Ordered some silicone coolant hoses but not sure what clamps to get either jubilee clips or is it better to get some mikalor clamps or somthing similar?

I am changing the rad and removing my AC soon so while everything is out I thought it would be a good time to change the hoses. Am I better reusing the Renault clips or replace them with jubilee clips? Also does anybody know where to get some orange hoses from, I have found them on JS...

Not Clio related but thought it would be best in here. I have a Suzuki Swift and the spring keeps popping off the mechanism, I assume this is normally a press fit but it no longer stops in. I have tried drilling a hole through and I was going to tap it and put a bolt and washer on to stop it...

As my boot would knock when going over bumps I decided to fit some pins. I have had them for about 4 months but finally got round to fitting them today, I cut some carbon vinyl out to put under the latch to stop it scratching the paint and used stainless bolts instead of rivets, not bad for £5...

Does anyone know where to get some of the rubber stops from that come with aerocatch's.

Just had the 2016 Demon Tweeks book and you can now get AST from DT, so you don't have to deal with Curtis. Don't know how the prices compare but may get CS discount as well. £1450+vat sportline 2 5100 £2890 +vat club sport 5200 £3150+vat 5300

Nice bit of driving

My iphone 6 has randomly started to show "searching" in the top left corner. It will be working fine and then "searching" will come up and no signal (wifi still works fine), it happened when I was in France a couple of weeks ago the phone was working fine then it stopped for 3 days, I tried...

Just come back from France fishing and Reims was a small detour so decided to stop off for a couple of photos, it was high 30's all week and on Saturday it never stopped raining:disappointed:, it would be a fantastic place when the weather is nice.

I am thinking of getting some coilovers for the track car but just wondering how much it is to get them set up? Also whats included in the price is it just corner weighting and ride height or is a full alignment included? Just working out a budget before I buy them.

I have been using the Dunlops for a while now and seem to keep getting a weird wear pattern, where it is creating a staircase type pattern. I run 30psi hot normally but do up the front pressure to 32-34psi hot sometimes as the main loaded tyre begins to roll and wear the edge. Sorry about the...

After changing the brake fluid on Friday from the Rockingham trackday just over a week ago so it is ready for Donington at the weekend I decided to give the track car a machine polish today as there were some fine scratches from using the cover when it is in the garage. I used Meguiars 205 and...

I am thinking of wrapping the manifold but don't want to remove it as it is a pain. I only want to keep the radiant heat away from the coil wires as it is affecting my shift light. Just having a little look I could probably do to the red lines fairly easy with in inlet removed and possible get...

I will be removing my AC in a few months so while I am at it I thought of getting an ally rad. The eBay ones are quite appealing for the price, has anyone got one? This one...

What torque setting should the sandwich plate bolt be tightened to for a oil cooler? I assume you tighten the sandwich plate a bit tighter than the oil filter to stop it undoing the same time as the filter when changing oil?

I have brought a SPA oil temp and pressure gauge but the bottom LED does not seem to be working. When it is in the test mode with everything flashing the top LED flashes but the bottom one does not, can anyone confirm that it is supposed to flash in test mode?

I have just fitted my new Spa gauge and I have to set the alarm for the low and high oil temp and pressure. What are the correct operating temp and pressures and what would you set the lo and high to?

I am thinking of getting a oil cooler, where is the best place/cheapest to get one from? I want one with a thermostatic sandwich plate, as for braided hoses are they needed?

:cool: Just test fitted my wheels that I have had powder coated, i'm pleased they are very bright but the camera does not give a true colour every picture is different

Just got my wheels back from the powdercoaters but they did not mask the hub face or the bolt holes up :angry: so that has left me with a job to do. Any suggestions on what is best to clean the powdercoat from out of the wheel bolt holes, the hub mount face I will just use a DA sander and some...

I have a black safety devices cage, I have been thinking of having the cage powder coated Fluorescent orange as I have various parts sprayed that colour. I am worried it may be a bit to bright inside the car and cause reflections on the screen, anyone got a bright cage and what are your...

Can somebody change my wheel colour to the same orange as my mirrors and badges, also do one the same colour orange as the attached picture. Thanks

Just wondering what oil type and grade you use and how often you change it. Last year I was using Elf 5W 40 and changing it after every full trackday. Would I be better off getting a better quality 5W 40 and changing it every second or third trackday

I have been thinking of fitting some throttle bodies to the track car. I like the look of the Ktec kit as everything is in one package, also like the ECU as I really hate wires lol, is it really as simple as unplug the standard ECU and plug into the Gen90? I have my airbag lights turned off...

I need to do something with my brakes for next year, I currently have a problem with them vibrating under heavy braking on track. I have found the slider pin holes in the carrier are elongated so I either need to replace the carriers with some new ones and probably new pins so a cost of around...

A few photos from the Rally last weekend

Here is a few photos from the Rally over the weekend. It was nice to see a F15 fly over too but it was a bit high.

I have been thinking recently it is probably a good investment to get a dash cam, I want one that is small enough to be hidden away behind the rearview mirror or fitted at the top of the screen without looking messy also it would ideally be powered by a USB so I can hardwire it into the car. I...

Over the last two trackdays I had had issues with my brakes vibrating when braking from high speed on a track, they stop the car fine. When I am on the road the brakes are fine no issues at all. I have had a look at them today and found that the slider pin in the top hole is wobbly (as in the...

Just watched this Stunning cars shame they cant build cars like that today.
