Interested in handling only, so not spacers fitted for brake clearance, looks etc. Ph1 F1s are et 43 while the ph2 cup ran et35, so an 8mm spacer seems a good starting point, but many seem to go wider, to 16, 20 or 25mm. What have people found handles best, I'm happy to widen the track but I...

I bought some wheels which were listed as 4*100 and they turn out to be 4*98. As I like them and I've already had tyres fitted, I'd like to for them using wobble bolts. Due to the small bores around the bolts I need 'tuner' style bolts with an internal spline as opposed to external hex. Can...

Even in time attack its not too bad, its racing where you cant have a cool down lap, or come in after 15 mins. Endurance is, IMHO, the single hardest thing to achieve.

Ebay, or racers in the various race series if you keep an eye out. The BMW compact cup has just had a regulation tyre change away from R888 so those are up for sale, mini coopers race on A048R 15s, the renault clio 182 series runs on Direzzas, but it's just a case of being in the right place at...

The main issue with dry track tyres, beyond outright grip, is that road tyres wont stand the heat and fall apart. Most of the race series which run "road tyres" shave half the tread off to stop it moving around and warming up so much. I don't really care about the lap times, but I do care about...

Depends on weather, driving style, and how much tread there was to start with, but at about a quarter of the price of a new set, with around half the tread left it makes sense unless you need the last couple of tenths that come from rubber with no heat cycles.

Simple answer is it depends what you want from them. I want to use the car on the road and on track, and outright pace is irrelevant, so I use part worn A048s from various race classes which are £100-150 a set and will take the heat of a dry trackday without breaking up. For the road I use...

Thanks for having a look. I suspect I'll go oil water that being the case, avoid the lines and cooler sticking out the front end and give some regulation of oil temp against the water circuit.

I could, but theyre expensive and i wanted to see if there was another option, for instance in the vauxhall world everyone raids astras and cavaliers for the sandwich plate and lines and then buys a mocal copy core (to ensure it's clean)

Ebay produces loads of oil to water sandwich plates off diesel models, and a suggestion that the laguna may have had an oil to air one, but no details. I'm basically looking for a suitable vehicle from which to pinch a thermostatic sandwich plate with M20x1.5 fitment and a 65.5mm sealing ring...

Is this a whole different dash top, or is the wee cubby interchangeable? Cheers

I'm not fussed about shiney as long as its tidy, presentable and works, I'm tempted to go for the megane one and some new bushes, did you literally bore yours out and glue it on? Has it lasted ok like that? I'd have though epoxy and Nylon wouldnt give the best bond? Cheers

Indeed, and unless its properly laminated actual carbon its just for tarts - hence I'm more than happy with GRP, or alloy or whatever, just curious to see what others have done.

Hi, I'm looking for something to make a flat floor in the drivers footwell of my clio, and also to make a floor/footrest in the passenger side. I like the look of these: But I dont like the price of either of them and I'm not fussed by the carbon. What has everyone used in their cars? Cheers

30mm drop on eibachs will be barely noticeable to 99% of the population and work very well, especially with some decent shocks. Car looks great!

Cheers for the gen!

How do you mean longer throw? Most boxes the throw is limited in the selector mechanism in the turret and the gear stick throw is incidental? I know they dont like being shifted too fast, but thats a driving issue, not one of design?

Ahh, I was going to ask where the shiney lift reverse sleeve came from! I expect I'll fit a megane shifter in the near future which has all the same issues as the clio one and is (I think) whats shown in the pic in my post @bashracing

Exactly that! http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xquaife+gearknob&_nkw=quaife+gearknob&_sacat=0 I also found this one:

I've always wanted one and now ave a track car to put one in, but I know they normally just thread onto a rod and the clio has lift reverse and no thread with the OE knob bonded on. Has anyone managed it? If so how? Cheers

I know this is an old post, but it contains most of the relevant info. Does anyone know if the ABS ECU was the same in all Ph2 sports? I have a 172 on a 02 plate which had the speedo fed from the gearbox, can I run a cable as described above to the ABS ECU and expect it to work, or was it a...

Who has clip? Is it a dealer only thing or fairly common?

From what I've read on here, the service light comes on when there is an airbag fault, along with the airbag light? I need to airbag light to be off and never show, so I guess I can remove the bulb from that, but to get the service light off I guess I need to add the resistors to the plugs as...

I was looking to run Goodyear eagle assymetric 2s but they don't come in 195/50 15 it seems. The options seem to be continentals at 50 odd quid, or the rainsprts. I ran these on a nova on the road for years and loved them, but will they work on track without falling apart? I don't mind them not...

Can the box be used to change the maps on multiple cars? I.e. if someone local had the box, could I pay for a code and map, put it on my car and then give the box back? Cheers

I'm looking for some tyres for summer road use and trackday wets. With this in mind I'd like curcumferential tread bands as opposed to V-tread which rules out the GSD3 and Rainsports. I run eagle assymetrics on my daily and they're awesome, but not made in 195/50 15 sadly. I've tried Toyo...

So I have CL RC5s for the track and Im looking for a decent set of road pads to use on a second set of disks (Brembo HC) What would people recommend, DS2500, 1144 or something else?

Who does everyone use? Seems to be a sticking point with many of the mainstream ones? Looking into covering a track car for occasional road use. Cheers
