I have just fitted my new Spa gauge and I have to set the alarm for the low and high oil temp and pressure. What are the correct operating temp and pressures and what would you set the lo and high to?

I am thinking of getting a oil cooler, where is the best place/cheapest to get one from? I want one with a thermostatic sandwich plate, as for braided hoses are they needed?

:cool: Just test fitted my wheels that I have had powder coated, i'm pleased they are very bright but the camera does not give a true colour every picture is different

Just got my wheels back from the powdercoaters but they did not mask the hub face or the bolt holes up :angry: so that has left me with a job to do. Any suggestions on what is best to clean the powdercoat from out of the wheel bolt holes, the hub mount face I will just use a DA sander and some...

I have a black safety devices cage, I have been thinking of having the cage powder coated Fluorescent orange as I have various parts sprayed that colour. I am worried it may be a bit to bright inside the car and cause reflections on the screen, anyone got a bright cage and what are your...

Can somebody change my wheel colour to the same orange as my mirrors and badges, also do one the same colour orange as the attached picture. Thanks

Just wondering what oil type and grade you use and how often you change it. Last year I was using Elf 5W 40 and changing it after every full trackday. Would I be better off getting a better quality 5W 40 and changing it every second or third trackday

I have been thinking of fitting some throttle bodies to the track car. I like the look of the Ktec kit as everything is in one package, also like the ECU as I really hate wires lol, is it really as simple as unplug the standard ECU and plug into the Gen90? I have my airbag lights turned off...

I need to do something with my brakes for next year, I currently have a problem with them vibrating under heavy braking on track. I have found the slider pin holes in the carrier are elongated so I either need to replace the carriers with some new ones and probably new pins so a cost of around...

A few photos from the Rally last weekend

Here is a few photos from the Rally over the weekend. It was nice to see a F15 fly over too but it was a bit high.

I have been thinking recently it is probably a good investment to get a dash cam, I want one that is small enough to be hidden away behind the rearview mirror or fitted at the top of the screen without looking messy also it would ideally be powered by a USB so I can hardwire it into the car. I...

Over the last two trackdays I had had issues with my brakes vibrating when braking from high speed on a track, they stop the car fine. When I am on the road the brakes are fine no issues at all. I have had a look at them today and found that the slider pin in the top hole is wobbly (as in the...

Just watched this Stunning cars shame they cant build cars like that today.

I am trying to find the negative wire of the 3 that connect to the coil, I know 1 should show 12V. I have put a multimeter on all 3 with the ignition on and all are showing 0V? The car starts and runs fine and when running I am getting a reading of 14.??V on all 3. Anybody got any ideas?

When I was doing Oulton last week I had a vibration under braking like a warped disc but it did not do it on the way home at normal speeds. I did Bedford yesterday and the same thing happened again, used two different set of wheels and tyres so I am ruling out something to do with them. I did...

Anyone got a sequential shift light. After Oulton I have thought it would be a useful addition, so I am thinking of the Omex one. It seems pretty easy to wire up just a ignition live a ground and coil pack negative, any idea which wire that is of the 3?

My track car has its first MOT due soon, but I have been to a few places to ask about it as it does not have any seat belts (only 6 point harnesses) , airbags etc but most don't seem to know how to do a MOT on a track car. How do you get on testing yours, and does anyone know a good place to...

Just test fitted my new set of 15" Pro Race 1.2 with Dunlop DZ03G tyres. These are going to be my dry set up and using Federal RSR's for when it is wet.

Anybody have opinions of the tyres. These will be for dry use only as they are going on a second set of wheels, as I have Federals RSR for getting to the track and if it is wet. The Dunlops are about £450 for four but the Marongonis semi slick are about £330 for four and the Dmacks are about...

I am getting a second set of wheels for my track car (brand new 1.2's) in white. I would like them in orange but Rimstock only do them in batches so a very long wait. Anybody have any ideas how much it would cost to paint 4 15inch wheels in fosus st orange?

I am after some slightly longer nuts for my wheel studs to make it easier to screw them on by hand. Has anybody used the Racing Composite R40 nuts? They look quite good steel nut with a separate rotating aluminium seat...

Had a bit of time today so made myself a new saddle for the Halfords trolley jack. Now I am getting a second set of wheels I will need to take a jack with me to tracks so it was either take my big sealey jack or this. I have never liked the saddle on these as it is too small so found some steel...

Has anyone got a bracket drawing or cad file for the brackets to fit some Wilwoods.

My clutch pedal started creaking when I was doing a trackday a few weeks ago. It started when the engine bay was very hot but the next day it had stopped. Is there a point that needs re lubricating?

anyone got any pics of the wheels fitted in 15" I have found a few but not sure they are 15" ideally with the wheels in white on a black car Thanks

I am getting myself a second set of wheels, but not sure what to get. The car is a track car but driven to and from the track. Currently have a set of 7x15 pro race 1.2 in anthracite with Federal 595 RSR tyres which will be used for road and wet and damp days. I am getting a second set for just...

Black not sure if it is a 172 or 182 with green mirrors and badge and green sidelights heading towards Shrewsbury

I am looking for a new pressure gauge but want one with a air release to make it easier to set the correct pressure at trackdays. I have seen THIS one and it looks to be the same as the sealey one almost twice the price SEALEY anyone using one of these or what do you recommend

I decided to remove my rear wiper today and instead of just using a grommet I decided to smooth it out. steps taken I sanded the lump off Blocked the hole off with some plastic and bonded it in to the back face Used P38 body filler to fill the hole sanded smooth Plastic Primed Filler...
