somehow I don't think you have ;) and I have a feeling your going to reach the limit of tyre traction and lock up waaaaaaay before 4 high tensile m12 bolts snap....in fact I know you do as mine haven't snapped yet and I can lock the slicks up if I want (or more usually due to talent fail,lol)

ooo, can I just get the covers in 15" wheel friendly fitment ;)

perhaps on a 1000bhp 4wd car on slicks on a jam hot day sideways on fire for a 20p clio with naff all weight in it and sod all grip (in real terms) it wont make a jot of difference if the spigot is there, not there, broken, ill fitting or otherwise. I have run spigotless, melted spigot, broken...

as above, the spigots do pretty much nothing other than locate the wheel in real terms. the 4 bolts are perfectly fine for forces well above what we throw at them. look at when cars crash, often you'll find the wheels snaps at the spokes and the central hub of the wheel still remains bolted to...

I run without spigots as I tend to loose them from time to time, doesn't make a difference tbh, the wheels centralise fine when you do up two opposing bolts evenly to allow for it. I would say the issue is as mentioned, the thread in the hubs is not perfect or the common one of the paint not...

only slight bugger is the undertray if you have one, I just bent mine out the way for the swap as I'm lazy,lol!

looks mint matey

pretty much exactly same setup I have in the mk1 and more than happy with the performance. all I need to do is grow some bigger balls to use them later and harder. I use them for open pit stuff as well, and tend to lap a lot in each stint and no overheating or fade issues until the cars...

mk1 > 182 ;)

I had a 10-20, good lens but since replaced it with a 24-105L as I found it was just too wide and distorted a bit

turbo I've had 7 years, just over 182 had for just heading towards two years now track mk1 only bought last October time iirc

yeah the gold did grow on my whilst I had those wheels on, alas not mine though :(

still cant believe you chopped that bonnet :(

imo THE car on the forum, nothing else comes close

bang tidy :)

It's at end of estate every night mate but not nosey'd over it no mate. Oh and yeah some time, seven years or so :)

yeah, I'm not spending money on pointless crap, if it doesn't improve performance its not getting spent on ;)

correct, the whole idea of the green is to divide opinion and in all honesty preferable get most people hating and going yuck. it amuses me :) if your ever on a trackday when I'm there TomSx feel free grab a shotgun ride

not easily, unfortunately input shaft rattle/whirr is hard to differentiate with release bearing issues. but tbh, the input shaft is usually a rattle not a whir, gearbox whine or whir is normally diff and that doesn't do when you depress the clutch so my moneys on cheap or faulty release...

yep

no mate not yet but in the process/discussions to get one made up

Did Blyton Park Sunday just gone, great day and only way to roll is slicks for me now, RSR's just don't cut it! lol! also looking at pics and from feel of the car I need to get some firmer front springs to get rid of some of the body roll

Had a boiling hot and thoroughly excellent day at Blyton Sunday just gone, crap morning session and then borrowed some slicks (mine were dead and not sourced more yet) for afternoon and the good times rolled!

worst comes to the worst, someone can relay down there to grab it ;)

i'll give you the tenner you lost listing it for the car ;)

as above, its not pulling straight

just stick a bit of pipe on it and plug up the end with a screw or something, just ensure the head of the screw is large enough to not get sucked up the pipe, lol! and yes air leaks into the inlet will cause it to easily idle that high if its a phase 2 172 with the wire throttle (not...

as above, snappy is the man and offers exchange if that works best for you with surcharge refund on receiving your old wheel

usual rule is you'll being to peel outer sill off, have to peel more off then expected, then expose what should be an inner sill and find nothing there either. then start chasing to the jack points and find they're gone too and on and on it goes, lol! mk1 ownership is great :)
