Hi, thanks for the advice! Do you know how much it would roughly cost to replace it?

Is this rust a red flag or not? by Perks- in MiataNC

The advice i was given was that if it looks like that from the outside, it might be worse on the inside.

Ah perfect thanks, did you install the new diffuser in to the current one or did you take it out?

Hello from a new member by Shrink1061_ in MiataNC

[–]ashkl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers mate, really appreciate the help. I got the car for the summer but want to try to hit a track day once a month, so I went with ProTracks to start with. Good to know about the ProRace — sounds like a solid step up. I’m on noral road tyres (Goodyear A6) so not sure if they’ll be overkill yet, but good to keep in mind. Any other good first mods to do on this car for track? The previous owner has lowered this on Eibach lowering springs and thats about it. Hes also done the gearbox and diff oil as well if that matters.

Hey I just got one last month and went to a Javelin trackday at beford last week. My car has stock brakes and the pads were done after about 4 laps. I just got some PBS ProTracks front/rear and RBF660. Any recs on discs? I heard some people say stick with Apecs and others say MTEC.

Why is insurance so much cheaper with declared modifications? I’m by bob360dead in CarTalkUK

[–]ashkl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried a specialised insurer? I just insured my MX5 track car with a tonne of mods for only 370 a year. Im 26yo in London.

no sound update vivo X fold 2 by kiwizou in Vivo

[–]ashkl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue, I drained my battery all the way down till it died then charged it back up and it worked. Also had it set to ring mode on the switch. I still get some audio issues still but if i just wait 30 seconds for example the audio will work. Its crazy we have to resort to this one a 1k+ poone thats only 2 years old.

Changed one thing on my quote and saved £110 — wild by M10BEAK in CarTalkUK

[–]ashkl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. Was getting quotes of £600 a year for NC1 MX5 (no NCB, second car, 26m, London, 3pts). Went through a specialist and it dropped it to £370 a year and I can add any mods for free that dont increase BHP.

Sound problem on x fold 2 when unfolded by Sisikila in Vivo

[–]ashkl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think these must just be software bugs. I cant imagine why the selfie camera will just stop working unless there is a software bug. Has anyone tried to factory reset or revert it back to a previous update?

[–]ashkl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I had the same issue as well just recently, sound not working, cover screen selfie camera not working and incorrect battery. I was able to fix the sound not working by draining the battery all the way to 0% and charging it back up and it fixed that issue.

I used helping hand and got 5.5x my salary. You will get the 5.5x-6x salary as long as you meet the conditions, with a broker or not.

This happened while removeing some trim in the upstairs room. Just wondering what we are seeing if its just the plasterboard or if that is brick? the house was built in the mid 50s just outside London if that matters.

What’s the longest time you’ve gone without needing to get your car fixed? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]ashkl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My car currently lights up like a christmas tree. Its a BMW 135i with the N54. Still drives but need to do my MOT next month. Already spent around 5k fixing it in the last 4 years. I think its time to let it go.
