    new rear brakes, handbrake

    I have just changed the rear brakes on my cup and all seems good. I have a small prob though for some reason the handbrake takes more clicks before it engages ( was about four clicks now about eight ) Is it normal to have to adjust the handbrake after new discs and pads?

    Cheaper rear brakes

    Recieved my rear discs and pads today. The discs come with bearings fitted and they do seem good quality (Prob made of cheese!!). Didnt fancy paying renault prices seeing im told the rear brakes dont take much punishment on the clio. Brakes international £110 inc Vat and delivery for discs and pads.

    cup fluctuating revs when coming to idle.

    My cup seems to be developing a prob. If you are coming to a stop and you depress the clutch the revs fall a way as normal but then shoot up to about 1400 rpm before settling back down again. The rpm does not fall away again normally either but in steps like 1400rpm, 1200rpm 1000rpm etc. The...

    knocking nearly sorted

    I used to have the usual knock under hard acceleration but was not bad and went away after a while. Anyway, since having my de-cat fitted it has upset the system big time and everytime i accelerated it started knocking heavily. It looked like the flange of the decat was hitting the subframe...

    Upper Gearbox Mount

    Just had a go at changing the upper gearbox mount and i have a small prob. Im having trouble undoing the big nut in the middle of the mount. Does it need air gunning undone. I have tried all my tools and just seem to get flex from the mount.

    De-cat fitted

    Had my de-cat (supplied by Gray) fitted today by carlton garages and the chap said to me he thought it was a good bit of kit. Anyway first impressions driving it some 70 miles home are good. Bit louder than norm but not too bad just made the ktec exhaust sound a bit more purposeful. Also it has...

    inlets or decat

    Im thinking of spending a little money on the cup but not sure what to do, or change car. I was thinking of either fitting a decat or getting the inlets matched (I have a non -RS manifold). Which would be more beneficial to start with? Or getting shot of the cup and maybe go for a alfa gtv v6 or...

    Good morning. Changed the oil yesterday and i usually always use valvoline 5w40 but my local motor factors and other shops had none, best they could do was shell helix 5w40 or valvo 5w50 racing so i went for the shell as it was a 5w40. Done a search after and read up on the fact its a...
