My DC2 integra had a front and rear jacking point, was really handy but I never paid much attention to how it was tied into the chassis for strength. Incase you could find online some photos for inspiration? Sure a fabrication company could make something up no problem

I thought it was strange that it was a twin axle aswell as anything that tows a weight as small as that is usually single axle, just didnt seem right

So much variables out there, thanks for the comments. Did some measuring this morning and I need 7.5mm to confortably clear the calipers for the rota’s. So either 10mm or have an 8mm made for the fronts. Preferably slip on and then I can add the spacer when I swap to road tyres or if its a...

The standard, normal running wheels are fine. Its just the really wet / road tyres that dont and tbh can live without them but willing to give it a try with spacers. Plenty seem to run them including PMS on their own car

Looking for some reviews on people who have fitted spacers and the effect it has had on handling, in particular track days and sprint / hillclimbs which where my focus is. Iv never planned running spacers however I have just fitted wilwood 4 pots and they are fine with my standard OZ F1’s on...

Surely the pipe needed will be much larger than a brake pipe fitting, more like 1/2” fittings for the steering rack? Wouldnt think that kit would be any use

£350 is more like the going rate for the 1 day training and then test. If you can, get hold of a trailer and an open space if possible and have a play about reversing to get used to the feel of it. If possible, avoid test centres that use little single axle trailers! Most places seem to use a...

Simplest and best option is to go do the training and get the full licence. Then your not limited to weights of tow car, trailer or whats on the trailer. Least then you can use a trailer to its full potential and even use it for shiftinf cars etc for some beer tokens. Soon as you have a car...

Clios are one of the best iv found for jacking points and axle stands at the front anyway, back is a different story. Can get the jack in at a decent strong point which also leaves a clear point for the axle stand. Can see where it can easily go wrong, I raise one side up maybe half way on my...

Are your halfords sockets multi-point or 6 soded hex sockets? Might be better with hex sockets on the gun, less chance of rounding things off if using the gun. Worst thing I found with my halfords set was the lack of hex sockets. Bought a small set of bahco 3/8 drive hex sockets and a rail to...

Pretty sure its these Iv been using for past few years, although the ones I have the hook has a swivel on it so that they line up perfectly. https://www.tridenttowing.co.uk/trailer-parts-spares-c3/ratchet-straps-c522/claw-hook-car-transporter-straps-set-of-4-with-chokers-p10801 Cant fault them...

Great wrench and as said, tube is great for storage. Fit the wheel socket, breaker bar and the torque wrench inside it. Perfect combo to have. Well, before I got an 18v impact gun 😂

No comparison at all to an impact wrench, air or 18v. You wouldnt compare a 3/8" ratchet to a 1/2" drive impact gun. Seen plenty mates use them and saves alot of time / repetitiveness when running nuts on and off stripping stuff. No stupid torques either so can be used on trims or anything...

Driveshafts are different lengths on the cup are they not, so must be a difference elsewhere for the wider track? They have more castor due to the balljoint position on the front wishbone but these can be fitted to a non cup car anyway. Rear has -2deg camber, again can be done on any car with...

You running in the new standard class if its 1a tyres and no camber? Iv always been list 1b tyres so not much use to you, hope you find something suitable! Theres no standard class up here with us so no idea of what tyres have been tried and tested

Noticed that the nsr arch liner has scrub marks on it, and also melted plastic on the tyre so I know it happened when running the standard F1's as its a Ph1. No play in wheel bearing, and running 195/50/15 tyres. Could rear beam bushes have too much play? Anyone experienced the same issues? Car...

172 Cup. They had no aircon, ABS or traction control. Slightly more camber on the rear, some added caster on the front wishbones and came with a basic interior. Obviously demand a slightly higher premium for good condition examples though if you were on a tight budget

Teng also do a nice ratchet screwdriver along the same lines as a snap on one if you dont want the price tag. This Bahco 1/4 socket set is great, use it for alot of jobs whether interior, engine bay or bodywork fixings. Coupled with the Teng screwdriver its even better

Iv got a plastic storage tub for spares, some fluids, fuses etc. Also got impact gun, Bahco 1/2drive socket set, jack and screwdriver set Then Iv a Plano tool bag with spanners, and pliers, small drivers, prybars, allen keys etc in all the side pockets so its well organised. I made it up for...

What sports cat is best to go for? Doesnt seem to be much on offer for them. My cat rattles like hell at times, and needs to be there for road going class in sprints and hills

Is there any small crimps that can be utilised in place of the standard plug? I suspect a dodgy connection within the plug as when adjusting it I could hear the engine go under load when alternator did start charging but couldnt get it to maintain a charge. I have a spare loom but would rather...

That'll be the standard class. It is fairly strict and loses some of the fun. They would have been better tightening the belt on road going class a bit rather than a new class that allows no modifications at all

Are you not allowed 1b tyres also for your class?

Yeah thats possible, as your rear plate on the car wont be visible anyway. Depends if its stuck or screwed on to your car for how much hassle it is haha. Also if you depend towing more in future be worth getting one made

Looks like it has the spring clips on the no plate holder, just slots in. Bottom edge in first, push down on the spring then push in and release so the plates clamped. Really simple ones

Got quite a few pics, heres some below

Best thing to do is get some practice like you said to get a feel for the trailer and reversing. Easy to read up on but not taking the turn off quick enough soon has things going slightly off course. Key is to not rush, just stop and maybe draw forward / readjust and go again. As long as your...

Is snappy no longer on the go here? Iv just bought a 1.2 as a runaround and the wheel is buggered as usual and was needing a refurb. See his name come up alot, mainly in old posts in for sale section

You can modify the ball joint bolt hole to give more castor, theres a thread on here on it. Titled got castor yo. Cup wishbones have more castor than standard wishbones, on a 172 anyway. Unsure of the 182 specs

The confusion for me just now is with regards to the circled part below. It mentions regulations for standard cars, and then goes on to mention road going series production cars, which for myself and Calum is currently A2 (up to 2000cc) and has quite a wide range of modifications permitted and...
