Quick update on the car. I've now sold my Recaros and Turinis :'( to fund my move to London. Car smoking really badly now every time I drive it but luckily I do 2 miles a week so it's not currently a problem. Think the piston rings have gone as oil is coming out the camcover breather and going...

Google is my friend! Got it :) If you self taught I've got some hope, just want to pick up some basics in the next few months so if I put I have a basic knowledge I won't look like a clown when they ask. Looking at trading firms which program a lot of their algorithms in C#. I'm really just...

Leaving it to rot and get covered in pigeon poo.

Looking to learn some very basic c# coding as a lot of job applications I'm looking at are very interested in it. Has anyone got experience of self learning this code? Where shall I start? I'm a very very logical person so from a brain POV it won't be a problem, just don't have any experience...

my bad, forgot to mention I had the car on a hunter about 2000 miles ago. The tracking was a touch out but nothing too bad. Of course it's all aligned now.

I've looked through all the other threads and found nothing. Recently the DCI has developed a horrible twitch in the steering which is particularly prevalent at higher speeds and going round right hand corners. I can only describe it as the car actually veering and it feels like the steering...

Also living in London but you'd be lucky to see me driving my car 2 miles a week now!

I have all the blanking plugs and the copper loop in the garage somewhere. Running a DCI rack now so don't need it all

Woops I forgot to attach the video to this thread. Car is now going into winter hibernation in a barn 50 miles from me. There are a few things I need to get done on the car before it's next outing and MOT but they can all wait. Next update way into 2016!

Yes boi! I've had one in two different Clios and it's certainly worth it. Teamed with no A/C it makes a decent difference. Engine revs much more freely. I'm also going to be getting one when I can afford it. Car is of course looking very well!

I'd take her to the doctors

Yay. I was absolutely shocked at the progress made when I rocked up! You got your DIY mechanics qualification that day!

God know why I kept this doing nothing for so long. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281774907800?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Surprisingly not very fast. I was a bit surprised. Cheers James, it is James yeah? Great tips, exactly what I was after. That druids line did feel a bit weird I have to say so next time I'll give that a go along with the curb at Graham Hill. My instructor (not in the car in the vid) said going...

Need to fit the deflectors and pipe. Defo needed though as my brakes were smoking on the last track day.

Evening chaps. Massive thanks to @Martin. for letting me borrow his go pro and then kindly putting the video up. Had a great time at Brands on my first proper track time and had about 20 mins of tuition so am much better than last time. Here's the vid but more hints and tips on gears, turn in...

Nope I didn't although will try again soon!

Mine are bolt in yeah although I would prefer to have clip on ones. It came down to cost though. I haven't got a photo! the only one I don't have. They're on the angled part of the tunnel close to the rear seat box. I'll get some photos as soon as I can but the car is garaged up ATM. Yes...

Quick get out there! The booking made me get mine finished despite the final rush being horrible :smile: I used these for the insides and then bought just the spacer on it's own for the outsides...

I have to say this is easily the most impressive thread on here because there are real craftsman skills being used. I'd love to be able to weld and have the equipment to do such brilliant customisation. Hats off.

Brands Hatch :D The first track day happened finally and oh boy was it good. I'll start with the build up to Brands. The car was nearly finished after the last update and so I booked my first evening session for the 28th although this turned out to be the biggest stress ever. Saturday just...

32mm to remove the track rods

lots of stickers on one 182 silver 182 with a plastic rear window and saftey devices cage black 182 with white TDs black 172 with gordini turinis @SamHowell saw your car up there I think but not sure.

All the ladies say your shaft was too long too

@Mike@Rentech @NorthloopCup cheers guys. I'll get the loop off later and try it. That would make sense as I had to move the car around without the loops of bung in as I was waiting on parts. How much fluid needs to be in there as I drained quite a bit out of it :S

Finally finished my cup today although when I drove it there was an extremely odd sensation from the steering. Whether the EPAS is on or not the steering feels loose for about 20 degress (each way) of steering wheel movement and as soon as you get past this point it becomes much harder and has...

Glad you get lots of use out of this Mark. It's nice and clean for a track car! Do you run your stealth with a decat. I've got the super sport on my cup with a 182 mani and decat and have no idea if it's going to make the 102 limit

Just do it yourself. The soldering really isn't hard at all and actually quick a good job to do as your first one. Maybe you could get a set of old clocks to practice on first although I just went in straight away and didn't have any problems.

Nice one G. Finally the risk is over!!! Pics of the inside needed, quick quick

Thank you for all the nice comments chaps. Today didn't go quite to plan and I had a bit of a lazy day. @Martin. popped over this morning on his way home so we went out for a spin with me as passenger because I'm not actually insured on the car, my rents are. DOC cover is a wonderful thing and...
