    Aftermarket steering wheel

    The horn cable is easy to get through the OMP boss but the air bag ones are more difficult but still easy enough. I hear it's more to do with the traction control steering sensor that causes a problem with the OMP but not with the MOMO.

    Oils

    How often do people change gearbox oil and what type?

    Finally got my Speedlines refurbished

    Look great. I have just bought white wheels and am worried race pads will ruin them. I am hoping a bit of wheel wax and regular cleaning will prevent this.

    MSA Roll Gages

    It is a very nice cage. Just the issue of painting to look into with that one.

    Oil Catch Tank

    Would this be allowed?: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-2-Litre-Alloy-Oil-Breather-Catch-Tank-Can-with-Filter-/361040057512 Seems much cheaper than the likes of Mocal etc and looks like it would do the job.

    Oil Catch Tank

    Thats even worse. Going to have to wait until I have the ITB's on and relocated the battery and then work out the best place to fit it.

    Track Tyres - Feedback and Recommendations

    I have been looking at R888 this morning on eBay and even ones with a few mm tread on them are still being sold for the same price as the Federal's and Nankang's. Are you better off with a better performing second hand tyres or compromise some performance for new tyres that will last much...

    15" multi fit oz f1 spigot rings please help?????

    I didn't realise there was more to it that that. Apologies if that is the case. Do the F1's not have the standard bevel to allow you to use universal spigot rings?

    Correct: Minimum tyre width185 Ideal tyre width195, 205 Maximum tyre width215 I was getting confused and for some reason. Still going for 195 though to make sure clearance is ok and they are cheaper. For what I will be doing over the next 12 months I don't think I will notice much difference...

    A member called ProjectGT said the following regarding them: "Do NOT waste your time on these tyres. A friend and I went to the 'ring last month, both of us purchased clio 172 phase 1s and these tyres in the 120 compound. Quickest lap was a 9:08. Had we had Toyo 888 tyres, we would have been in...

    MSA Roll Gages

    Powder coated and ease of fitting are the pro's but the con is a cage that doesn't help hold the shape of the A pillar in a roll, brings the crumple zone closer to the drive and passenger and doesn't look as tidy in the car.

    I was referring to the soft compound. I am just going to go with the medium with 86 load index.

    Oil Catch Tank

    I am looking at an alloy catch tank and was going to get one with one inlet and a breather. I see there are plenty of available with two inlets so just wanted to check there wasn't anywhere other than the engine breather than goes to the catch tank...

    Race Battery

    I might even get the kit with the cage, bracket and charger so I can have it on a dedicated charger all the time when the car isn't in use. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PVR22-Clubsport-Race-Battery-Bracket-Charger-Saxo-106-205-Gti-XR2-Stockhatch-/161223622368

    Race Battery

    That looks like the PVR option is hand down winner but there may be more to it than that depending on the quality of the battery. Paying for the Brand with Odyssey or better material? Have PVR had these made up in the far east by a similar manufacturer and branded them as their own? Might be...

    At the moment I am using the car for 500 mile round trips on the motorway so didn't want to waste track tyres or pads. I was thinking if I booked a track day and it was wet I could just use my normal road tyres. If it was nice I would put the track wheels on. Same applies if it was a nice...

    I have two sets of wheels, one of which will be used on the road with Bembro pads and one set for the track with RC5+ pads. I am thinking of Rainsports for the road and wet tracks and some semi-slick for dry track days.

    What do people use in the wet for track/race? Are Rainsport 3's suitable for actual racing?

    MSA Roll Gages

    I like the look of the "proper" ones more actually as they follow the lines of the shell better. Dash dodgers look easier but like they are not quite right. The only reason I was doing dash dodger route was because I don't know to install the other ones or how much more it will cost to buy the...
