I've had the alignment done my mate works in hiq so got a freebe outta him,, I think it's going to have to be a full new suspension set up the standard ones were replaced by renault @44k according to receipts so now I'm on 88k couldn't hurt ( best get saving) ​

I very much doubt you can ac it'll crack with panel beating tools heat may help it to flex but at the same time you could discolour it and cause it to warp more and look worse... I'd leave it alone or speak to streamline carbon or sebon carbon and see what they can do

I agree with the rake and I am massivly inclined to agree that the spax are the problem I've adjusted the tire pressures and the feel of a loss of control in the understeer is still there I'm going to have to look deeper into the suspension.. What are people running? Coil overs or standard...

Also you might want to check the Cambelt tensioner and talk to some one about the tappets as there adjustable I think ( don't quote me on that ) pm Fred at btm or dan@sjm there both really good

Is there any oil in it? Sounds pretty terminal man like the whole things about to disintegrate I wouldn't drive that give a specialist a shout mate. I had a fiesta sound like that once had no oil in it and I was miles from anywhere drive bout 40miles and with an almighty bang the Conrod came...

I'm not I'm using spax springs as that's what came on the car when I bought it, ( there not the best but there okay ) it still sits raked though I assumed that rear are 35mm and fronts are 40mm however I have no proof of any of this I'm going to be saving for a set of bilstein coilovers but...

I didn't ignore the advice I just asked as its good to know things so then in future I'm not as ignorant and I could help some one else with a similar issue yeh the car is still raked by about 7mm I'd say with out measuring it its fairly obvious by just looking at the car ( not just a slight...

Cheers Fred ill alter it in the morning and have a little tinkle about still if any one on here can comment on these power flex bushes and what brand of top mounts and how they felt after it would be good to know....

what would you recommend ? The garage who done the tyres filled them... I'm unsure what's best on this front as I've heard loads of reviews on the power flex bushings being good.. Is there an upgraded front anti roll bar available ?

I have 205/50/15 falken zex914 tyres with 33 psi in them on 8 inch wide axe 8wheels and there about 1200 miles old... I'd say it was aggressive but I'd still like to see what people are finding to be the best handling upgrades with out spending thousands on the pms wishbones and things that are...

Hi guys and gals been on a few spirited drives today after fitting me white line rarb I've got front and rear strut braces and the cars been lowered around 40mm, now the handling is feeling like a go cart I've noticed the under steer more i was thinking about solid top mounts and power flex...

I agree point for point but then why spend loads of ££ on something that was already fine... I changed mine for a group n exhaust because I love the noise of it " yeh agreed the stealth noise n all that " just can't help but feel a little more noise for 350quid is a massive waste of money there...

Orecas are loud but let's face it what's the f**king point in spending 350 quid on something thts a little louder than standard you could nearly buy cams for that all out or nothing imo want a job doin do it properly :)

Hi there i work for motorworld we sell this product.... Yes I've had loads of customers rave about it and how they got rid of the car for more money etc etc ... I have personal use of this as I used it on my mrs Audi a3 1.6 ..... After it turned to sludge and reuined the thermostat it then set...

I've used dan &sjm josh and he's sound really knows his stuff I had a belt done on mine where the timing was slightly out took it to him to have it all inspected and all that much better now his works good plus bath - glastonburys deffo worth it spesh to know its all done properly :)

Oreca it :) have one and love it :) best 450 quid I've ever spent ....that or buy 45 £10 blow up dolls equally as fun

Had similar issues on the mrs audi a3... we found it to be the head gasket was gone so it was over heating the engine that much its was causing the aluminium to expand and allowing oil past the piston rings into the engine thus burning a liter of oil in 190miles! the coolant never went down...

Really haha Everyone gives me stick about it.... Im interested now to see what other systems are louder??? lol " child at heart here "

Ive Got a full oreca system and its loud like cool loud though sounds like its really going for it " usally when it is " low down under 4k though noise isnt an issue.... I have noticed it almost feels slower with a flat spot low down when you hit the loud pedal hard its fine..... if youre...

Id have thought " puts self at risk of a slaying here " there all the same s**t? if they copy a cars map and send it away to be modified and returned then surely rs tuner bluefin celtic tuning and all them other obd2 maps are going to be similar? obviously a rolling road map is going to be the...

Hi there just wondering if any one on hear near chepstow has an rs tuner and offers a mapping service? I'm after the overrun map but I don't fully understand how I buy it or use it and I'm unhappy to spend 250quid on something that's not straightforward as there is usually a catch. Or can any...

easy car care in chepstow offer a mapping service they use quantum tuning its pretty much the same idea as celtic tuning through obd copy data send off and new map sent back... ive debated weather to try it out or not as i know a few golf gtis that theve mapped and have been good but then they...

I love the ad08s but ive heard they are shockingly bad in wet conditions however i shall do more research into them, went to japfest last month and loads of higher powered cars were on the ad08s

The 595 RS-R looks like a great tire how long has yours lasted? id like to see good mileage return. I suppose on sensible driving there not going to be as bad as r888`s

Just like to say a big thanks to dan at sjm automotive for sorting out the clio today he was very helpful and a totally genuine guy got my clio from running flat to being a total beast again :) he even dropped me and a mate off in town to chill and spend some money deffo reccomend him again and...
