I’m trying to help an elderly neighbour who’s husband recently passed away. He looked after all the money and left no details of his logins, bank accounts etc. I’ve used the usual tricks to get administrator access to the box and get files off there, but it would be so much better to log in as...

Sharing this here because a lot of people seemed to like it when I posted it as a picture from a track day I did. Friend of mine is selling his MX-5. He’s following his usual pattern of spunking an absurd amount of money on a car, then deciding he wants something else and selling it. I say...

Anyone fancy a nice Scooby? https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1998-subaru-impreza-sti-22b-3 Be quick, just under three hours to go. Oh, and you'll need something north of ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THOUSAND POUNDS F. M. L.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204034580412 Very nice. It’s on FB too, seller wants £14k and change which seems a bit toppy but it’s got all the spec. Think it’s pretty well known as being a good build? Certainly has the right names attached to it, Rensport, EFI, engine dynamics. Surprised it...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363855386608 Oddly, the listing fails to mention : Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively damaged significantly reducing structural strength (5.3.6 (a) (i)) Going back through the MoT history is...... well...... it's something :ROFLMAO:

Nice project car with a minor issue, probably an easy fix, just don't have time to do it myself. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325179753286 Yeah, OK, it needs an engine. Twenty minute job for someone with the right skills, amiright?

Yesssssssss!

Looks like a tidy conversion, anyone seen it before or know anything about it? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265290336105

Mmmmmmmmm....... It’s all the money for one of these but it’s got the lot and some good names in terms of tuning and maintenance too. Anyone driven one of these with the Ohlins? Wondering if it makes it a bit more civilised in terms of ride quality than the standard cup suspension...

I'm looking for a recommendation for a decent set of headphones which I can also use in the office. Don't mind if they're USB or Bluetooth but these are the criteria: Good sound quality for listening to music Lightweight and comfortable for extended use, I could easily be wearing them three or...

Whats good these days for jacks and axle stands? Don’t mind spending a bit of money for decent quality kit so not looking at £30 eBay special jacks (unless they’re decent - some hope!) My t(rusty) old 2 tonne Halfords jack has served me pretty well, but it’s not low entry and is achingly slow...

Anyone played it yet? Reviews look good and I loved the earlier games. I've got it. My internet connection is a bit crap so I pre-ordered from Amazon on disc to avoid having too much of a download wait, was expecting the usual day 1 patch malarky. Wasn't expecting it to grab about 4Gb of 46...

Many years ago I used to be properly into hi-fi kit, pretty much knew the "best" components to get at every price point (or at least what the mags said they were), blah blah blah. My own system was very modest 'cos I was only a kid and had to save up for everything, but I'd now like to get a...

I've got a stud conversion on the 200 which is starting to show it's age, certainly a good few years old now and there's a fair amount of surface corrosion taking hold. I've been looking at replacing them, but TBH for my purposes I don't see any particular advantage in running studs over bolts...

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the 200 ABS system, ideally the whole lot but specifically looking for the connections from the ABS loom to the front right sensor. Trying to trace a fault, sensor has been replaced so the next step is the wiring.

I don't really want Clip because that means getting it all set up on a laptop and I don't need the extra stuff that Clip gives you. I just want a hand-held code reader that can talk Renault specific fault codes as well as standard OBDII codes - e.g. the Clio had a throttle pedal disagree code...

I'm on call this weekend so stuck at home, and it's raining so I can't go and tinker with the cars. I thought it was as good a time as any to put a "project so far" thread together as it's already gone way, way beyond what I thought would happen with it. Also I made some pretty classic mis-steps...

Just put the white line onto the hard setting, bit concerned about how the bush is sitting. The other side is flat but this side is on the c**k - should I try to correct it or is this just how they sit on hard? I'm at thruxton so could do with a quick answer ;) Cheers, John

I've seen a few track day Clios now with holes drilled in the back bumper, usually in the centre of the bumper in a row of five or six, diameter probably about an inch and a half to two inches. Why do people do this? I have a drill, and a long boring Sunday ahead of me, idle hands and all that...

I've had a search but can't find anything useful. I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that stripping the arch liners out exposed an engine pulley so could be a bit dodgy but I can't find anything to back that up. I'm taking the fog lights out today and was thinking of taking the arch liners...

It was a bloody good day :)

If the weather is looking a bit mixed I'm going to be taking a spare set of wheels and a trolley jack to trackdays with me. Thing is, the rear of the car is stripped, so how do I carry them safely and securely? I imagine a cargo net using the existing fixing points is the way to go but...

I know that a lot of the suspension on my 182 cup is knocking on a bit and although it's going through the MoT with no worries it's feeling a little vague and under-damped so I've decided to do a refresh. So far I've got the following: Set of OE shocks Cooksport springs OE wishbones with...

This little lot should make a difference on the next track day :)

OK I understand the concept of offsets, and I know the 182 Cup runs ET45 as standard. What I've not been able to find out is if it's going to be a problem if I go to ET35 or ET 40. I'm looking for a set of 15" wheels for track use, probably running 195 width tyres in 55 or 50 profile. The main...

Odd question maybe, but here goes. I've modded a few cars in the past and enjoyed the extra grip and better handling, but sometimes that has come at the expense of fun/involvement. I'm completely in love with the level of feedback I get from my well worn 182 but I know if I refresh the...

Retrimmed wheel: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321556444871 Spacer: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321556704918 If I sell them directly rather than through eBay I can let them go a bit cheaper so make me an offer. Cheers, John

Hi, I've just fitted a new squib from a breaker after having buggered up the wiring in my old one. Problem is I've now got the ESP/traction control light on. I've had it on Clip and it reports the steering wheel angle as something like 80,000 degrees and it won't reset - I think it's probably...
