Email from Kam Racings this morning saying what @LiamP mentioned. RPX on backorder for the past 4 months! Swapped the order out for a set of Mintex F2R as @RSRowe has always spoken highly of them. Extra £16 but that's nothing. They better be good, Nathe!

Kam racing in the end. Still the cheapest that I could find and Kev is normally pretty quick to let you know if the stuff you've ordered is out of stock.

It's been a bit slack for updates lately but there's not been much to report. Car was having issues after the mega wet day at Blyton last year, dephaser problems, sensor issues, fuelling issues and a heap of other shit. I ended up loading the parts cannon and lighting the fuse. Cadwell was a...

Yeah have done before. Think I've had ignition coils and lambda sensors off them before, main thing is to make sure part numbers are correct against other websites.

It's a brave plan. I'd be changing those discs, a set of Brembo HC will be cheap enough to replace especially if you're not in a hurry. Order from Autodoc on a Monday and you should get a healthy discount if you have an account. https://www.autodoc.co.uk/brembo/8713611 for standard HC discs...

Better than mine too... This was the braking zone for Bunga Bunga :tearsofjoy:

I've been there and it was purely out of experience :tearsofjoy: Mega jealous of that garage though!

Clear. Concise. To the point. 10/10 would read again.

I said this but Gav has other ideas! He wants to stick with the 200 front end. Personally think the 197 is a better looking car but what do I know? :wink:

Such a shame the day ended like it did for you but you both walked away from it, which is ultimately the main thing! The impact doesn't look as bad as I was expecting, I think you've been really lucky with the damage after a quick look over while I had the front end in the air on my trailer...

Might be worth getting yourself an M14x1.5 tap to clean the threads out fully, I did mine with multiple passes of brake cleaner and working a tap in and out to fully clean the threads, then a final bit of brake cleaner, dry with an airline if you can and then Loctite the studs in. I left mine...

No that is correct. I did mine to 25Nm with some Loctite 270 (I think that's the right Loctite anyway) and they've been fine. I just take them out every year and reapply the Loctite.

@Steve.humberstone The short version is that the AR1 is a quicker tyre once it's in the perfect operating window, but you'll only have a couple laps of that then it'll drop off. The MRF is slightly slower BUT more consistent, I found that on a clear track my times with the MRF (hard compound -...

4-5 hard laps of Snetterton is more than enough at times!

PBS ProRace I would get 4-5 on average, so far my EBC RPX have done 5 I think and probably have another couple in them. But you're right, it'll vary hugely across different users, tracks etc...

I'd suggest changing the handbrake cables while you're refreshing the rear brakes. Mine was a combination of the calipers being knackered and the cables being partially seized up.

Oh yeah. Those. :sweatsmile:

First pic are Autec Wizards, second pic are Sparco Assetto Corsa

Yeah just punted a couple more holes in the floor. I can't remember if I did both sides or just the drivers side, can't say I'm too concerned about the passenger though :tearsofjoy:

I have TRS Magnums in mine and were originally 4 point. The buckle has the hole to add the extra strap so you can crush your nads in style, mine are now a 6 point with the addition of the £30 strap or whatever it cost me.
