    New van time, yes van!

    My trusty Nissan van turned 4 and 92k miles so had an itch to change it. I originally wanted a Caddy maxi, had a drive and for the price wasn't impressed. Passed a Ford garage on the way home and had a go in a Transit Connect, loved it and ordered a Lwb Trend :smile: I love it, whisper quiet and...

    My new dancing shoe

    I know most people hate them but I love having a Smart, just chopped my 09 silver passion in for this '14 Grandstyle edition turbo cab, sat nav, leather, colour scheme is odd but Emma loves it to bits, hopefully pick it up on Saturday :)

    Track brakes problem

    Ok, so a bit of background. I did a full year of track days last year on one set of discs and two sets of pads. I fitted a brand new set of Brembo HC discs which I had from last year and DS1.11 pads from George last week, my second set of those. I bedded them in the usual way, 8-10 high speed to...

    Evo in the cold, Clio in the garage!

    Running my X over winter for a change, Clio is taking up garage space so I may as well slip and slide in the Evo :) I'd forgotten how shiney it was under the crap, Blackfire seems to be protecting it well, it's not been washed since October!!! :flushed:Washing cars is one of the most horrible...

    Oil cooler repair?

    I bought my Mocal used, since I fitted it there's always been a slight weep, tightened it before but made no difference. I removed the lines to ptfe the joint that was oily, refitted, it was now dripping, D'oh! Removed the cooler and there's a crack where the fitting meets the core, can this be...

    X marks the spot

    Had my Ten out for a blast yesterday, ran a tank of fuel through it and had some fun :tonguewink: Just some phone pics, light was fading so not as clear as I'd like, but driving is more fun than snapping :smilingimp:

    Interior strip out, footwell ideas?

    Now I have my cage I've decided to go a bit more hardcore with the interior, ditch the carpets and any other bits I can live without and paint the bare interior. I'd like to see what you've done with your footwells, sitting in the car the strengthening rib that runs towards the brake pedal feels...

    Live data....again. Please help with my hesitation!

    Last month I had a misfire, live data and code thrown seemed to support the front o2 sensor at fault. That was changed for a new Bosch item, plugs look good, but cleaned and gapped anyway, new leads, new coil pack, injectors all read just over 14 Ohms. It's still there, stray over 6k rpm and...

    Still have a miss fire :(

    Last month I had a misfire on track under load. I read a code for the front O2 sensor, so it was changed as well as a new coil pack at the time. Yesterday I went to another track day and did one lap.......huge miss fire over 6k rpm and now occasionally won't start, not even a kick.....then...

    Track pads

    My DS2500 front pads are starting to crumble after 4 track days so time for new pads. They're decent pads but don't give me the bite I really want. I'm tempted by CL RC6 but have read stories about them eating paintwork/wheels.....I know it's a track car but I do try to keep it nice, so what's...

    02 sensor live data......just change it?!

    I had yesterday's track day cut short due to a wot hesitation:worried: I checked the usual, leads, plugs, tdc sensor, nothing obvious. Plugged in the RS tuner box and there was a front 02 sensor in the Orange memory, deleted and it's gone. Would this cause my hesitation? I know the voltage...

    Track oil temps

    I have an oil temp guage, albeit a quite cheap Spitfire analogue one, into a sandwich plate at the oil filter. I did a track day on Sunday and was getting temps ~120'C+, which surprised me, but I really don't know if that's normal or dangerous? What temps do you see?

    Smoke filled Cup!

    I've not been near the clio for a few weeks, sitting in the drive on a Solar trickle charger. About 1/2hr ago the alarm went off, Emma went out to have a look and saw nothing but said there was a funny smell. Went out and could smell an electrical burning smell, opened the bonnet, all seems...

    Gearbox cradle help please!

    Hi, I've just stripped down the upper gearbox to change the dodgy bush and found the cradle crudely bolted to the chassis leg/strut tower and it obviously has been rubbing. Does this mount bolt straight to the car or am I missing some mounting bushes? If so, any pics? thanks :)

    172 Cup track toy build

    Hi, thought I'd start a thread to track what will be pretty slow progress (sorry) on my new toy! My Mrs and I are into Evos, she has a 5 and I have a 500hp ten. I've put so much into mine it's got to the stage where I'm desperate to track it, but can't bring myself to do it, evos are constant...

    Hello

    Hi, Just bought myself a 172 cup to transform into a track/hill climb car. I've learnt a hell of a lot in a short space of time trawling this forum, so thanks! :)
