    Rolling road day

    £5.42 my bhp is bigger than yours.

    Winter Tyres - Are you?

    I have a set for my M3 and they work a treat. Even in the wet at anything remotely cool they are more confidence inspiring than summer tyres. More lateral movement though so you can't stick it in like you would have on summers. In snow and ice, I was driving up hills passing all manner of...

    Retardo fuel weight question

    Don't worry about it Son. You can't afford a full take at the moment anyway can you?!

    What about strong Velcro?

    Don't try this at home. No don't.

    Where on earth did you find the portrait of Phill?! (Doncaster_K9) Hey Clarence, you got a new toy! Can I playyyy?!

    No trackdays...ownership cost = £6,885.15 over 16k miles

    Might be a daft question but why do you care? If you can afford to tax and insure it, maintain and fuel it and most of all enjoy it which you clearly do, does 43p per mile really matter? Credit where it's due for working the figures through!

    Another Clio 172 Cup track/race build.

    I've just removed my phase 2 lower dash today if you still need one?

    ///M3 - a couple of new mods.

    12/15mm spacers and Matt black gills and it'll be bang on.

    197/200 inlet matching.

    I'd guess at smoothing running and maybe 1-2bhp. My 172 felt faster but in reality was just a little more driveable.

    My new rallye

    That sounds like you're essential shopping list ;) Plus others! Still need to meet you and the Saxo Jim so we can mock PC G.A.Yates

    M3 now on 19's

    Get those Depos off!The 19's look great in the anthracite. The winters are great for grip but there's a lot more lateral movement. I'd say you're a bit early for winters tbh.

    My new BMW (F30) 328i M-Sport BSM + Coral Red

    That looks well. Very evolutionary styling (which is no bad thing). E90 shell with F10 rear lights and a new front end. This makes me very excited about the new M3!

    Parts needed for battery installation in the boot?

    You've been researching Cortes! Good work.

    Underseat Wiring

    Does removing this wiring bring on th airbag light if you've disabled the pretensioners with an RSTuner?

    Removing the heater...couple of questions

    I'm not sure why weight of the driver is relevant. I weigh "the wrong side" of 15 stone due to being as wide as I am tall. It doesn't mean 50kg lost from the Clio will not make a difference. If I could remove an arm to knock 20kg off my body weight I would but sadly that's not an option.

    How would I go about doing this..?

    Absolutely not worth it. I paid £1k for my 172 which is less than you'd pay to fit the brakes, coils and engine to a 1.2. In fairness, a tidy 1.2 is probably worth as much as a 172 these days so trade the 1.2 in and spend the money you were going to waste on the 1.2 on insuring the 172.

    TRAX12 - Best of Rest

    I do appreciate the slightly less over the top examples but it is called Tracks spelt by an illiterate.

    Preventing steering wheel melting?

    Fit an OMP Trecento and leave the standard wheel in your wardrobe?

    A lot of VW inspired form over function tat kicking about there.

    Sold the house - cash in pocket

    Not sure why rental property is being suggested so often. It's a good deposit admittedly but there are much less time consuming ways to make a few quid. Plus your years margin won't be wiped out when you need to buy a new boiler. And the presence of a mortgage on the rental property could...

    Finished my track project (minus the rollcage)

    Looks well. Is the slam panel a structural part?

    What does a Cup compensator valve look like and where exactly is it located?

    Thanks Guys. The Tilton looks great. So I definitely shouldn't fit a compensator? What would be the implication of fitting the master cylinder and servo only as a temporary measure?

    What does a Cup compensator valve look like and where exactly is it located?

    I've bought a Cup non ABS setup from ebay but they seller says his mechanic can't find the rear compensator. What does it look like and where exactly is it located?

    Another Clio 172 Cup track/race build.

    Those fibreglass panels look like parts from Hal? Just picked a bonnet and boot lid myself. You fitted them yet?
