So walked in the garage last month to find the clio had dumped all its gearbox oil over the floor over winter. It was pretty gunked up under there and i couldnt quite source where the leak was from. Iv cleaned it all up and topped the box back up with some fresh random box oil i had just to find...

Brought some renault oz f1's recently and feel they look abit lost in the arches. Im going to space the rears 10 with the PMS stub axle kit. I dont want to go massive on the front as i dont want to mess up the handling as i know going to large can mess up the scrub radius. If i was to go 10 on...

Trying to figure out the best way to have the heater blower wired to a switch so I can do away with the climate control display, I know bridging pin 1 and 5 on the resistor makes the blower turn on full. could I not just bridge pin 1-5 with a switch in the middle? or is that the pikey...

my 182 ff needs a new screen after fitting the cage (DOH!) can I use the non auto wiper screen and just bypass this function or will this "potentially play havoc with the electrics" like iv been told by the guy trying to sell me the more expensive screen. Its a fast road/track car so no doubt...

Hey guys. iv had a problem in the past with the decat/centre section joint having an air leak. a lot of the systems now run sleeved decats that do away with the olive joint/flare design. has anyone tried doing this before? (sorry for bad drawing skills, you get the idea though)

Thought it would be a good idea to have a thread with the different "real world" examples of DB coming from different exhaust setups to give people an idea. obviously there are many variables to what db YOUR car will put out compared to another but just as a bench mark really. Im currently...

Got the idea from Minitorque forum, so stole it- There seem to be quite a few budding photographers on here; some professional, some enjoy it as a hobby. I thought it'd be a good idea to set up a thread purely as a list of some of the best photoshoot locations so that people can find some...

Hey guys, So i ordered a passanger sode driveshaft from ktec last night, just had a phone call and was told that renault make them differently now and the balancer will need cutting off and moving. Has anyone else done/had this? Bit unsure what it is/to do. Being as its called a balancer in...

Been keeping an eye on this series this year, I haven't been to an event in person but they seem to be a nice easy/cheap way to get into something abit more competitive than trackdays. another good point about them is you pay per event not for the full year, so IF something happened and you...
