ta - but that looks like motorbike helmets. I'll give them a ring tomorrow. any other places in the meantime?

Hi, I need a karting/trackday helmet but can't find anywhere nearby Bournemouth, or the South in general for that matter, that sells them. Reluctant to just buy one off the net before I've tried it on for obvious reasons. Anyone know of a place round here that sells them? Cheers

And how could I resist...

just seen this (cheers jamie found it from the alfa forum). I went from a clio 16v to an Alfa 147 GTA... bit of a change I can tell you. I agree with all the comments made, I have the Q2 diff fitted makes a big difference. I find its always CTR drivers who try it on, which the Alfa makes...

Yep was prepared for the power deficit and for it "feeling slow" but that one I tried was way too slow and lumpy. And although the Alfa has the legs above 60, upto 60 there shouldn't be too much in it really although I've never had the pleasure of finding out. Cheers for 172 owners offers but...

Thinking of chopping in the Alfa for a 182/Trophy to start doing track days so took a 182 out which was on 50,000 miles. I used to have a valver before and have a soft spot for clio's, never driven a 182 but this one must have been a real dog - properly lumpy after warming up and what felt...

Yeah that was me mate! Thought it was you coming out of B+Q, then noticed the sticker and you mentioned your exhaust was a bit wonky. I did feel a bit like a stalker must admit... but they've shut that other bit of road well annoying. First ever spot, sure our paths will cross again... The...

love them, only ever seen 2. One was a few years back and the other was last week behind me on a slip road, he wasnt ragging it though

cheers for quick replies! The noise isnt too loud yet and I need other stuff doing to it at the garage or I would just do it myself. I'm only going to do about another 30 miles or so before Wednesday, just drive like a granny till then I guess.

Hi, My wheel bearing is making a sound, and is getting slowly worse. Earliest time I can get it into the garage is next wednesday. I've probably done around 40 miles with it making a noise already, how long can I drive it for like this? If I drive it too long can I cause any serious damage...

yes the difference is the crossovers. I had the standard ones then changed for the deluxe and there's a noticable difference in sound quality

Was parked up on the main road yesterday, dont know what the area is called.

I know how to bypass the imobiliser on a valver. Its a series of button and pedal presses which will disable it until you get a plip key which will enable it again. Had to do it on mine when I lost my plip key. Not sure if i'm allowed to post it though as its pretty invaluable for a car...

I find PES6 a lot better than PES5, and FIFA gets nowhere near to either. The only downside I find with 6 is that if playing with autoselect it switches players at ridiculous moments. But seeing as some pikey broke in and stole my PS2 on Sunday night its no more Pro evo... :(

thought i'd read around the net about this and this is what ive found... DOT 3, 4, and 5.1 are all hydroscopic its the nature of the fluid. 5.1 is no more hydroscopic than the rest. DOT5.1 doesn't need changing any more often, only after track days etc or if it has boiled. (on the bottle it...

yeah tried a search didn't find much, ill have another look. Would it not require changing often only if your doing track days and the like? It's just that I can get it for cheaper than dot 4. From what i understand 5.1 can just withstand a higher temperature, is this right? Just ordered...

Got a whole new set of f+r discs and pads from Halfords for the valver (can't complain for £85!) and got 1L of 5.1 performance brake fluid, only £3.50 on trade. Is 1L going to be enough to bleed the brakes with? What's the deal with 5.1 and is it better than the dot 4 stuff? It was more...

It's renewal time and I don't know what to give as the address of where the car is kept, as I'm at uni and home for almost exactly equal time. I was shocked to find my home in a small village in the countryside is actually in a worse insurance rated area than the s**thole I live in at uni...

getting mine in a few weeks when the price has dropped. whats the camera like could I use it to replace my normal digital cam? I don't need amazing quality just holiday pics and nights out things like that. Hopefully i'll be able to get rid of my mp3 player, PDA sat nav and digi camera when I...

PMSL some people use "ask the seller" to ask the the strangest questions...

Go with Intel. I worked there for 14months and know that all the benchmarking the lads did in the labs against AMD the Intel chip always came out on top. With our older processors we were losing massive market share to AMD but the new dual/quad cores have seen Intel get back in the game again...

Saw you in the layby on the DC down to loughborough, just off the M1 J24 I think it is? Went past in the black valver, 3 bikes on the back just been on an adventure

Tim - Get a set of these rainbow comps for the front:http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/rainbow-slx230-p-3855.html?cadid=001a5ee84f47961c23b29696cd2b3395 Or these rainbow deluxe if you can afford it, I'm running these they are brilliant...

cheers edde reckon i'll just put the stock items on, use my halfords trade card. what brake fluid would you reccomend putting in?

you can get locked up for that

Well as I was passing thought i'd get a cheeky shot or two in :) And Al... how on earth did you get the whole mast in?? Had no chance with my pentax :)

Got MOT done by my mate today and it passed fine but all the discs/pads are a bit of a state and need replacing. I don't do track days or drive it too hard so don't need the best setup ever, just something good, reliable and well priced. Don't want to change calipers as I think its OTT for...

From what I could gather its a fidly job, some people say its easy and some say it's hard. I'm sure it does take you 30mins, but I'm stuck at uni with no tools or axel stands having to work on the road! I'm happy to pay that bit more and get it done properly (well that was the plan!) and get...

Exactly what I think, say my parents or something would have just paid no questions asked. Thats why you need to use somewhere you trust I guess. jprlaw - clutch pedal cost £26 from Renault, £38 to fit at a backstreet garage. Me and cliokiz were gonna give it a bash ourselves but it turned...

right... the story has finally come to an end! Took the car to Eurocar in loughborough (V.good btw!!!), asked them to fit the pedal didnt mention anything bout the clutch "supposedly" being faulty. Few hours later car's ready to go! It was the clutch pedal after all!! Working perfectly now...
