So as I've got a nexus 5 which is was/am very pleased with, and the price point suits outright purchase/SIM only within what I can justify, what would people replace it with?

I really like these, the whole concept behind them and the cars themselves, I just cant comprehend building a 2 litre car making 200bhp in 2015 and having it only do 35mpg on a run.

Michelins are awful for this, I'd heave them personally.

"Overnight parts from Japan"

Yeah, it would be better if it was.

The threaded portion of the rod ends is under bending forces and they shouldnt be, Id be doing it more like this: With the rod ends fastened to the alternator and idler bracket with bolts, in single shear, but to save making the hex part, you can get away with two female rod ends and some...

Id do it the other way around if it would fit, two bolts through the two flanges and the rosejoins in female form on the bar so that they're not in bending.

Car looks epic! What brake ducts are those and where from?

I have a stripped and caged car on spherical bushes and used it on the road - fun when you're on it, but pretty miserable driving to work, in a city, in traffic, in a suit. Love it on the track though, much more raw and to be honest, you can feel a 50kg weight saving (although you'll have had...

I ran 30 all round on my 15s on the road, but tbh, never tried changing it so can't confirm if it was 'best'

Has anyone got a full list of who is fmdojng what at knockhill this year? I'd like to try a reverse day at somepoint

I've got a set and the drivers side is knocking when on the ground but of course tightens up when you jack the car up so its taken a little while to find! I see they do service kits, has anyone here rebuilt a pair? Whats involved? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2847&appid=2 Cheers

I miss the alps, not going to see them this year sadly after the last few. Looks a cracking trip in a lovely car!

@charltjr makes sense, I've not looked since I bought my last set to may well be better off with allseasons next time

I like running proper tyres in summer so won't ever compromise on running all seasons all year round and once you have a second set of wheels its better to just run proper winters. Most people who've tried them tend to never go back - unless they bought cheap s**t tyres (which are always awful...

Stunning car, I'm (sadly) really impressed by the fuel economy!

Fittes, squeal free and seem to work well in the road. They fade out fairly quickly but that's to be expected. Happy camper!

Shame about the Ratsun, but it was another great episode. I've caught up with hot rod garage and started on dirt everyday now. The list of old American shite I'd like to drive is lengthening by the day!

Cool car, but IMHO a totally different target market

Excellent, that crosses the 65 off the list :P 100 would be nice, but I assume being a different box any non DCI 100 parts dont fit.... Which leaves the 85 :)

Looking for a second budget commuter vehicle to rack lots of dual carriageway miles onto and these look to make a degree of sense. Who's got one? What sort of fuel consumption do you get? Would you have another? I believe there were several different engine power options, anyone know the...

Aye, I used to swear by Mintex, but they only seem to work well for about 3 months now. Jurid aren't bad, will try these since they come recommended!

The very same, thanks for checking fella! Ordered, now just to wait and see what shows up 😂

That's exactly what I was trying to avoid..... Not an ECP fan, less contact the better! http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Renault_Clio_2.0_2002/p/car-parts/brakes/brake-friction/brake-pad/?101745248&1&80ba51d413a518d5f6da54f5b1921105a7513d25&000036 Are these the ones? Rears are 15

@imprezaworks Do you have a link to these online? Cheers

I've had one and hated it, always the wrong height and in the way

Ahh, so you can truly 'bolt in' a bolt in cage, as opposed to having to weld in bases? What do they do for the other feet? Clever idea really, never seen it before!

I've just been working my way through this thread for the first time. Whats this thing? Looks like a great build!

Cant comment on the standard chairs as mine has buckets and is stripped, but I fitted the buckets as low as I could and hard outboard against the cage to try and line them up better with the pedals. I've got an aftermarket boss and deep dish wheel on it too, the only issue Im left with is that...

I'll try and get some tonight or tomorrow when Im home mate. If you've not heard owt by Friday drop me a PM, I've a head like a sieve.
