You say bimmec are the same as PMS stud and nut?

2 problems with 16's. Tyre price and scraping arches. Cant stand scraping, if it scrapes youve done something wrong.

Nice! Yea that's what I've done with the other set with slicks. Weve got number 97 of the new GP's on site. I'll get a picture of it tomorrow. I did think about getting a mini seen as though I can get parts at cost +5% at work but I've over taken too many on track to make the jump. If I come...

Just track wheels doesnt mean they have to look tatty. Theres only 2 reasons that wheels should get damaged. 1 if you are wheel to wheel racing in a competitive race. 2 if you f**k up on track and vin it into the gravel. So I will do these gloss black aswell and fit the red decal again. They...

It's almost like you dont know me at all! 🙄

Wheels have arrived 😁😁

Its always better to hit rust asap the longer you leave it the smaller the chance of a simple repair. Sand blast or at a minimum wire wheel the pitting. If you leave any corrosion it will come straight back. Inside your panels use cavity wax, warm it up first so it runs into all the gaps. Your...

Milk goes in after the tea has stewed and the bag is out

I thought It was a good plan personally. But I'll have to make the brews because only a Yorkshireman can make one properly.

Show Ktec and PMS how it should be done

We should start a company Mark. You do the mucky work and I'll do Bodywork

Haha carona virus has made everyone crazy!!

Thankyou for the compliment. I think

Here we go....🙄 What's up with your face today Mark?

That was my first propper moded car. Spent hours smoothing the plastic arches and side skirts into the 1/4s and wings. F50 bonnet with bad boy headlight extensions and the front and rear fibreglass bumpers. Think the wheels were 100+ milli amiga or something

Haha you crazy!! I've had a purple corsa b 1.6 sport. And a purply blue 200sx s14a

Currently I've got red and silver going on.

I'm going to do the rear axle soon. Blast it, PMS plate it then red powder coat it. 5mm spacers with the correct ° to straighten my rear axle up and camber. It's as cheap to replace the rear struts than refurbish them. Not sure on the rear spring rate yet, maybe 450lbs. Whilst the rear is...

Ok I will look into it. What thickness is your Ti plates?

So that last update pretty much brings me up to date now as the car sits. I took it to work the other day for ride out aswell. In between all these bloody storms! And I just bought some more 2118's that I will do black like the others and fit the red decals again. I'll fit probably some...

More weight and faster car I suppose

Yours should be on 4pot ally calipers? They dont normally get as hot?

I'm guessing the guy who bought the suspension originally must have got the standard spring rates as seen below I had excessive role and understeer not skipping, usually if you are skipping across the track you are setup too hard and bouncing on the tyres. So coming out of a corner and...

To be fair the CL range is on copper backing plates for that very reason I imagine.

The after math of the day at Croft. Everything worked well. No dramas at all. After pushing the meg 225 on and him having to let me past it's clear it's a quick car now. I got everything unpacked and back into the shed then set about cleaning the ferrous brake dust off my shiney black...

Which? What? Where? When?

The first time I tested the clio at Cadwell when I had bought it, the Golf would pull away from me coming out of corners. Partially the bigger torque it has but then he had a diff and stiff suspension. Since the slicks, bigger poundage springs, role centre/bump steer kit and the gripper, I can...

It has schrick inlet and cams think it's running 240+, brand new BC coilovers. Like I say hes been developing it for 15 years. It was his first car.

The Gripper diff and the bump steer/role centre kit probably the slicks aswell have totally transformed the way it drives! The grip is unreal, if it did start under steering just give it some gas and the diff worked its magic and pulls you back into the corner. The 550lb springs I had fitted to...
