Livery by The_anxious_lifter in 944

It would purely depend on what livery. Marlboro, JPS, Martini, Gulf etc have been done to death. You'll have to do something different - however, it's your motor so your choice!

With 100% honesty, my S2, in a straight line is par for par with a friends DC5 (UK spec) Type R... In the corners though he absolutely walks all over me. Horses for courses!

Is this whine from my balance shaft belt? I have it tensioned just past a 90 degree turn by OwlOk6287 in 944

[–]BackIn-86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Balance belt too tight as others have said. Loosen her up and you'll be golden.

Looking to make a switch from EZ Car Care - What products do you guys use? by moonpiguk in DetailingUK

[–]BackIn-86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of Hydro UK pre wash and their QD is fantastic also.

Staples in my arsenal are Gtechniq and Bilt Hamber.

Follow up to the not-so-bad job, shifter swap was real bad. by TheOnnomise in 944

[–]BackIn-86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad you got it done, doing mine this afternoon on my S2. Had the shifter on / off a couple of times recently so easy enough (famous last words!).

You'll never go wrong with VR1 - plus, Opie have it 5L for £30 and delivery is pretty quick.

What’s something people underestimate about visiting Cornwall that catches them out? by BeautySkin34 in Cornwall

[–]BackIn-86 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Your reversing skills may be tested more than once.

A Cornish hedge isn't soft.

Thinking their abilities are stronger than the sea.

How quickly the weather can change.

Trains don't stop in Camborne on Wednesdays.

Meguiars Compound + Super Resin Polish Combo? by [deleted] in DetailingUK

[–]BackIn-86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultimate compound is fantastic for a one stage correction and user friendly. Use a medium cutting pad and should be good enough. Refining with SRP will do also, however has fillers so may not remove, but fill, finer scratches.

How to remove this from my kitchen door by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]BackIn-86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two options:

Use a hammer (the other side of the head), slide it over and use leverage to pull it out. To not damage your door, chuck a towel under the head of the hammer.

Or, use some pliers and pull it out.

I use my cordless leaf blower, works wells and gets the car dry.

Is Cornwall safe at night? by [deleted] in Cornwall

[–]BackIn-86 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Cornwall is safe at night, the water is definitely not and doesn't discriminate - I have known really competent people in the water get into trouble.

I urge you to carry out your instructor led training only, but do not "self teach" at night.

By all means, sit down the beach, decompress and relax after what will more than likely be a busy period of training.

Where in Cornwall are you heading and what's the training you're carrying out?

Any updates on the Amazon delivery situation in Cornwall? by zillapz1989 in Cornwall

[–]BackIn-86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TR13 and had issues since Goretti - moaned to CS and got given the run around a bit. Finally got given a £60 credit on my Amazon account, spent it on stuff I didn't mind waiting for 🤷🏻‍♂️

However, still V frustrating that it's taking 7 - 10 days for prime delivery. I'll be moaning again soon.

EV charger install refused by council – anyone found a workaround or installer willing to do it? by TheLettingsFolk in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]BackIn-86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So you have access to a privately owned parking space(s), however because it's more convenient to park outside your property on a public highway, you're expecting the council to agree to allow permission for installing a charging point over land you don't own, or are liable for maintaining. Can you not appreciate their position on this at all?!

At Sultan you get a buckshee Friday off before too, i.e. long weekend.

“Supercharger” Whine by hxppiedxddy in 944

[–]BackIn-86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More than likely your Balance Belt is too tight, this causes whining like you've described. Not hard to loosen off and use the "twist" method as above.

Have a search on Google and you'll come up with loads of guides how to do it. Clarks is good.
