Could anyone tell me if either of these would be ok to use when putting the plug back in? As far as I can tell the difference is size, if not i'll have to get off my arse and go Renault (I just like being lazy and ordering off ebay lol) (unless anyone has a couple to sell me) 14x21x2...

Just wondering really if anyone who changes the oil regular on their track car changes the filter every time. I know they're only cheap and was just a thought too see what other people do I've just bought a few genuine oil filters of eBay for keeping on top of the engine oil changes.

Quick one I have a set of carbon Lorraine pads which had plenty of life left in them BUT I think I have a slightly warped drivers side disc as when I was filtering in traffic back from Oulton park I could hear a very faint squeak..............squeak.................squeak at low speed and when I...

Can you get a fuel filler cap that doesn't need a key that I can use mainly for when I'm at a track day.

Well I'm hopefully doing the fluids on my 172 Cup track car (Engine Oil, Gearbox Oil and Coolant) and was wondering as I cant decide what brake fluid to use, I have mates who do sprints and track days who use either the Motul or Castrol (they run a Supercharged BMW Mini and an E46 M3) so I'm...

Well I did the CV boot on my passenger side last night and all was well did my track day at Oulton park today with no problems no knocking or anything (bar slightly boiled brake fluid on the last stint lol) anyway when I drove home with no issues I came to reverse up on to the drive and had what...

Cheapest place for these or should I just go a Renault main dealer? and does anyone know how much Renault charge?

Need to get this done tomorrow any ideas on if I can just go and get a boot from motor factors and how big a job is it? Cars on axle stand now and ready to go or wheels back on and take it somewhere tomorrow. Would rather tackle it myself as I want to learn.

Did one track day at Oulton with Carbon Lorraine pads on my shiny new white speed lines and they were coated with Gtechniq c5 and carlight/collanight (not 100% on the wax) endurance 915 and they have pretty bad staining off the brake dust but the front face where the wheel bolts go through have...

Still can't decide which one to go for, now I know these hold the wheels on so don't wanna buy cheapest just because I'm tight lol but price varies quite a lot. Ktec - £90 posted loctite supplied Pure Motorsport - £115 + postage loctite supplied eBay - Elite Developments £75 free postage just...

Well seems as the weather is that great I have a set of Michelin ps3 which I have done about 40 miles on now the car is on the trailer ready to go Oulton tomorrow will then lack of scrubbing in cause me any problem on track tomorrow? I have a part worn set of AD08r in the van 1.5mm on fronts...

Took the carpet and soundproof out and this was here just wondering if anyone knows what it's for. Gonna be bolting my cage down over weekend and if I get chance weld the spreader plates in place but they go where this cable runs I'm going to pull it out the way.

I have one on my 172 cup track car and it was on there when I bought it. My question is the cold air feed I have runs from the fog light up to to the ITG and I have read conflicting views on if its worth having the air feed running up to the filter some say it helps others say it just gets the...

Just wondering how big my spreader plates should be that go under the legs of my rear roll cage? As big as poss to spread as much load as possible? I'm not using box section as the cage fits upto the roof as it is so was going to make up some plates in work from what steel plate we have lying...

Fitted my roll cage in just too see where it all lines up and need one of those spreaders to well spread the front legs apart, as the passenger one is about 4-6" out of shape/position.

Just picked them up from the local powder coaters who will be doing my cage. A million times better than the idiot who refurbished them first and made a total mess of them (twice)

Any ideas how to secure it? I only refitted it back in last night went for a spin today now battery is recharged to see how it was going as its been sat for a few weeks. I unbolted the mount slipped the hanger back in and bolted up and it came out again. Any ideas would be helpful even if I...

went to pick up my refurbished speedline 2118's which were supposed to be done the week before Christmas and had to be took back due to big runs in the paint (they apologised and said I could have them back Christmas eve so told them I don't need them till Jan so take their time and do a good...

Would something like this be any good for mounting harnesses too would be fully welded on like in the picture. Mainly until I get a cage after I've done a couple of track days. My missus dad is a top class welder (highly qualified and experienced) so have no qualms with the quality of the work...

Well I'm going to hopefully soon be stripping my interior and carpets out my 172 and wanted to know if anybody knows where I can buy the things in the foot well of the picture I've attached? If not I may attempt to make my own with some ply and sandpaper type stuff like the Anti slip stuff they...

Eibach or Powerflex? Not sure don't think there is any difference between them adjustment/quality, just a few quid different in price which ones would you buy I can't think of any difference and pictures look the same lol probably all made in China and put in different packaging. I'm taking...

Bored in work so for future ref.... If I put new discs and pads on my 172 will they have to be run in for a gentle lap or two on the track day? Mine is road legal so I would probably do it on the road before I went to the track, plus I would be going out on a road test to make sure all is well...

Best place to get one cheap/free for my 172 as I'm hoping to TRY and do most of my maintenance and jobs that need doing myself. Cheers Stu

Managed to get the thing out but am I right in assuming that's a HID kit? So first question is do I replace the bulb and see how it goes come MOT time not sure how they are set up/aligned only the 2nd time I've driven the car and first time I have needed to use the lights and found the bulb...

As title really I fancy some gauges for the oil temp and pressure for my 172 track car and also a guide as to how to fit them (unless its simple) . I like the SPA digital gauge as you only really need the one and it looks tidy, is it just a case of oil filter off fit the sandwich plate and...

Well finally bought a 172 Cup to share with my Dad doing Track days and thought I would post some pictures up.. Took delivery from @Chi today and after biting the bullet and Insuring (£299 fully comp with Greenlight as a 2nd car) and throwing 6 months tax on (was going to do it monthly and just...

After some advice as to what you guys recommend for Track days and the odd fast road blast, 172 Cup with 15". I have two sets of wheels and ideally a set for dry and a set for wet conditions. Probably be doing my first track day this month or in January. Thanks. Stu

Well I'm getting ready to go and view a 172 Cup that I'm looking at buying for track use and trips to the Ring and was wondering if there is much difference and are the 197 worth the extra money over the 172 for example the 172 I'm looking at had 59k miles, Quaife Diff, BC Coilovers, 2 X Bucket...

Anyone recommend any decent places to have this done in the North West area. Cheers, Stu.

Hi guys was wondering what people pay for insuring their road legal track cars. I'm not a member YET as I'm only going to look at a car a member on here is selling on Sunday. But was wondering how much and who you guys use. I got a quick quote on go compare for a standard car (52 plate 172 cup)...
