    2010 Clio 200RS fast road

    And if I was given the choice, the ring would be top of the list compared to any trackday :) I have no plans of going to Braga soon, but would like to give it a go at Portimão, which I haven't tried with the Clio and to Monteblanco (Sevilla) which I have only watched. They're all too far for you...

    06 nimbus 197 daily track toy

    420 Amps of cranking current isn't that much, compared to the other options... but the wieght difference is massive https://www.odysseybattery.com/Specs/ExtremeSeries

    06 nimbus 197 daily track toy

    Can you clear one doubt for me? The battery label states 48Wh, which for a 12V battery means it's a 4Ah battery. Will it have enought cranking currant to start the car? And how fast will it discharge if you're not running the engine? In mine I have a generic gel one with 16Ah and it's not hard...

    If Porsche made a hot hatch

    Keep in mind that changing pads, even if both sets were bed in the same discs, will require some re-bedding time. Not to mention that pedal feel will also change. The usual wear of the pads and discs makes the surfaces change over time and no 2 sets will have perfect contact right away after...

    LY200 - too loud or blow up again, taking bets!

    By not having a drain on the OEM cap doesn't mean it's sealed. Else, something that would cause a pressure increase (i.e. bad head gasket) would mean blown pipes, in the best case. How high and big is your tank at the moment? It might just want to sit with that level. Leave it be and just check...

    Heel&toe/rev-match on downshifts would't help a bit with braking later?

    are the shocks bottoming out on the top mount when you hit the potholes? do you run bump stops on the shock?

    My first Mk3 Ultra Red R27

    Their longer because they're progressive. The hint is that the spacing between each loop is smaller (soft part) in the bottom and bigger in the top (harder). So, despite being longer the softer part will compress more with the car weight alone

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    I had the same temp gauge behavior even in warm weather. Replaced the original thermostat by a new OEM one. Now, after warming up, the needle just stands to the left of the middle bar

    Mark's Nimbus 197 T Cup

    If it's on the feed lines for the lifters is guaranteed that the bottom end also got some. It all comes from the same supply, the oil pump.

    Oil pump, talk to me

    That and going over the cam covers when they start leaking. Doing that releases so much crap that after a couple of miles it's worth pulling the sump to clean all the crap and the oil pickup itself. In the process I would also open the pickup window a bit. The mesh itsefl is not that small but...
