Slight lip is nothign to worry about, most garage will look at it from free, or a few quid

Do a visual inspection, if the rubber is cracked etc then its a new mount you need

I could do wiht a shift light, often can't actually see the rev counter when on track, and my arms get in teh way, and i've hit the limiter a few times, sorta f***s up your speed, lol

Yes, a firtune, there is so much you can do, take off and overhaul the claipers, replace brake lines, atleast 2 ltrs of fliud etc etc etc. not sure how air gets in the system tbh

Squeel or grinding? Grinding indicatesthe pads are on teh metal backing. My guess woudl be eather air int eh system, or buggered pads/discs

There are 2 wires going to the rev counter, not sure whihc is the one you want, what i woudl do is pick one and try it, if it doens't work, try the other, shoudl be able to get teh light to work when idling, esp if you set like a 3k limit. Out of interest how much did it cost and where did you...

HAHA, well.......

Pedal is hard when the engine is off, this is becasue the master cylinder isn't working, this is the same on 99.9% of cars. Does the pedal feel songy atall under heavy braking, if so this culd mean that the fluid needs bleeding. As the pads wear down the oedal shouldn't travel any further...

Better than the can of petrol and matches suggestion ;)

Rewnault discs also come wiht the bearing pressed in, others liek from GSf will need pressing in, i got charged a fiver to preess 2 bearings. You might need a hub puller too, some come off ok, others don't, seems random. Make sure tje k-tec ones come wiht new stub axle(hub) bolts. Price up...

Noty very useful, but i ahve a mk1, this is a proper car and doens't have a limp home mode, it has a go mode, and a go fast mode, and occasionally an 'i'm gonna be a c**t and flat spot', which is usually cured by a good ragging

When you accelerate hard the gearstick will move, as the engine moves in teh bay, a buggered mount means the gearbox end of the engine moves more, and hence the gearstick moves. Bog bone is easy in theory, last one i changed on a 16v rewquired about an hour trying to cut the bolt off wiht a...

For the record my pagids have done 3 full track days, and an hour on track at FCS, over 10K of road driving, discs barley have a lip ont ehm, and pagids are about 65% worn

Normal Brembo discs have wear indicators :rolleyes: Not trying to under cut Y0z etc, btu check out rally design for the DS2500 pads, iirc they were £35 + vat + delivery, my DS2000 pads cost me £4 for next day delivery

Green stuff suck in a BIG way, stick wiht eh std discs and stick pagid fast road pads on, they are about £30 from GSF, quote cliosport and you get a discount, never once been asked for my membership card

Yup, same length, apart from about 10mm

:S

Never heard of them, i knowi've read reviews where the toyo T1-R scores hihger then the F1's

No idea, i don't wash my car, i take it to shows and have it washed for me

if you have one made up and its cheap enough i'll have one too

Coke bottle, or tweeks do a few you could use for ideas

Well you learn something new everyday :)

Yeah went inot town to try to get some flanges cut, forgot just how busy stratford gets when the fecking mop is on. Did you have a go on anything? ;)

Most induction kits are a case of unbolting the old one and bolting the new one on, just take your time, and check everything and you'll be fine

Seeing as its a mk2 you'll be hard pushed to geta decent cheap de-cat, if one atall. 17's are slower due to having to turn a larger radius, so take more effort to turn one rotation ( i think, brain isn't functioning tonight), cars also handle worst with them on

If he wants them quick go for the pagids, from GSF, or ferodo etc from fred

No Ben can do you a cam. 172 will be differnt costs to a 1.4 rt as its a twin cam, RT is a single cam. Cams can be timed to std timeing, or using vernire pullies it can be timed in to a decent timing. Doubt he has a power graph of an RT, can't sayi know of anyone who has cammed a 1.4 rt

Read what i put, i answered that question. If you do buy uprated shicks pay a little extra for ones wiht adjustable dampening, as the last thing you want are them being rock hard on a bumpy slipery wet road, but then get on track, and you want them rock hard (unless its wet)

Urgent....Halfords? GSF??? Walk in, collect tehm walk out, takes all of a few mins ;)

:eek: Yopu're shitting me, filter the water before you wash the car....next you lot will be buying distilled water
