Dreadful work that. Hate these garages that do stuff without consulting the client, especially something as permanent as welding. How these people make a living from it being so unprofessional I'll never know.

Another update. With the trackday on 23rd August booked, it was time to do a few bits to make sure the car was ready. Mostly in the brake area. Brake Callipers rebuilt with Bigg Red Seal kit, painted with high temp silver Aluminium paint Motul RBF 660 brake fluid added Brake ducting added...

That 911 engine at full chat is absolute p**n though. That bit when he's going through the gears and it cuts to the pedal cam, epic.

Love Harris for this reason. He'd be excused for being a snob with the level of stuff he does, but still loves (and buys with his own money!) stuff like this. Legend!

This is why I stick to specialists, do stuff myself, or with a knowledgeable mate. Local garages are just professional bodgers and corner cutters.

Not disputing that at all, no question they're better in bad conditions. But people on here make them out to be lethal, which isn't true.

Must have been all that face bending torque from your Volvo :wink: Fair enough, I managed to keep it on the black stuff or out for 2 years every day with them on without fault anyway. I've used them on track in the pouring rain too and didn't have a particular issue. But that's just my...

Lol ditto. Not sure how fast people want to drive in sketchy conditions, any tyre is sketchy if you're flying along in the rain or snow.

Used to be 180 when I had them, but they've put them up to 200 now. But yeah not as low as trackday tyres, still definitely a fast road/track tyre really.

AD08R's for me. Ran them daily before now and they're sound in the rain, and the best road tyre this side of a semi-slick in the dry. They look amazing too. Only downside of the above is the lower treadwear of 200, as opposed to around 300 with your regular road tyres. Does mean they wear...

Looks like a Milltek decat to me. That photo makes it look like the wrong decat for the exhaust.

Should've done it yourself, piece of piss!

Yeah literally straight swap. Worth getting a new exhaust fitting kit though that goes between the decat and manifold to prevent any blows. This is the fitting kit: http://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/product/renault-clio-172182-exhaust-fitting-kit-front-to-manifold/

That could be tricky if the heat shield is on. If the heat shield is on, he'll need to get the O/S front wheel off and look through there.

Yep as Bloke says, sounds like the exiter wire on the starter. Had murder with mine before I changed my starter motor to a Bosch one where the design of the spade connector means the connector can't move under vibration.

Ah cheers mate! I'll drop Sion a message and see if he does, fingers crossed.

I've been thinking about getting one for a while actually too. We'll see!

Cheers mate, I think it may just be a case of buying all of them when some come up anyway really since they're always sold as a complete set of pipes, so I've pretty much answered my own question there haha!

Anyone know what pipe it would be?

Lucky it didn't hit the car itself, have to be close to hit a wing mirror.

I don't know about anywhere else, but the Fiesta STs get stolen for fun around here. Have to get a proper disklok.

Monaco has really grown on me seeing this, used to hate it.

Yup! 8/8 is great, soft enough for road on soft, then hard is great on track. I'd say it's the sweet spot for a compromise between the two.

I'm going to have to give it a miss, need to get some stuff done on the car while the weather's good. Hope it goes well!

Ah fair enough! Any ideas what pipe I'm looking for anyone?

I see! So if that has happened it's just a case of doing it twice so the refrigerant gets rid of the moisture first time round?

Epic battle. NEED to do Cadwell at some point too.

My air con hasn't worked since I got the car, and when it went in for some work at a specialist at the start of the year he mentioned one of the air con pipes being snapped. Thought I'd look into it at some later date, had bigger fish to fry with the car at that point. A few months back I went...

I agree with Chris. DC2 FTW.

Will consider it, appreciate the tag! Depends if I'm mending my car or not, planning on doing some stuff on either 12th or 13th. Will let you know.
