So what's left on the 'to do' list? Progress looks epic!

Full safety devices dash dodger in my track car, it was on the road, but I havent bothered this year

Stubby Bob was epic!

I have a sense of Deja Vu....

Seen a few, they do sound epic!

Definitely on the right side, just not a huge band. They look far more dished than most standard steels IMHO.

Same with anything, my daily will do 55mpg @70, 50mpg@80 and 49-51 sat in commuter traffic doing 40, but if I nip over the hill (B roads and lots of tight corners and gradient changes it's down to 38-43 depending. If you went from 10% town and 90% motorway to all town or backroads you'd be back...

Remember that when @Waitey isnt doing 'performance testing' late at night, most of his mileage is at 80 on cruise. I wouldn't imagine that 34mpg would last long blasting up and down B roads.

This is the biggest thing I miss, diagnosing things is a whole lot more difficult when you cant drive it.

I bought mine intending to keep it road legal so I could avoid trailering it (already had a trailer but cba etc) but at the end of the day, I didnt want to risk driving home with no tyres/pads/bodywork, so I've always trailered it and after the first year where it saw some road use, decided to...

I suspect because it has a very linear power delivery so you dont get the oldscool shove in your back in the midrange and it will be devoid of wind and road noise Ridiculous figures for a family hatch!

Dave in small engined hathback is a better short trip commuter than a V8 M3 shocker 😂 Sounds like a plan though, and you've got some nice bits to fit!

So instead of changing a set of stem seals on a saturday morning, you're building a new track car? While keeping the old one? Which got used on track 4 or 5 times since you bought and built that? Makes perfect sense 😂

@NorthloopCup have you watched Roadkill mate? 😂 As my old boss used to say, "this reads like the beginning of an accident investigation report..." All credit to all involved and glad the cup is still straight and lives to fight another day!

Did you not get rid of the BMW for being expensive and unreliable? 😂

The crownwheel bolts around the outside of the diff normally, so they are independent, you can install the diff with any number of different final drive ratios. Diff looks like this with the crownwheel attached: This is a rear drive one, but the principal is the same:

A kilo or two a corner Mostly for the benefit of cheaper tyres, but yes, there will be some improvement from the weight too. £250-300 for team dynamics, belive they're a touch over 300 new.

Hi, I have an ABS light I'd like to diagnose and I have a generic bluetooth OBD dongle which I use with Torque. I've tried various apps, but none of them want to talk to the ABS module. Has anyone managed to get anything to work apart from CLIP? Will RSTuner read the ABS? Cheers

Theres too many cyclists, VW busses etc to risk that and its so tight some cars wind up doing three point turns for the odd bend. I dont really get why TG thought it was so good. The other side on the other hand is well sighted mostly second to third gear hoonery

The pass down the other side of the mountain is better IMHO, Stelvio is too tight. Umbrail/Furka/Grimsel are all good.

I need to bleed my ABS pump and check out an ABS fault code if anyone can lend me the kit, or come and have a look for beer money? Cheers!

I fixed mine by looking the other way mate.

I have the same engine and box in a bora with some tuning and they go well!

Better than the xp8?

@sburrell93 it's only recently, so may be due to the pads wearing a little thin, but they just go hard and wooden and dont stop, I nearly rear ended a car at the hairpin last time out. It may well be that some new ones the same would be fine again!

Cheers @MarkX Ive had 4 2hr days and 2 4 hour days and 3000 road miles out of a set of RC5+ which were on the car when I bought it, beggars belief the RC6 is that much worse! Not hugely fussed about the dust, its track only now and the wheels are tatty anyway, just want something which works...

I've had these recommended by a few folk who use them, but no one with a clio. I currently run CL RC5+ and theyre fading so I was going to go for RC6E. Any first hand exerience on a clio? Mine is standard engine and box, coilovers, cage, whiteline roll bar and polybushes/spherical joints. Cheers

I like that VW have got into the quick estate market and theyve got the styling spot on. If you dont mind me asking, what's it costing you?

I have a pioneer 7300BT with a 64gb memory stick and bluetooth handsfree and then two amps, four speakers and a sub in the daily but that was all specced 5 years ago. Nowadays I'd be going for one of the android headunits I reckon.
