    rear cup brakes

    I'd check that they know about the VOSA advisory first but mine failed on rear's being very low and I showed them the VOSA advisory and they said fair enough but still too low Free'd the rear caliper sliders up, rebuilt them, loosened the bias adjuster under the car and then cable tied it in...

    Track day suspension (KW V2s?)

    This would be ideal as I assume the high price is mostly because the rear units are quite complex and I'm not really bothered about an "all in one" coilover rear - I don't see much advantage of it unless I want to go lower than it currently is but I'm happy with the height Timescales for...

    Track day suspension (KW V2s?)

    I suspect you could make the AST's fit PMS top mounts because they just run a little shim inside the joint - I think James had a new shim made to fit But those AST's are 182 fitment - so I'd have to change to 182 hubs which is a bit of a ball ache and extra money I did look at the Spax setup...

    Track day suspension (KW V2s?)

    That's cool - if I get a year out of them doing amateur days I'll be happy I'll have a much bigger budget next winter to enter it into sprints/tin tops so I can always sell the KW's on for some AST's in a years time I'm pretty restricted by budget at the moment - £8/900 is about the most I...

    Track day suspension (KW V2s?)

    Lewis is selling his AST's but they're 182 fitment so I'd have to swap hubs. And they're pretty old. I'm conflicted between the hassle of that and the age - or 3 month old KW's that fit straight on :(

    Track day suspension (KW V2s?)

    Realistically I'm not gonna push as hard as you tin top guys do - I'll be doing 6-10 track days next year, and a trip to monaco/spa/ring in it 2nd hand AST's are very rare and new are £1600 The KW V2's are £800 I'm hoping they're good enough for track day fun on R888's and also for the...

    Track day suspension (KW V2s?)

    Oh nice - so no problems with adjustors seizing up or anything then?

    Track day suspension (KW V2s?)

    Right, Let's have it out with the people who actually do track days/sprints/tin tops I've been offered some KW V2's pretty cheap, and I want rid of my bilsteins as not being adjustable I really struggle to get the car setup right Anyone got any experience with KW's? I was hoping for...

    172 Cup Track/Fast Road car.

    The clio or the Passat? LOL Cheers mate The bilsteins are off at the moment and it's back on standard suspension. Need to find some adjustable coilovers for it over winter, and some better tyres. Need to send it down to Fred too for cambelt and a few other bits. Then buy a trailer...

    My new car... meet Ruby.

    I don't care how much a month it is or where you live - I am sooo jealous If I could get an aston martin for £400 a month I'd rip someones hand off even if it was rented. Nothing in the world would beat a cruise down to Monaco at the weekend in that!!

    Seems a Good deal Military or Police (F.A.O Sunglasses Ron)

    That company always seems really dodgy to me - drive past them every day on way to work, just a generic office building. The registered address is in the scummiest place in Lincoln Bit weird

    Hosted Backup/Dropbox alternative/Cloud

    Just go for it then mate - or as one of my old bosses said "suck it and see" They're all pretty much the same, and free, and take about 5 mins to install. Give one a go and see how you like it

    Best website host?

    Your about page on here said otherwise until you edited it. Also your profile on steam says otherwise And your profile on 206info Also... And you setup a proxy and subdomain on swbroadband.co.uk for someone here ->...

    Hosted Backup/Dropbox alternative/Cloud

    Owncloud is ok, used it very briefly once but ended up just using dropbox as didn't see any point re-inventing the wheel They're not really complex - it's just a client app that copies the file to your server. Question is though is you're hosting backed up or if a hard drive goes pop do you...

    182 itb`s, who do people prefer and make?

    Yeah I was considering charging mine over winter but the thought of having to put a standard loom back in, and inlets back on and blah blah put me off lol

    Dan - where does the FBW wire go if you're on throttle bodies? *confused*

    182 itb`s, who do people prefer and make?

    It's a bit destructive that though - no way of going back to standard without putting a new engine loom in

    182 itb`s, who do people prefer and make?

    That's half true - it's just the 2 TDC sensor wires that splice into the standard loom BUT you are left with all your old loom laying around the engine bay and the dashboard lit up like a christmas tree and an MOT failure If I was buying from new I'd get a GEN90 - plug and play into the...

    BIGASH/FF-Racing X85 Clio Cup Racer Project

    I hate to say it - but if you're dipping it to try and get the weight of the shell down - I think I'd do the cheaper option and have some of the excessive roll cage removed instead :) I'm thinking the same as Ryan, if someone brakes a bit late and turns your shell into a banana that dipping...

    What chip said Jenvey's over AT Power every time I bought my Jenvey kit 2nd hand it took less than 4 hours to strip all the old inlet stuff off, fit the jenveys, wire the omex in and start the car lol I'd have a crack yourself it's fairly easy to fit, if you order a proper loom from omex for a...

    Fitting Powerflex?

    I wouldn't buy new arms and then rip the brand new bushes out to fit powerflex lol - why not try to buy some 2nd hand ones from one of the cars being broken on here? Then you could sell yours on to someone else doing the same Not sure I'd trust after market arms - i'd probably want renault...
