ordered 2 from RPD, waiting to confirm they actually have it in stock, but if not i'll get one from ebay. i figure i'll change it, it'l blow again, and i'll regret not having another on hand for a tenner.

Not entirely sure i’d ring my 3rs yet, maybe more of a modded gt4 circuit for financial sanity

i'm building a ringtool for 2027, tbc exactly what. right now only donnington booked is 7th + 20th Oct - the latter is the unsilenced porsche day (worth a visit if you like noisy porsche..)

np, you won't hate me if you watch how bad i am at Brands GP. my first laps on that day were literally like i was driving around a small french town trying to work out whether i turn left or right, having never done GP before.

i'll do some multimeter poking in a minute -- any idea where all the various earth points are i'd care about?

after the first corner you run out of brain capacity to think about much beyond the next corner..

this isn't going to garner much in the way of tiny-violin support for my broken clio, but people may find it interesting that i'm also having the windscreen replaced on this. i think i perhaps famously once said the clio is pretty close to a gt3 for a track fun levels, and intended on taking it...

no lights at all. i'll get a screwdriver and prise them out - the big purple (battery protector?) one seems fine? hard to really confirm unless they're on fire/melty.

i should say i'm aware the battery isn't in there :D poor car needs some love. seems every renault (especially clio/track) specialist is booked for weeks/months. refitted the entire battery box/battery and checked all the connections in that area and seems fine. I don't think it's the...

Yea there was some mould in the car, only on doorcards tho. Sorta feels like a connection/fuse issue, given power to some stuff but not others. If i wasnt busy sorting a windscreen replacement on another car and a leaky bathroom id have time to work out how to test fuses lol

It's been sat for some time. It would historically turn over with a tricke charge or jump pack, and run fine, but knowing the battery was on the way out it wont hold a great charge, so i bought a new one. fitted new battery. this was much harder than anticipated due to the difficulty of...

Ok - renewed effort to get it back alive and running. Having had it sat for too long, but with a charge + jump pack being able to get it running again - i thought, optimistically, i'd swap for a fresh battery, get it MOT'd/taxed and service it before snetterton on 13th (where it previously...

Medium vs soft? Not sure how much diff there is in longevity? I have cup2 as a wet/road tyre, should i just go soft for fun?
