Looking for your thoughts and experiences with garage flooring.
Were moving house soon and getting some flooring down in the garage is top of the list of priorities before it ends up full of stuff.
Plan is to have the ph1 at home in the garage for working on so must be able to withstand a jack...
Threads like this make me regret just selling my standard 172 cup and it isn't even away yet!
Felt it was wasted just not getting used due to other priorities and cash can be used elsewhere
Dont think anyone seems to do a mount for that one. Maybe the other 3 take most of the load and that one just absorbs some of the movement? If going solid mounts there will be minimal movement anyway
They wont weigh you when they pull you but they dont go by actual weight. They go by the plated weight. Even if your trailer is plated for 2100kg and you only have a 1000kg clio on it, your down as 2100kg
Ariel base isnt too bad a job, my poor reception forced me into it. Was horrendous. Just got to be careful and not prise the headlining down too far and be prepared to work restricted
100% right, I overlooked that slightly haha
Doesn't seem to be a happy medium towing with a van. They can either tow next to nothing or a decent weight.
Its well worth just doing the trailer test, least you know what to expect if youve never towed or reversed with a trailer before and keeps your...
If your trying to get round it without doing trailer test then be careful if going for a larger van.
Trafic with a towing capacity of 2000kg will only leave you 1500kg for trailer, car and anything else you would like to carry. Will likely involve getting trailer downplated in order to stay...
Main brands out there are brian james and ifor williams. Also got indespension and woodford but dont see so much of these.
For a decent sized trailer in good condition expect to pay £1500-£2500 depending on age
I have an ifor williams ct136hd, 13 x 6 foot and can carry 2100kg, 2700kg gross

I have seen alot of changes in spectator safety in the scottish rally championship over the last 10 years. Unfortunately there was a few fatalaties which drove the change
Its alot more tightly controlled, more marshalls moving on people and alot of areas where there is no spectating at all...
Do you have any pictures to explain? Only differences between inlet manifolds that I am aware of is the different breather system but doesn't affect the general appearance of the manifold
Probably just dirt and siezed onto the pipe and wont spin freely. Either cut it or just keep turning till it shears
Once its cut you'll probably get a socket on it aswell and make things alot easier
Can sometimes get round it by fitting a jacking beam / box section steel to bridge the gap and give you something to work off of but again it will eventually just get in the way of something
Your still very limited with a pit especially for any suspension work or working in the wheel arch area. Pits only good for oil change and exhaust work imo. You'll still end up working on the floor alot
There is one under the scuttle hidden under the wiper linkage, really awkward to get to. That one caught me out. I think there is 4 accessed from the interior footwell. Pure motorsports aircon delete guide was useful when removing mine as it has a write up on removing the heater box assembly
I ran new wishbones on my hillclimb car for a few years, just changed to powerfkex black series over the winter but yet to drive the csr in anger due to covid and no season yet so cant comment unfortubately
May be better just to buy 2 x new cup wishbones and least you know then they are right and everything is fresh. Definitely looks like there is difference but may just be with the camera angle etc. Easiest way is to see the holes directly with the wishbones and ball joints removed
Ah, I thought you were referring to the size and shape of the ph1 airbox inlets which are both circular but it was the ones on the car
Like you said, most standard ducting is now really brittle and broken up, I still have it in my ph1 but it has started to part lower down.
I would just go...
