    Bit of a Catch up! BTCC, GT OPEN, LOTUS CUP UK

    Seen Englebert's thread now and assumed it was something mounted inside the car ;) Cracking stuff anyway.

    Punctures on Alloy Wheels

    Are the wheels straight ? intact ? kurbed ? corroded ?! Put some pics up. Also, pump it up (if you can?) and then put it in a bath of water and you'll see where the leak's coming from. It might be the wheel's leading edge where the tyre sits, or it might be the valve. However, if...

    Bit of a Catch up! BTCC, GT OPEN, LOTUS CUP UK

    What did you do to get the last one ? I am of course assuming you were in the car and this wasn't a remote rig ? Parade lap or something ? If you tell me you were there all race, (and can prove it ;) ) I'll send you £20 lol !

    Photographing Cars!

    Thats better ! Yeah if youre on the phone all the zoom will do is crop it for you. You need to borrow a friend with a wide angle lense ;)

    Photographing Cars!

    Honestly, dreadful composition. The pillars in the background dont add anything to the shot. Crop in a bit or zoom out and get the bridge in as part of the shot.

    motor trade insurance

    Ive suggested an IQ test many times. Just waiting for the final beta testing to complete. Trade insurance is easy to get. Just lie. You won't get caught. Pm ryanhavana for best rates. Hes a trader on here.

    Temporary Insurance for a Modified Clio Driver on a Provisional?

    So take the tints and the crappy hubcaps off for goodness sake. They're only making the car look worse, I can assure you, let alone costing you a fortune. I'll bet you a shiny five pence piece your car is black ?! It will look like a van. Why would you want to drive a van ? Also, why would...

    Temporary Insurance for a Modified Clio Driver on a Provisional?

    That's not a challenge. You don't want / won't be able to get temp insurance. It'll go up A LOT when you pass your test ! I presume you already know this.

    Street-Basser Clio

    Fair play .. sounds (geddit?) like you've done it properly, but f**k that for a laugh. My single 12" cheap as hell sub from Halfrauds was plenty loud enough in my Clio !

    182 failed MOT on emissions but no lights on

    £800 !?!??!?! Cat is about £50 2nd hand and if it doesn't have any in, lambas are under a ton each brand new IIRC ?! Picking up new car in January ? Is it just going to be sat about for the next 4 months ?

    Spray Coming From Exhaust Above 5k

    If the car has only pootled about for most of its life, the water condenses and stays in the boxes along the pipes as it's not warm enough or has enough pressure to blow it all out. There's nothing to worry about ..

    Spray Coming From Exhaust Above 5k

    Fuel + air + ignition => gases + heat. Some of those gases are steam (water).

    Temporary Insurance for a Modified Clio Driver on a Provisional?

    They're not really modifications FFS. Surely you haven't told any insurance company that the windows are tinted and you've got some £4.99 hubcaps on it ?! Are you driving it (under supervision) at the moment ?!

    Photographing Cars!

    It's OK but it's not interesting in any way shape or form. All of that was ignored... and you've not left the exif on as I assume it went through Photoshop or something ? Cropped to roughly meet rule of thirds - highlights brought down - temp cooled: Thoughts ?! Not much more I can...

    5 litre = 20/30 bhp

    Looks fantastic. Wouldn't want it though... I'd rather buy a house. It'd get to the coast on a Sunday morning faster too.

    Budget job what to buy?

    What's the budget ? Bilthamber clay bar (only needs water), some SRP and some wax. Might be do-able for £40. Budget levels of cleaning though... What colour is the car ?

    No idea. Use your imagination and local knowledge ! http://www.flickr.com/photos/steve_hall99/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/51976176@N07/ Two contacts of mine. Both excellent automotive 'Togs. Have a gander and see what you think you can do.

    Photographing Cars!

    As above .. Rule of thirds, CPL and location location location !!! Maybe drop the aperture too. f7.1 or 5.6 might blow the background out a bit. Car photos are easy, unless you're in a car park ;) The BurbleBus by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr What were you expecting the pics to...
