    Immaculate Clio 182 Trophy (13.5k miles!)

    David87 is entitled to his view! : it sold fast didn't it? Almost certainly to someone who shares his viewpoint ;-) Good sale, and best wishes to the new owner !

    Immaculate Clio 182 Trophy (13.5k miles!)

    Not necessarily, although there are a finite number of the cars in the range the current " best available" today might get a stone chip that is marginally worse than the current number two car's blemish; thus promoting number 2 to the "best available" - until the next event occurs in the range...

    Camber Bolts and Track Rod Ends...

    Be careful they don't try to set the geo as standard, the first place I tried here attempted to tell me the machine had to use factory settings !!! Find someone who knows what they are doing; a good sign will be that they know how to fit camber bolts ;-)

    Your Greatest Mechanical Failures.

    Need to check with the toolbox to see if it's ok with them, then I'll share ;-)

    Your Greatest Mechanical Failures.

    Spanners etc. Not only numbered but signed in and out of the tool chest and polished before putting back in :-) sad but strangely rewarding. Was thinking of giving names to my snap on ones .......

    05 Plate Mini Cooper

    Not a massive expert on the 5 but I think it was a normal one (engine at the front) which had been prep'd for the track. It wasn't racing yesterday (too modern) but was out on the track free session between the races - we were also doing the same in my friends Citroen SM Regembau :-) the 5 was...

    There was a lovely 5GT Turbo at the Pau Historic GP today ( no photos unfortunately) Sorry - off topic :-(

    squeeky top mount

    Correct, tracking normally (always imo) is the thing - unless you have camber bolts in which case that needs resetting too.

    squeeky top mount

    Despite what you think Hoolio is right - if you like, as an experiment, take them apart - put on new tm's then do nowt else; let me know if everything feels 100% after. You can always do a search on " why does my steering feel twitchy and nervous" ( or similar) after :roll:

    The answer to my clonking problem

    Shocks refurbished, new wishbones and balljoints, reset geometry, driving to a trackday and there was a little clonk every now and then over bumps; thinks - STM's??? nope;- Took off wheels and checked the front pads and look what I found!

    WHICH EXHAUST ??

    My Miltek fits great, sounds great, been on over a year and welds are still welded.

    Trackday Tyres

    Yes, a waste of time for the road - better off with the usual suspects.

    Ball Joints or wishbones

    Agree, crashyness (bad word) could be top mounts or arb mounts?? My crashyness went after the shock refurb (I've got STM's and thought they were to blame, but no).

    Ball Joints or wishbones

    I changed the lot recently, only because I got a deal on some wishbones; even then the ball joint end was a moose to remove. On your point re being twitchy- did you have your geo checked after refitting the rebuilt shox? A must do (one of my constant observations) ditto after the ball joint or...

    Trackday Tyres

    In a word, no :-( Every supplier here was out of stock, maybe a sign of how popular they are! Waiting for another set of 888's to arrive today, pricier but at least I know they work well. Next time..........

    Wow - a week on the German Autobahns.

    Cue, a good read, you had a great time clearly:-) I love my T as much as anyone could - but honestly, my 911 is in a different league - especially at big speeds ;-) Great way to spend your time though, well done!

    I'd like to know too! Noticed the kph characters on the display when checking fault codes so it must be possible.
