Good shout. It happened to me at Cadwell once and halfway round the stomach cramps kicked in. Set the fastest lap that day I can tell you.

Exactly like mine were. You can still a bit in the image I posted. I just gave them another coat and it all went.

I bought these off a chap and they were in good condition but had some proper crusty dust which wouldn’t come off with a general purpose wheel cleaner. Used some Bilt Hamber Korrosol and it literally dissolved it. I’m running CL6 pads which are good for destroying wheel paint if you don’t...

I suspected it would be close. It’s why I never went for one after my i30N. Clio is the better all round car imo. Wish I was back over there. Maybe next year. Ps. There’s a PMS 240 engine for sale on faceache 😉

Cracking shot. Is it behaving itself?

Looks all good to me. Obviously, I can't see all of it, but I assume this is how it's assembled.

A short break in the weather so took Muttley down to Saltburn for a quick run on the beach - me in the distance. I’d only been down there a few minutes and got a ping on my phone - “Is that you mate?” Haha I’m looking all over the place expecting to be shot by a sniper before realising it’s...

If you need any questions answering just ask. Or lob a price at me. I’m very impulsive 😂 I’d love to get back the £13,567.63p I’ve put into it 🤯 Joking aside, I’m a realist.

I've been so preoccupied with my Track car, I completely forgot the MOT was due on the RB. Picked her up from storage last night and gave her the first proper exterior wash using some BH products. Dropped her off at the garage this morning filthy thanks to the rain, then got a call a few...

Took a Mazda 323 4X4 in against an RS Escort Turbo and smoked that for 6 months. It was a bit different and a rare beast. Similar situation with the Charade but ended up owning one for a year before trading it in for a 205 GTi. These were very quick little cars. Again rare as hen's teeth now...

I’m not sure I’d fit one on a road car, well I know I wouldn’t, but for circuit use it’s one of the best bits of kits you can fit. Even better when used in conjunction with an LSD/Gripper.

Maybe now you've mentioned it, they might update their website. I recently bought a custom radiator that was supposed to fit a Mk2, though the instructions were for a Mk1. I had trouble fitting it in my 182 due to the alternator and had to modify the radiator supports. Despite the challenges, I...

I know of one example involving a particularly rusty Clio. The hubs on this car were in such poor condition that they seemed barely capable of handling a standard ball joint, let alone a roll centre correction kit. Shortly after that, Pro-am updated their roll centre pins and sent me a new set...

Should have got a Bridgecraft kit

Yeah. The top part is effectively a large spacer, so your brace will do the same job. I think that's the only way you can fit it. I don't know what's happened to that company, but it's properly gone down hill over the last few years. Maybe lost some good staff during covid. They have some...

It looks to me like you'd remove to top portion of the top mount. The pictures on their website show the brace sitting flat on the strut tops. Lots of their instructions are poorly written and short on detail.

Rings Andy at Engine Dynamics shortly after returning from the ring…

There’s one in our car park which belongs to an apprentice. He bought it and is struggling to get insurance. It’s immaculate inside and like this car, some of the parts are near perfect. I’ve been pestering him for nearly a year to sell me it but he can’t make his mind up. I see Gold, everybody...

Yeah, imagine the headlines - Teesside muscleman crashes on circuit after coming under pressure from fat squidgy old geezer. 😂

No OEM springs sadly, but as you’ve sad; Eibach Pro_kit are the way to go. OSF Wishbones no longer available but you can still get NSF. I’d do that and refurb the OSF and replace the bushes. I have a list of 182 parts which many will fit yours, but it also lists OEM alternatives which might...

Pictures please

The problem with these old cars is that it's hard to know if the parts are authentic. You can either trust the seller or refurbish your own, assuming those parts are genuine too. It's a gamble.

At least you can see how clean it is under there. Looks a minter 😍

I thought it was a fiesta. Just past Sunny out? I saw two lads in a blue fiesta arguing with each other on the grass verge 😂

Not sure fella. You’ve got the side skirt off?

Only footage of a drive by. I had to back off due to a red flag. I’d usually be fighting with that Mini down the straight. This was the whole point of going for more power. No more having to sit behind slower FWD cars when they won’t do the decent thing and pull over. Amazing engine!

That’s how it was described to me. The rear axle isn't perpendicular to the ground. Any adjust to the camber, tilts the wheels and affects their alignment with the centerline of the vehicle, which includes the toe angle. Different suspension and wear and tear can affect it as well.

My 2 pictures from Croft lol These must have been late morning as I still had the plates on. I'm surprised they were any as I didn't go out properly until after lunch and he'd buggered off by then. The design is certainly showing its age, but it's still a decent track weapon!
