My stupid '2ton' jack that struggles to lift a 1 ton car slipped off the forum recommended jacking point on the front of the car today (the box section about 10inchs in from the sides). Basically it somehow slipped onto the flat underside bit of metal whilst being 90% jacked up. I was expecting...

I suppose it has to be towed as it no longer road legal (i.e lights removed etc)?

if its poping and its completely standard, then you are damaging your cat so you will want to get it sorted asap. It could be that the cat has already been damaged, disintegrated, and now you effectively have a decat.

I personally went for the FF as its not just a weekend toy. I use the Ac to demist the windows quickly. I use the cruse control most of the time as I travel on a lot of A roads. I love the automatic headlights and windscreen wipers. I like the half leather seats. I would miss all these in a cup...

lol

i'm just looking for the laughs :) We decided then that Plymouth will be fine for this event? Would be nice to organise a airstrip for a day this year; setup a time attack on it and run some drag races :p

I don't think I would be doing anything to it until it was loosing power. Just keep it topped up with oil.

sorry just realised its a 172 not a 182! What I have said is probably irrelevant.

No cup packs? If not, you might have to change the hubs if you want the cup suspension due to bolt spacing differences.

can you not just replace the rings form the sump end with the engine in place? Mind you, if the bore is damaged, there will be little point doing so...

depends if RS Tuning have protected the map, if not, you can make a backup of your current ECU firmware and cal before flashing Hanks maps. If you mean 'how do I get my car back to the standard 182 map first', you use a OEM .rst file which you can either get form Henk or form someone on here...

that's normal on the standard cold map. It will pop if you have a decat. Map it with fastchips RSTuner for better cold behaviour + increased performance. Could be the HT leads/coilpack. Also try giving the throttle body a clean with some carb cleaner (on the inside, not the outside!). The three...

that's 100% normal. As you rev it, the water pump goes faster thus more movement is seen in the header tank. If its a Renault (you profile suggests you have an evo not a clio), make sure you use the genuine Renault type D coolant. You get it direct from Renault and its pretty cheap. The lifespan...

Re: Battery Flat, Worth attempting to recharge? I also need a recommendation on a too No. My 1.2 has been sitting without a battery for the last 10months. Went to start it last week (put the battery back in) and it started first time! Every time someone does serious work on your car they will...

tbh I think the Plymouth karts will be fine. Its not like we are going there for the formulaX experience, its just for a bit of a laugh! I think your right McGherkin, indoor track is probably slippy as f**k :)

FLOL. I covered mine with a sheet. If yo had read the 3m thread, you would have seen this suggestion many times lol

and its well off location to be combined with a Dartmoor run.

How does Plymouth karting compare to the one in Liskeard? I have been to the one in Liskeard many times and enjoyed it every time. They have an outdoor track with a fast straight and a bunch of challenging corners.

surely it cant be that bad?! After looking on the website, they have SODIKART GT 270cc karts which are pretty fast, and an indoor and outdoor track, I would expect at least one of them to be good enough for a laugh! We can always go and take a look first anyway and if we don't like what we see...

haha sure its not tactics? Let everyone else eat and put on a few pounds to even things out? ;) lol.

I like the sound of option 1 as well. Do we want to do karting before we eat though? So we aren't rushed? Cant wait to go head to head with McGherkin in the karts (what should be for once an evenly matched vehicle); will get to see just how crazy your are behind the wheel :p lol.

good move ;) welcome.

Happy Birthday in advance :) I like the sound of that :) I think it will be hard to pull in anyone from the far east of Devon area, but a few of the non-regulars from Cornwall might be willing as its a bit closer to home than usual.

Re: Battery Flat, Worth attempting to recharge? I also need a recommendation on a too definitely! probably thinks his keys will stop working if he cuts the power for a period of time...

correct provided you don't want anything extra. If your buying it from fastchip direct, then it will come with the stage1 Ron98 map which Henk will probably send you via email. Its fine to use 99Ron fuel. Are you sure he has them in stock? Its very rare that he does! ps. just checked on the...

Re: Battery Flat, Worth attempting to recharge? I also need a recommendation on a too why are you worried about the computer data? I just remove my battery, charge it up and put it back when charged. I think your overthinking it.

It could just be that these ports were active at the time of strike and the switch is damaged on these ports.

Yeah I think i'm free :) How about combining it with something else if the weathers nice? I could meet you guys at the top of Dartmoor (like @ Moretonhampstead), then we could drive back down and across to Liskeard and do some arrive & drive karting?

yep, if you go back to standard, it feels like the car is broken.
