Did a but of work on the car this weekend...changed the front discs and pads. Wanted to remove the arch linings at the same time to clean the crud from behind, but ran out of time. Plus one of the lining bolts was about to round off and I didn't have a replacement. Old stuff ready to come off...

If you are going to take the sound deadening off the roof with a heat gun, make sure there is no moisture on the outside on top of the roof.....my roof was wet and I burnt water marks into the lacquer and the roof was ruined.

Washed the daily. Looks nice and shiny Jet washed the rear arches of the 172. Hope I haven't made it rust anymore......

That is not the response I wanted......haha. not sure what my spring rates are, or even if I can get stiffer ones.

Not done much on the car last weekend. I did get the roof wrapped as I sort of ruined it - never use a heat gun on the inside of the roof if the outside is wet, I burnt water marks into the lacquer. I couldn't get a picture of it, but no one had seen anything like it. But now it is black. It...

It's meant to be a pure track car....but I do drive it when I can as I enjoy it so much! This is why I don't want to waste time, effort and money on powder coating if it is going to be pointless. The dream would be a second set of wheels where I would not care about, I would just spray them...

I may get my brother to have a go at cleaning them. He loves cleaning cars. I know he has some wheel cleaner as I bought it for him! If this doesn't work then they are getting recoated. The rattle can plus protection is looking likely as TEG said use and abuse FTW haha. I want it looking...

That sounds like the stuff to use! I just want to add a layer to stop things 'touching' the paint work, if that makes sense? I am also thinking painting to save the money for other stuff. It's never going to win any Concourse contests! It was the lack of paint and then protection that hasn't...

Painted my wheels two years ago with normal aerosol cans. They were lacquered and the finish on them was good when they were done. However in hindsight I probably should have put more paint on them (one wheel has more paint on and is easier to clean) and probably should have coated them with wax...

Got the pictures from my Step Dad. Somehow not the best quality, they looked really good on his phone. The Imprezza got the BTCC treatment....wasn't moving over for me so I turned on the lights. It worked. Probably bit of a dick move on my behalf but he was just getting in the way. I...

Did a track day at Llandow yesterday. Was pretty damn good. Arrived and there were loads of other Clios ther, this got me worried as I knew I was going to be shown up. However, this was not the case which really surprised me!! Team Tango. Car was faultless. I could really push it yesterday...

Yep, he was there also.

There are loads of Clios out on track, including a very nice Ph1 Sunflower. Everyone seems to be running well. Anyone there today off here??

Gave the car a once over before track day at Llandow tomorrow

I am currently saving for ITB's. But the set up I want is the "Performance Engine Build 2" from Engine Dynamics for the block as my +168k miler I have in it probably wont last long with any more power! The power figure I am after is ~210bhp I think I will need a rebuilt engine and cams, which I...

I cable tied mine to the old air box stap mount. But did two so it was being pulled from both directions so is like tight and not just loose in one direction.

Track cars need a bit of colour, I don't want OTT.

That is all I could see happening if I opened that attachement! 😂😂

It's sent as an attachment, I just haven't opened it. I am pretty certain it is dodgey, just couldnt get any clarification on their help searches. edit - I have actually read the email properly, I didnt see it said downloaded. Sure its a link to a webpage as it is a html file. Yeah, I am now...

Got what I think is a phishing scam e-mail from alert-180422@hotmail.com saying: It also wasn't sent to my junk folder too which most of the phising e-mails do. It has no graphics or other marking on it, it is just text. Not being a moron I have not opened the "hotmail.html" attachment. I have...
