    Glacier White 200 Cup

    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...

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

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    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:

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    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...

    Clio 197 Cup - Time Attack Build Progress

    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...

    Clio 197 Cup - Time Attack Build Progress

    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.

    Mike's racing blue 197

    @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!

    Pad Life on Track Days

    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...

    Clio 197 Cup - Time Attack Build Progress

    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.

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    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:

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    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.

    I can get behind that. Get yours ready for March and come do this event with me.

    Another French shed! Peugeot 306 XSi Targa rally car!

    I originally wasn't going to post anything about this car until I'd been through it and tidied it up, but it needs a lot more work than expected. 1998 Peugeot 306 XSI, 135bhp, just over 1000kg and set up for Targa rally, nav rally etc... Story behind this one is that I owned this actual car...
