Got some new White 2118's and wanted to know how best to protect them as they will be used on track so plenty of brake dust. Is there a recommended sealer and wheel cleaner you guys use. Cheers

I am considdering the hill climbing thing and am looking at classes and power to weight ratios trying to sus out my local competition. The Class B modified leaders are running a 106 Ralley with 190bhp and 692kg weight (275bhp/ton) without driver and also a 205gti 8v turbo with 324bhp/ton. To...

Anyone ever fitted this set up onto a 172 or 182? Easy to do and will the discs fit under 15" wheels?

Looking for some new rubber to wrap round my new 2118's and am looking for some recommendations. I had both R888's and A048's on my 16's and was pleased with both of them but can get a set of Federal RS-R's in 195 50 R15 for £250. The tyres will only be used on track so no issues with road...

Thought I'd get some data on brake disc temperatures at a track day as was at yesterday to see how much difference ducts actually make. I used an infrared laser thermometer and checked as soon as I could when I came off after 2 cool down laps after around 20 fast laps. Car is a 172 cup...

I have an RStuner that I want to get a map for that would suit a yozza decated system and a V6 airbox on a 172 cup. Can anyone tell me a map that would suit these mods the best and is there even one as specific as that? As you can probably tell I'm not too clued up on RStuners so any help or...

How do you tell the difference between their race systems and is it supersport systems? Is there any other types and do some have more frequent and difficult maintenance to be carried out? Cheers, Steven

Looking at fitting itb's over the winter and trying to keep an eye on what second hand parts that are needed. So far I know I'll need: 1) ITB's themselves (jenvey) 2) cable throttle pedal and cable 3) aftermarket ecu (omex, ec1, weber, etc) 4) sensors? (not sure exactly which ones yet but...

Guys, Another good track evening coming up on Saturday the 20th of August between 6pm and 8pm. The cost will be £75 per car and £10 per additional driver. Also, some of the very exotic cars may be doing passenger laps for £10 to raise money for charity. Get booked up as they are cracking...

Anyone fancy a 2 hr track evening at Knockhill tomorrow night? Always a good crack with the Trackscotland bunch and usually some good cars too. It is running from 6pm till 8pm so be there for 5.30 to get signed on. There are a few places left but it would be good to see a few more Clio's...

Do you think this piece of kit would allow a DIY'er to make suspension geometery chnages accurately: http://www.jjcraceandrally.com/Product.do?method=view&n=160&p=7162&utm_source=JJC1127&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=DunlopAlignmentGauge&dm_i=MZV,GTI2,3V9C79,1DEWH,1 After you've paid for a...

What is involved in balancing ITB's and how do you do it? Is there any specialist tooling or equipment required? Cheers for any info! :)

Fitted a new aux belt this afternoon and thought I'd check the tension using my new Renault tension meter. The manual says it should be 183Hz but I can't get it over 150Hz and that is seriously horsing it up to the point it feels like the belt is about to snap (probably not but it's tight...

Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the crank locking pins. I need diameters and length if anyone could help it would greatly appreciated! :D

I've got a 182 exhaust manifold and Decat link pipe to fit to my 172 ktec stealth system and want to get a custom map to suit. I would also like to change the stealth system to a yozzasport race system. If I was to get it mapped for the ktec stealth them change to the yozza race system later...

Which is best out them both to fit a Sabelt steering wheel to? Do they both work the same as each other?

How do A048's perform in the wet? Might be raining on Saturday for a track day I'm going to and want to use them on track over the PE2's as one is dodgy.

I have a 3 point Sabelt harness and cant decide where is best to mount the rear strap. So fas I have had them in the old seat belt buckle points and now I have them mounted in the sea belt recoil point next to the rear qtr windows. You could also use the rear seat beam mounting point but where...

Do you get longer steering wheel boss's? I want to get the perfect driving position and since i have made my own seat subframes with runners, I have the perfect seat position but the steering wheel is slightly too far away.

Is it just yozzasport themselves that sell the exhausts or is there anywhere else? Can't seem to get on to their website for some reason.

Thought I'd set about the cup and finally turn it into the track car it wants to be. Already fitted is: 1) Ferodo DS2500 pads front and rear 2) Brembo Max fron discs 3) Pipercross Viper 4) KTR Stainless Stealth My 'to do' list is as follows: 1) Strip it out (rear seats and carpet) 2) Fit...

As title. I was changing the spark plugs last weekend and noticed how bad it actually looks from upper to lower manifolds.

I'm looking to fit some luke 3 point harnesses that I bought on here but the straps are not long enough to reach the rear seat belt anchor points. Any ideas where I could get extensions or can I use a Crutch strap to reach it?

Probably just being daft but can anyone give me any pointers on removing the front seat from my 172 cup? Can't see any bolts holding them in, just rivet type things that I have no idea how to remove. Thanks

I'm looking for a good quality coilover that will turn my cup track car into track weapon. I like the look of KW variant 2's or some AST's but new they are too expensive for me. Would Bilstein B14's be a good compromise or would I need to change at a later date? Do you really need need...

How hard is it to swap an engine wiring loom over from an identical car? Are all the sensors easily accessible and are they all plugs? Cheers for any help as I know mine has a broken wire and think it would be easier to swap the whole thing than find the broken.

Is it as straight forward as swapping one out one in for an ecu from the same age of car with standard maps? What about ignition keys? Do they still work?

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the two for wiring looms and is the 172 cup different again? Cheers

Are there any? Or are there any Omex mappers atound this area that anyone knows of? Cheers, Steven

Driving home from work tonight giving it some beans and everything is fine when I stop at halfords to get some tooling. When I return to the car and try to start, nothing. Lights on the dash light up but the car doesn't even attempt to start. Headlights and the radio still work but nothing else...
