That bent bit of metal that joins the two 18mm bolts together will be the culprit if it's bent out of shape. I've had the same happen on mine. Take if off and then tighten the bolts and test to see if the caliper slides.

I'll be trying Winmax W5 next, if I decide to move from PBS.

On my oil gauge it reads 17/18psi at 85c on idle, with 14psi at 120c.

Karcher do a portable washer which is around £100 I think. Meant for doing mountain bikes and such things.

Depends on the driver I suppose, but I get about 3 track days out of the fronts. Spoke to a guy who races in the Civic Cup and he sees the fronts off in one 20 minute race 😂

Make sure your rear calipers are working smoothly too. Should be able to move the sliders and turn the piston by hand easily.

I don't think they do quite as much on the 172 Cup because of the lack of ABS, but they get fairly warm on mine 😅 You can see a good amount of pad material transfer too, so they definitely work.

They work much better with the PBS rears as well. I've tried just fronts and the performance wasn't as good. That should solve your problems.

I use this on everything. https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/ez-detail-brush-mini

I would say one of the abs rings tbh. Sounds familiar.

Cheers mate. Yeah they're really nice, loads of support. The high sides give you somewhere to rest your left arm 😂

Yeah that's @BRT Motorsport kit. Quality kit. If I hadn't have got the Pro Line kit ages ago, I would have bought that one.

If it's lowered and the ARB is under tension, then adjustable links will make a difference. You don't want any preload on the ARB ideally. Need to set the length of the link when the car is at normal ride height.

That's the official stuff yeah.

Yeah the ACS kit had issues I believe.

Yeah I filed some of the rust out too. May have used a bit of grease as well, can't remember now. It will go in.

I thought they only fit one way around.

A tight fit yeah. Use a bit of wood in between though so you don't smash the f**k out of the new sensor.

How has someone put the fan on backwards 😂

Can't imagine it getting any hotter than that 😂 I mean, steel starts glowing around 500c doesn't it? I'd just do it until it glows tbh.

600-800c i'd say.

75amp for the Cup alternator and 110amp for everything else. They're the two options really.

Ceramic coating or for even longer lasting, get them lacquered at a paint shop.

Make sure you get them from a Milwaukee dealer otherwise they won't honour the warranty.

Headlight polish and that would look mint, Paul! Grinspeed are good as well, they set my Clio up twice now and it's felt the best it's ever been.

If you can find an engine that's had belts done recently, it shouldn't be too costly to swap over. Even i can get an engine out of these in half a day.

If everything about the car was mint, bodywork and mechanical, i would probably get it repaired. But if it's just average then you may as well just buy another car.

Is it still running the standard oil cooler/heater that works off coolant? Probably worth running an aftermarket oil cooler.

Has the cambelt gone? That would be the first thing to check. Not sure why they didn't try and turn it over by hand via the crank pulley bolt, it's easy enough with the spark plugs out. When you say it broke down, how do you mean? Just cut out or went with a bit of a noise?

What temps are you getting?
