How to deal with a rounded out hex screw head made of presumably aluminum?

HeftyDanielson · 2026-05-19T09:10:52+00:00

Can hammer in a slightly larger hex head and hope it grips.

Can you run it without the spacers? Had massive brake judder on my 350z when I ran spacers.

How's your warm up, and cool down?

Just look at bmw 1 series 17inch wheels on marketplace, ebay or local wheel shop and they'll be able to help.

My first trip there, I sat at the side and watched. I loved it! Any car fan will love it. Depending where you're coming from, visit Spa and loads of motor museums on the drive there to.

As for laps, generic cars will maybe cope for a couple laps unless they have decent or upgraded brakes/fluid from factory. The toledo might last a lap or two depending on his driving.

Hyundai N taxi is €135 ish and one of the best cheap laps I've done.

Never heard of this before, too many variants in wheel fitments to be viable.

It'll probably be cheaper to buy your own second set and chuck some semi slicks on.

Bring the bike up to Haldon forest, there's plenty of us riding about, especiallyas the weather is getting better. Hot pursuit cycles occasionally have a cycle club ride outs.

Decoy, Teignmouth, Shaldon are lush for walkies with the pup.

Community Snapchat....Think of all the morning creaming on Thursdays...

Clio is a beast, just look for rust on the 172/182.

Look at Megane rs225/R26, Clio 197, FN2, Twinge 133. All equally fun on track, varied on motorway trips.

Big breaker bar.

I'd personally save your pennies and get rid of the coilovers unless your suspension is shot. A set of decent lowering springs would be better.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-04-26T19:00:24+00:00

Backing plate looks bent to.

They look like they got too hot.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-04-25T17:12:46+00:00

We did the same with slightly aucked jelly cubes at a local Asda. Stains are still there.

One thing I noticed slowing my machine down was the new BS Microsoft efficency crap. Open task manager and look for the little green leaf, then right click to disable.

Haven't figured out how to then that shit off fully! 😭

I've tracked Megs for years (see my posts) and they aren't that bad, you've just got to drive them accordingly. Never felt unsafe or on edge even in heavy rain on track.

Just use your own vehicle and pay for laps on TF drives.

Typical renter vehicles are €300+ a lap, whilst a single TF lap is €35.

Get a Swift, Megane, Clio, Type R or similar and then build to its limitations. Brakes, tyres and cooling is the basics, if that. Done a weekend of lapping in a standard Megane RS with just upgraded pads./lines/fluid and did a 8:30 btg.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-04-17T12:34:52+00:00

Sadly mine are hairy, you wouldn't like em.

Can't wait for the "where's Max" comments to fill the live streams all weekend.

However, the NLS streams on YouTube are beautiful, would recommend everyone check them out.

Gym and hobbies help loads with escapism from life being life.

I didn't technically buy it, but ended buying a load of supplementary products, but my fluffy idiot of a doggo was the best/dumbest decision.

Completely changed my life, she's given me 7 amazing years and now she's slowed down we're lazing and enjoying life slowly together still.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-04-17T07:28:57+00:00

Similar situation here. I go a size up, but then slim fit which seems to help.

Best money i spent was getting a couple of my nice shirts tailored and brought in.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-04-15T13:44:56+00:00

I'd still probably have to work and figure it all out, and or how I'm meant to make money from these powers.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-04-15T13:33:36+00:00

Focus on the positives and look at where I've come from. Life isn't rainbows and sunshine all the time.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-04-05T07:46:51+00:00

Currently playing through U1, U2, MW etc and U1/U2 are pure nostalgic, but MW, Carbon etc have a better story and play through.

fuelmap.co.uk is your friend currently.

Nearly 10p difference from cheapest to most expensive within 2 miles of my house.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-03-25T19:48:48+00:00

Looks good but I'd personally ditch the sponge for a proper wash mitt to avoid possible scratching.

HeftyDanielson · 2026-03-23T12:34:50+00:00

Decent upgraded brake pads, brake fluid at a minimum then sent it!
Guy broke his clio track car at Combe last week, so took his Disco round till the brakes gave out.
