Welcome back and nice car [emoji1303]. Glad to see you’re looking after it well.

Glad you’re warming to it, love mine. It does get louder over time and once hot it’ll pop and bang a fair bit.

You can bed them on the road, just go out late at night or early morning on a deserted dual carriageway ideally with roundabouts at each end and just go back and forth building the temps up.

CR0N I think.

I would stick to a round hole personally, even if it has to be bigger. Corners make stress risers and can allow cracks to start easier than circles. Mine have been enlarged for a few years now and haven’t needed any strengthening.

Welcome along, there’s a good buyers guide on here to help you. Take your time and find one that’s good - the bad one can be very bad.

As far as I’m aware Rentune don’t do maps anyway. You’ve got RS Tuning, EFI, Engine Dynamics or KTEC if you want it done properly. Just pick your nearest.

I’d possibly look at the stalk for that, sounds like a wire is contacting only when the rear wiper is switched on. Was there not some guide about stripping them down somewhere? I know there’s one for the lights stalk. Would cost nothing to open it up and see.

Welcome along, it’s great to see overseas members. I’ve heard a bit about TUV, is it the case that it’s oem parts or only mods which have a TUV approval that are allowed. No way of getting unapproved things approved?

Welcome along.

No it certainly shouldn’t be crashing and clunking. Something sounds wrong for sure.

Ideally you’d do both sides together, if ones gone the other probably isn’t far away.

As above really. ACF-50 and socks will help but if it’s just a track car you should be fairly ok as I’m guessing there’ll not be many, if any, road miles through winter. My old ones corroded quite badly even when coated in ACF-50 but they never seized.

They’re definitely better than the PS4 for both grip and longevity on track. Problem now though is the new version the AD08RS seems to get pretty poor reviews. I’ve not tried them myself but most people seem to think it’s a much harder compound that’s hard to get heat into. I’m not sure what...

One hell of a thread revival [emoji23]
