Saw OPs 182 tonight and loved it. Looked great paintwork to me, sounded good as pulled away Being Cat C wouldnt bother me, but for the age of these motors you dont buy thinking you are gonna resell TBH- well i wouldnt

The diameter of the struts on the New Ranger lift hardly look substantial to me. Sure they are fit for purpose but lifting the whole car by the looks, not so sure I'd feel comfortable. Pistons can give. Least with a trolley jack placed in the area that you are working for insurance, with axle...

Not sure I'd feel safe under that- hardly looks Industrial strength

Fair point, but sometimes you can be working under the car without taking any wheels off Always best if someone else is around too

There was a chap in Kent last year, hit the headlines, got killed working under a car without axle stands, the jack gave way. He was there couple hours apparently Not trying to pee you off, i dont liking getting well under either, but if you go under then its axle stands AND trolley jack for me...

Sounds frightening Jeff. I use axle stands a lot, but always leave the trolley jack raised around the location where i am working Shortly getting a lightweight trolley jack, then i will use 2 still raised as a back up to axle stands Its working on ramps that concerns me for some reason

LOL. 1195 would be pricey imo

Very nice- welcome to the Club. Which track?

No worries- Brands on 13th Nov?

just seen this- you might be in luck- PM me......

sometimes you have to pay your money and takes your choice Least the money outlay with National is pretty good, and the lads I spoke to seemed very knowledgeable. Knew quite a bit about track cars and suspension So I'm happy :-)

Fair enough. National Tyres and Auto are a large National company, so have no reason to think they are pants.

Don't know, but wasn't laser that's for sure. at £14.50 and a report they were 2.5degrees out, I wasn't arguing

Not sure where to post this, so Mods feel free to move Had more tyre wear than expected on a track day recently, so searched the web and found a Half price wheel alignment offer. National Tyres and Autocare in Hassocks, West sussex. Printed of my voucher from their website, went over there...

Welcome to the Club Russ- whats your location and closest track?

Think Ive cracked my problem- going to replace the quick release 3icnh web harness, for a 2inch seat belt style harness save all that messing about at the off

Have taken my 172 around a few tracks over the summer, and fitted decent Corbeau seats, then fitted a 3 inch webbed unbranded 6 point harness. The harness seems fine safety wise, and keeps you well planted in the set. Only problem I have is trying to get all the clips into the holder, when the...

Just taken the front two off, and one seems ok ish, and the other has lumps out of it. Would that one be ok to run on the track? Tread is several mm, just a few chunks on the outer shoulder missing Thought it was low to let them down to 24psi, but the grip was immense Cant get thru tyres that...

i started out 30psi all round for track, then continually let them down to 30psi, then, after advice dropped the rears to 28psi and fronts to 26 psi. They crept back up to 30, so dropped them to 24 (Advice from a professional driver at lydden hill which is a track that has rep for eating tyres)...

So kind

Nice one Leeroyb. Looks fab. Welcome to the Club- see you at Lydden sometime :-)

So jealous of not being there this year, just bought a (sale price :-) 2 person tent Now do I bring the Mrs, or........................... :tongueout:

whats size Torx head is it? 40? (Realise this is a thread resurrection)

Yep- see you at Brands next year then Ive got a Brands day booked November now, will be my last before next Spring Lydden was great, my best track contribution by far. Had some ex pro giving me tips round the track, and we had a little game of tag round the course at the end of the day Just...

Mine held up fantastic round Lydden yestday. 6.5-7k revs most of the time and Jeeeees- how much petrol is used on a track day Took on Mitsubishi's, Civic R's, loadsa Mini's, beat the lot and kept going. Even drove 100 miles home no bother Love it (Its the kiss every day Dawgtired that seals the...

Icebergs do look good when clean, even better in the rain for some reason. looks gleaming Was gonna plastidip it gunmetal next year, wonder if I should reconsider Gotta get thru a nice cheapMOT first, then Cambelt, so better get saving :-) Chap I bought it off said it was worth more broken...

Mine hit 165bhp earlier in the year, altho the paintwork is rubbish Only done 89k miles, on a March 2001 plate, one of the last Phase 1's in Iceberg Love it!

Wow. 166k thats fab. Thinking whether mines past it for cambelt next May, and looking at yours think i will go fo it Looks nice paintwork too

If you go to Brands, may tag along if the price is right and you want the Company. Lydden (nr Dover) for meon Saturday, 8x 20 min sesh's Brands does 2 hr evening events, but their prices seem to have gone up a bit in the last year
