    Hankook V12 better than conti sport?

    This is interesting I currently have conti sport contact 2's on the rear and pirelli p-zero's on the front I hate the pirelli - they just don't grip - love conti's had them on every car i've owned for last 5+ years But they are expensive I might give hankook v12's a go Is 205/45/16 perfectly...

    Do you need an oil filter tool?

    Jamie - because you can rip the end of the filter clean off (it's thin tin, not designed to be used to wrench the damn thing off) and you can hit the thread in the middle and damage that It's a proper s**t way of doing it - if you need to save £4 on buying a wrench you shouldn't own a fast car!

    Do you need an oil filter tool?

    Every time I read someone saying "ram a screw driver through it and turn" I cringe The amount of people i've seen do this and then turning just rips the end of the filter off and then leaves you half a filter stuck to your engine that you can't get off! They're supposed to only be on hand...

    Depends how anal you are - my engine is covered in a painted plastic cover, my induction air box is plastic, the standard induction pipes are plastic, all the bottles are plastic and fuse boxes etc... The only belt on show is the alternator belt and funnily enough I don't clean that It works...

    Want my engine bay shiny and spotless.. What do i use?

    Back when I used to clean the hell out of my car I used a product called CD2 engine detailer It's fantastic - 2 tins One you spray on and leave - it's like a degreasant. Then you jet wash it off Then leave engine running till it's dry and then spray on the 2nd can - which is like a lacquer Then...

    caged shlag (and a chance to try my new lense)

    Take the lens and throw it in the bin You'd get more wide-angle from an 18-55mm kit lens!

    My old 214bhp clio cup

    Ahhh good old Lad motorsport I remember the guy on 106owners who paid a fortune for there 150 conversion on his gti - which amusingly made about 151bhp on their rollers Then he ran it on one of our rolling road days and it made 119bhp - less than standard A good look at the engine showed...

    rs tuner question

    That's all standard renault stuff Mine was the same I think the bottom 2 lines (22nd january 2002) will have been when the ecu was first loaded with program The top one (5th may 2002) will have been when they put it in your car and loaded the map/settings specific for your car

    Sad day for the cup

    By law they have to put up a "mud on road" sign - I would have taken a pic as the farmer would be liable for the damage

    Throttle pedal "lump"

    There's something a bit weird with my throttle pedal It's smooth 90% of the way down - but when you get to 10mm from the carpet it hits resistance and you have to really push it to go past that point Like a lump - it's really hard to explain I made a video of it on my iPhone that i'll...

    Swapping a beam

    Follow up from this I had a visual look around the beam and couldn't see anything bent - but then last weekend I fitted new rear brake discs and pads The passenger brake disc was catching on the back of the hub - which makes me think the guy was right and it is bent But I think it's the stub...

    Studio lighting

    If you're just starting out have you considered a strobist setup? A speedlite, umbrella soft box and light stand can be had for a fraction of the cost of studio lighting There are some cracking "cheap" remote triggers available as well that I use And the advantage is it all runs on batteries...
