    Brembo upgrade worth it?

    In the final stages of the turbo conversion being finished. Are the standard 172 cup brakes good enough for track days or is it worth converting to the 197 brembos while I’m shovelling money into the car. Cars currently brembo discs with PBS track pads.

    172 cup, what I wanted to do 20 years ago

    20 years, or near enough I bought my first Clio sport, a silver phase 1, W744WTR. I had this for 2 years and loved every minute of it.

    Advocult power steering line

    Afternoon all. Has anyone fitted this? Just wondering how hard the job is, also did it make any difference to keeping the fluid cooler? Did a track day at brands and kept spitting fluid out. Have seen that redline do a power steering fluid with a higher temp rating so might try that.

    Cleaning your sticky bits

    Just thought I’d have a go as it worked on my discovery. If you go to tool station or screwfix and get a tub of big wipes scrub and clean with a bit of applied elbow grease it takes off whatever the rubber coating is. Takes a few minutes but gets rid of the sticker feeling.
