    Minilite options?

    Hi, I've been reluctant to comment as our car (definitely more Gavins these days) sports Minilites but they are not a "normal" P6 size as our car is not standard, but I think they rather suit it. Thanks, Tim

    good bye Wheeler dealers says Ed china!!!

    I've watched the first 2 and they seem dare I say it mildly better than before, they seem to have toned down Mike and Ant seems pretty capable, maybe has some good support :) I for one will keep watching...... which is more than I can say for the last series which lost me completely.

    Upgraded swaybar swap

    Hi, Our version one bar looked very like your bar, sharp transitions, it lasted a couple of events before breaking. We do work our car pretty hard so draw your own conclusions but if it was me I'd remove it before it breaks and soften the transitions. Tim

    breaking axles

    Hi, One of the main reasons we went Jag diff with ours, although we never actually had one fail. Tim

    Anyone any experience with fosseway performence brakes?

    Hi, With what we do with our car, when the brakes were standard, we often had to drive to the limit of the brakes, two things have changed this, use of Ferodo DS2500 pads on the front and the Jag conversion at the rear. The DS2500 pads are a proper Track/race pad and thus expensive compared to...

    GRP WINGS

    Hi, I was looking for a good pic of the D post surgery but don't really have one to hand, this is the best I can do. We moved the lower fixing up as the bit of the D post it normally bolted to wasn't there anymore :) We thinned the lower corner of the door as well as that's the next bit that...

    GRP WINGS

    Love the wings! We run 15x7 (205/65-15 tyres) under "almost" standard body work, some chopping around the inner part of the rear wings and bottom of the D pillar but the outer panel stays standard and where it normally is, it's very tight but as there is essentially no rubber in our rear...

    Clutch drag when hot

    Hi, Might be worth trying some new brake/clutch fluid, old fluid can behave strangly to a bit of heat. Tim

    Custom Anti Roll Bar- Cheap opportunity!

    Hi, I think from memory they are UNF not UNC, we use capscrews, a little harder to fit but you do tend to get a better quality of screw. Tim

    Custom Anti Roll Bar- Cheap opportunity!

    Hi, I think the original objective of the post/thread has been met, which is great there are now a number of options for people to follow depending on their own situations/talents/budgets etc…. Access to cheap (free) machining (as well as 2 Peugeot ABRs in corner of garage from previous...

    Custom Anti Roll Bar- Cheap opportunity!

    Hi, We had no issues machining the 306 bar in the state that it was removed from the donor car in. We didn't do any post machining heat treatment, the bar was WELL tested and as long as it is well radiused it should be fine. Tim

    Custom Anti Roll Bar- Cheap opportunity!

    Hi, I was going to try and take a picture as I thought that was the case but couldn't specifically remember, I remember it being very well machined. It is a beast of a bar, it will make the car sit much flater in the corners, on an otherwise standard car I think it may well induce understeer...

    Custom Anti Roll Bar- Cheap opportunity!

    Hi Alex, Apologies, I was actually replying to a short lived post that suggested the car would oversteer after the bar was fitted, it seems to have been deleted. If the hex is machined offset all the extra width is away front the bulkhead etc.. so there should be no need for cutting the car...
