    Exhaust Quandary

    After some input / opinions on what to do with my exhaust. I don't want this to turn into a generic 3'' thread. I'm getting old! Mine is now too loud if I'm honest. Whilst it's rarely used, and I do still get a smile from it. It's loud, obnoxious, and gets filthy looks everywhere it goes...

    Side sticker location

    Would someone be kind enough to measure the distance for the side stickers for me. Ideally down from the swage / body line, as I have different skirts. And from the door shut I guess. Pictures would also help, incase I can mix up sides or something. Thanks, and sorry if there's a thread...

    Universal Bungs

    Has anybody tried a universal exhaust bung? There's a load on eBay, some look identical to the one Buddyclub sell. It's something I wouldn't use much, winter to de ice car, early morning starts. Buddyclubs is £53 Inc delivery. The only thing making me lean towards it, is its a slightly...

    Insurance (with track day) Woes

    So I'll preface this by saying Im 33 next month, clean licence since I was 18 or whatever it was when I passed. 12 years, possibly more ncb, though I think over 9 doesn't really count. Cars parked on drive, occasional commuting, under 5k a year. Now I've tracked it before, without track...

    Paint Code for White Wheels OEM

    So im sure this has been asked before. The only thread i could find suggested they are NH0. Which i cant believe. They are far whiter than Champ White, plus mine have been touched up with what i can only assume is HN0, and its far creamier on the touched up parts. So does anyone actually know...

    Show me your Bonnet Struts / Lifters

    Ok, so those of you who have seen my car lately. Know that I need to sort my bonnet lifter situation. With my rbc, the standard prop is no good. The retaining clip wont fit. I did look at buying some nrg lifters, but after seeing them fitted, saw they raise the bonnet slightly along the wing...

    Brake Pedal / Servo Operation

    Can some of you guys tell me how your pedal reacts compared to mine please. If I switch off car, with pedal depressed, it raises itself, as if the abs pump is forcing it back up. This is every time, Ive repeated it to confirm. If i switch off the car, there is no servo assistance, instantly...

    Whats Causing this - Or is it normal

    So i cant remember what my idle was like before the rbc. But since ive fitted the rbc, it has been hunting between 1k - 2k when warm. And idling a bit high mostly. I had cleaned the ICV, to no avail. So was thinking this was at fault. Ive since found the thermal gasket wasnt sealing properly...

    How to Replace Start Button Bulb

    Fitting Buddyclub RCAs - Roll Center Adjusters

    Im not sure how much use this will be to people, but i couldnt see one on here. Ill start by saying, this is doable DIY, but you need a vice really. You could try another method of getting the RCA in, but short of hitting it in, i cant think of any, other than vice and press. Again, im going...

    How To Adjust Air Filter Height

    So this may be of use to some of you. I know clearance for strut braces can be an issue. May also help with RBC issues. I know there are problems fitting RBC with Mugen and J's, though not sure this would apply as not fitted mine yet. I bought an Ultra Racing 4 point brace, which didnt clear...

    How To Fit Steering Rack Raiser

    I know a few of you have been interested in this. So thought id put a little guide together. Ill start by saying, i DID NOT do this in situ. Obviously that would be easier, and ideal. But i couldnt budge my rack arms. Theres very little to get any leverage, and thats with a Buddyclub header...

    How low is your clutch...

    So to get some other ideas if how these are.. How low is the biting point of your clutch? Mines pretty low. To the extent if you don't bury the pedal in the bulkhead, it sometimes snatches gears. So I'm thinking mines in its way out. I'm just more used to pedals being higher as they wear.

    How To Fit Gearbox Mount Inserts
