I wouldn't bother upgrading my brakes just for 15mins at Japfest Better off investing in new mirrors, keep an eye out for all the numpties that will be on track with you!

 

I've tracked on stock brakes, they're fine. If the pedal starts to go long, just back off your braking a tad.

 

 

It's OK he will here me coming so won't need to get better mirrors

 

@OP Don't worry for just Japfest I was out last time with standard brakes and pads that needed changing before the session - no problems in the short time we were out.

 

Think Buster managed to get a set hot at Japfest but you know Buster he was ........ Granny shifting, not double-clutching like you should

The buster's a gearhead....

Jesus, wouldn't like to be this guy: "a worker allegedly forgot to turn on the switch for a system weeding out defective products and parts were improperly stored, which exposed them to humidity."

I think you'd probably need one of those machines which measure insane amounts of torque! Although that would probably just twist the shafts!

My switch wouldn't either. No idea why it works!

Theres a reset procedure, Mine did the same a while ago and hasn't been an issue since I did the reset. Have a search, I can't atm as I'm at work.

 

Haha, maybe!

 

The stuff I got looks quite good, it was sold as '4D carbon'. If you could clear coat it you would never know it was a vinyl, pretty cool stuff! A lot cheaper than my splitter was lol.

One thing I'd suggest is, I'd test on a piece first as the clear coat could fill the pores of the vinyl making it just looking like black until you really look.

I had a whole new heating system including radiators 2 weeks ago after my boiler let go. If you're surrey/london way I know a very good duo who are great on price and are perfectionists too. Get a combi boiler, we had one installed and its amazing, we've gained a full size cupboard from ditching the hot water tank and we've also ditched the cold water tank in the loft.

The only bit which was an unexpected issue (other than the boiler letting go!) is that we had to have a new shower as the water pressure we now have is too high for the old electric one we had.

I was mostly being sad that this arrived today instead of a new buddy club exhaust stupid old one had to set itself on fire!

Vividracing.co.uk do some bits, saw an airbox on there made by arc, not sure about caps, but then again I wasn't looking for them so probably missed them

becareful it could be this guy

 

 

I heard he had his head kicked in by Master Splinter. Cowabunga dudes!

 

(has anyone said cowabunga since 1994?)

You fight well... in the old style. But you've caused me enough trouble. Now you face: the Shredder.

What about getting a skin of your roof made in real carbon?

Then clean up the damaged area and get the carbon skin bonded on the top. Treat it with kleers carbon protect product and boom, gorgeous roof which is the real deal

plug any holes you have in exterior walls with a wad of wire wool and expanding foam. Rats can chew through a steel drainpipe, but they won't go through wire wool because it gets stuck in their teeth and cuts their gums.

There's a company on fleabay who sell scrubbed btcc slicks and they're not normally too much money. You have to be a bit relaxed with your sizes though as they aren't in so many different widths.

I assume you mean the 3 at the top? I removed the dials (they're screwed and plastic riveted) and then cut around the bottom part. There is a small 'lip' in the p[lastic that I followed with a stanley blade.

They look really smart too

Always start in the middle and work out. A heat gun will work wonders, I have one without a heat control, but I turn it on and just flick the gun over the wrap to warm it a touch.

You want a nice bit of stretch to follow the curves and keep creases out, but not so much that the vinyl will want to retract once it cools down. It will take a couple of goes, but it's not too difficult once you get the hang of it

Some people might actually drive their cars

(Not intended directly at anyone in particular!)

Worked perfectly when I took it out about 2-3 months ago. It's been in a warm dry loft since.

just as an FYI off the back of this, I couldn't even see the forum existed last night. I tried off a few different devices/browsers between roughly 19:50 and 20:45 ish.

Not the first time I've heard of problems with D1 wheel nuts. The problem with them is that they are made of aluminium and in most forms of Motorsport ali nuts are banned in the rules. Personally I'd always stick to steel nuts. Search on SXOC, Driftworks, The EP3 Civic forum or even google. This was a car which went into Garage D the other week, supposedly all 4 corners were the same.

Sorry, didn't post the pic last night as for some reason I couldn't get on the forum. A pic will be up 6-ish tonight

I had a job interview with them a couple of years ago. Each member of staff must sell 19 tickets a shift or something mad, I wouldn't be surprised if they got heavy discounts from the car dealers as A) It's amazing advertising for them having a car or 2 in the middle of a busy airport for a month and B ) They probably buy a fair few cars off each manufacturer.

Reason for edit: removing an accidental smiley

I have one which I'd like to get rid of. It hasn't been un-paired though. I can upload pics tonight if you'd like.

Like those steps a lot! I was interested in some a while a go. They look really smart. In the last pic your paint looks almost satin, quite like that too!

Well according to the new MOT rules which came into effect on the 20th March I think it was, the seat has to move into multiple positions. I can't open the doc on the vosa website, but here it is on the AA one. http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/car-servicing-repair/mot-changes-2012.html

The actual bit:

"Seats

It must be possible to secure the driver's seat fore and aft adjustment mechanism in two or three different positions. On electric seats the motors must move the seat fore and aft."

I'd buy some cheap 17's as skid rims
