Hi guys, I work with someone who knows his stuff about cars as he sets up and races MG ZR & MGF's as well as offering trackday driving instructions. he mentioned to me i could get a fairly good power gain by increasing the size of my single throttle body to that of a larger one. Obviously i...

have you checked your sunroof isnt leaking mate.

not sure mate i had it fitted to my saxo about 4 years ago when my car was broken into. i think they have change their systems now so you buy a basic one and add extras http://www.clifford.com/Products/Accessories.aspx

just seen this mate, i havent checked here for a while. I can find out for you if you still need them i have some old ones in the garage. heres a pic i took today as a little update to my thread

i had a clifford concept 650 on my old car which was pretty good. had dual zone proximity sensors which 'chirp' if people got too close to the car

Epic pictures buddy, i would love to do this type of thing if it wasnt for the risk of being shot or blown up. stay safe mate, James

thats ace, the guy standing in the road taking pics after the first few corners was a bit of a mentalist

Well i managed to obtain another press pass for silverstone :) so on Sunday i headed up to Silverstone for the Silverstone Classic event. Unfortunately the weather was pretty pap compared to last year where i got sun burnt. Anyways i have got far too many pics to post in a thread so please my...

i did mine like this

looks good buddy, glad your are finding them ok as it was difficult for me to tell how hard they are on standard wheels as im running 17's on low profile tyres

Re: Calling All Silver Clio's here you go mate

looks awesome fella, transforms the car. if you use the axel stands again you might want to place them on the chasis rails (you will see the box section which runs 3/4 the length of the car about 1ft in) just as the sills have a tendancy to bend

you will want some exhaust putty to get a good seal on any areas where one pipe connects to another

i went down to the haynes museum back in easter and it was a great place to go to and definately under advertised. if you guys opted to buy the charity entrance ticket then you can go back as many times as you want for the rest of the year and it cost the same price as the normal entrance fee

Rough prices i would have though about: 1 Front Bumper with all extras - £120 1 Rear Bumper with all extras - £80 2 Flared Front arches- £70 2 Side Skirts - £70 (plus side skirt clips - £15) obviously it depends on the market if there are lots of parts on ebay etc they may go cheaper, if...

i went to the renault world series too and seeing them in the metal im really not sure of the front of the new clios, i guess at least the stickers on the cup version hide it a bit, white looks cool bit unsure about the green, as a track / race car i think i looks ok but not sure i would...

looks good buddy is this properly carbon skinned or just carbon vinyl

thanks very much, im still unsure about the new clios, i think as cup cars they look ok as the stickers hide most of the front lol

here are just a few of my pics from the renault world series, the weather/ lighting kepting changing which was a bit of a pain and as there were so many people there you couldnt really move around much. it was more a case of find a good view and stay there. anyway my pics are best viewed in...

the reason why your pics are dark mate is the cameras metering gets fooled by large amount of white in the image and therefore stops down the camera to compensate. You will therefore need adjust the exposure value to counteract this, so EV +1 etc. The proper way to deal with this is to use an...

right i had a bit of time this evening so dispite the crap weather, decided to have another play with the rig as the low light ment i could try longer exposures. What do you guys think ? cheers James

i think it is the same as the chunky megane one but not 100% sure

yeah i tried to stop it downs as much as possible, but it was just too sunny, like i said i think some ND filters are needed. cheers Jaems

Decided to have another play with the rig this weekend, i need to get some ND filters though so i can cut the light down a bit for longer exposures, anyways reasonably happy with these. both images are the original capture with the rig cloned out rather than a static shot added over the moving...

yes mate, did you buy that as part of the kit along with the steel cabling or did you source them seperately, if so where did you find the pivot part from buddy cheers james

thats not too bad actually, how did you go about making the right angle bit, i assume its adjustable and you can lock it at different angles. cheers james

ah ok no worries was gonna say would have been a massive effort to source it all, how much did you manage to pick it up for if you dont mind me asking

that is awesome mate, glad to see my idea with the girder clamps worked ok, what is the hexagon bit used to join them i have been trying to find something similar. please can you pm me links for the bits. cant wait too see this in action cheers James

i think there is a tamron one as well but personally i would go for the sigma, i have heard/seen some good things about it

here you go mate, it was basically a case of clone other parts of the background / feathers over the cage nice pic by the way
