    grand on coilies

    As I said on PM - I wouldn't use bilstein unless the car is standard When I had my full interior the billies were fantastic - but I've dropped 150kg+ out the car now and they're too soft I love the build quality of them - but I wish I could adjust the damping and crank them up a couple of...

    172 Cup CAT Removal

    You need a mate to hold a spanner on the bolts from inside the engine bay - then undo from under. Otherwise they just spin And it's a PIG to get to the bolts in the engine bay. In all honesty I'd take the top inlet manifold off as then you've got loads of space

    Prima racing exhaust mounts

    +1 I have one on my 172 - changed the standard one 3 times in a year - it kept collapsing Had one of these in for over a year now and no wear at all. Superb bit of kit We tried a group buy before but each set is hand made and they don't make a lot of money on them so they wouldn't come...

    Lens Attachments

    These lens attachments are usually shite They add more glass inbetween the world and the sensor so you lose crispness. It's also very cheap glass too

    converting mp4 so I can put it on an iPad?

    Good god some of you are insane and use some proper freeware shite Handbrake - convert to iPad format - drag into iTunes For proper films/tv use handbrake to convert then drag into iFlicks which will auto-tag and add covers and then import into iTunes I've just finished encoding 328 dvd's...

    My Cup is fitted with a B&M.

    The B&M is superb - you get a musch shorter throw and it makes the gear changes feel very certain, the standard stick is like stirring porridge with a spoon But you should still try to change gear with the same mechanical sympathy, as Jonny says, while using it. I bang it through gears as fast...

    Camera Footage, worth it?

    That's better than what I got - but still no use for insurance purposes Like if that van at 1:09 had pulled out and gone head on into you - you can't see it's reg plate or anything on the video I'd always go for 720p minimum really

    My Cup is fitted with a B&M.

    I've had a B&M on my track car for a year now - gearbox is still fine and on 118k I think they're fine as long as you don't bang them through gears as quick as possible

    Camera Footage, worth it?

    These are utter shite I bought one for use on track days - it just kept turning off, and when it did record the quality was shocking - you couldn't even make a number plate out It's kicking around my office somewhere - only used it once lol

    Camera Footage, worth it?

    It's a bit big This one looks awesome -> http://www.rt3direct.co.uk/blackview-driver-protection-cctv-camera.html?___store=default Small, discreet and has GPS so it shows you where you were and what speed you were doing when the accident happened. Also records g-force!

    Camera Footage, worth it?

    Such a good idea - a guy pulled out on me in the 306 a few months ago straight into my car Wish I'd had it on video They're quite a big thing in America - they auto-save the last few minutes if they detect a crash. Really handy for insurance companies (unless you were driving like a dick LOL)

    Carbon door cards

    Let's get the ball rolling on this If someone who already has some can lend us a front and back that would be awesome If not I'll try to make some templates from my track car and get them sent over I'd be happy to use my car as a trial too if we're having them made local'ish

    RBF600 or ATE Super Blue?

    Oh sorry lol yes I see what you mean - I was very broad saying super blue is higher than all 5.1's I meant the usual off the shelf ones that people buy - I know there are some really good 5.1's

    RBF600 or ATE Super Blue?

    Ok yeah Dot4 and Dot5.1 are made from different materials - but the only difference from a drivers point of view is the boiling points. And super blue is higher than dot5.1 in that aspect

    Going from sky to Virgin media ?

    Yeah it doesn't have a hard drive but I believe it connects to the other box and you can watch all the channels, all recorded stuff, all the on-demand stuff - just as you would in the main room

    172 Cup Newbie in Lincolnshire

    Hi Ken Welcome to the club I live in Lincoln and have a fairly well spec'd Clio 172 Cup track car. I'm also not exactly a young clio owner (I'm 32 :)) There's a lincolnshire meet at the Pride of Lincoln on May 6th...

    Going from sky to Virgin media ?

    Hrmm at my new house I have a living room with a 32" tv in it and a games room with a 50" tv in it The offer of a free box for a 2nd room with no charges (sky charge £10+ a month more for a 2nd room) is really appealing as I can sit and watch motorsports in the games room while the girlfriend...

    Clio Racers - Donington Park (BTCC)

    I've been trying my hardest to get into it properly for years. Cadwell isn't far from me so I might start spending some weekends up there practicing Trouble is taking photos of track cars and driving a track car are conflicting hobbies :( Every time I'm out on track I wish I could have taken...

    Going from sky to Virgin media ?

    Thats if you go for the 100mb broadband I'm on that at the moment and the broadband + phone is £62 a month. Sky is £30 a month and we don't have movies or sport £109 gives you tv with HD, espn, sports, movies - everything + 100mb broadband + phone with free calls anytime It's actually...

    RBF600 or ATE Super Blue?

    It's gonna be down to personal preference - but I know 2 teams who entered WRC last year running it The only difference is the boiling point 5.1 is higher than 4 Super blue is a fair bit higher than 5.1 and RBF600 is higher than super blue But on a little clio road/track car even with 4 pots -...

    Going from sky to Virgin media ?

    I was about to start a thread about this I'm with Virgin for phone + internet at the moment but sky for my TV purely because we had a 12 month contract with them Got a letter today from Virgin offering me a free Tivo HD box, and a free box for a 2nd room - if I sign up Looking at the deal...

    RBF600 or ATE Super Blue?

    I wouldn't pay the price that RBF600 is - you can get super blue for about £12 a litre And like I said on the other thread - if it's good enough for WRC cars...

    Brake fluid...talk to me

    Exactly this - same as the WRC teams use, higher boiling point than 5.1

    Clio Racers - Donington Park (BTCC)

    Yeah the top image was 1/40th! LOL Rest were 1/80th ish All taken with a 70-200mm f4L on my 7D I need to practice more with my monopod as I think that would help - but I never get on with it very well for some reason

    172 Cup Track/Fast Road car.

    You pump it up to get a vacuum - then undo the bleed nipple and let the fluid run through until there are no more bubbles Exactly the same as pumping the brakes or using a pressure bleeder - except it pulls the fluid using a vacuum rather than pushing it using pressure
