    Engine flush products?

    Im sure if they were as harmful or useless as everyone makes them out to be then nobody would use them and companies would collapse as quick as an unflushed engine :ROFLMAO: Probably wasted £10 a year on worse things

    Suspension for Road Going Sprint / Hillclimb

    Sorry cant help on that one Just seen on facebook that all changes were scrapped due to the volume of emails they received but I wouldn't take that as gospel!

    Suspension for Road Going Sprint / Hillclimb

    Yeah, under current regs you cannot replace components for rose jointed / metal replacements. Cant remember the exact wording. There was a few guys pulled for it in the scottish sprint and hillclimb championship along with solid top mounts. They were checking the whole of the class specifically...

    Suspension for Road Going Sprint / Hillclimb

    Towing with A-Frame

    You do get braked ones but unsure how efficient they are as using the cars brakes surely just results in a solid pedal and very little brakes. Have seen them advertised before

    Trailer size that is big enough for clio but fits in garage

    Please use the money you save by hiring and buy a set of tyre slings for that straps and do it properly. Servicing a trailer will be the least of your worries when that car moves or shears the wheel when the force is put on the spokes
