LOL. Become a member and you'll find all kinds of useful information. There are a few cage for sale thread but obviously I don't know if they are still available. Seeing as you're doing trackdays you'll probably want a proper cage rather than a cheap Ebay special for example. I got mine from...

Or using a heat gun.

Change the colour to what?

That bay looks seriously clean now!

Get some Xenons, or a HID conversion if that is not possible. I'm sure there are people on here who have done this already to their non sports.

Saw you going towards Croydon.

Sweet cheers Luke. Will catch up with the Brands races too :)

No, for such a crucial part of the car and it's well being you need to ensure you get high quality parts. Not that you can't get that on Ebay from specialist shops, but a lot of stuff on there could be miss-represented. Fakes/replicas/imports. I went for the Pure Motorsport ones. They have a...

He either lost it or got rid of it though from memory!

Rear Parcel Shelf I weighed at 680g

Weighed my rear seats last night. Double Bench section - 2.9Kg Single Bench section - 2.54Kg Double Upright section - 8.39Kg Single Upright section - 7.8Kg Was actually very surprised they weighted that much. Checked over again and again to be sure. Still convinced I've made a mistake...

Great pics. That is some serious curb hopping. I watched the BTCC race last night actually. But there was no footage of the Clio Cup or Porsches... Anyone know where I can find?

No, they bolt into the hub (on the front) Into the disc on the rear. Fitted mine last weekend.

Do you run longer bolts or a stud conversion mate? ​

Oh it's 1.5v ​Many thanks Tony

Some very interesting replies there Chip. I for one would be extremely interested in your findings if you were to go into more detail between 280mm and 300mm discs!

This the one you use for the car? http://www.maplin.co.uk/solar-powered-12v-2.4w-battery-trickle-charger-223251

All understood cheers :) I'm planning on running a cut off like you anyway Kelv so it shouldn't run down. Will look into the solar panel thingy too thanks Tony.

How do you jump start when you have a race battery. Say a Varley Ret Top 25: http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=692_694&products_id=4432 My jump leads have 'pinching teeth' and there is nothing to grab on those battery terminals. Anyone got a simple solution to this? ​Cheers

Another very kind offer from you there chip. ​You know ITBs is the way forward Kelv ;) I've heard nothing but good things about ED. Check out their FB page, some pretty interesting posts with details of projects. But as I said earlier and its clear my views are shared. Mike would be my...

My mate has an EK9. Various common mods and he's at about 200 bhp. Stripped out it probably weighs well under a tonne. So as you can imagine it goes very well indeed. Im not a racing driver and neither is he, both evenly matched. When our cars were almost standard I.e basic mods his car was...

Awesome. Just awesome.

I drove past you on the back of my dads bike on route to pick mine up. Then when I came out I noticed you were parked there too.

Coming along nicely man! ​

Lotus Exige. Vauxhall VX220. More of a light weight track focused car though but then where do you draw the line. Audi TT-RS, not entirely sure on the price but must be similar. Nissan 370z.. Then the hardcore variants like, Caterham and Atom.

Re: New to this but..PARTS FOR SALE! ​1.2

Re: Insurance claim advise My insurance didn't increase when I told them about an accident I had (non fault).

Yeah, why is the rear plate still on :S

I like that a lot, but it is a lot of money for a second hand tuned car. Even though it would cost a hell of a lot more than that to do it yourself. As Nick says, wouldn't fancy owning a KTEC car now anyway to be honest, would be too concerned about the mapping.

What a great little car, video looks great. Good driving Tony!
