    I keep a can of the tyre weld in the space where the jack would be normally, along with the locking wheel nut.

    would you upgrade now?

    I was considering part exing mine when the warrenty ran out in Jan, but couldn't justify the extra cost of what is basically the same car with a couple of bits revised. I think i'd rather wait for the new sport to appear and then change to a 200 maybe. I've also thought waiting for the new...

    Detail the F1 (ly content)

    To be honest the pictues whilst i was cleaning the car were taken using my Iphone4, the pictures out infront of the hotel are from my Canon 1000d dslr with a tripod and ambient lighting. I think it helps having put some depth back into the paint with the polish and wax.

    First go at detailing - My missus' black SportKa

    Looks good, without sounding to :pinky: i've always had a bit of a soft spot for sport KA's and think they could have some potential on track with a few small changes. How long did you soend on it?

    Detail the F1 (ly content)

    My arm's felt like they were still vibrating for most of the night after using it, but it is so much easier and i think you actually get a better finish with a machine. All my friends want theirs doing after seeing how mines come out, I should be an expert in no time.

    Recaro Seat Base Replaced with Different Material

    I had the exact same problem in mine, they replaced the drivers seat with the original fabric and the passenger seat with the new fabric. I ended up speaking to RUK and got the drivers 1 replaced to match. My warrenty runs out in January so i'm kinda hoping i'll need the seat backs replacing by...

    Help: Why is the 197 so twitchy under braking?

    I carried out some braking tests last night and also tested the traction control theory about pressing the button until the light goes off. I couldn't get the back end to become twitchy at all, i have a r27 lowered on H&R springs, it just stayed straight and as usual stops from high speeds...
