    Rear Drop Links / Stablizer Bar

    Quick one, I need a new rear drop link. I always replace in pairs, however I am not wanting to fork out £90 for the privilege. Where do people tend to get new rear drop links from? I went for Blueprint EP3 ones on the front, cheaper, good quality and better design imo. Rears however, EP3s...

    Buddyclub N+ mearsurements

    What are people running? Been playing around with mine since I got them trying to find a decent height. I was on skunk2 springs which were mega low, like barely a finger between the tyre and arch lol As you can guess the OEM shocks are dead now after 3 years or so since they were fitted by...

    Camber bolt with elongated strut

    Hopefully fitting coilovers tomorrow. The struts have an elongated top hole where you would normally use a camber bolt but in this case don't have to. I don't have any standard bolts. What's the position of the tab on camber bolts so they are neutral? Just going to use the strut hole to get my...

    Wet tyre pressures

    Curious to see what people run on wet and cold trackdays with their tyres? I run re070 on track can't justify the extra money on ad048s and wouldn't consider r888 any better than re070 which is why I don't have them. Always struggled a bit with re070 in the wet, could be down to the large...

    Clutch Fitting North East / Scotish Borders

    Well since the cold started, the other night when I put the loud pedal down I started to get a small bit of clutch slippage, nothing to bad but still no good to me. It's only done it on that one drive (slipped a good few times). But hasn't done it since. Obvious place for me to go is...

    Kpro No AFR Reading

    Firstly there isn't actually anything wrong with the car - i connected my laptop purely out of interest. I had a read up and can't really find the answer to my question - found out that it is common to see 0.00v for the primary O2 sensor. So thats fine, but my main question is I am getting no...
