    ClioSport Festival 2016 - Book Tickets Now!

    Yeah getting set up Friday evening, having some grub and a few beers, then wake up ready to go Saturday morning is the way to go, as long as you don't get sh*t faced and feel wasted for half the day like I did you'll be fine, although a hell ride in Sam's weaponised track car woke me up big time.

    Pretty much everything Mike Musto reviews on Big Muscle is next level awesome.

    American Car Thread.

    ^^^That is the meanest GTO i've ever seen, a lot of the time yanks can ruin nice cars with too much chrome and horrific wheels, but who ever built that knew what the soul of that car needed to express itself, just brutal looking.

    it is worth to remap stock 172?

    I'll still pull harder after 5.5k but the power curve will be a bit more smoothed out, so the kick won't be as big compared to standard.

    it is worth to remap stock 172?

    Quite a big difference from 1-5k rpm, you'll finally have some grunt where before you had none, all I have power wise is an Espace V6 airbox and decent 2.5" exhaust, I put my cars map back to standard once because i'd got so used to the 98ron map id forgotton what it felt like standard, what it...

    it is worth to remap stock 172?

    Yes it's worth it as it's a generic map so will work the same with a standard car or one with exhaust, induction kit and other mods.

    Rear Beam PolyBushes

    I've started thinking the back looks slightly lower than normal, the shocks are fine, they don't bounce and they're not leaking, but the lower stance could be the cause of the remaining rubbing, i'm going to take the spare out the boot and see if it goes away, tbh I didn't hear any rubbing at...

    I honestly thought you'd broken you hand.

    Rear Beam PolyBushes

    Finding a JC5 130 that doesn't leak will be the hard bit. One thing yesterday taught me is i'm not cut out to be a mechanic, i'm not a real man.

    Rear Beam PolyBushes

    If he'd had known how much of ball ache the job was going to be I think he'd have told me to f*ck off too, luckily I bribed him with a 6 pack of DR Pepper, I also gave the garage owner 2 bottles of Ale for letting us use his sh*t, he's the Dad of Ryans girlfriend so we need to keep him sweet...

    Rear Beam PolyBushes

    Planted, it's amazing how used you can get to how a car feels on knackered parts, with new bushes and ball joints it's back to how it should handle, i'd almost forgotten how good these things are through a series of S-bends.

    Rear Beam PolyBushes

    So it turns out my old bushes had indeed seen better days. Sadly I forgot to get photos of the new bushes while it was on the lift, so this was the best I could do with it on the ground. What a monumental pain in the arse that job was, even with an entire fully equipped garage it still...

    As much as I love all the exotica you posted, I think this is quite possibly the coolest car you could roll around in.

    They were a nice collection of motors, what do you do again?

    Yeah i'd have been pissed off if i'd paid for it, although Mike Brewer was handing out free boom shakes if you were willing to stand in line with the other mentally disabled people, seriously they were a weird deformed bunch that wanted to meet him.

    New 182 exhaust mount from powerflex

    Same, zip ties have done a better job than the 3 different mounts i've gone through.
