    182 gearbox plug.

    Hey all. looking at the wiring loom plug on the side of the gearbox, is this purely forte reverse light indicator? if so, considering removing this part from the engine harness as my interior car loom has already had the reverse light wiring removed anyhow. ​cheers

    Removing ABS completely

    I've had a bit of a search but all I seem to find is answers saying 'remove the fuse' and 'it won't pass an MOT' neither of these answers are suitable, the car won't ever be MOT'd and I do want to remove the complete ABS setup. I was just thinking, with the engine and box currently out of the...

    Rocker cover removal.

    How the fook do you get the rocker cover off? all bolts are removed, it lifts about half an inch but won't go any further. even the camshaft a look free, and I'd say even the pulleys, they lift about half inch but its then as if it purely won't go any further. no bolts are missed, everything...

    Engine Dynamics.

    Has anyone used Engine Dynamics for a nice engine build? i know they are possibly known under their previous name of BB Tuning from back in the 5GTT days. it would be nice to have some feedback about how you were treated, if you felt you had good value for money, if they catered for your engine...

    The trophy with 187k on the clock...

    I'm sure many will know of the trophy that once was Sir Daves, and then shortly Nick Cup's that was on 187k. many people joked and asked who would own it when it hits 200k, well today the chances of it finally making it to 200k on the same engine have come to an end. todays mileage as of 1...

    Changing the feed fuel line to the fuel rail.

    Anyone done it, easy job? I've not looked that closely at it yet, but not sure how far back, or the route the line takes from the rail. or, can up just change over the connection where it connects to the rail itself? Cheers.

    JMS ECU reflash/remap - decat?

    Possibly one for Chip or Mike as I know they have always been quite close to James (JMS). my trophy, going by the paperwork and a quick chat with Sir Dave, has a JMS 98Ron ECU file within it, but the details of said file are not known. the question is, would you know if this file is suitable to...

    Varley Battery's.

    Just a simple quickie... what size/rating battery have you track boys opted for? im thinking of the Varley red top 25, but a mate with a track based Cossie focus is saying i should go for a 40! to me I'd have thought the 25 would be perfect for the requirements of a clio. what are you...

    I'm sure I can suss it out, but how hard is the rear beam to remove? complicated task or more than easy for an average DIY'er? cheers.

    Gripper diff ramp angles

    For those running a gripper diff, what ramp angles/rates have you opted or, and how do you find it? this is for a purely track dedicated car, its road use is going to be between nothing and extreme minimal. cheers.

    Jamsport 4 pot kit - discs.

    Would anyone happen to know what discs Jamsport use for the Wilwood 4 pot kit? with my brake setup requiring a new set of discs for this kit, and knowing the discs they have used in the past are 5 stud items drilled to suit, I just wondered if anyone knew what discs they were that they use...

    Trophy suspension.

    Having just bought the trophy and the suspension changed the same day for the AST's, I then thought it logical to fit the trophy suspension to our other 182 cup. but now I'm wondering if I should have just put the standard suspension back on to the 182, as its possible that we will be...

    I'm just after opinions from those that have fitted the Pure motorsport front wishbone bearing and strengthening plates, and also the rear axle bearing conversion kit along with the stiffening profile kit. have you felt the benefits from the outlay and work involved in fitting them. good value...

    Rear coilovers, top mounts.

    Having just fitted a set of AST's, I've noticed that the main body that comes through the top mount is a couple of mm larger. I've drilled out the flat washer part of the upper and lower bushes that they attached through the turret to, but I'm curious about the small collar section that you...

    Cobra bucket seat subframes.

    For those out there that have used the low level cobra bucket seat subframes, can I ask what seats you have used with them. Ive just been told that they only sell them if you are already using cobra seats, as they won't fit othe seats (Sparco/Corbeau etc). Personally I'd have thought that was...

    STOLEN: Black WRC Escos, Reg B5 JAM

    Can everyone please keep their eye out for this, it was taken from a unit in Leek, Cheshire (just outside Macclesfield) at some time between 8pm and 10am this morning. Due to the complicated start-up process, it is likely to have been taken on a trailer / low-loader. Obviously it has many...

    Carbon roof

    Just a random one really. I'm going in to see my carbon man in a couple of hours, a guy that has made many carbon roofs and panels for many Ford RS cars over the years, including mine. I'm going to speak to him about making one for the Clio, but I was just curious if anyone else would be...
