Has anyone got the Oreca cage with removable door bars?

Leaving Llandudno area. Reg J400 VEL Looked great on the road!

After Christmas and our anniversary in Feb I'll be looking into getting the DTH kit from KTec with the Gen90. I've been umming and ahhing for ages now about what route to take but I love ITBs... So what are the longest trumpets I can fit on a ph1? The bonnet catch will be going and a smaller...

What are the best sidelights to go for? Single or multiple LED or SMD LED? Also will the white go well with 6k HIDs and are they 501 type fitting?

I had an RS Tuner and sold it. But might get another for something.. Anyway I've already paid for an unlock code. Could I get another RS Tuner and use the unlock code I've got.

No previous running issues. Used it a couple of weeks ago. Went to open the car and the battery was to low to open the central locking so had to use the lock on the passenger side, however the alarm LEDs were still flashing. Got it charged up and now it won't fire. Turns over fine, can smell...

I'll be running 10mm spacers on the front and no spacers on the rear. I want to change to studs for ease of fitting and swapping wheels. What length will I need for the front and rear. Also what thread and pitch are they? Thanks chaps :)

Can't find anything but does anybody do a uprated front anti roll bar?

In what order do the components go when fitting the top mounts? Do you retain the standard bearing or not?

Looking at potential discs and solutions for a cheap AP Racing 4 pot caliper for 1*2 Clios. One in particular would involve using a disc 2mm thinner than the caliper was intended for. I can't see an issue with having a 1mm shim behind each pad or am I missing something?

I've noticed the rear hub spacers look like steel in the photos. Why is this when other cars I've fitted spacers to use aluminium?

Currently on new cup shocks and Cooksport springs, its nice on the road but on track I'd like a little more from it without going to coilovers. Are the Koni shocks a decent improvement over Cup shocks? They have damping adjustment which would be useful for track.

I've searched a couple of threads that say all 3 bolts to the front of the car for max caster. But what is the setting for max caster and camber? And are they infinitely adjustable up to 1.4 degrees?

I'm sure I've seen a thread on here with Clio/Meg 4 pot Brembos fitted with 283mm brake bells and rotors under 15s. I can't find the thread though despite numerous searches. Anyone know of this? I'm pretty sure Noos made the bracket kits.

In a supercharged application what is the max PSI the bottom end can take safely?

As title, anyone know what it is on a F4R?

How much work is it swapping a subframe over on a 172? I'll be taking the hubs and struts off soon so I thought whilst the suspension is off it might not be much more work taking the subframe off.

Had anyone had issues on track with spigot rings? I.E heat from brakes or loading from cornering, kerbs?

I bought a set of these in 15x7 expecting a weight of 6.2kg as advertised. How come they weigh 7.5kg? I know that weight is for the ET45 offset and I've got the ET35 but that doesn't account for the 1.3kg extra. I'd like to understand where this extra weight is from so I can justify sending...

I'm going to order a VW rad and slimline fan this weekend and I've already got a fan switch blank in case the rad doesn't come with one. The current fan has two plus on it, one for the motor and one on the shroud. When I wire the new fan in will I just need the motor wiring and not the one...

Where is the fan switch on a Ph1 172? I thought it would be in the radiator but it's blanked off.

Which is correct 1035 or 1059kg?

Has anyone managed to fit the DTH ITBs from Ktec without removing the slam panel and bonnet catch? I asked Ktec and they said it might be possible with shorter trumpets and air filter but they haven't tried as it might lose torque. The AT Poer kit fits fine thought and that makes good torque...

Has anyone fitted the non-thermoformed ones? Pics would be great if so. ​I'm hoping they don't look too flat.

I sold my camera a while ago but I've still got my trusty Desire HD. Has anyone used on for recording in car? I'm sure I've read a thread on here where someone uses one. If so how have you mounted it?

I remember reading a guide by Rally Design a few years ago about choosing the right piston size for 4 pots. See here http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/pdf/designing_4_pot_brakes.pdf Now it says for working out a suitable 4 piston replacement for single piston callipers with sliders that the area of...

Are the seatbelt bolt threads 7/16" UNF or M10? Are the ISOfix threads the same?

For the lap belts that should bolt around the handbrake area, how have you guys fixed them? Is it a case of drilling a hole behind the handbrake and getting a load spreading plate or can I fix them somewhere else? To the subframes perhaps.

Got my car back today and this was pointed out to me, any ideas where it goes?
