    Brembo pins stuck!!!

    Found out recently that I needed new front discs and pads so went to change them myself. Bought some new pins as I know they seize and would more than likely need cutting out. Tried knocking them out first but I knew it was a long shot and it didn't work so out come the grinder. Cut them both on...

    Exhaust keeps blowing

    So I've noticed my exhaust keeps blowing from the same spot. It seems to be coming from the join between the first and second catalytic converters. I recently fitted a Scorpion cat back system and definitely made sure it wasn't blowing before I finished. I don't know if I'm missing a hanger...

    200 Scorpion Exhaust on a 197

    Just wondering if a 200 Scorpion non-res cat back exhaust would fit on a 197? Would I just need to buy some tailpipes?

    Clio R3 Rally

    Been having a look at the Clio R3 rally cars. They sound insane! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka2WOlclFhc Might be a long shot but any way to get a 197 to sound like this? Or as close as possible? Can't stop watching the video :w00t: makes me cream every time :001_tt1:

    Stud and Nut Conversion Length

    I'm running some K-Tec 20mm spacers (everything else standard) with extended bolts but want to change to a stud and nut set up so as not to snap the bolts. Just wondering what length stud to get. Oh I'm looking at the Grayston ones on Demon Tweeks if that helps.

    Nanakang NS2-R Tyre Pressures

    Just fitted a set of these and wondered if people had any preferences of how much air to put in. Wanted to know if it makes any difference to noise, fuel consumption, ride, etc...

    Play in suspension arm pin/bearing

    So I went in for my mot the other day and it failed on this: "Offside front lower (swivel joint) suspension arm has excessive play in pin/bearing" Went to get it sorted at local garage and they said they couldn't do it.

    Silencer removed but still quiet

    So I've just had my center silencer replaced with a piece of straight pipe and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed :/ I know someone that's had it done and there's crackles and pops with almost every gear change/downshifting and letting off the throttle at high revs. Mine does not do this and I...

    Center Section Decision...

    I'm thinking of getting the center silencer replaced with a stainless pipe but worried if I don't like it will I be able to get it re-fitted? Also would I benefit from a re-map after removal? If so could anyone give a rough price?

    Boot unlocks itself!!!

    I don't know if I'm just being paranoid but was out shopping the other day and when me and the mrs got back to the car it wouldn't start because the boot was open even though we hadn't touched it... A few days later I was in the car at home taking the dash apart when all of a sudden the boot...

    Coloured Seat Belts

    Hi guys, I'm wanting to change the look of my interior and continue the yellow and blue theme I have going on with my 197. Was wondering if anyone knows where I can get replacement yellow seat belts or get my standard silver ones dyed? I don't have the Recaro seats so harnesses aren't an option...
