    So you think racing is too expensive, think again.

    What area do you live Joe? If you want some form of competition but very limited budget then check out your local 'Motor Club'. Not car clubs with 'Cruzin' mannn or whatever its called. Local 'Motor Clubs' arrange small scale local competitive events - Autosolos (large carpark/airfield 'races')...

    trouble fitting ktr / vibra gearbox mount

    Didn't touch the spindle, just filed out the hole in the bush and also through the center of the mount - the mount took a little more filing than the bush. Yes, jack on sump then on gearbox - don't try to lift them, just take the weight.

    trouble fitting ktr / vibra gearbox mount

    a few minutes with a round file and it was on. A fair bit of vibration, I'll re-seat them at some point. I was also a little concerned about losing the square nut that helps locate the engine mount on the new spindle but k-tec told me it should be fine - so we'll see. A jack under either end to...

    Bonnet won't open..

    Davy, if it is the lever inside the car as you say I think you can just pull it off and get some grips on the square ended spindle.

    trouble fitting ktr / vibra gearbox mount

    markoc - was that on both the metal/rubber ring part in the first pic and also the main mount body? Did you get the ring (first pic) to sit flush on the base where the spindle meets the 'tripod' part of the gearbox bracket? thanks for your help.

    trouble fitting ktr / vibra gearbox mount

    For anyone who has fitted one - I can't seem to get the mount far enough down the spigot/shaft for it to protrude and get the nut on. The mount parts go over the thread but not the main shaft body. (tray removed for clarity) Any suggestions?

    Any performance parts showrooms in Hampshire?

    Well, I was after a steering suede steering wheel for a track car - but I have dug out my old Momo Race wheel from a few years back and am considering getting Snappy to retrim it. I also want to feel the material on some different seats and test them for fit/comfort/support. Sometimes its...

    Any performance parts showrooms in Hampshire?

    Does anybody know of any? I'm in Portsmouth and need to see and touch some stuff that I want to buy/fit so need a showroom/stockist rather than mail order.

    Would you buy this car? Any advice welcome

    " I would never buy a car from anyone who considers a bonnet bra in any shape or form, even if they just consider it, hateful mod. " Amen!

    Would you buy this car? Any advice welcome

    Can you fix the tread yourself or would you need the whole job done at a garage? Isn't a helicoil here a head off job? In which case that'll be a few quid probably negating any discount. Those seats are £180 new btw and the 'eibachs' are prob just springs rather than 'suspension'. You could get...

    Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build

    I haven't posted on this thread before but have read most of it and communicated with Tony a couple of times - and even from my side its been an enjoyable journey! How strange. Is your journey taking you away from racing for now Jay?

    Renault engine tuners in the South

    Without wanting to drone on - and be another guy asking questions which in hindsight are obviously from someone uninitiated, I'll give a little explanation. Owned a Williams for 14 years so know the car (except engine internals) and want to go racing in it - I'm not a mechanic but have done my...

    Renault engine tuners in the South

    Cornwall, Bristol, Bedford and Birmingham...or Verwood. I think I might need to accept that I have to travel!. Or attempt it myself. Is it feasible to send the head off for some work, do the cams and/or TB myself etc then get it mapped locally? I've changed a couple of head gaskets in the past...
