Went down to Prescott Hill Climb to watch John and Chris take part in the National B Licence Handicap challenge. Mixed weather made for a difficult debut with wet and dry practice followed by moist and wet final runs. A successful day and progressively quicker times despite the weather. Some...

I thought I would post this as I thought that these wheels were only available from ATS Germany in multiples of 8 with a long delivery and big price tag. I have been a fan of DTC’s for ages since seeing them on Westfields and Fiesta ST Cup race cars and have been looking for a set of 15”’...

Just a few pics from last night Ace Cafe night. Great turnout and it was nice to talk to so many enthusiastic people.

​Some photos from La Vie En Bleu yesterday. A great day out and I would recommend it if you have never been before.

I was asked by a friend to see if I could improve the paintwork on a Lotus Carlton. This particular example was not a perfect show car, nor does the owner want it to be one. Instead, an improvement in the gloss and the removal of the odd deeper scratch was asked for. Paint levels were an...

I'm sure this will baffle most people, but I was never that happy with the clean up of the suspension parts under the arches that I did last year (you might have seen it at CSS). Everything survived the winter apart from the nuts and bolts which started to rust. Rather then buy new nuts and...

I'm looking for some clear instructions on the removal of the front subframe and I'm hoping that the CS Gurus can help (you know who you are!). I've done searches which have helped, but I could do with some more info. The reason for removal is to blast and powder coat the frame, anti roll bar...

Edge Automotive have been building up quite a reputation for high quality car re-trimming (you might have seen some of the complete 197 re-trims they have done) so I asked Steve to re-trim my melting 172 wheel - his first, probably not last! I opted for BMW Napa leather which is a sort of...

BTB have given me some nice new stickers for my car. These are destined for promo work but I've persuaded Joe to make a few more than he initially planned - so if you fancy some (free), get on the blower before they run out. Also, for identification purposes, all systems from now on...

I was invited to Stoneleigh to the Race Retro show by BTB Exhausts today. Great collection of historic and post historic cars, motorbikes and a live Group B rally show outside. Some pics... Those laser cut tags will be on all Clio exhausts from now on - but in...

Don't normally have anytime to machine polish my own car, but I spent 16 hours on it a couple of weeks ago. Not perfect, but the car has done 80k. Had some sun today so I thought I would capture the finish before the winter sets in. Hope the shots are of some interest. Shot...

After having the BTB stealth system fitted last year, I wanted to fit a sports cat to make the exhaust as free-flowing as possible. A aftermarket sports cat was an option, but I've read plenty on this forum about problems with emissions and MOTs and didn't want to take the risk. BTB said that...

Spotted today at the club office for the Bloodhound Richard Noble presentation. Looked very clean - unlike mine!

As part of my on going project to keep the car going for as long as possible (a bit like triggers broom!) I've had the front calipers refurbed by Biggred. I've had a few caliper issues with pistons and sliders so enough was enough. I bought a set from a breaker so my car didn't have to come...

Quick teaser pic for you, I'll upload the rest later along with details.

Hope some of you can help.... A have a 172 53 plate with 67k. I have had a wobble/pulse through the brake pedal for a couple of months. This feeling does NOT come through the steering wheel. Last week I had new rear discs and pads fitted and a new nearside balljoint. This transformed the...

Quick question for you... Does the centre cap on a Turini have a metal circlip with it, or does it just push in? I didn't want to just push it in and risk loosing it if it needed a clip as well! Thanks for reading.
