Anyone heard of them before? I'm assuming they are a sub devision of AP Brakes in Coventry... Can't quite work out if they offer re-branded AP stuff or they are more towards bespoke design/service... http://www.caparoapbraking.com/index.asp

Is there any way of telling the difference between a sports cat and silenced decat on Janspeed systems? The emmision light has come on today so not 100% sure what is causing it....

Are these things simple to refurb? Can you get away with masking over the cylinders and having them spray painted or powder coated, or would the require total stripping? Cheers, Mike P.S, no comments from all them 4 pot hatters ;)

RB with White turini's, about 10:45 this morning.

After Bedford track day my front right wheel has some scrubbing and left a hole in the liner lol. If I remove the liners, is it better to pop rivet some sheeting over the exposed engine bay area, or can the liner be cut in sections so that it misses the rubbing area and still stay intact? If I...

Not sure if it was cyclone blue, but had racing stripes, few ladies in the car... Also saw you in Bay 3 or 4 at Macies... lol

Spotted you in the carpark today, Think I've noticed you're car at the Bramley cottage quite a few times too... nice motor :cool:

Do cars tend to sell quicker and for more if they are turned back to standard as compared to a fully modded one?

Car has had a few changes in the past few months, mainly some strippage and bits of scafolding installed :o Car as standard: Car with AST's, BB Performance exhaust, white 2118's, Cobra Evo's with custom embroider, and a bit of steel pipe in the back lol. Cruise control...

Got my renewal quote and its gone from £330 to £375... I ask if they can match or better any other price and the chap said yes, but nothing silly like £150... so does that mean they can easily budge £100 off my quote??? Anywho... When you send them a quotation from a competitor, how do they go...

Had my Cobra's installed last week but the resistors were not put in... Can I simply slot them into the plugs or will i need to disconnect the battery and drain for 30min? I remember reading about someone who did this to his steering wheel and it sparked/damaged the wires, hence asking. Pics...

Want to cover the whole rear in boot carpet as a respray will be a bit too pricey atm. Is this ebay stuff any good? http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Ambassador-Car-Mats__W0QQ_armrsZ1QQ_fsubZ6291049QQ_scZ1QQ_sopZ1 Any other types to look for? Cheers :)

As per title, want to remove all front seats. I've read that there is a guide on here but can't find anything specific... Cheers, Mike

I'm getting my half cage welded up next week, any ideas what colour to go for? I've got a Gold/Black 182 with white 2118 wheels. Options atm are: Gold/Black as my car is having some pannels re-sprayed Matt Black White Orange Pics welcome :o

Think that's what it's called? The small coil spring on the bottom... Anywho, jacked the car up today, when lowering it, heard a small bang noise. Turns out that the spring broke (rear offside). Is this something that needs to be replaced asap or only used when taking the coilovers off...

Would like to get a new set of rubber on my wheels soon as these are average and read good review over others... Question is, what are these like on track? Thought I'd might as well use them up, it will be for my first track day, so wont be throwing it around and looking to improve lap times...

Getting mixed reviews when I do a general search on the subject. Some use the 20p ones and have no problems, others do and end up buying the capitalseating ones for £30'ish... What I'm not sure about is, if I use the 20p ones and they throws up a fault light, can I simply buy the "better...

Noticed a tapping noise whilst doing the wheel pressures today. Was initially coming from the driver side arch, then when I opened the bonnet it seemed to be more to the left side of the engine block. Had a look at the cam belt (has been recently changed) and all seemed well... (engine was...

As per pics, someone decided to reverse into my car the other day... Any help on touch up or complete respray people would be smashing :) Ideally as close to Redditch B97 due to work and other commitments. I think alot of the scuffs will polish out, but there are areas that have gone through to...

Test driven a 172 for the missus yesterday and the cluth/biting point seemed very high up and had little play with it. It was also very stiff (the clutch) lol The car had only done 24,000 miles and a 54 plate. Also, I assume all FF 172's on the 54 plate included the cruise control where as...

Does anyone know of a decent website forum or Mini specialist within the midlands area (+100 miles radius) for checking and replacing electrical parts? Basically my missus has been having several problems with the car boot opening, electrics resetting, not starting, parts failing whilst...

Were previously BB Performance Tuning I believe, anyone bought or know of these cams? Figures seem unrealistic to me... http://www.engine-dynamics.com/epages/es118981.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es118981_shop/Products/%22Clio%20Sport%20Performance%20Camshaft%20kit%22

Was behind you just as you passed the Kingsley school and turned into the car carages (about 3:50ish). For some reason the car looked like it had a slight hint of blue in the paint?!

Had some AST's fitted 3 weeks ago, big thanks to Dan R who was selling them. Car feels much more positive when turning in, plus more stable for general throwing around lol. Only downside I can find is driving over them poxy cobble stones you get at Tesco, back end shudders over them lol...

Saw your car up on jacks and missing an engine :( Lovely looking car though!

Sounds silly but CS2 doesn't have Arial Black in it's font list, not mine anyway... Is there a way of importing this off the net? In my previous version you could download and insert them into the font folder. You could also cut and past text and it copies the properties... Cheers, Mike

Want to polish my misus Mini one today but unsure if its ok to polish over the factory fitted strips on the bonnet? Also whilst on the subject, there are loads of light scratch marks on the shiny plastic cover that are situated on the side rear windows... Can these be corrected or best to stay...

Is this a simple plug and play for my 182? Want to use this instead of the aftermarket wheel horn. Cheers, Mike

Mk2 Ph1 I think... Grey 2118 wheels driving throught centre of town. Also saw a badly scratched blue 172 in the small carpark.
