    Wheel Spacers on Track

    not absolutely certain what you mean by scrub, but if its the removal and roughening up of the tyre surface more than normal driving, tyres at Lydden fayre pretty badly as its only a mile circuit with lots of twists and bends. Tyres don't last long anyway I reduced my pressure to 24psi as...

    Wheel Spacers on Track

    Yep- will give it a go with spacer on. Can always get new shorter bolts, and take the spacers off at track if they dont work for me got 16mm's all round, so 32mm wider per axle

    Wheel Spacers on Track

    Wheel Spacers on Track

    seen that Demon Tweekes sell spacers as "Hub Buddies" and suggest they are good on track for better cornering and also KTEC racing do a specific Clio set for the track too so if they are selling them specifically for track, they cant be bad I suppose it plays on the mind that the longer the...

    Wheel Spacers on Track

    thread resurrection- so, running a full set of 16mm hubcentric spacers all round would be fine on a track (Lydden) I was gonna remove the spacers, but cant find the original bolts... Doh!

    cheers for the info- i'm a phase 1 172, but will ask Clioman (Trader) see if he can sort some better jackpoints for me Anyone recommend a lightweight low entry trolley jack- under 10kg. A carry handle be nice too.

    BHP Show Bank Holiday May 7th Lydden Hill 2018 (South East nr Dover)

    Trying to get Track ready, me, at the moment AD08rs being fitted to my lighter than standard wheels, then the 4 wheels fitted to the car. Now realised that as i want to remove the 20mm spacers with extended bolts, i had on for the winter, went to look for the OEM wheel bolts and think Ive thrown...

    Sunstrip and MOT

    didn't think it was that noisy myself- wanted it noisier, but the other half said noisier would upset the neighbours 😢

    Sunstrip and MOT

    I was wondering whether going back to the same place (Setyres £32) will make him go a bit easier as he has seen the car before and will have it on record. Was chuffed that it didn't fail on anything major tbh. A sticker and dislodged sidelight ... that was it. Oh, and advisory noisy exhaust LOL

    Sunstrip and MOT

    they failed me last time for a cliosport sticker in swept area (And a sidelight bulb that had come out of its position- sure he knocked it). No sunstrip back last Spring. "I didn't want to rip it off in case you got upset" he said. So I ripped it off, waited for an hour and got him to issue a...

    Sunstrip and MOT

    for the sake of £20 think I will just rip the strip off not even sure that cut down wiper blades, that miss the strip, will get through because of the reduced screen area they clear

    oil change didn’t go as planned

    Hard luck OP Mine was really hard to remove last time round, even with the correct tool- and i made sure i didnt overtighten when i put the oil filter on the time before that. Dont bother messing with the filter guard myself, so struggle with it in place- best part half hour- even smeared the...

    Sunstrip and MOT

    Realise this has been much discussed but I am still unsure Ive a luverly 5 inch sunstrip that I don't wanna remove (My driver seat is low and the strip really helps avoid the sun) Whats the rule on windscreen wipers- the OEM Blades sweep over the strip by several cms, so I can remove and replace...
