    If there's enough left to stick them to, they'll be fine. Just get some decent glue

    They'll go rusty and it'll be a pain in the arse to change wheels as the adaptor they come with will stick on the nuts

    Mike got a reaction from Jay Bamrah in Tuning development NA kit, should I also get super res catback?   
    I had the NA kit with a non-res miltek (probably cracked) that got the attention of the neighbours, it could set car alarms off in multi storey car parks. I got the TD super res fitted, quieter all round but still sounds good. Next time I set off for work after getting it fitted, it set next doors car alarm off... 😁

    I left my car last winter for ~2 months and the brakes didn't stick at all...
    They have stuck previously and held the car on a sloped drive way. Hopefully this is small enough that you don't really read it and only the sentence above and makes you get the BBK!

    Mike got a reaction from James7 in Recall issued on cars to have valve springs replaced 2012-2013   
    Fitting the cossie baffle plate isn't that high really. From what I can remember, a large chunk (almost half?) is down to the sealant being expensive - then a couple hours of labour for removal, putting the plate in and applying the sealant. Car then stays overnight for it to cure but obviously you're not paying for that time. I had other things done at the time but I'm sure it was around a similar price you've been quoted.

    Are you keeping the sard extension brackets or willing to sell? Think I need a set!

    I've got the GPS unit stuck to the top of the head unit, works mostly fine. It did have a period of misreading the speed but not sure if that was just poor signal as it rarely happens. Apparently the stock GPS unit for the satnav is on top of the head unit so shouldn't be an issue.
    The only issue with it stuck on top of the head unit means I need to take the vent out above the head unit, then unstick the GPS unit before removing the head unit. Not something you need to do often though...

    Having bought a front wing myself, the boxes are huge with plenty of space around the wing. Not surprising when you realise how flimsy the things are... as I only had my 86, I had to leave the box behind at the dealer

    Mike got a reaction from jw191 in Clutch gone?   
    It's not the pedal, it's in the engine bay. Just needs re greasing properly. It's behind the engine near the top, just open the bonnet and get someone to press the clutch pedal, it'll be the only bit that moves...

    I've seen plenty of cleaning products say to just use more product if it dries as it's the best thing to "wet" it again and then you can easily wash it off. Might be worth a try?
    Anything you do try though, I'd try somewhere less obvious as a small test patch, if it gets the marks off, do the rest of the car, if not, you've not really lost much.

    Update 02/06/19 - Schroth Harness Installation
    As I'm starting to do more track days, I decided I needed to do something to stop me moving about in the seat so much.
    My initial plan was to purchase a bucket seat, however after looking at the various options and the cost, I decided against this idea. Mainly because I was eyeing up an Edirb 023 seat, which meant lots of ££££'s.
    I therefore decide to get a harness setup first, as this is a much cheaper option. I'd seen that quite a few people are using the Schroth Racing Rallye 3 ASM harness, so after speaking with @VAD17 (and a couple of passenger laps) & @Mike I decided to go ahead and order one in Red.
    It's a straight forward install once you know what your doing, although removing and refitting the seat belt buckle nut is a royal pain in the backside. 
    Here are couple of photo from the installation:

    Mike got a reaction from Lauren in Schroth Rallye 3 ASM harness   
    Had a quick chat with @Lauren at the sprint and have decided to just use the bolt that the reel is connected to as that's what Lauren's done and if the rear reel is connected to it, it must be strong enough (seems pretty well bolted in to the car anyway!). Fit the rear piece last night and you can do it without taking any trim off really. Just lower the rear seat back, remove the 2 pop clips holding the boot liner in at the side and you can get access to the bolt with an extension. A normal socket set should be strong enough to get the nut off.
