Love what you’ve done, but that mass of exposed cables needs an enclosure!

I think we all did fine mate, whether you've got 6.3L or 1.6L, 1730kg or 920kg there's plenty of fun driving to be had across north Wales without upsetting the locals, plod or the robots. I don't know where you'd drive that racecar at ten tenths Col, but I hope there's a big run off! Defo need some time over the grip limit in a safe space.

I think this is sold, HJ was in first with a PM and I'll respect the dibs if it drops out.

Free for a noob detailer, my Meguair's DA polisher and starter goodies. Comes with case, assorted backing plates and various pads, enough to do some correction. Also included a wet sanding pad and a glass polishing pad too. All used but in first class order. All you need to do is cover the cost of postage, get some polishing juices and you are away.

You better go at the back of the convoy in case the blu tac fails...

There's always going to be some brand snobbery and reverse snobbery. Hell, even car type snobbery exists (people get upset when hot hatches cross a certain £ threshold), but it seems we're in an age now where loads of new (or not previously considered interesting) brands can chuck out an I-30 N or a Kia Stinger.

Hi Lenny, post up a thread of your own in this section and maybe do a post in introductions too - along!

Roughly where are talking for collection?

I've not done the tips for ages and I detest working away with my fingers when I can get a machine to do things for me, so I gave these a try. There's about a million different ways to buy these cheap things, here's the one I went for - here The yellow one is notably more coarse, the other two there's not much in it. I wasn't expecting much other than to reduce the first stage of cleaning up the worst of the carbon and a little spot of corrosion. Used the cones in conjunction with the metal twins (and my drill), heavy polish on the yellow cone (get the sling off before you go near the car), then a few whirls around the inside and outside, about 5 mins effort including occasional wipe downs and inspections. I was quite please after one pass (I did deal with some heavier soiling with 0000 wire wool briefly). Finished up with the blue (not sure if that or orange is supposed to be polish) with the sealant, followed by a wipe down and the last of some C5 Wheel Armour I had knocking about. As you can see they are not anywhere near a mirror finish, but they are exhaust tips after all and these have seen about 50,000 miles. If you had the car up in the air and wanted to give the back boxes + the resonator a good clean, these little guys would be invaluable. At £12, they're about 24 times what they must cost to make, but still cheap enough. They will be good for another few uses and compared to most detailing costs, I can't fault them. Got shot of that spot of rust too.

This is gorgeous.

I love little touches like this. Nice.

Mark, you've mentioned twice now that you're not happy that you have no right of reply on closed Facebook groups. Much as I personally would love to be the person who decides what is and isn't appropriate for Facebook, the Team here has no say over their P&Ps. From what I can see above, you're not happy with name calling from Torqen and a sponsorship deal. I can understand why you would not be happy about the former and that would not be tolerated on the club forum or social media. The latter is a matter for the car owner and whomever is buying advertising space on the car. None of this appear to be related to the club's Facebook page nor the forum. If I am mistaken, please let us know and we will treat it accordingly. In order to move this forward, I suggest a couple of things which may be of use. Address your concerns with Facebook's private groups and privacy settings with them, and raise a dispute. You have your own Abbey webspace, this may be a more appropriate place to air grievances about social media, without involving a third party. This is not intended to diminish your concerns but it is intended to illustrate that we are here to assist with disputes related to the content and/or trading that goes on here. We've been used as space for long running feuds in the past and we have no desire to go back there, it has no benefit for Members and only creates cliques and ill-feeling, which are of no use to anyone here.

I must admit I thought the same thing, but I bet you can get strong money for those near perfect parts that came out!

along mate, born in Whitehaven but not lived in the Lakes for 20 odd years.

How are you still alive? Very pleased you are though

I get my BRZ touch up from a main stealer, not usually too expensive.

Nice to see a positive post about car insurance!

Ooooh subtle but really effective.
