    Going rate for a Recaro swap?

    Say I traded my Recaros for some standard 200 seats, what's the going rate for £+seats my way?? Not looking to shaft anyone with eBay prices, just a favour to save them being traded in with the car when someone on here could benefit instead.

    GoPro HD foglight cam - Oulton footage

    The car wasn't going too bad around there on Friday, strange grip even though it was dry, anything offline was like it was wet - highly enjoyable though. The passenger ballast stunts the power somewhat - but she had some decent scalps! More to come... YouTube link

    Anyone done a stud conversion?

    I'm toying with the idea, makes swapping wheels a whole lot easier. Anyone done it, where'd you get the bits, what spec, pics, etc etc???

    AST Topmounts

    Anyone got these? I'm interested to see they fit the OE kit, which is perfect as I don't want to change the suspension, but the car does need a touch more camber for the track. Linky

    Anyone in the NW bored and fancy a random afternoon?

    Just heading to Oulton, sun is shining, the track is open and I'm gonna get some laps in. Circuitdays are running the event, rock up for around 12:30 for briefing and you're on for the afternoon. Don't bother messing about with the car, just check the oil & tyres and come have some fun...

    Osram Nightbreaker or Philips X-Treme

    **IGNORE** ECP are calling them a "set" when it only means one bulb. Cheeky monkeys. Euro Car Parts has Osram Nightbreakers on offer for £12.98 EACH with free delivery. Can someone confirm what type is required for each bulb?

    Quick chase lap of Oulton

    My friend Nige following me for one in a well sorted MKII Golf - I didn't realise he was filming and trying to follow me, hence the willingness to move over! I'll find more. YouTube

    Off to Oulton tomorrow..

    Car's on its track wheels, all packed up and I even treated it to a wash so it looks pretty for the photographers. What does it do? Go and chuffin' rain on it!! Friend of mine has loaned me a Racelogic P-Box and camera, so I'll take some footage and hopefully if I've got it right, it'll...

    Mike's modified airbox experiment - cold airtastic!

    With many thanks to Karl, Twingeekeo, I've got my mitts on a spare airbox to try a little experiment with. PLAN To increase cold airflow into the OEM airbox WHY? Because it heatsoaks badly, starving the engine of cold, dense air - which the ECU detects and retards the ignition...

    Quick airbox question

    Which is which? Having a quick lunch hour nose about, I think red is the vac controlled cold start feed and the blue is the normal cold air from the grille. Am I right?

    Hey ho, it's off to Snetterton we go - review added 11/10

    Well, first track day in the 200 with less than 400 miles under its belt!.. Be good fun to see how it goes, after having a brake crisis earlier this week I've fixed that weak link and I'm now 100% happy as I can be. Basically I gave them a testing, realised the Brembo pads are garbage...

    Trolley jacks - talk to me....

    So, will I get a normal 2-tonne one under it or do I need one of those low slung things? I haven't got one to try, so it'll save me buying the wrong one! Also, using the front point, am I likely to lift both wheels because the car is so stiff? It does on the Golf.

    I was walking past the dealers and found this....

    Pick it up on Monday - Yay! Already bagged some alloys with A048s and a half cage from Oulton's ex-fleet, along with some tasty pads and decent fluid it should do the trick!

    Got the track wheels built up today

    9kg 200 Cup wheels with 1 TD old Yoko A048 track tyres. Bit of shopping around and they've come in at a fraction under £550 all in. Ace.. it's all coming together!

    Wheel weights

    Does anyone know the weights for the various 197/200 wheels? Depending on weight, I may as well get some scruffy OEM ones for track duty, as they'll be cheaper than PR1.2s/Turinis/Leggaras. Cheers.

    Harnesses and Recaros

    Having not had a good look at the Renault version of the CS, can someone tell me if the release mech is in the harness slot? We had a look into a problem in the VAG versions on 3-door cars after finding this sticker below. Seemingly the 3-door seat isn't harness approved due to the possibility...

    That Top Gear Stig lap in the 200 Cup...

    I make it 1:28ish, but surely not, as that puts it in some seriously hot company?? Someone want to check I'm not going mad? Video link This is everything a second either side of my lap time estimate, not mention of wet/dry though: Aston Martin Vanquish S 1.27.1 Aston Martin DB9 1.27.1...
