    DAB aerial and phone mic placement?

    One of those stick on dab aerials I presume? I read that they don't work very well on the windscreen due to the uv layer etc so I ran mine to the passenger side rear window. Where it doesn't seem to work very well. I'm not sure if it's the aerial that's s**t or my alpine hu though. I'd suggest...

    Cheaper insurence loophole

    That dude on the TV says best time to renew is 21 days before your policy ends. Whole insurance industry is a f**king joke. So when you took out a policy on your new car did you just say it's a car you already own? Is it that rather than ticking the box marked "a car I've just bought" that...

    Why members don’t attend meets?

    I've been to a few meets organised by Renaultsportclub.co.uk and although they all come across as nice people they are a hard group to infiltrate. The forum is basically one man posting stuff and the usual crowd attending meets. They did feed us free bacon butties though!

    Why members don’t attend meets?

    We did a few nice driving meets with a pub finale a couple of years ago in the Yorkshire group but after a good turnout for the first one there was a usual few that made it out again. I can't fathom why people buy a drivers car but don't want to go out for a drive on some decent roads once in a...

    Chris' Petrol Blue Project

    Yeah it's definitely been a labour of love/hate this one. Somebody will get a very special clio though.

    @Tim. Posted this in Facebook and a guy on there said he makes them. Reputable though? Who knows. PMS may have been wise to stay away from the 280 set up, probably more so to manufacture from steel. Apart from the group buy on here I've only seen Tessa Motorsport making aluminium 280 brackets...

    Lol at surprised how much attention it gets. The stickers don't exactly help it blend in mate????

    Looks like my bean got written off this aft :(

    If the car was a good one and you have no intention of selling anyway would it matter to you if it was cat whatever registered? If you have some change left after buy back and repair you'd probably not be any worse off when you do sell it.

    Can an admin add a poll to the thread for the date's? Or maybe start a fresh one just to collect names and date preferences?

    Dam that's a bummer. I hate fucktards who don't put their bloody hand brake on! Just have it dumped in your usual parking space and put a for sale thread in here ASAP if your unable to do anything with it or need the room for another car. Someone will save it or break it if you can't.

    Failed Brembo brackets

    5xxx and 6xxx have good resistance and are suitable for marine applications, 5xxx are better though. Making them out of steel is no problem, I can do some to mount milled calipers to 300 discs is anyone wants to got up from 280 discs.

    They are basically a spacer though so not really stressed. Aluminium should be upto the job.

    Failed Brembo brackets

    I'm not sure that is galvanic corrosion an dI'm sure it's nothing to do with the caliper being machined. If you look at Tim's frist pic you can see where the caliper and bracket meet there is no damage, but in the third pic the bracket has broken apart. Looking at the group buy thread for those...

    81 Lbf then, f**king metric shyte! I'm having a play with the stress analysis in Inventor but it's confusing the hell out of me so far?. Design is done and drawing printed out. I have some blocked up at work already and proved the stud fitment last week so I'll try to knock a set up this week.
