    North Weald meet, 28.01.12

    Follow the signs to the airfield on the main roads if you don't know where you're going. http://g.co/maps/sb7jg <-- This is the camo hut you're aiming for. Zoom out so you can see the whole airfield. Go in the main gate, which is at about 3 o/c on the airfield's perimeter. Go left once...

    Question for the guys that race - slick tyres & suspension question

    Pressure, temp and volume are all related in a closed environment like a tyre. If they're too high, drop a couple of psi out when you stop. ;)

    hi folks, apologies for the amount of questions coming your way !!

    Welcome. Go for a Ph1 if you can cope with the interior. Do a dash swap if you can't :o Ph1 will give you better MPG, cable throttle has a nicer feel - more 'raw' if you like. Better if you're going to be doing track days. Also you'll have plenty of cash left for trackdays etc !

    Tyre question. Parada spec2.

    They'll be fine ! Just keep an eye on pressures when you come in.

    My clio :)

    Nice catch !! Twunts. What is wrong with people FFS.

    Contract ending - SIM only or contract again ?

    Hmm. Spending more money on stuff I don't use already is not better value ! Sky tried this a while back on the landline - "in order to give you better value for money, the price of calls has gone up by x and your 'evening' hours are being shortened." Brilliant. Also funnily enough not a...

    Question for the guys that race - slick tyres & suspension question

    What were you doing with the pressures ? Were only the fronts overheating, or the rears too ? You say you were sure, but you didn't know for sure ?! What was going on...

    Contract ending - SIM only or contract again ?

    Urgh. Doubling prices across the board !? More than happy to leave when companies do stuff like that TBH. There's always going to be a better deal out there ;)

    Tyre question. Parada spec2.

    They'll be ok. Super when warm as mentioned above. They'll get you through a day of track racing at the very least, unless you're an awful pilot :rasp: If you're only buying two, you're laughing. They're only about £40 a corner in 15" ! (£28 when I got a set a few years ago :o )

    How much oil??

    Just don't empty the gearbox by mistake, eh, Rob.

    Over sensitive alarm

    For now, you could just lock it with the key ?! It'll still be immobilised...

    How much oil??

    I wouldn't bother until it actually starts to drop off. If your engine is fine, it shouldn't use any ! My 100k ph1 didn't use any. (I'm presuming this is an F4R ?)

    How much oil??

    There's normally a litre (roughly) between 'L' and 'F' on the dipstick.

    Resident Evil 6

    One of the RE games scared the be-jesus out of me when I was about 12 (where the dogs jump through the wall or something?!) .. Not as scary as playing Duke Nukem 3D with headphones on in the dark when one of those flat fish face eater things jump up on the screen ! Actual heart failure right there.

    matched inlets

    My housemate and I both had Ph1's back in the day :o Popped to JamSport one morning. Had our own inlets taken off, CNC'd and re-fitted with the PTFE gaskets. We both saw 2-3mpg increase difference on the way home and both said the same thing - much nicer to drive and pulls much better across...

    Over sensitive alarm

    I think you can swap the wires around in the sensors (on the a-pillars) and it de-sensitises it .. and you can put it into 'dog mode' with a certain turn of the key (check the manual) which disables the sensors, but then if someone actually pops a window, you won't know about it .. and that...

    My Shiny Red Toy

    Welcome ! Not a chance - these engines don't run in for 10's of thousands of miles. As long as you're not busy polishing the cylinder walls, it will get stronger and stronger as the k's roll over. :evil:

    Admiral Multi-Car. Not bad quotes! Worth it?

    Why on earth is your 83 year old Gran on there dude ?! Surely she's a higher risk than you are !

    Classic RUF.

    Ditto. The 'Ring is not exactly the smoothest surface on the planet either. Dude's got some giant cajonés though !!

    Dirt inside the headlight...Can I get it out anyway ?

    Rubber boots that go on the back of the lamp unit. The covers that you are missing....

    Disconnecting headlamp washers

    I'm presuming you don't have Xenons then ?

    Disconnecting headlamp washers

    They're there for a reason... Why would you want to stop that ?

    Dirt inside the headlight...Can I get it out anyway ?

    Also, if/when you get round to this.. buy some boots so it doesn't just happen again after a week FFS ;)

    Phase1 172 - sticky throttlebody - not the question(s) you are thinking!

    Change the throttle cable. Also, get some pics up of the Charade IMMEDIATELY !!!! Is that a Jap one ? I had a UK GTti before my old Clio ! :o

    Contract ending - SIM only or contract again ?

    Cheers Tom, already looked about and they're all more than I pay now for a phone I use less and less (as a phone rather than a camera/internet/tablet) :S Maybe I should get a 3310 and an iPad haha ! Dave - I hope they can sort me out but as they don't offer one at the moment, I'm unsure what...
