Are these any good and is the polish/wax ok for a Black car? (not my Clio) It has a fair amount of swirls and a couple of stone chips that need touching up, I'm new to all this cleaning (properly anyway) lark and fancied getting a kit and having a crack at it. My dad is into detailing lol but he...

As title really I have a Ph2 172 Cup and bought some OZ F1's for track and was under the assumption they were a direct fit? Or do I need to use spigot rings with them. Cheers lads Stu

Seen this car with someones missus in the passenger seat (wasn't perving was looking at the car lol)

Was on a trailer being towed by a VW Transporter. I went past in my brothers Crafter was North bound about 11pm. Think.the name on the windows was Blythe can't remember the number.

Fancy some decals or stickers to make my track car stand out a little and look a bit more #racer lol was gonna advertise my brothers plumbing business or my parents computer business on the car along with a number or something.

Used these before and had no problems just seen these and thought they were pretty cheap so I would post them up. (also if wrong place or better suited to Track Tyre thread in the Race/Track section please feel free to move)...

How do those of you who run CL pads fit them? With or Without the little clips to stop the pads rattling? Mine are currently fitted with the little clips/shims and have been since I bought the car with them on. But was wondering if I should leave them out or just refit them like they are at the...

Wanting one of these just in case mine won't come off by hand when I try it. Like this

Currently running CL6 and was debating on just getting them again as I find them good. Or trying something else to see how they compare the CL, looking at likes of the Ferodo DS3000 / DS 1.11 or (I know the DS 1.11 are more expensive price but are they worth the extra) or the anyone tried the...

Have some melted rubber on the rubber side wall (pic is worst one) and about 2-2.5mm of tread approx across the tyre. Not sure if just melted a little or pickup off the track? Seen similar for sale and just wanted too check. Cheers

Are they worth it and what's the benefits? I'm thinking of having mine done when I have the track rods/ends done in the next couple of weeks. Mainly a track car but if the standard rubber ones are good enough I may spend the £100 that the bushes cost on something that I would benefit from...

I had my car set up a while back at Blink and I needed some rear shims too sort out the toe but I'm looking for shims and don't want too buy the wrong ones. Below is my printout I was given and as you can see the rear toe on one side is out or in lol so I'm going too have it redone soon as I'm...

Anyone know what size the hole is where the brake line attaches on 172 calipers I want to spray mine in the next few days and was going to just put a bolt in the hole to make sure no paint gets in and somewhere to hold them up with some wire while I spray. (Not being lazy lol I'm at work and...

Mine is like tin foil and worn through in some places and was forever having to lift it back into place at Oulton the other day and noticed it a few times before this, is it easy to replace or what can i use too hold it back out the way as every time i push it back it just falls down again.

Jumped in the car too go for a quick drive after been at Oulton on Wednesday and parking it up when I came home not touched it since (had NO issues at Oulton all day) got about 1/4 mile down the road only going slow as car was cold and it's raining and all of a sudden dash seemed too power down...

Which one would you use and would i need to use a primer once my calipers are sandblasted was gonna acid them but local place charges a tenner to sandblast, Can't remember what you @bloke said about the primer lol (memory like a sieve)...

I've got the check engine light on but have no symptoms for anything no miss fire or lack of power had no issues lately. Any things too check that could be causing it. And also is there any diagnostics I can run and a cable that plugs into the car? (like for VW i have VAG com which I plug into...

Dad had these done for his car (now the wheels/tyres are worth more than my track car lol) think they were about £150 ish a wheel not 100% sure first pic is crap lol (I didn't take it) but the other two are decent.

Anybody recommend any VERY GOOD detailer's in the north west area I have used a few so far between me and my dad and just not been impressed for £500+ they charged even on brand new cars that were done in the dealer before hand over and needed minimal correction. Just trying to gauge now as I'm...

I have cleaned as much of the crap and old paint and freed off the seized slider on the set of calipers I have bought for attempting to refurbish myself but I think they need sandblasting to bring them up cleaner. Any ideas on what I need to do before I have them blasted as in holes to block up...

*VERY PIC HEAVY* Pictures from my trip to the 85th Geneva Motorshow. First few are the Renault then the rest lol Photobucket uploaded them all in any order it seemed to want so they're not in the best order. About 200 pictures (have LOADS of the new R8 V10 plus as my dad has a 63 plate V10 plus...

I'm hopefully going to be refurbishing a set of calipers and painting them. I was just wondering how to stop all the fluid coming out as with the standard rubber hoses you just clamp them but I have braided hoses on and wondered if I clamp them will it ruin or cause a weak spot in the braid...

I'm on the lookout for some CHEAP calipers to have a bash at refurbishing for my PH2 172 track car and was wondering if they are all the same throughout the 172/182 and cup/non-cup cars or even PH1 if they will work on a PH2. Helps widen my options if they all fit. Thanks guys.

Well I've sold my BMW as it was a diesel and I no longer commute to work far enough to justify having it (5 miles round trip lol sometimes I push bike it) and I have really enjoyed using my 172 on track although not so much on the road due to the squealing pads but that's the only thing that I...

Am I right in assuming the headlights from any PH2 Clio will fit my 172 Cup.. I need some for my MOT soon on my track car and seen some from a 2003 Clio and was going to buy them. Stu

Just wondering as I was going to get some pipe to put on the end of my funnel so I can fill my gearbox up easier when I change the oil. Thanks.
