This thread is awesome. Some serious time and effort has gone into all of that, so thank you for sharing it all with us! Its really good to know some of the actual science behind it. And as much as most of us probably already know most of the stuff we do is actually just for looks and not...

It would be awesome if someone could send a free 3d print file out ;) sod paying 25 quid plus for some. Im just useless on the 3d print editing software ha

Blyton is hard on brakes and tyres been there done that, if you have original brakes possible warping..... as stupid as it sounds checking wheels are done up to correct torque. Iv had wheels come loose before on track. Or it could just be a build up off brake dust causing pads to stick a bit...

Im just going off the sound of the engine after a hard session tbh. Sounds likes theres no oil in it at all and the dephasor if sha**ed.... Not had the oil tested. Im on a high millage engine aswell so anything i can do to avoid a new engine haha.

Hi all, So the 4 pencil coils, (ontop of the plugs for people who wernt sure) does any body know what bolt it is? Thread ect..... Basically i changed my plugs, tightened the coil back down with the dephasor solinoid bit and it went loose again.... its stripped some of the threads from the...

Sorted the seal. Big screwdriver and hammer. :) Yes got it from rpd. But now another issue.... doesnt feal like the car has any vvt anymore... theres no step in revs.. its suposed to be roughly 4, 4.5k isnt it.

The picture below is all i managed to remove.. it was solid... iv found out that the seal has a metal part on it too but nothing like that came off :/ i was so scared of stuff falling into the head

So i have removed the old seal because it was leaking. And it came off in chunks as it had gone brittle. The new seal doesnt seem to fit in the same way i thought it would... see pics. It doesnt push down into the hole at all. Im stuck... Any help would be great. Thank you.

If anyone has been on the Ktec website recently they may have noticed that as well as selling the genuine Spoiler ( http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2415&appid=3 ) for 226quid. They also sell a copy http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=5829&appid=3 which is alot...

I kind have the same issue on my 197. I have uprated disks and pads plus braided lines and hi temp fluid. Had the brakes bled few weeks ago too. how easy is it to replace the seals in the caliper? Im no mechanic but can do most bits. is there a guide? Plus anyone got a link to the kit? Thank you.

I still have the issue. But i have put it down to the fact i have a aftermarket exhaust and i need the car mapping to smooth it out.

Autofinesse have released their own DA polisher if anyone is interested. Its 130 quid retail. They also have their caramics range out too. the new range is seriously good but require the car to be out of the elements for 4+ hours so it can set correctly.

Rentune, Leicestershire. So my experience with these guys. To be completely truthful they are brilliant. Summer time 2018 i took my car to them for Cambelt, Dephasor, Aux Belt, WaterPump ect. The full kit i got from RPD when it was discounted. They were reasonably priced (Cheaper than my...

Hello everyone, So my 197 has done 115 thousand miles.. Its been regularly serviced before i owned it and since i have had it. Normal oil is 5w-40 correct. Last time i changed it with Gulf advanced synthetic stuff. With such high mileage would i be beneficial to put something abit...
