Wilwood 310mm replacement discs

Hi, It's been a long time since I've been here but I'm looking to find out where I can buy a replacement set of discs for a Wilwood 310mm kit?

alarm immobiliser fob lost

Hi, I've managed to lose the alarm/immobiliser for my 325i sport. I think it's a clifford alarm as there is a clifford sticker on the driver side window. Currently I can't start the car as I can't turn the immobiliser off. The car is not currently on the road and I'm only using for track days at the...

Anyone been to Japan?

Howdy,

I'm going to be in Japan... Tokyo area mainly for about 2 weeks, maybe more. I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips or places to go for car stuff like drifting/motorsport museums etc.. Going to visit my sister, but I'll have a good lot of time to rent a car and buzz about myself..

Cheers.

plenty of pressure in the rears should help...45-50psi or so...

I've never tried it in an auto, but i usually put 50 psi in the back tyres when I want to drift on track

Tyre Pressure!

Tyre pressure is way too high! Take the front tyre pressure down to 20Psi cold. When they're hot (take about 2 laps of pushing it) they'll be at about 25ish. Leave rears at about 30Psi cold. If then too much oversteer then take them down accordingly until you're happy. I've set my coilovers so that ...

Headlight Cleaning

Hi,

Is it possible to remove the lenses from the four lights/headlights for cleaning purposes? Mine seem pretty dull after being washed from the outside and I reckon if I could get inside them they'd come up pretty smart.

Any tips?

Discs

So I've chamfered the edges of the pads and slightly bent out the 2 slip/clip-on shims that go on either side of the pad onto the caliper so the pad is a snug fit. This seemed to cure it for about 5 minutes until I got a bit of heat in them... then back to the squealing. It could possibly be a depos...
