@Touring_Rob I don’t suppose you have a pic of yours so I can see which route you took with the braided lines to rear brakes do you?

Have a couple of photos from the photographer from the day but this one was my favourite. As the tyres were crap I noticed the cameraman on the wiggler so went full send for a few laps to get some air time.

That’s the plan with the mattress. I think the issue I had is that I had a double sleeping bag so there was to much air in there to get warm. I was folding in half, upside down, head in, head out. Literally the worst nights sleep I’ve had in ages lol.

I’m going to sleep in the back of the x5 I reckon. No way am I EVER sleeping in a tent again. 2 duvets, hot water bottle, cushions off the sofa, I’m going to town with it. Luckily I booked today off work so all I’ve done is sleep 😂

Mate I woke up at 3.30am dithering 😂 I needed to do something to waste the time.

Blyton 09/06. An epic evening on Saturday night camping over in prep for Sundays track day. 3 of us camped over, 1 in a camper (definitely the best choice) and two of us tenting. Got to the circuit around 5pm and caught the last few keen beans going around track. My mate (who owns my previous...

They are but if I can replace the whole shebang of lines, ignoring what is there already before I double check what else would I need? Ideally from BRT so I can order it all in one go.

Is there anywhere else I can add braided hose to replace originals while I’m doing it?

It was behind this clip

Correct. Right behind one of the clips that runs across the rear beam. Had just put AR1 on to go full send after using an old set of NS2R which were absolutely horrendous but epic fun at the same time. Tyre squeal was horrific! Only noticed the leak when I put the jack under to swap the...

Just had a brake line split and end my day at Blyton early. Which kit do I need to get to replace the whole rear hard lines with braided? I have braided hoses to the caliper already and they are fine.

Just to update. I gave up.

I’ve bought some vinyl wrap for my track 172 but I’m just not getting the time to have a bash at it myself. Is there anyone on here who could do the front and rear bumper, side wings and rear quarters if I supply the material which I already have. Really want to get it done but wrap shops...

All ready for Blyton for next Sunday. New handbrake cables fitted - I went for the Febi ones and fitment was fine. Sorted a few little niggly bits where the exhaust was clanging around a bit so that’s all nice and tight now. Bought another set of OZ F1 aswell to Chuck some old NS2R I have...

Are we still talking about cleaning products here?

I’ll try some of that what you said, see if it fetches it off

If you zoom in you can see the bits I mean in the corners and also inside of the rim itself. Auto finesse iron x hasn’t really helped at all apart from making them look cleaner. The hardened particles are still stuck in place.

Not much purple running off them now. It’s like stuck on bits of metal is the only way I can describe it. Like you could pick them off with your nail, only you can’t.

Bought some alloys purely for track use which are white. They have etched in brake dust and wondered what you guys find best to remove and the method. I’ve bought some iron out which has got the non stubborn dust off however the more stubborn black dots in the corners don’t want to shift...

Did you get a qualification after all?

At which bit? Do I need to keep the brown tunnel piece in place or does this come out

At which bit? Do I need to keep the brown tunnel piece in place or does this come out?

How the hell do you do this. Literally pissing me off trying to get the handbrake cable out towards rear of the car.

Removing the handbrake completely as the cables were shot when I did the rear Calipers. How the hell do I remove the cable where it tunnels through? It’s pissing me off. I cut the metal end off at the caliper end, disconnected from the adjuster end and pulled the inner cable through towards...

Going to start planning the weekend soon, times leaving etc. very excite. What time can we get into the paddock on Friday? Do we get a garage on the Friday or sort on Saturday morning?

Right so… I’ve managed to fix everything. New Calipers on, new spacers on, new discs on, new pads in. The handbrake had seized on and not being able to get my hands on new cables I’ve just removed the handbrake completely. No need for it on track car so one less thing to go wrong. You were...

The issue I have is I’m changing the calipers and you can see how destroyed the threads are from the issue with the old discs. What are my options here then…

Anybody know what size and length these bolts are?

Mine does the same on track car and has done for a while. Goes away when warm. I was worried about it to start with but hasn’t caused any issues. I could see it being annoying if it’s your daily.
