    250 / 265 - what spec?

    Not up on the spec of these but may be changing my R26 for one. What should I be looking for other than the obvious (cup pack, seats)? Are the cup cars poverty spec? Cheers.

    Brakes 'slipping' - any ideas?

    So decided to try to strip and clean front brakes today (my first attempt at this). All went ok, or so I thought. Re- assembled and went for a test drive. On hard breaking the brakes are what I can only describe as slipping. Plenty of bite and then as if the pads lose adhesion, slip a bit...

    R26

    Replaced the diesel bore with an R26 as the daily 3 weeks ago. Still getting used to the car and not had a great deal of time in it. Cold wet greasy roads not the best to acclimatise either. Very different drive to the 200 obviously. Got back in the 200 at the weekend and at the moment it...

    polybushes

    Can't see any polybush kits available for 197 / 200? Thinking rear wishbone bush in particular which seems to wear and needs renewing on mine. I wonder would there be interest in these if I investigated with a company about making some up?

    pulled over

    Enjoying an evening drive out with the other half last night. Always mindful of speed limits nowadays as on 9 points! Might have 'enjoyed' a couple of roundabouts on the way back and then saw a police car in my rear view. Pulled us over and then gave me a right dressing down for speeding! Just...

    Buckets, harnesses, roll cage - what's safest?

    I want to fit some buckets and harnesses for track use but want to make sure I get the safest set up possible. So what's best? Should I have a roll cage with harness bar to mount harnesses? Have read that harnesses fitted to rear seat fixings at a downward angle can actually result in too...

    Speeding - drat

    Well got done for speeding yet again (69 in a 60 on a dual carriageway for christ's sake). Mobile camera. Probably know the answer to this already but I've been offered a speed awareness course having done one already about a year ago. Is the offer just routine for certain speeding offences...
