don't try cleaning it - there'll be nothing left....

I need a full new set of wheel bolts for my cup. What are my choices? Does anyone do strengthened ones for circuit cars? I snapped a couple last time out on track (overheated wheel bearing/hub) so I'm feeling a bit cautious! If not, best place for standard? Cheers

Cheers fellas.

Evening all, before I put these up in the 'for sale' section I was wondering how much I should be asking for! No pics yet, but they are four black speedline turbines, straight with no buckles or dings. They have been sprayed over in metallic black but realistically they need a refurb if...

Yep - ordered from Euro. Should have been in stock for £48 plus VAT & delivery, but they didn't have them in so £61 plus VAT & delivery (not sure why, but they're the only place I can get them and its waaay cheaper than Renault who wanted £192 plus VAT). The throat'll be fine in no time. My...

I've just ordered thanks Ross - have to wait 3-5 days for the flange though (stop sniggering at the back there).

I get it! cheers

Should have - but I'm stuck at home with laryngitis at the minute - I can't speak! Looking at this between checking my work emails!

cheers BB

Oh, len - I can't describe the hub flange as I haven't taken it to bits but I'm sure someone else will be along soon...

Sorry to hear that BB, sounds like I got off very lightly, especially since I was doing about 90 through Craner Curves at the time.... I will ring euro car parts tomorrow. thanks for that. Exactly what I needed to hear. Cheers Tom.

Think I'll probably get a new one then. I want to keep the car right and I haven't compromised on any other bits. Shame to spend the money though as I was thinking about selling it!

I might try some renault breakers, but I was hoping someone on here might have one 2nd hand. Otherwise it looks like I'll have to go to Dick Turpin Renault down the road.

Afternoon all, I had a slightly dodgy wheel bearing when I went to Donington last Tuesday. It quickly became very dodgy, as a result of which as well as the knackered bearing I now have two broken wheel studs, a broken wheel and a broken hub flange. I guess that'll teach me. Studs, wheel...

Get some black turbines like mine. Everybody on here loves them!

Wheel trims on my track wheels - now there's an idea...

I prefer the turinis TBH. These are just a cheap set of track wheels, I can't decide if they ming or not. I think they probably do, but I'm interested to hear either (a) just how badly people think they ming or (b) if I am a car styling genius who is way ahead of his time.

The turinis are going back on as soon as I've finished at Donington on Tuesday then!

Thanks for the kind words fellas - I can tell you love them! I can confirm that they are quite heavy and that brake cooling seems fairly pants too. Somebody must like them?

Can't make up my mind if they are OK or if they just ming! http://bookatrack.com/-PG?bigbird&3325&27118&640&.jpg Your votes please... I still have the turinis BTW, these are just a 2nd set.

OK Fred (and everyone else), question for you along this theme. I've got a set of 16" turinis with 195/45/16 Toyo T1Rs on them and a set of old turbines with 195/50/15 Yoko Paradas on them. I bought the turbines as track wheels, but now I've got them I realise they're heavier than the...

Just goes to show that I know diddly squat!

Bung some Eibach Sportline springs on it to start with (c.£150), and uprate the dampers if you can afford it! Don't know about the wheels, but I would think they'd be fine. I've got old valver wheels on my 172 atm, and I'm pretty sure ph1 OZs would fit my car so I don't see why it shouldn't...

I've got a spare set of silver 16" turinis from my 172. They've got Toyo T1Rs on with loads of meat left on them. No centre caps though, and they're a bit chewed round the edges from the previous owner's bad parking. Nice wheels though, and completely straight though with no dents or buckles...

Cheers. The springs haven't settled yet so no point posting pics. A bit lower at the front already but they were only fitted yesterday so I think they'll have a way to go yet. Sportlines do offer a better ride than the standard springs IMO - just feels a little bit more civilised. Can't...

Don't bother with the OMPs IMO. They're cheap but I torched mine in no time on track and I don't drive that hard. I've got DS2500s now - I'm much happier with them and they are lasting well.

OK - I've just fitted sportlines to my 172 cup and I'm not blown away but I'm pretty impressed - they don't seem any stiffer but give a better quality ride than the standard springs - maybe it's because they weigh a ton! They have yet to settle and I haven't taken it on track with the new...

thanks fellas - I'll set aside 20 mins this weekend lol.

Have unbolted the damper most of the way but not fully (as on fubar's guide). So do I need to unbolt it fully? If I do then is it easy enough to bolt back together? Cheers

Hmmm. I've tried all this and have given it a right old heave but it just won't budge!
