A few months back ,my oem backbox fell off and I fitted a Magnex 6x4 Oval to it courtesy of Gray for not much. Bar the physical look of it compared to the oem stealth i was coming to live with it - untill i drove t the motor show this week. 2 Hours burbling down the M1 was enuf for the earlobes...

Spotted a rather clean flamer again today going out of derby towards notts in the a52 - carried on towards borrowash as i peeled off down raynesway

Spotted the rather clean 172 Flamer behind me on the A52 leaving derby towards spondon yesterday about 5:15, no CS sticker. I pulled off towards raynesway and you continued up the 52, gave a nod but no acknowledgment, was ashamed as mine was filthy !

Can any of you recommend somewhere for a m8 to get his car saet recovered / repaired / retrimmed. He is in the process of building a kit car and the seat had been in storage until he noticed some mice had been enjoying a munch on it Mids preferred.

Ive noticed in the last few weeks (strangely post croft trackday !) that i can feel a pronounced vibration under hard acceleration (predominantly in 1st and can be felt in 2nd) when 5k and beyond. Not sure if its coming from the engine or wheels but i can definitely feel it via the steering...

Having just attended my 1st trackday @ croft this weekend i found the biggest problem I had was with brake fade after a few fast laps when pushing it trying to match a few faster cars. I am already running braided lines but use some 3rd party cheap and cheerful pads which are fine for road use...

Having changed hoses for braided last Sat and making a pigs ear of bleeding the system, I had another crack last nite with the help of a gunsons eezibleed kit. As i knew i sucked up air when bleeding the drivers rear i was expecting to find it there or the front passenger pair. Did front...

I'm curious to know how tuners have played with ait intakes etc and have said because of the increased airflow the engine runs lean and the car was remapped to allow more fuelling ? How do you know. I can guess that via the combination of sensors the 'burn' will be ideal and have littel waste...

I was having a mooch under the bonnet last nite and saw that the breather pipe which lings the eom elbow to the crank case (i think) at the back of the coil pack was hanging freely in the wind :o Im hoping it has only been like it since the weekend when i was ferreting about with the brake...

bought some dot4 when i was planning tochange my brake lines over the weekend and saw esp dot4 which was marginally more expensive than standard dot4 which the chap at the factors said was a newer fluid used for cars with abs etc but didnt seem to know if it was ok or not so i'll ask you lot ...

have been trying to setup squid on our mail server unsucessfully. Running ubuntu 610 (edgy) and up to date. Installed squid nps and want to have it running as a transparent proxy. IIRC you setup clients so that the gateway is set as the machine the proxy is running on. atm onyl setting altered...

The flame red is getting some braided lines via the group buy so i'm venturing into unknown territory as looking at replacing them myself and never bled brakes or similar before. Ive done a bit of reading and seen that dot4 stuff is recommended. Car is used for road but do plan on throwing it...

following on from my issue with the reclining seat not working properly, has anyone got a picture of just the runners ? Also how do they seperate from the seat etc ? Ideally id like to know how to dismantle the seat / assembly to allow me access to the clip which runs along the teeth that...

Was a video i took from the phone (N70) attached to the rear view mirror. Apologies for the commentary - is full of my chuckling like a kid in a sweet shop and has my lad (6) telling me 'no more nails' comments please :)

During the Sun parade lap @ Donnington yesterday i was in front of a Liquid Yellow V6 Clio and am fairly sure his passenger had a video camera on a tridpod recording it. I would love to find this person and grovel for a copy of the tape he did. Had a mooch thru the pics i had and cant see and...

I have a question after attending RWS and falling in love with the look of the Trophy's and the odd 182 & Meggys with them fitted. Do the subframes have the same operation as the normal RS ones ? IE forward backward, up down (driver) and do they have airbags in as standard ? I know a set...

Am curious to know if Nick Hill aka Hillpower is still trading ? His (albeit out of date) website is up but phone number is unobtainable (01530 273633) Anyone from here had any recent dealing with him ?

Ive developed / found a problem with the passenger side front seat. I wouldnt slide forward at all but would recline to let rear passengers out. I played about and saw on the track at the back is a small sprung plactic clip with what looks to be a lead arm on it which 'should' depress and allow...

Im after the pinout ideally of the yellow mini-iso connector that connects on a head unit and drives the display and reads the stalk adapter. IIRC the stalk powers a 3x3 matrix which is read by the pcb on the display (red connector) I belive that this must be converted to some serial protocol...

Can anyone assist me with the minor detail that my horn has stopped working. Its curiously a month after Renaukt changed my steering wheel but im sure it was working after they changed it.... I took the airbag out yesterday and im assuming the red / black connector is the feed to the horn as on...

Was one of the many invited to the Renault ride and drive day @ Chatsworth house on Sat and instantly saw this at the front of the customers car park. Nice number plate too :) No cs sticker but worth the pic
