Well following on from my last thread when i painted the Toyo R888 on my track tyres.
I went to Bedford Autodrome yesterday to do the GT Circuit.
First thing, i was fully amazed with the amount of grip the R888's give was keeping up with a 911 Turbo round the corners. A Youtube Vid with proof...
I had EBC green stuff out on a trackday and they overheated and are now super rubbish.
I just put carbone lorraine pads in for my trackday tomorrow, and they are a million times better and they werent even warm.
My question is what can i use to file off the top layer off the green stuff for...
Finished work early so thought i'd be very sad and paint the TOYO R888 on my track tyres.
I do know that all my effort was pointless as it will get scrubbed off next friday when on track, but there ya go.
What do people think? i'l put the wheels/tyres on the car next week and take another...
After some guys on here said about lowering the orginal seats.
I'v had a go tonight and it has been the best mod i'v made.
Here are a few pictures of just how low i have got the seat. I have lowered the drivers seat and left the passengers one for now.
I'm well happy with it :)
:D
I was going to take the Old RS and clio badge off but i'm thinking of spraying the dark grey. Can some one photo shop them and do the rear dimond too :)
Thankyou
Put the cat on for my MOT so my exhaust it quiet atm.
I can hear a squeek from the front drivers suspention or wheel. I fitted H&R Coilovers about 6 weeks ago. Could it be a topmount not done up enough? I have a gap about 2 or 3 mm between the rubber topmount and the Metal bit on the car. is...
I just knew something bad was gona happen today.
Just had a garage do my MOT and if passed :)
Howevery when i got back home and walked round the back of my car i saw on of the pipes is stuck out 2 inchs and the other one is stuck out 1 inch.
It was fine before i took it there, now its bent...
I'v taken my decat off and fitted my Cat, but the light has not gone off yet. Will if fail for having the light on.
Surly if the Cat works then it should be fine????
Is there any other way of getting rid of the light apart form taking the dash part or using a RS tuner type of thing?
cheers
Here are a few pictures of my race teams support car. We deiced to make a car that we can all drive to the races so we dont have to all drive our own cars.
We started off with a green Mini Clumban cooper.
We stripped it down ready to be painted in our OX4 Racing colours.
Not many pics of...
My MOT is on friday. I cant get my decat off to put my cat on. I'v taken the spring loaded nuts off but cant get the decat out of the Exhaust. How do ya take it out, I'v tryed pulling it loads but it just wont budge
HELP!!!!!!
It's my first time puting a cat back on my car as my MOT is on the 6th of feb.
Does anyone know where i can get the two clamps that are in the picture as Halfrauds dont have them.
I think i found this pic on here a while back
Here's my decat.
Thanks

Are Carbone Lorraine pads really that bad on your discs? I have read lots of threads saying they are great but eat discs.
I was just going to use them for tracks, how many trackdays will my discs last if i use them, (average braking trackdays).
I have Brembo Max discs
Cheers :)
I did my first trackday at a wet airfield a month or two ago. My bumper picked up loads of chips from a stupidly fast GT2 going past me and pulling in right after he went past.
Basically is there any film that you can buy that i can quickly put on for the trackday?
Cheers :D
Finally got my track wheels and tyres put together and put on the car.
I think it looks so much better on 15"
Sorry for the rubbish quality.
Very impressed with the amount of grip they give. Had a very sprited drive :)
Cant wait for my track day on the 20th of Feb
Can someone please photoshop the Renault Sport badge off, and the Elf one in the window if possable and the KTR sticker.
When i get some money i'm thinkin about getting the New Renault Sport badge.
Cheers
I'm looking into buying Carbon Lorraine pads for when i do track days. Does anyone know where the cheapest place is that sells them.
I have seen them on K-tec's website. Does anyone know if they are the RC5 or RC6? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2371
Cheers :)
After seeing some guys on here taking some night shots of their cars, i thought i'd give it a go tonight. Here are my first attempt of taking some shots in a local multi-story.
The camera and myself are not the best, but here ya go :)
Comments welcome
I am looking into buying a Machien Polisher.
I have seen these two.

Is the second one really worth the extra money
Cheers :)
I fitted H&R Coilovers the other weekend, here are some pics of before and after i had them.
Cant really see that much of a difference in height from the Apex springs to the coilovers, but the ride seems a lot smoother and it handles much much better. Just need the geometry done and it should...
My Exhaust is sat slightly to the right, and after my blast round Abingdon airfield it's melted the sh*t out of one of the bumper exhaust surrounds.
I'm not really sure on what to search for, but basically i want to know if people have put some padding in the brackets to push it over the other...
I have just been given a set of these Brembo 4 Pots, Apprently they have rust on the other side of the pistons so they could not fully retract and the pad was allways on the disk.
I'm thinking that i may use this as my final year project at uni to get them to fit on my 182, lol.
They will...
As above. I'v had my 182 for 4 months and i'm not sure what is the next thing that i could buy to make it better.
It's got:
Brembo Max discs
Braided hoses
Green Stuff pad (soon be changed to Ferodo Ds2500)
K-tec Exhaust with Decat
Apex springs (Picking up H&R Coilies on the 6th)
OZ F1's With...
Saw a very clean black 172 at about 2ish in Milton Keynes. Looked smart, thought i reconised the "I<3 Speedbumps" sticker in the rear window from a car on here.
:)
I was pulling out of the car park at BMW in Oxford and got behind you at the traffic lights.
I saw the Cliosport sticker in the rear window :)
It was around 4:45pm
Realised it was you that left the flyer on my car last friday at work.
Saw the V6 in the car park yesterday.
I obviously keep getting the best spot in the car park lol
You got a Ktec Exhaust?
