Went along to BTCC media day at Donington park last Tuesday. Donington always frustrates me as there are very few places to take half decent shots unless you are media. I managed to sneak around the back of the track previously on test days by the craners but on media day i was in the main...

I am trying to integrate a website I run to a newly created facebook page and / or App Its a fantasy football league which I would like to update regularly. I have setup the page with me as admin I have also setup an app which, for now, are both called the same thing which i believe they have...

Today I attended the Brands Hatch RS trackday at which 3 x new LHD Clio 200 Turbo's were in attendance, with a flame red available to drive which I did at 3pm when the track had dried out. I managed to have a play in the 200T when it was dry and had and interesting time. Coming from the 5 gear...

I am curious about the seat runners for the Clio 3 and if possible would like a picture of the subframe / runner area. Specifically, if both runners are at the same level or if the inner one is raised (as per the clio 2 design) ? and if so by how much approximately. Ta Rob

Got my dampers back from rebuild over the weekend and posted a thread up over on CT http://www.cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/51528-Sachs-Damper-Rebuilt-General-Maintenance-Guide

Hi. I have noticed for some time that the Trophy has been drinking oil and having recently done a reguar oil change and Oulton yesterday I appear to have consumed close to 1 litre of oil thrashing the arse off it. Dont see clouds of smoke but definitely burning it as not dropping at all and...

As per usual I attended teh BTCC at Donington as its my local circuit. Ended up with some reasonable pics. Results here http://1023.co.uk/btccdon12 Plagued by the fences in most of them and finding the 350D troublesome in reviewing the shots I have taken these days. Thoughts and feedback...

I am having some gremlins with the trophy and have had engine management and limp on and off for a while. Shows code 0120 and 0130 as throttle and o2 issues - lamda has been replaces. Now looking at thrttle issue (seems vague lots of posts saying body / pedal) I was checking with electrics on...

Got some half decent pics from Sunday. Tried to follow DunganNicks advice, get focus point, set shutter spped and adjust iso mode so that aperute is ~5.6 but couldnt get the balance right, some pics are ok some not so. http://www.facebook.com/#!/media/set/fbx/?set=a.2041973488252.2122989.1211779600

have spent most of the day trying to lock down internet access in vain. have an sh script which currently works but allows all outwards. I want to lock down port 80 via squid, and only allow a few ports / ips. When i comment out the allow all line the individual rules dont work ! any advice...

Wife saw you near Greenhills Road, Riddings this evening....unfortunately wife was in scabby wanky tank Skoda Fabia hire car....my Trophy is nestled snug in its bed!

It appears the alternator on the Trophy has died and wondering on replacements. Valeo A13VI300 Renault 8200193100 Renault say this is superseded by 7711134267 Being a T it has air con so seems to be a royal PITA to change ! Any suggestions ?

I run a nix box which runs centos 5 as a antispam server mainly (+ a few others) Clamav (and clamd) are installed correctly and currently happily filter out shed loads of incoming virii via postfix / amavisd / clamd. Freshclam runs multiple times daily and keeps the defs upto date, but the main...

Im just playing with an external usb drive and (trying) setting up a dos prompt on it. Grub is installed and works fine, however I want to be able to add an option to boot to different folders in the same drive. ie /folder1/io.sys /folder1/autoexec.bat /folder1/other stuff /folder2/io.sys...

Pics from England being thrashed from Trent Bridge, hopefully some will make it to the bokeh comp :)

I made my usual trip recently to costco for a new pe2 and found that they could no longer get hold of 1 - instead offering me a michelin pilot primacy. Does anyone know if the 195 flavour of the pe2 has been halted as 205's seemed in abundance ! Been really happy with the tyre so really dont...

Was at bedford on fri for the RS trackday and had a quick play on the last corner which is pretty fast. As suggested to me previously by nick, i took some sample pics and aimed for a F value in the 5-9 range. It was a bit dreary so some of the shots are a bit dark but ive played with them a...

Can you provide me pls with some feedback for the pics I took at Oulton on sun. Thread here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=426999 Was my 1st go at motorsport and i think they are quite good. Was using the standard kit lens with the 350d (18-55) and got most of the panning...

Went to Oulton Park yesterday (May 31st) for the BTCC on the spur of the moment as I got drowned a little at Donnington and didnt take the camera there. Needless to say weather was substantially better :) 1st thing I was aware of was how much closer you are at Oulton, however the layout means...

Any of you familiar with the process of having to rechip sigma lenses ? The 70-300 apo i bought in jan has been showing err-99 and sigma cust services tell me its an old lens which strictly isnt compatible with dslr's (only slrs). They can be rechipped but they dont offer this on older lenses :s...

Does anyone know costs involved etc for getting a half suede / leather oem sport seat repaired after the airbag has been deployed ? Obvs needs new airbag + stitching but imagine it cheaper to buy a replacement seat 2nd hand. Also that 'new' replacement from dealer will be silly expensive (~£500?)

Picked up my sigma 70-300 apo from ebay last nite and really impressed. Macro is great, just realised how unsteady my hands are though ! edit - finding loads of subjects with lads toys :D

Went for a wander on sat outdoors on bike with 350d on hope to catch the odd squirrel. Using 18-55 kit lens, i found some of the shots were a bit dark to do bright backgorunds (still working on it). The pick of them were these any thoughts please. Main thing it has made me want is a...

Spied V12 PEP nearing cockpit island from pride park derby earliere tonight ~ 5:45. Gave you the thumbs up as you headed on the ringroad towards radio Derby as I headed towards the a52 but i guess you couldnt see me thru all the dirt on the car :)

My seat stopped reclining today and having looked at it - it seems the bottom of the cable which runs from handle to base is broken (isnt fixed, white plastic bit looks loose as too much play) However, i have removed the cable on the handle but its still attached at the back and I cant see how...

With all the bargains around at present im looking at my 1st zoom lens to compliment the kit lens on the 350d. My thoughts are the sigma 70-300 http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod220.html or the APO version if funds allow. However, I understand the fitment type for Canon is EF / EF-S which...

I shall hopefully be joining the photography section very soon as I managed to stumble upon a ridiculously cheap ex-display Canon 350d + kit lense for 120 GBP !! @ PCWORLD. Is currently reserved for collection later. I have had a quick look thru the guides made sticky which i have found very...

Travelled from Ilkeston today (SAT) into derby and saw a tidy RB 182 + CS sticker parked on the end of a drive. Then at Costco during the footy game I saw a black 172 near the entrance with non standard wheels and a LY R26 + decals (my next car) bless parked next to me :p

... and really pleased with the results (sorry no pics as completely forgot) Completely removed all light scratches and hologram effects on the bonnet with ease. Using the 40 quid silverline orange i bought a few weeks back, 1 4" velcro backing plate + 6" premium componding + polishing heads...
