I have Sportline springs and I have downsized wheels to Oz F1s with R888s. Do I need camber bolts or not? I was thinking they might help maintain more even tyre wear and be more suited for my track car. But I also use it for small a-b journeys as well as getting to and from the tracks also...

So I've got two sets of wheels. Road and a track set. Recently had Sportline springs fitted but I haven't had it tracked/aligned since.. Should I take it to get tracked/aligned with my track wheels on? Will that just be ruined once I change back to my bigger road wheels? Cheers

What pressure should they be at for road and for track use? Similar to standard wheels? Set mine at 27 for now as I didn't know, not using them until 3rd Nov at Bedford apart from a small test next weekend to make sure there are no problems... I'm assuming for track use they would be similar...

Found this old video of my evening session from Brands Hatch earlier on in the year. Car was completely standard then apart from a K&N panel filter, but still went really well! Nothing too interesting but worth a little watch if you're bored at work like me.. The sound seems to go a bit out...

Both are technically illegal apparently. Anyone object to that statement? If they were the same price which would you go for and why? I know my mate went for a decat simply because he was skint and didn't have the money to buy a cat! Was planning on getting a Milltek sports cat. But the...

I'm after a set of these. Wondered where's best to buy them. I've come across a few posts for group buys on these and discounts offered from some members. Is there anything along these lines actually happening? Remember some members mentioning they can get very cheap prices from their suppliers.

On the last session on my last trackday my brakes felt really odd. Under high-ish load they were making the whole car really judder. At first I actually thought I had a flat tyre, that's what it felt like. It was really off putting. So naturally I stopped and had a little inspection to see...

I can't take credit for writing this one but I found it interesting:cool: Thought I'd post to let the experts agree or disagree with it. A short guide to tire pressure Contact! firstly, the goal of tuning tire pressure is to gain as much of a contact patch as possible for a given situation...

Are these decent wheels for track days? I'm looking at some to whack some track day tyres on. I know they are 15" so tyres are a little cheaper but is there any other benefit or drawbacks? Cheers

So my hubs are looking rather rusty. Thought I would spend a good few hours rubbing them down and re-painting them in the next couple of weeks. I've definitely got OCD. I'm undecided on the colour. I have standard anthracite 182 wheels. I think silver will be too light looking through the...

Chaps. Just wanting to confirm a few things. I wanted to tighten up my ARB to the stiffer setting. I believe this is the one closest to the bar ?? But could someone explain why moving to another bolt hole just centimetres along would make any difference what so ever ?? Also. To get it...

Is it just the wishbone bush kit which needs some welding done? Or do you need to for this engine dog bone mount kit too? I was going to attempt the dog bone one myself. But won't bother if it needs some welding?? Might sound silly but do you need to hold the engine up or support it when...

So yeah I'm fitting my Eibach Sportlines soon. I don't really understand the difference between laser alignment, tracking, or geometry. Would do I need to do after fitting new springs? Can anyone recommend a decent place in the Croydon, Surrey area? Only place I know of is Kwik Fit and I...

I used the lovely weather yesterday as an excuse to get out and give my car some attention. Fitted my new bucket seats (thanks Jamie86) and harnesses (thanks jamesstone). Also gave her a proper good clean up and polish. Took a long long time but I'm glad I got it all done. I know how...

Waiting for mine to be delivered and lost for ideas where to fit it. So if you have any pics of yours where they are sitting then I would love to see. Cheers

I spent Saturday afternoon fitting the passenger Sparco seat I bought ages ago. And as expected I had a light pop up on the dash. The Airbag light... So how do I get rid of it?? What do I do with the wires I unplugged from the standard seat? Do I just leave them loose underneath? Do I...

See you driving along the Addiscombe road quite often in the evenings. Going towards Trinity from Croydon. Saw you Tuesday night. Think you saw me starring at your car as I was crossing road.

God it's F**king addictive!!!!!!!! I've only had the car 5 months now. Already I've spent £1700 quid on it, just on little upgrades. Still have loads more in a basket on the K-tec site and I still haven't even started with the engine yet. I get excited thinking of doing the next bits and...

It was in the lower boot lining (ish). It was rattling like a B*tch so I took it out. I am just interested to find out what it's for. Looks like some kind of air vent with a flap. Cheers

So my car had it's service recently. My mechanic/mate checked for fault codes as I was having some problems with dash lights. A few faults popped up which he doesn't know too much about. I'm not sure on the exact info or details as my dad collected the car and spoke to him. He wrote them...

Decided it's about time I got my self one of these. And secured it in the car somewhere. Where do you guys put them and how do you secure them in place? Haven't got my seats fitted yet, so don't know how much room I will have underneath, if anything. Cheers

So the Service light and traction control light keep appearing on my dashboard. Even though I haven't touched the ESP button. It's been happening a lot now. The lights do disappear for a while though when I turn the car on and off. They first popped up on the way home from a Brands Hatch...

Probably a boring topic for most. But I've been playing around with quotes online and just thought I'd share some findings. If anyone has declared modifications then you'll know there's all kinds of silly tick boxes. I wanted to find out how some common ones would affect a quote. I chose...

Right so I've got some decent Sparco bucket seats (thanks Jamie86) I have many questions so wonder if anyone who knows more could advise me. They've come out of a Saxo. So I've got Saxo frames and sliders I think. I'm told the sliders are universal anyway. How hard would it be to drill more...

I'm after some of these. Will they just be a straight swap from standard springs? Or will I need to get wheel balancing or re-alignment too?? Thanks

So I got all my lines fitted last week. I can clearly see the lines on the front from looking through the wheels. But I cannot see the ones on the back. I am however assuming that 2 of the 4 in the pack were actually for the rears? If so, is there some kind of rubber cover which slides over...

Just had my Brembo discs fitted. The mechanic told me to keep the standard discs as they were in great condition. The guy before me had just fitted brand new discs and pads all round literally before I bought it. They have done about 5k miles. Still looking decent to me but I'm no expert...

So my car was booked in today to get my Milltek cat back fitted. :cool: Turns out the standard system on there has been heavily welded together everywhere possible. Guy said it's bomb proof. Also, that to get my standard back box off the cat will probably have to come off too. And that even...

Chaps, Car is in the garage today getting all my bits fitted. However my mechanic just called my dad to say that he's seen these lines: not work before, go floppy or something and something about not as good as the standard ones. Not sure exactly what was said but you get the gist. I told...
