    brake bleed, which one?

    tbh a normal method is fine unless u f**k it up getting air in the system (speaking from experience - dont rush, pushing too fast and then lift the pedal getting cocky b4 the other bloke has tightened the nut). I got 'most' of teh air out normally but didnt feel quite right. 16 quid eezibleed...

    R27 wins Trackday car of the Year.....

    lol @ corsa being quicker than the astra. tbh i think its a pretty good case for a modern car, sure you go back in time and cars are lighter and more nimble but those days are gone due to red tape and H&S issues. Next best thing is to put a damn good chassis into a car with a 'quite good'...

    vibration under hard acceleration - advice pls

    eventually got the car on the ramps at the weekend and having heard the issue, the mechanic said it was an exhaust mounts somewhere. Ramps showed it to be the last mount near the exit pipe which was all but fully collapsed. New mounts on orders ( for the full exhaust) so fingers crossed

    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...

    New front brake pads of 2004 Clio 182

    depends what your looking at. to reduce fade braided lines are a must but im not sure on 5.1 as dot 4 is fine. a good fast road pad or something as extreme as lorraines + discs as well. some reasonable deals for the lot can be had, have seen yozza doing a lines, pad + disc setup for a good...

    Internet monitoring at work

    if done properly you would never know. A proxy would run transparently on your lan monitoring everything, or as above set in your browser (which is how we do it). could be done ona client but but unlikely. check your ip settings and what your gateway is and what it resolves to (ie gateway...

    GroupN or Superchip??

    christ if £250 is mates rates then i'd dread to know what joe public get charged ... find sum1 closest to you and see them or look at the fastchip gubbins. all the maps are pretty much the same (not identical) so the cheapest usually wins

    is there a cheaper way to get sky+?

    probably yes, boxes not that expensive on ebay etc, bit of dual coax and a dish + dual lnb, then phone em up and say i want sky but mam n dad have given me a box, then send you card which is paired to the box and voila instant saving
