This is ridiculous. It’s been over an hour and I’m left with a headache for the rest of the day. It’s not so much the db but the resonance, I feel like it’s fried my head. I can’t even drive it until I can rectify it, it’s so bad. The mad thing is I bought it for a track car to go in with a...

Thanks, helps a lot

Does anyone have a resonated Ktec stealth system with stock cat? If so, is it much louder than stock? I have just acquired another 172 & it has a decat & non res Ktec stealth system! My god it’s literally deafening loud and the resonance is unbearable, like really, really bad. I’ve got a...

Have you taken the spacers out of the current setup between the rail and floor? Does make a difference.

I have a stock black FF 172 and always thought it’s the worst looking std clio sport. Don’t get me wrong I love the car but the stock wheels almost make it indistinguishable from a bogo model clio IMO. I think Turinis look great on them.

You need to get the battery tested properly, drop tested, CCA tested... not just voltage. I’d imagine even Halfords do a free health check? (They should have a little computer like mine where you input the battery’s CCA and connect it up, it’ll tell you what the actual health of your battery...

I think it’s just because he seems like a nice guy.

I’d echo what crazylegs said. I have two 172’s and one is standard, one is modded with poly stuff, springs etc and it’s as horrible as it is awesome to drive (if that makes any sense). I certainly wouldn’t move from OE if it’s your daily. You’ll get a lot of vibration with updated engine &...

Dont know if it’s like the makita one I’ve got but mine uses a jack plug on the jacket which then goes to the makita battery adaptor and battery. I’ve got these 12v battery packs I use for my night vision scopes for shooting. Got them off eBay and they have the jack plugs built on. Tried them...

Awesome car (and driving going by the pics on 3!) Did laugh at this! Reminded me I went to fix an oil leak on a 964 911 and was fussing over the jacking (as you would with someone’s nice porsche) in his yard at work. Bloke went “wait there” next thing he flies in with a forklift, straight...

Wait til you notice how he walks! Looks like he’s just finished a round the world horse ride.

Watching them in the metal round track the other week, Clios at full tilt (impressive as ever) and megs just casual as you like able to slip up the inside and power away like they weren’t even trying.

Those megs look fast round the track.

I wouldn’t bother personally. I wouldn’t be tracking it with a top mount (but then I wouldn’t be tracking an impreza) and that updated one is probably pretty decent. I have had front mounts and nothing wrong per-say but it’s just much neater with the top mount and less likely to rub something...

Lovely build, looks great. Would love an RB track car.

I’d like to think you’re right but sadly I think you’re wrong, otherwise ‘Fabian’ should be a Hollywood actor. Adding as... A quick search on YT shows a vid from 5 months ago with them in his ‘unit’ I wouldn’t let him top up my washer bottle but I’d imagine he prob offered a silly cheap deal...

Would you properly play them though? It always sounds like a good idea but whenever I’ve gone back to old games (with this romantic feel) I’ve played them for 5 mins and realised it’s best left a memory. I dug out my N64 a while back, waxing lyrical to my son and the tumbleweed was large...

I’ve seen a couple of DMO vids out of morbid curiosity more than anything but he’s acting pure bully boy all the time now. He bought a crap civic then started a hate campaign against the lad he bought it off, making vids constantly shouting “fcuk stu” & even saying he was doing merch with the...

Only thing I’m interested in is Far Cry, big fan of those. I will say the last one was annoying when it’d drag you into those side games with faith, had to get my son to do those as I’d have smashed it. Last game that almost tipped me over the edge that hard was Mario Sunshine.

Yeah, why is that?

ha, yeah I can imagine! Having owned a few cossies though I can say I don’t blame you. They might not have the kudos of a cossie but they sure as hell are fun to drive for what they’re worth. The fact you don’t have to worry about them being nicked or damaged is handy too. I absolutely love the...

Bought some MAC RBRT Hex sockets the other day, don’t have a dealer here but managed to track one down who kindly mail ordered them. Worth a look if you’re in the trade. Saves much grief as Hex bolts can be a pain when people have partially rounded or the stubborn drop link hex when you’ve got...

Very nice, it’s pearl white?

I was going to start a thread on this but thought I’d seen mention. Just saw it appear on the fb sales page! I don’t know whether I’m more stunned at the prices for work or I’m more stunned what an idiot I must be when charging for working on Italian exotica! I’m just off to service an F40...

Sure you’re not 180° out? The cam slots are off centre. I still don’t get the idea of using a jubilee clip to do the aux tensioner, the spring is crazy strong and I’d rather not loose an eye! Regardless, It has a female square drive hole on it to allow you to easily move it like you would...

Changed a couple of bulbs which meant this... To get to these... to be able to see this... which lead on to be removing what was left of the sticky crap on the top surround. Painted it ‘hard hat’ black, came out well (dust is post hardened dust) so just got to do the rest of the nasty...

Wouldn’t exactly call it a shed. And you mean you don’t have a car giveaway business? I thought everyone did these days.

I’ve used these at work & love them, I’d have preferred one to the Milwaukee stubby I bought. Yes the Milwaukee is more powerful but the shape of this snap on impact is perfect for getting in places you’d want to with a 3/8”. The Milwaukee misses that longer snout and I find I have to use...

The timing belt fuss these cars attract does kind of annoy me slightly, it’s part of the running costs IMO. Do people also factor in the next 5 years servicing too? I get that it’s a big bill but it’s part of owning these cars and most of us that own them now aren’t kids who can’t afford to...

Indeed, I don’t really know why it’s being lumped in with ‘influencer’ wanna be gangsta channels and whole rants about them. They couldn’t be further from what you guys are moaning about The accent comment was because they’re northerners (still bad I guess) not “u get me bro” menaces. Jay...
