My electric windows make a worrying noise, as they reach the top of their travel. It sounds like the glass hitting the door, maybe they are out of alignment and are being pushed too far. Sometimes when I go over a bump I can here the noise again. It sounds like the window's about to break. Any...

Ok, I think this is a different one. Mine sounds fine until you go over the magic 3K rpm mark. Then as the engine revs go down towards 3k (decelerate) the exhausts rattles and moans alot. It stops at the 3K point on the way down too. The extra vibrations from this can be felt though the gear...

He used to race williams and clios back in the day, he is a full engineer and can do anything to a race car you can think of. He resides in Harlow, essex. He has done my servicing, brakes, geo. He does custom valved adjustable rear koni dampers, to replace the shit rear ones. He does solid...

I'm also interested. The Renaultsport ones at £1000 + fitting seem a bit high in price. The K-tek ones are much cheeper, so will like to see how they hold up. I would also like to see what mark fish ones are like.

Not necessarily high, but it depends what you are used too. The dampers dont have much droop and the springs are soft.

what spring rates does he run?

Mark Fish does the standard Konis, but also some re-valved ones that are 25% stiffer damping. I'm going to do them to mine sometime, along with the springs, exhaust, stereo, 36K service... lol :cry:

I asked Mark Fish about this once, just out of curiosity. He laughed and said no, they are only really needed on shit old cars basically. Solid Top Mounts and Rose Joints, however, will make a world of difference :mrgreen:

Bulbs done. Dad used a screwdriver. Its easier second time round lol. =D> :mrgreen:

how do you get those buggers out lol? :lol:

Ok. I am currently running Brembo Maxcarb discs, braided hoses, DOT 5.1 fluid and Pagid RS 4-2s. I do intend to track the car at some point in the future, but i want to get it perfect first (long story inolving lotus's). So my car is road only at the moment. However, My mileage is low and I want...

ok thanks for all your help. I will tell him all of this advice when we do it. I wont even take any credit for it lol.

Ok ta. My dad and I are going to look at it at the weekend, by which time, hopefully my hand will have cleared up hahaha =D>

You'd think so wouldn't you lmao! :mrgreen: #-o

i did H1 Main beam. This has the one spade on the end. I have done the indicator bulbs, they are easy. The main beam and side lights are best done together as they are both in the same part of the headlight. the dipped has two spade connectors. It has a metal cage thing underneath, then the...

I have followed the manual and have removed the bulb and connector from the car, but how do i get the bulb off the connector? Help needed now! :cry:

Thats just it, I think about the weight of an s1 (720kg) compared to the T (1100kg). To get an equivalent, im going to need quite high spring rates. Oh it is. esp on 48s

Oh as an extra, prob another thread really, but related to chris randall. He uses Chris Tillett for exhausts, as used in f1 I believe. I'd love to get him to do one for my T. Workmanship second to none. Would certainly be interesting. :mrgreen:

Ok. My brother has an S1 elise, standard engine tune, but done brakes, exhausts etc. He has 325lb springs front, 400lb rear. He is setting his dampers on 10 clicks front, 12 rear. I believe that is roughly halfway. He does lots of trackdays. He has been contemplating a Honda Vtec engine...

I recently saw a few people on here saying that, now the weather is warmer, they have adjusted their dampers to a stiffer setting. I was puzzled by this. Well, maybe sceptical is the word. I could see that it would improve the T's handling, but I thought that it would feel harsh and be a...

Oh I had an Idea. If Mark Fish knocks up his own strut top mounts, He must be able to do all the other engine mounts too. Anyone know? Then it might be cheaper or could be bought piece meal if poss.

I really do want to. I better get my convincing hat on lol. :mrgreen:

Or stay with standard and replace every say 20K no matter what, like a consumable.

the alternative would be to do the group N ones peace meal?

Ok, so the standard ones have made a noise twice and I'm only on 25K. I would get Mark to sort it, but even with standard, I'm probably looking at £200-£300 including labour each time i have this done. I have owned the car since 4K miles so all of the abuse is me. The previous owner was in his...

Insurance does go down with age, but on cars like these it's not really until aged 25. But the premiums are worth it!

They are loose again, but worse than the last time. Tightend only a year ago. I'm getting mark fish to look at them in about a month plus geo. Could they be worn out after 25K? Are there any motorsport ones i can upgrade to? :mrgreen: Does anyone know for and against of this, plus other...

Not a horror story this time. Now that I'm 29 I don't have to worry about the cost of insurance anymore. But my renewal has just came up. I have five years no claims bonus, living in hemel hempstead, 8000 miles per year. I'm currently with Privilege. Their renewal was £523 protected. But I...

How about turning a trophy into a rally car for the roads? Probably wouldnt need much mods. What would be required?

I'd love to run a full group N rallye on the roads. Possible? dont seem to cost too much
