When I first got the car I am adamant I saw a piece of paper that it came with which said 862kg but I cannot seem to find this piece of paper again.....but I am very sceptical about this figure. I think I can add about 100kg onto that figure! I would like to get it weighed, see how far away I am...

I removed my air bag from mine when I got the top dash flocked and it did leave a hole. So I glued a piece of thin black plastic underneath to cover it up. Pictures in my progress thread if you need.

This sounds complex!!! I hate anything electronincs or electrical!!! I may just get what fits without modifications!! WIll have to have a look before I buy and then not get it now

How revised? Will it work in in an old loom if mine isn't the new loom? The car is an X reg originally.

Apparently there are two crank sensors I can get for the Ph1 - a blue one and a black one. I don't have the car at hand to check what one I need, but what is the difference? Think I read somewhere that the blue ones are not as good. But will either work on the car? I think I remember that it is...

May have to wait until next month to pay for this 😧 need tyres, exhaust and tracking done on the Ph1. Its that or I eat beans and pot noodles for the rest of February

Tyres have now been ordered, so when fitting them I will get a 4 wheel alignment. I am thinking it is alignment, but just wanted to check as I would be annoyed if it wasn't then it is money wasted on the new tyres and alignment!!! Thanks for the advice

I can deal with toe in as that is solved by aligning properly. Was just worried that it was put together wrong. It was just that both fronts have gone exactly the same, so maybe the set up I had on standard shocks with the new shocks and spacershas pushed the toe in equally both sides.

Gave the car it's first clean since Semptember! This was the state of it after driving it to North Wales and back Looks a lot better now after a wash and less of a sorry state. Did get up to 48mpg on the drive up, but did do the M6/M56 junction in an excitable manner so it dropped to 47mpg...

Done a bit of poking around. No error codes were recorded when the EML came on, which is annoying. I am just going to replace the crank sensor as a precaution anyway. Step dad thinks the "popping" noise from the exhaust when it doesn't start but turns over could be timing issues as it is firing...

The outsides of my front tyres have worn and need replacing. Both fronts have worn exactly the same and the same amount. I have just put new suspension and front spacers on and I know I need to get a proper wheel alignment. I am going to go for a standard set up. But what is causing the outsides...

Quick look on blackcircles.com and the AD08r's are £75 each fitted. I could go for two this month and the rear two next month. Is that a good price? I just need to see if the garage I was going to get my wheel alignment done is a black circles fitter or they will fit tyres not bought from there...

May have just gone through two front tyres......balls. Need to decide what to get as I fancy a change from the T1R's, any suggestions??? . Probably should get 4 of whatever I have and go matching on the back as they are some semi budget things. An expense I didn't want to have this month! Oh and...

I am yet to set mine up, I am not certain on the ride height that I have let alone damping! Will take it out on track and then decide. Headlights were very simple - heat them up with a heat gun and prise the plastic lens off. Then wipe the chrome off with a damp cloth (think I had white...

The tow vehicle I want to get is a Discovery. Easily capable of towing, comfortable and can use it daily. Used to have one that towed a Fiesta track car years ago and it did that with ease.

I have no idea what spring rating they are sorry!! @Dr Jekyll may know as they were his before me. What other suspension upgrades have you done, as I put solid top mounts on too and a rear anti roll bar and it feels stiff, but that is what I wanted for track use. Driving down small lanes is now...

Not had a proper chance to look at this yet, but the EML was flashing after I started it the other day after struggling to start. Solved that by turning the car off and on again! Then I thought it could be injector issue. I did have a problem back in August where it was sat for a week in heavy...

I'll sort this out when I'm back home Sunday evening. Currently I won't be on track......but I'll probs end up buying one!!

My car only has two seats...can I get two more people to crouch in the back to get my three passenegrs in?? 😂😂 lol On a serious note, when/how do I pay for the ticket. Annnddd...my step dad will hopefully have his Corsa ready by then, can I offer a space on the stand to...

Which sensor is this?

I have no idea!! I havent touched anything on the engine to remove something. I will go check tomorrow in the day light.

I didn't think of that. Any reason why it should do that? Leaky pipe? Fuel pump starting to fail?

Basically came to start the car after a week today and it wouldn't start - it turns over fine, battery isn't flat, can hear 'poping' from the exhaust to suggest compression, but it is as if you need to give it a bit of throttle to help it (that did nothing). Cranked over for about 20seconds in...

Changed the cable on Friday and it seems to have worked. If it gets worse then I will have to look at the TB

Should really learn how to upload pictyres direct from my phone instead of having to wait to come home to use the computer! The throttle cable change was a sucess! Did lose skin from my kunckels as I was removing the arch lining and slipped. But I think this may have been to do with the problem...

I'm taking it up to see the girlfriend in North Wales next week, so the 4 hour drive there and another 4 hours back should give it time to settle, then I'll fanny around with the ride height. I can see myself getting proper OCD setting it up, and it taking all day to get it just right haha. Oh...

Direct from Pure Motorsport, £140 including the delivery charge. Bought from their website

Ahh ok, I will give it more of a drive and drive it how it will be used and then take it from there.

Yes! It seems to do the job. I still need to drive it a bit more and set the ride height. Although I don't want to go too much lower as I think you had the height spot on, plus I won't be able to get on the drive!!! How was your damping set up? I read you had 10clicks from softest, not sure if...
