Hi, looking at getting a snap-in harness for the occasional track day as I find in fast right hand corners I have to hold myself into the seat using the steering wheel. Just two quick questions: 1) Is it possible to fit the eye bolts to existing locations(i.e. No drilling required)? 2) And if...

Replaced my springs over the weekend took me for ever! I had real difficulty lining up the hub and the bottom of the shock to get the bolts back in, in the end had to compress the spring using the compressors, to pull the bottom of the shocks up by about 2 inches, just wondering if I missed a...

Recently my Mk1 172(X reg) has been feeling a little below par! At the time this started I put it down to the extreme heat that we were experiencing but things dont seem to have improved. The symptoms are just a lack of "va-va-voom", as Mr. Henry would say, it is slow to pick up when I put my...
