    How well do f4r engines sell?

    Ok cool but what I really meant to say is how long would it take to sell. The markets flooded with people breaking/selling RS bits lately!

    How well do f4r engines sell?

    Bit of a random one, but how easy is it to sell an engine for one of these? I would like to hear from the people that have. Say an average mileage one? Also if it was to be sold with a fresh, genuine renault cambelt and aux kit bolted on (properly) would this attract more interest and a higher...

    Wet Sanding

    Yeah Astons always come from the factory like this. I do a fair bit for an AM dealer. This is the downside to DA sanding, flat block sanding is normally always the best option and won't suffer pig talis. You shouldn't jump straight for g3 (if ever!!) as its probably far too abrasive! Chris

    BluePoint Machine Polisher.

    haha i like that! TBH most VW like Daniel said have a very hard top coat...but not all! Take each car as they come, chances are you will find on most cars they have had some sort of respray in places which could be alot softer than the oem paint. Ref. the burning through to bare metal, most...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Ooops stupid iPhone. I never said that comment, it will correct to an extent of course, but it's not a proper polish. A pad with water 'could' burn through on certain paints.

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Dude I wasn't having a pop, thing is you need to try and asses all panels individually. (Ideally with a paint thickness gauge). You could attack oem paint say on the roof with an aggressive compound, then move onto the bonnet that could of had a blow in,and would strip the clear coat straight...

    alternative to powerflex?

    Fred do you mean that you should tighten them when the wheels/suspension is under load (ie when the wishbones are in there nuetral position) chris

    Advice on detailing

    Well sorrreeyyy! Was trying to help, as I might know a little about these things! You really need to get over to detailing world forum and start swotting up, then buy the gear and start practicing. No offence to CS but you can't learn machine polishing skills from a cliosport forum! Chris DetailMe

    Paintwork seriously f%&cked after leaving car under tree

    Only looking at the pics from my iPhone so hard to say. When you rub your hand along the paint is it rough as it raised bits or amooth. Sap can be a c**t to clean. But like I say, just looking at it, it looks like a good machine polish will bring that back. Where do you live?

    172 CUP what mods next help please

    You haven't said what you want to improve on the cup? More speed, handling etc? Rstuner will improve day to day running but don't expect it to catch your y-fonts on fire, remaps on NA are not what there like on a charged engine! Does improve on cold start lumpiness and gives a less restrictive...

    wheel retrim recommendation

    Snappy just the man! Got a sabelt wheel, probably the easiest type for you.

There was a...

    Thumbs up for Brentacre

    Just got cover from brentacre, after getting positive reviews on (mainly) here and other forums. I'm 28, 182 with all mods declared (cams etc), full comp for just over 550 squidlies. Happy with that! And they transferred my no claims from a traders policy after pretty much everyone else...
