    Wifi Extenter

    I have an old router but it doesn't work what I want it to do. I will have a look at that in a bit, as I know Scan are a bit pricey, especially their postage!

    Wifi Extenter

    I need to get a wifi extender as I am currently using a wired connection for my PC but would like the wifi for my phone and other stuff. The set up I currently have is: A wired connection direct from the router as wfi doesn't reach my flat. The router is in my land lords house, I live in a...

    Ph1 172, M4, Jnc 13 towards Newbury.......

    You're a guy so there is no desire to FB stalk. When I start working on mine I am sure the motivation will be there. It's my birthday Saturday and I have asked for some nice car parts so that will get my arse into gear at least!!! Really...my little Ph2 which is never washed or cleaned??! I'd...

    Ph1 172, M4, Jnc 13 towards Newbury.......

    I was not stalking you on FB honest! Just saw it on the CS owners page. The car looked familiar as it had boot aero catches, but I couldn't remeber which one! You got yours back on the road before I have even started tinkering with mine....I am going to have to get my arse into gear. In my...

    Ph1 172, M4, Jnc 13 towards Newbury.......

    .....leaving the 500 Abarth standing! I was going to join in the humiliation of the 500 but then realised I wasn't in my 172 and in the daily 1.4 :weary: Looking smart though! Made me realise how much I miss driving mine daily and I need to get it back on the road sooner than next summer

    What are you doing to your track car over Winter?

    * Even more weight loss from the inside + painting it a dark grey * Braided brake lines * Coil overs * Solid Engine mounts * Poly bushing the front end (if I have time and money left!) It's been left at my parents for a few weeks now and I haven't touched it as I was away for two weekends with...

    sburrell's ph1 172 track project (maybe)

    How easy is it to remove the tar stuff? I need to do it on mine before I paint the interior, which I want to start later this month Also like your attitude in removing the front carpets! That's how I removed mine, I was doing another job and decided the front carpets needed a clean so I...

    What should be my next few mods and why

    My 172 had buckets and harnesses and that was a daily drive for 2 years (it's now a track car again). I enjoyed driving it with them, but as you said there are practical issues.....ticket machines, toll booths, reduced visibility as it is harder to move about..... But they do improve the driving...

    What should be my next few mods and why

    Wouldn't do the seats if it is a daily drive or have no intention of putting it on the track. Keep them standard I would say a race style steering wheel, they look pretty cool. What colour callipers? If they are a bold colour could use it as an accent colour, like on the door bullets

    Will a Bumper fit in my Boot?

    Yes. It's a tight fit. But you need to put it over the front passenger seat like Dangerous Dave said. And also wrap it up in a towel or something to avoid damage to the bumper and interior. I got a bath in a Fiat Cinquecento before, and a boot lid of a Triumph 2000. Not at the same time though

    Advice Needed

    You have to be really trusting if you want to believe them IMO as if that goes wrong then it is very expensive. I personally would walk away. As said history is everything. I'm at 166k miles and I have a massive stash of receipts from the previous owner and I have added to that. Everything is...

    Connected to the Internet but it keeps timing out

    Ok...so.....I had tried a few system restored, uninstall iTunes and that but nothing. Managed to get the router reset and it is all fine! I am not sure what the problem was, but I ma thinking that unpdating iTunes had caused a clash with the network settings and maybe something i had done plus a...

    Connected to the Internet but it keeps timing out

    Computer - yes, server all times. It needed to be restarted to make some of the IP changes and resets. I also did a basic restore to last week when everything was fine. Router - no, I can't get into the main house! I am hoping it will either sort itself out over night or with a router restart...

    Connected to the Internet but it keeps timing out

    Laptop is dead and I don't have a charger for it. Did go for a wonder in the garden and connected my phone to the wifi and it was either reallllly slow or it has got the same problem. I can't log into the router, I can force reset the password as the "admin" "changeme" password doesn't work...

    Connected to the Internet but it keeps timing out

    Ok now iTunes is causing my CPU to go mental so what I apparently "fixed" isn't working. But I can't help but wonder if updating iTunes, it causing my CPU to go mental and not being able to get onto the Internet are all linked. I am more annoyed about the lack of Internet

    Connected to the Internet but it keeps timing out

    Updated iTunes yesterday, all fine. Then today my CPU was being dominated by photostream.exe (or something similar) and I couldn't access the Internet, despite being connected. Solved the CPU issue with a simple google search. But I still can't get onto the Internet, although I am connected! It...

    Manual Steering Rack

    Previous track cars I have owned didn't have PAS.....Triumph 2000 and a Mk1 Fiesta. Didn't noticed it on track, but did at slow speeds pulling onto and off the track. I will not comment on the Triumph's other handling "issues" lol

    Splitters and Canards

    The main reason I am getting some. If the car has been in a wind tunnel and has a body design that has been designed with aero dynamics in mind then they will make an improvement, but a Renault Clio.....I dount it. But as you said, they do look cool and IMO add to the "Race Car" look.

    Phase 1 wheel colour. Anthracite or black??

    If the car is very standard and OEM then silver, or a darker silver, but not anthracite. The black works on DannyR's as it has a few extra things like the mirrors being black and a cage. if it is a track toy then the colour has to be full yobo and in your face....but that is just my opinion!

    Splitters and Canards

    of course there is a difference......#BecauseRaceCar. I was under the impression that to ge the most out of a front splitter / rear diffuser the car has to be slammed with a flat floor, but don't quote me on that! Also the canards look cool therefore increase performance by 34.574% and I will...

    Magnetic sump plug. This the right one?

    Exactly the same as what I bought a month a go for my Ph1. But as already stated you will need a large socket for it!!

    The Fatty's KTEC alternative induction setup that works just as well!

    I used a joining pipe to connect the filter to the hose and then a second to join the two hoses together

    Track phase 182

    That is some serious effort going on! You are putting mine to shame (which isn't hard tbh).

    Kit's Ph1 172

    Thanks!! I want braided brake lines and most of the interior painted by the end of November. Then coil overs done by February, and then engine mounts I may take it to a garage to do when it is legal again. I can only work on the car at the weekends as it is not with me and I will have to see my...

    SORN Advice

    Yeah I don't see the point of keeping it taxed when it is off the road not being used for a long period of time. The insurance is going to lapse at the end of the month, need to look at insuring it as an "item" and not a vehicle on the road. I have a new policy on the new daily drive to keep my...

    SORN Advice

    Car iasn't in Reading, it's near Gloucester at my parent's. Mainly so I can get help from my brother! All the jobs I want to do he has already done on his old track car so he knows what he is doing! Actually have the confirmation e-mail now and it says this: So that is until I tax it again...

    :anguished: wuuuuuut??! If it gets to that stage then something has gone wrong with the work I am planning on doing as it should be on the road well before this time next year
