    Best products to decontaminate paintwork snd wheels?

    It's what I use on mine

    Typically leave it for 5-10 minutes. Don't let it dry.

    Best products to decontaminate paintwork snd wheels?

    It's not a gimmick, it's thioglycolic acid that's oxidising the iron, it turns red/purple when it does this. It's citric acid and ammonia, that's also why the stuff stinks!

    That WD40 stuff won't touch baked on brake dust. Trust me, IronX or Bilt Hamber Autowheel. A decent ceramic coating on the wheels helps, but I've found the heat soon kills the coating even though they are high temp compatible.

    172/182 vs modern hot hatches. On track....

    What did I say 😉

    My 182ff track car build (so far)

    The seat only holds you in place anyway, the harnesses are the bit that restrain you in a crash 😉

    knock sensor for omex 600

    The standard knock sensor is a single wire type iirc.

    It did look to be in the 12's from what I could tell with it flickering.

    Have you got a print out of your graph with an afr graph too?

    My 182ff track car build (so far)

    Aye I knew about the afr numbers. At 14ish which is stoich, you wouldn't want to be at that all the time as you wouldn't make power. Ideal for idle though. Mine is in the 12's at mid to high rpm, also dyno'd at efi.

    Yeah he knows his stuff, just sounded high.

    Always get flickering with cameras for LED stuff. Isn't 14.2 lean as f**k? Especially at WOT. I'd have thought 12's would have been about right for NA.

    IronX for brake dust and Autosmart Tardis for tar/rubber marks.

    Steering squeak driving me insane

    I'd probably say the footwell side was easier.

    Grease the union joint where it comes through the bulkhead.

    Looks like it's jumping around a bit, although that could just be a frame rate/LED illusion but i'd say it was a wideband AFR.

    Backbox heatshield - just remove it?

    No issues removing it. The boot floor on mine only gets slightly warm on mine on trackdays.

    You'll still have 3 others holding it down. If all 4 were flat I'd imagine you'd just tighten it down more.

    Like this really

    Fitting rear camber shims

    Just make sure you fit the spacers the right when round when fitting. There's a tapered side and a flat side. Tapered faces the stub axle and the bearing of the disc faces the flat

    Just above half way, so slightly above the centre bore on the wheels. That way they're pulling front to back and down at the same time. Not too tight that it crushes your tyres though.

    Get some wheel chokers for those ratchet straps mate, you shouldn't tying it down like that, vosa will have you 😉

    172 not reving past 5000rpm

    I think they just updated the wiring because they were renowned for breaking.

    Uprated 4 pick up crank sensor? Didn't know there was one.

    Gripper LSD and Traction Control

    Don't need TC on track anyway IMO. Every time I've forgotten to turn it off its been really intrusive.

    Oil Changes at home - pumping out via the dipstick...

    Not worth the effort, just crack the drain plug off.

    Fitting rear camber shims

    @George@RTR_Parts is spot on, you'll have no issues ordering with him. Genuine rear discs and the washers behind the discs and you'll be good to go.

    Turn the nut on the rusty bolts, not the torx head. Top tip 😂
