So I own the BG Trophy that's been well documented on here. And whilst it's a beatiful car that's been lavished with money the creaking from the front suspension is driving me insane! I've had the driveshaft replaced - it wasn't that. New arms fitted with standard rubber bushes (bar the d...

Hey, I bought some new rainsports a couple of weeks back because the tracking was out and my old tyres had gone bald on the inside of them. The problem I'm having now is that when I've got full lock on (to the left) the outside of the f/right catches on the inside of the arch. When the lock is...

Just had some rainsports fitted. Still wearing them in obviously so can't really rate them yet. Just wondering what sort of pressures you think they should be at. Have heard a couple of people saying 34/31. There at 28 now so they need some air, just not sure how much. Cheers

Above, when I start the car on a morning you can smell petrol. For the first minute or 2 oid driving I get 'pops and bangs' even though I'm obviously driving slowly since the engine is cold. After the engine is warm the smell goes away as do the bangs. Its been like this for past couple of days...

and hello eibach pro's!! What a transformation they are. They've been on the car for 3 days and I havent stopped smiling. No more swerving round the smallest glitch in the road and no-more creeping/scraping over speed bumps. Granted it looks a bit like a 4x4 in comparison to how it used to but...

The car I bought came on the dreaded apex springs. After 2 months of its terrible ride and questionable handling 'improvements' i can now take no more!! The question is do i get oe springs or some eibachs? Im not bothered about the looks i just want to be able to drive the car without grimacing...

Anybody going to the Olivers Mount **** O The North next month? ?

Well after having my 182 for about a month I noticed a tiny dripping of gearbox oil coming through. I took it to a local garage who said that 'the gasket in the bell housing is broken' and the only fix is to take the box apart to replace the gasket which is going to cost £285 for them to send it...
