Nuke the entire hub from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

The wax is crap, so basically that's exactly what you're buying it for, those products you mention. And yes, they are very good, and you get a good size sample. That's the reason I'm stopping, I already have stuff I've not used yet. A few products have dual usage, for example exterior trim cleaner can also be used inside.

I'm not purchasing this month. I've still got too many products that are basically the same sitting on my shelf, and the last thing I need is more. I will miss the air freshener though

Elise. SEOT.

No sweat, they're all based on a bit of scaffolding regardless!

Because it's not an actual Sagaris, It's a Tuscan.

Remove the engine damper, is the noise still there? I doubt that's the cause, but it's an easy one to check.

Targa, not convertible Looks ace. I just wish TVR had stayed around long enough to make a real one.

It wasn't a rant at all. It was an observation, something you lack if you routinely jump red lights even at places you know to be a bit dodgy. And no, since I grew up I've not been caught for speeding. Oddly that's because I don't speed, but I'm sure you'll choose not to believe as well. I care not a jot.

There's a difference between making a dash for the yellow and jumping a red. That bloke jumped a red, he was quite clearly never going to make it. And funnily enough Dblock, most of us on here are careful drivers who have an ounce of common sense and tend to not jump a red light. Try not to tar us all with the Brush Of Crap Observation And Driving that you seem happy to paint yourself with

Everyone loves a Singer. I saw some of this last night, the bit with Hammond driving the Sesto Elemento. It was gash. Poorly scripted, not funny, not particularly well shot, and zero emotion of the car. It disturbs me how one of my favourite car journos, Dickie Meaden, can be involved in something so incredibly tedious.

Amber after red means release the brake NOW so launch control takes over, and let's you rape the snot out of that Transit that's been sat up your arse for the last 6 miles.

MY EYES THEY BURN WITH AIDS Those wheels are a shocking choice.

I'm going to quote this, for that time when someone jumps a red light and ploughs into the side of your car. Will it just be a tiny mistake then?

Depends. Will it affect the settings you have on the car already? No, I don't think so, unless you're particularly cack-handed and knock crap out of the car when fitting them. Will they affect the way the car handles afterwards? Yes, so the car will no longer handle like the geo you specified. That may seem contradictory, but it's not.

I don't want to live on this planet any more.

I think it's geared to around 186mph. A non FI car wouldn't get near that though, unless you had a bonkers NA build.

S1 HNK and Sarnie are spot-on. Either buy a cheap shed and accept it for what it is, or buy something cheap and fun that's not necessarily quick (172 and MX5 for that sort of money). Everything else you've mentioned is going to be pricey to keep on the road, and if running costs aren't an issue then save for a couple of months which allows you to double your budget and get something that will actually survive without costing you a small fortune. How you can write off stuff like a BMW or Celica but put interest into an ST170 which is as boggo and common looking as anything I've no idea. I do like the ST170s, but I wouldn't say they've got anywhere near the street cred (which I'm guessing is what you're after) of something like the Celica.

All of those can cost a bomb to run. Double your budget and get something more reliable?

Very possible. It's a 5 year old car, my slave and master went on my Revup when it was but a mere four years old. Bleeding the clutch is a pain, but your garage could well be right. Change both slave and master together, the parts are peanuts compared to the labour.

Surely that would be better than getting pulled and given 3pts? Ask the question, get it tested, if it's fine then you'll never have to worry again.

What cleaning products did you use? And black is fastest, but blue is best

Straight away, really. It will change fractionally after settling, but masses after changing springs. I wouldn't bother doing it twice unless you're loaded. Go somewhere that can do you a proper setup, not just £40 to get back somewhere within Nissan specs.

Genuinely, don't bother. They won't cover clutches anyway as they're wear and tear. Worst case scenario is the engine breaking. £1500 and you're back in business, so it seems a waste of money to look at warranties for the kind of money you're looking at.
