I’d take it for a second opinion. Preferably To someone who knows these cars properly. The ‘mechanic’ you’ve taken it to sounds like a tyre fitter are Kwik Fit. Where are you based?

*edit It’s not the same car. Reg is slightly different. As you were.... 😂

No way!! I sold that car when it was brand new!! 😂 it was a shared car between mother and daughter. They lived in Downend, round the corner from me. I have a massive soft spot for RSi’s. I actually think that point to point around town etc, they are quicker than a 172.

AR1’s literally pulled out old Abarth 500 track car apart. So much grip and sticky-ness that after every Hot track day, something was broken. Back in the NS2R’s or a wet track day on Uniroyals and it was reliable as ever. 😂

I had them on mine (I get NS2R’s for £20 each, not to) but I just couldn’t cope with the road noise on my commute. The tyre drone is louder than the radio! I’ve now opted for a second set of wheels with Uniroyal Rainsport 5’s as my daily tyres and leave the NS2R’s for track. Both sets of tyres...

If it’s a road car, Michelin Pilot Sports.

I’m valeting for a local garage at the minute to earn some dollar whilst off work. How you lot do this for pleasure is beyond me. I’m 3 cars in and ready to put my head in the microwave to cool down/end it all.

That’s a shame. Was looking forward to seeing your progress with it. ☹️

The L button is broken in his keyboard, surely??

Are you going to tell us what product you used or should we guess??

I tried that. Really didn’t like it, far too fussy for my liking.

Why would you mount safety harnesses dangerously when you can just get an extra bar welded in to the cage??

Mate they’re mega cheap. My Suzuka was £460. I can buy two Bimarco’s for that and have nearly enough change for a track day.

Thanks. I had a look on their site the other day but it’s about as user friendly as a Rottweiler with a bee up its ass. Thanks though, been a great help. 👍

It needs a new subframe, new sills, new brakes and it doesn’t start.... 😂

Perfect. Daft question alert, when you bought them, was there only one size?? Or did you have a choice. I’ve looked at two different sellers and neither of them offer a choice in size.

I’m looking at getting a pair of these. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F292344029831 Have any of you guys had them?? I currently use a GT width (shut up!) Cobra Suzuka and trying to find one the same is proving very difficult, assuming they’re...

I had a W3 that had an electric sunroof and I’m confident they all did. It was the W1 that didn’t come with one. for a total definitive answer, probably best asking on the Williams Facebook page. Most people on here weren’t even born when the Williams was launched! 😂

No mate I don’t. I’ve got too many cars, I can’t keep track. And my photo taking/uploading skills are similar to a potato. 🤦‍♂️

I bought a £1500 cup about 2 years ago. Not too dissimilar condition. I’ve spent £2k on it so far and all that’s left to do now is a front end respray. And that doesn’t include the parts I had already waiting in the garage. Will owe me £4K once finished. They’re not cheap to do! But I will...

Both are only good for breaking. Sadly.

My one was rotten. And the previous owner had paid good money to have it all repaired but they’d just filed it all with mastic and filler and painted it. It looked mint from the outside! But I was t in a position to fit new inert and outer sills etc and it wasn’t a ‘special’ car, just a...

Have you considered finding a new mechanic? One that Can actually Fix stuff?

No idea mate, I just do them up finger tight then 1/2 a turn with a ratchet. If you start the car up and it idles at 4,000 rpm, you’ve got a leak! And don’t forget to make sure you don’t crush the plug leads. That’s another favourite.

The last two Clio’s I‘ve bought, some absolute pellet has done this and rammed some wanky random bolt in there ruining the threads. It’s infuriating. It’s the simplest of tasks to remove and refit one of these bolts but the ham fisted “diy mechanics” can’t seem to grasp it.

That is all fixable and if you do it yourself, will cost you peanuts. I’d advise you to buy either a scrap car or some scrap panels and practice your welding. Do plenty of reading. Then go for it.
