    They're in 'season' now.

    Tim's SG 172

    Will do :) RC5+ don't and are a much better pad than the DS2500. The DS3000 and RC6 do though. I'll personally never use DS2500 again after they glazed at Oulton, they would fade for me on the road too. The RC5+ have a wider operating temperature, better brake coefficient and easier to clean...

    Tim's SG 172

    I could be tempted to part with my mint pro race 1.2s with AD08R for the right money. Car looks great in Storm Grey, I followed Faxos thread so I know you got a good car. Also consider some better pads for the front like RC5+, RC6 or DS3000.

    T4RKO 172 Cup

    If one cylinder is different on a pair of bodies and they have come from a running car the likelyhood is an engine issue whether its compression, fuel or spark. When setting mine up orginally I had one cylinder out, and when all my cylinders came out at 195psi I changed the injector and all was...

    T4RKO 172 Cup

    Have you compression checked all the cylinders and made sure all the injectors are working properly? Cylinder 1 being low could be either of those reasons.

    ITB'd Road & Track Ph1 Titanium 172

    Picked up a set of xenons for the Cup today whilst on a weekend away! However I'm going to go and look at a different car on Monday...see what I think of it. If I like it then I'll be breaking the cup for spares as well!

    ITB'd Road & Track Ph1 Titanium 172

    I'd need the sills as well. I know the rear quarters are available but didn't think the sills were.

    Crate engine

    Roughly how much is a standard bare F4R from Renault?

    GT86 Turbo Wide Body from Manila

    Like that! More track width required at the rear though.

    ITB'd Road & Track Ph1 Titanium 172

    Still have two parked cars next to each other in bits. Its dragging but I just haven't got the time at the moment to get both cars sorted :( I decided to get some photos of the Ph1 on its last hurrah at Oulton on the 13th. Then the G55 Ginetta came along very rapidly with roughly the same...

    Those Bridgestone are supposed to be quite good and they won't be list 1B

    You might get a bit more power at the very top end where the afr drops to 11.5

    Engine won't time/tension

    @Phase1sr had tension issues and needed a larger pulley
  19. Grandpa Joe

    Catcams 422 or 422 non vvt

    You need two exhaust cam pulleys. Time them up as per catcams specification and idle will be 1200-1400 rpm. Otherwise no difference

    The blue sleeper Dacia\Renault Logan

    Quite like this! A bit different. Can you get a Logan in the UK?

    Track Tyres - Feedback and Recommendations

    The MX is much more balanced. My friends MX runs RSRs and they are great on that but on the Clio the heavy front eventually gets the better of them. I'd say a good solution with the NS2R for the Clio would be 180 front 120 rear. But really I'd have to try them on track first, I'd be interested...

    2005 E46 M3

    I'm just put off by the potential costs of vanos, subframe, smg and paying for dealer servicing. But in all honesty the biggest issue is wife approval! She's not a car person

    2005 E46 M3

    I need an E46 M3. I keep debating whether to do it or not, I just need to. Don't think the wife will go for it though, in fact I know she won't and that judt makes me want one more!

    Clio 172 - Ph1 - ITBs

    I remember this car being for sale and nearly buying it. What happened with the bonnet pins for it to lift up? Also I can't see the extent of the roof damage very well, what does it consist of?

    Subframe / rack removal

    It's definitely spinning. I'll have another go tomorrow as a mate is coming over to help get the engine out.

    Ffs so the c***s at Renault decided on fitting a stud with a round head you can't stop spinning. French...

    Subframe / rack removal

    The subframe is hanging off, the only part still holding it on is the rack but I can't see where the rack bolts to the column. I thought it was the 13mm nut under the rubber gaitor on the rack by the bulkhead but I can't get that off because the stud spins and there's no way of holding it. So I...
