Hi,

Because I use the car for track days the exhaust gets very hot and is under a...
Selling my almost new rear strut brace for the winter as I am no longer using it for any trackdays.

'twas the bearing. Sorted =)
Cant believe it though. only got 3.5 track days out of a rear bearing ! - teaches my right to buy cheapo ebay stuff. Got genuine Renault on now =)
Hi, just wrecked(not worn) my rear bearing at Bylton Park Track day yesterday. Still did the second half of the day on it and then drove 125 miles home.
Should be ok, but get it sorted asap.
should add a little more detail. Constant drone humming which gets significantly louder and deeper when I turn left (the track at blyton is anti clockwise) The bearing have just been done all round and done 3 track days with them....
Having too much fun today at Blyton that I was a noob and warped at least one of my Brembo HC discs.
That's confirmed by shuddering under braking.

Is this just a...

hmm..crap... well... I've only had the car since march. always did have a feeling that the amount of heat coming up from behind the engine seemed a fair bit.. not sure about being 'blowy'. There are certainly no 'startling' sounds.
here is a side picture?
so what's odd with it then?
Hi everyone,
Just getting my car ready for the track on the weekend and just noticed my finger disappeared into a hole behind the right hand side of the engine, into the manifold.
The picture below shows what I mean - is this normal or am I missing something here??
Thanks
Depends how much ££ and time you want to spend really...
Assign an afternoon and properly clay your car. It will take some time to do it properly if you've never done it before.
Tape over the plastic trims and gaps of your car and get ready for a good workout....
Ideally get a buffer, some...
