We're emigrating and I need to shift the Mrs' car..... we've got it up on autotrader at the moment, but thought I'd see if anyone on here is interested. (LINK) It's been a great little car in the 3 years we've had it and I can tell you confidently that it's a great handling car, I know Clio...

So, we've been trying to cool our brakes by vent air to the inside of the disc, but at Oulton Park (heavy on brakes) we began to overheat the brakes (Brembo HC discs and Ferodo DS3000 pads) and we believe this to be because the venting of the disc is not affective for our type of use. I have...

What is the best brand of cambelt to buy and where is the best place to get it from?? I've found a Contitech one for 30 quid on carpartsforless.co.uk, but not sure if it's the best one to get....

If you've managed to watch the video from the tintops race... you'll see that we had to retire. This is why: We're still not totally sure what the catalyst for the failure was; the symptoms were that we had pretty high coolant temp, but nothing boiled off. We also had good oil pressure and...

Here's the problem (Standard Ph2 172), now and again the throttle wil cut out (no response from the pedal) whilst driving and the engine will continue to run. The problem is nine times out of ten remedied by cycling the ignition on and off. Has anyone else experienced anything similar??

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/one-born-what-happened-next/4od I've just seen the Donington race on the One Born program!! If you got to 35 mins on the main video on that link, you'll see it all. The guy on the program was one of the drivers in the 77 Pug 205. There's even footage of Ryan's...

So, we are disputing colour scheme for the race car. The simple matter comes down to wheel colour choice. We currently have 3 sets of wheels we are going to paint all in one go, the question is whether they will be yellow or white! So, can someone with better computer tekkers than me, take this...

So, we have been investigating the choices with regards to limited slip differentials in the race car. We have been pondering the question of what is better for us when it comes to track use. Will a helical one be better than a multi-plate one?? The two products we're looking at so far are...

Does anyone know of any company that will be able to refurb driveshafts or give you a new one in exchange for a slightly busted one to save a bit of money? I've managed to find a driver's side driveshaft new for 55 quid... but I've now got 2 driver's side ones and 1 passenger side one with split...

Disconnecting the battery clearly doesn't do this. Anyone care to tell me the full procedure for doing a hard reset of the ECU?

L222 ORA was the number plate and it was parked in the Shires retail park near to halfords. Anyone on here?

Can anyone tell me what thickness of camber shim equals what degree of camber shim?? Hoping to get our own laser cut....

So, we are entering TinTops this year and as such, here is the build blog from the beginning. All the background and stuff is in the following posts and in fact, this information will be replicated on our website, which we will be hoping to go live with as soon as possible. Please read on...

So....I have had this Toyota Supra for a bit more than a year now, but it started to burn lots of oil (it is 20 years old) and so, I bought a 2nd car (the Clio of course...) so that I could work on the Supra! This is the Supra, on the way to Le Mans in 2010: The aim of the project is to fully...

I'm attempting to replace a few small bits of interior trim and wanted to know which colour cars have the same interior colour as my monaco blue 172....my interior is the standard dark greyish kinda colour. Any ideas?

Okay... this is a little odd, but i've taken out the standard unit (which was working fine) and connected up my sony head unit and the power seems to come on and off temperamentally. I've tried to see whether there are any dodgy connections, but there aren't. And when I re-connect the standard...

...in time for my yearly jaunt to Le Mans. Any advice for making sure it'll get there and back in an effortless fashion?? (this is my first post on the forum p.s) :approve:
