Will a Mk1 pump fit in a 172 tank?

Well, im going to be using the brakes very hard :)

In an ideal world thats fine, but if your cage doesnt have harness bars at the correct level you have to make do with what you have available

I was just wondering as when I took the beam off yesterday they seemed really really spongy. I'll just replace them with some new standard ones then

Ok thanks everyone. Wear isnt really an issue, and it is cheaper to replace one peice discs of almost any make rather then the 2 part bell/rotor discs I have on my Mk1 Also only do about 60 stage miles a month max

How good are Brembo Max discs compared with standard ones, as the standard ones look pretty good to start with. Will be using Wilwood 4 pots with them, and I dont mind which discs I use, but I already have a couple of pairs of decent standard discs and dont want to ditch them if there isnt...

Just get some proflex, ohlin or similar if you want to spend silly money

what if you grind the galvinising off first where you are going to lay beads?

Aslong as you dont breathe the fumes its not really a problem is it?

yeah, dont know what make they are off hand; keep meaning to look :)

That what i thought, we tried some and they just got ripped apart and sucked into the inlet :) What else then?

Anyone know if anyone does an uprated bush for the rear beam?

It's a bit hard to know where to start now the car is back, but really the first thing to do is get the shell prepped as much as possible, get everything that needs to be welded welded and primed. Here are the pics from today, took the rear beam off to get it cleaned and painted, and the...

That pic was from about the third corner :) The other white clio went a couple of weeks ago

What do you recommend to use instead of an airbox? individual socks?

oh, its a F7R... I think the reason it seems so quiet is that noise tests are done at 4500 rpm (although they SHOULD be at 3/4 max revs), and the engine was built to rev to about 8-9k easily. Its just not doing alot at those revs. Plus, it has got a rubbish exhaust on it now

Mine is about 94db, it's embarassing :( It did used to be over 100, but its got a lot fewer nobbins on it now

I was going to get 2-3 of these http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ModuleNo=48775&doy=28m12 and see if they were any good for demisting. The linkage from the sequential will go through the bulkhead right where the water pipes go through for the heater

Not having a heater is a real pain if it is wet and you are trying not to mist up. Probably not going to beable to put mine back in, so will have to go with either a heated front screen, or some dash mounted blower things

Ive seen this before on events (it's probably illegal now), and it has had alot of lightening done to make it as quick as it is

Wilwood Brembo Compbrake

I think you mean 'ultra awesome' This is a pic from near the start of what turned out to be a cold and wet weekend. It didnt get any better than this, and ended when something in the gearbox went *clunk* and 4th gear started making very very expensive noises :(

Im sure they had enough trouble without useless airbags going off in their face

Those tyre marks make it look like it was already out of control before it hit that mud. Either that or they are from something else

How the hell did you break one? Ive seen them take alot of abuse over the years but never seen oe break

If you fit some heat shielding in between the exhaust and tunnel you should be ok.... ... or you could mount your seats on the roof :)

Well, its hard to know really, and at the end of the day you are only going to be reflecting the heat somewhere else where it might cause problems. Case in point, my rally car had an expensive highly tuned engine in it, with a berillium exhaust manifold and exhaust system. After wrapping the...

Oreca list some in their catalogue, but I have no idea on the spec or manufacturer as my technical French is rubbish. 38 euros each (i guess) you can browse their catalogue online at http://www.orecaonline.fr/catalogues/catacompet07/catacompet07.html

Sensor which works off a stud or something, sort of like how an ABS sensor works

Colway went bust a month or two ago. Maxsport do similar retreads..... But they are both not the best tyre around
