the Kettle black?.) ,or in this day and age, pot calling the kettle any colour, gender you like.

Sold, now have forged R26.

Bad news. Now over 80 years old, I have sold my 250 Engine Clio. Good news. I have purchased my sons Forged R26, running 360BHP, with everything thrown at it, so I will be quicker down the Gemmel straight at Spa!. How I wish I could grow up.

With respect, before you go any further, are you running the Clio Rad, if so, go to the 225 Rad, as its a little larger, and with the 250 engine in mine, I do not suffer any overheating, even on track.I would strongly recommend to check the fan is blowing the right way, mine was sucking air FROM...

Come on a couple of track, don't track it, a lot of people would love to see it. I will run you around in the Meglio.

I greatly admire anyone with the dedication, to bring a car back to life, great work. Try and do some track days/meets next year, I am sure a lot of people would like to see it in the flesh.

I purchased my iPhone outright, and pay £7 a month for the sim, and as I use wifi nearly all the time, I do not need data.

I went from 340 to 312dia. plain disks, withDS1.11 pads. These are used on road and track, hot or cold, no brake judder, or problems. I am either on, or off the brakes, no lingering on the pedal. The one problem?. Its destroyed the alloy wheels.

Keep us informed, looks quite a project.

As I cannot get insurance, I must remember to keep out of your way!.

At 80 years old, I can't get track insurance, but then again, I don't drive over 45mph, as my mum said not to, as I might hurt myself. Next one Anglesey.

I know people are mocking this, but its true, plus, if you fit roof rack and heavy luggage, it lowers the car, thus reducing drag, adding around 27 bhp.( Or it did, when I was 10 years old!.)

Nearly any coolant will be ok.

Meglio cooling, is NOT a Problem. Start with the simple fix problems. Start car, heat up, so fan engages, stand in front with a tissue. Is it sucked towards the car, ( Right.), OR blown away from car?. ( Wrong.} sounds stupid, but mine was, and I believe a couple of others were as well. Cooling...

From where I live, 12 miles into Thurso, turn right, and I am on the 500.

Pioneer/Kenwood and any of the known brands would be ok. I have had subs/EQ/Amps etc in years gone by, but now I use iPhone into usb, so its always charging, and a decent set of wireless buds.

Welcome, plenty of people on here for help and advice, just ask.

Welcome. 71 years old, you are in the flush of youth. I am 80 in July,( Middle aged.) and doing Track day at Anglesey in August. I run an LY Meglio, does Tescos, and track days. Like you, I have long distances to travel to trackways, as I am in the far North of Scotland. Anglesey is around 550...

Welcome. plenty of help/advice available here.

I had similar problem once. Disconnect Battery,leave for 10 minutes.Replace with decent battery in keycard, not cheap ones. Use 2025, but 2032 will also work. Does keycard unlock doors?. If so, unlock, then lock car with keycard 8 times. This reset mine, and had no problems since.

I do not know if the type matters, but using spring washers will help. I am sure someone will be along with some answers.

I am in the Small car, lightweight, big engine camp. Never owned a BMW, but look to be well built, quality machines. Mine is around 1200kg, running 320/340, what do some of these BMW weigh out of interest?.

A lovely read, keep us posted. I live just outside of Thurso, on the moor. Where you live, almost makes you a Southerner!. Get the baby out in the garage now, with hammer and chisel, you cannot start them early enough you know.

I want to remove the Recaros, and fit fibreglass buckets, but ones I have found so far, are too wide/too low,( I am a short little guy!.), and something that will bolt straight in. Anyone want to swap for recaros?. I have been looking for quite a while. Any ideas?.

Quite a few hooks on eBay.

In my 40something, I took up a new hobby, parachuting, and have got replaced hip/thumb/and a few other scars to prove it.For some reason, you cannot solo jump over the age of 58 in this Country, otherwise I would be doing it now , at nearly 80 years old.
