The only weight saving thing I want are poly carb windows but other things are more on the list first. I am not skinning panels or removing anything from the loom. In theory my car could be put back together with ease as I haven't cut any cables, the CD changer wires are still under the seats...

Really, were you bored?! Haha. Thanks! I've learnt and re-learnt loads doing it, got out of practice since moving out and going to uni. I know it has been a bit slow as I don't live where the car is kept, hopefully I get offered a new job (been told I should get a formal offer this week) and I...

The spanners and adjusters are kept in the car so there really is no excuse! Fantastic, glad it is an easy job! The bottom adjusters things for height, top for spring rating/stiffness?

I hope they are the right pad as I can't send them back as I have ground two down!! Good, everyone is saying what I was thinking. Hope cleaning the caliper and no shims will be the biggest difference and not more off the pad. As the pads are now the same 'length' as the previous pads so fit in...

I painted mine with a brush with Dulux gloss. Less than a litre was used, did a few coats too. The finish is good and many people have complimented it. And you have a tin of paint for touch up as it is inevitable to get marked. Although I would reccomend fitting some form of matting in the...

Yeah I haven't touched ride height, but now I know it needs doing as I noticed the other drive shaft has done the same. Presume it is an eay job to do, like wheel off and move the right adjuster nut thing? Or do I need to remove the lower shock bolts? I have never changed ride height on any car!

Bought some Ferodo DS2500 pads and had a bit of issue fitting them. I removed some of the paint/material on the ends to get them to fit Managed to get them into the calipers after a very long time and a lot of struggle but they wouldn't slide. Got annoyed as the car needed to be working so...

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??
