Despite my little off I had a good day, cheers to the organisers.. hopefully back for the next one and manage to keep the car on the track 👌

I've got Mintex racing MRM1801 pads and RBF600 fluid, I'm going to replace the front pads with some PBS ProRace and fit a new rear compensator.. along with all of the other bits that need replacing

Well that's not quite how I wanted my day to end, session one was slow with not knowing the track etc, session two felt a lot better but the front pads were smoking when I came in so sat out session three. Went out for session four and binned it on the second (I think) lap. Still not totally...

Unsurprisingly my car has decided to throw a fit this morning, went into limp mode with throttle position track A P0120 error.. Has anyone at CSF got a 172 throttle pedal in their spares box?

Is anyone else staying in one of the lodges at Kenwick park? I should be arriving there about 7/8pm Friday

I've had Philips ones in a previous halogen light car and they don't last long, Osrams last much longer

I had plans for a final weekend of CSF prep, fitting the stub axle spacers and rear camber shims, and checking the alignment. Managed to pull my back (recurring problem) during the week but thought I'd be alright to crack on today. Got the car jacked up and one rear wheel off and tweaked my...

I'd never double stack sandwich plates, you're asking for trouble. As has already been said, either buy a plate with a port for sensors, or fit them elsewhere - tap into the pressure switch for pressure and either the sump or oil cooler line pre-cooler for temp. I've got a mocal billet...

I've got a BTB on mine, it's well made, much nicer than the Ktec stealth I took off. With a cat and two silencers it's fairly quiet too. If there's a decent fabricator near you I'd definitely look into getting one made, that way it'll be a nice TIG welded job that fits the car properly rather...

I've used a Citroen C1 seatbelt buckle, depending on what seat/side mounts you've got you could re-use the OEM bucket and pretensioner Theres a few threads on here that say 3.3 ohm is the right resistors to get

Took the Clio to Pistonheads Sunday service this morning The Fairmont had a LS in it with a massive single turbo.

Thanks mate 👍

Yeah, the kits come with instructions and there's loads of how-to guides on YouTube.

I bought a zinc plating kit and did everything myself for my engine build/front end refresh, it's about £200 outlay but having got stuff plated for other projects and losing the will to live fishing through a bucket of fasteners to work out what went where I think it's worth it so you can keep...

Got my seat fitted today, it's much lower which is nice, but despite the seat being as far over to the centre of the car as it can be the steering wheel feels more off centre than with the stock seat, looking at the stock seat it is offset on the base so it's just something I'll have to live...

If it's fitted it has to be tested and work, even the reference they've used states it's a fail.

You can get an LED replacement from a place called Barthel auto solutions, I have one fitted to mine, however if the light isn't fitted it can't be tested so a strip of black electrical tape over it will be a pass too...

Cheap Amazon pressure bleeder works really well for solo brake bleeding https://amzn.eu/d/06mWk0fw

Mine are the black series ones and fitted no bother with a freshly powder coated ARB.

I wanted to fit the bucket seat this weekend but another job took priority. When I was fitting the oil cooler I noticed the bottom corners of the radiator looked a bit wet, not willing to risk a failed rad leaving me at the side of the road I ordered a Nissens replacement. It was on offer with...

My aluminium arrived on Friday, so I've put the printed bits together and test fitted it For anyone wanting to do the same you'll need: 2200mm 19mmx1.6mm round tube X2 800mm 19x19x1.6 square tube X2 600mm 19x19x1.6 square tube X8 280x280x3mm aluminium plate X4 (this is for the turning...

That's what mine looks like, it looks like you've got the wrong size bush. IIRC the cup models have a 1mm thicker ARB

That's mine, it's a BTB rather than a Ktec but the extra hanger takes the weight off the centre section mount

What exhaust do you have? I had a second hanger made for my back box and it's much more secure

I bought one of those poly exhaust mounts for mine, split in exactly the same place without the car ever being driven, absolute pony. Went back to a stock one and it's been fine.

looking good mate, I'll dig out my timing tools this weekend if you're still after a lend of them?

it will cost you as much to get it cerakoted than it would to get a new stainless exhaust. https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/vht-flameproof-very-high-temperature-spray-paint-7000879/?srsltid=AfmBOoobeEjYNuyvknjyPQQmPm16MzQS1I2ucHnuI7fZGRs32wBY0nyW I've used this before with good results, I did...

I won't be selling it, I haven't got a printer (yet) and the lad that printed them for me is maxed out with his sideline of printing military trinkets. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4632013 That's the link to the free STL files I used, anyone with a printer can produce them, you'll just...

That's what the 3d printed bits look like, the STL files are on thingiverse, you just need to buy some 19mm ali, I've bought some Ali plates to make some turn plates too Should look like this when it's together
