I can, but what with the impending bill of the gearbox build blah blah, and having to use the Cayman daily for at least the next month. (i do 300 miles a week)
Another 320 mile round trip isnt exactly appealing.
Very good chance i wont make this now.
My gearbox or diff has a bearing that doesn't want to play any more. Try as i may, i don't think i can get a new one built in time. Apologies as i was looking forward to catching up with a few folk.
Oil service on the daily today with the addition of fitting the @stahlbus dry-break oil valve.
This little chap replaced the sump plug and allows me to clip in an oil drain tube to perform an oil service. Upon making the connection it instantly drains the system. Upon removal the dry break...
focal do a lovely little amp called an Impulse 4.320.
Only change if make would be to have an Alpine headunit as I’ve always found them to be the best in terms of use and quality. But that’s personal preference and nothing more.
If you can, add some sound deadening to your doors when you add...
You’re paying £3k for the car and £3k for the red paint and numbered plaque.
I can understandably see the attraction of a Trophy but personally I think you either buy a minter and swallow the £10k-£15k that’s going to get you in one. Or you spend £6k on a mint 182 or much nicer 172 Cup and...
Sachs come up mate but not sure if want to go down that route if it were me anyway.
Sachs were a good damper at time of release but they’re certainly not the last word in dampers these days.
They’re expensive to source, expensive to service and have a very sporadic life cycle. Some last 5k...
This is the thing. They offer a lot of fun at sensible money, and although lots of other things may be faster, are they more enjoyable?
I think i know which yours was, although there was a couple of Cups there. Mine too runs a PMS exhaust but ive never heard it from the outside so no idea if its...
Likewise mate, i wasn't sure which car was yours or where you were. I've not got anything more booked at the mo but would like to if i can. Lifes busy at the mo so will have to see how it goes for time.
I want to get the Cayman out on circuit again too if i can, but the little Clio does so well...
Cheers fella, I agree they look great and must be doing a reasonable job getting some airflow in there. Without getting her in a test chamber with some airflow it’s difficult to say just how effective/ineffective they are.
I do very much feel at the limits of the brakes I have so something more...
Been a while since I've driven on track, (had a few cancelled trackdays due to C-19) but managed to get the Clio out at Snetterton on Tuesday.
There was a decent assortment of metal there inc many track/race cars, stripped out Minis, Clios, BMWs etc. The little Clio held its own very well and...
Sorry mate. I realised I’ve just typed a load of rubbish there. Brain says one thing, hands type something else. 😅😅
Correct there is nothing covering the bottom shifter linkage as stock or on the PMS. stock is a plastic bush, PMS is a sealed race.
What I meant to type was, I wonder if we could...
