    Why You Should Change Your Oil Frequently

    always changed engine oil every 10000km (roughly 6200 miles), also considering i often go to trackdays!!! I also stick with the recommended oil manufacturer, after making sure that it is indeed is the oil with which the dyno durability tests have been done (little insider info here is needed...

    Suspension Lower Balljoint Rubbers

    OK, no group discounts. But basically the same price TheOnePC paid for the pair of R1 arms (140€ each). However on Friday they are meeting up with renault sport and they will try and see if the ball joint could be made available separately, and also confirm possible differences between the std...

    oh, but I would be. :twisted: the tyres are slicks from the euro radical masters championship...last time i went to a track day i fitted them but 5 min prior to the session it started raining so still need to try these tyres on track. Tested them on the road and the amount of grip is silly...

    Visit to UK and brakes

    Hi all, I'll be over in the UK next week-end, and wanted to buy a set of front discs and rear pads for my 133. In particular, i noticed the good price of the brembo parts, and strange as it may seem, if I don't have to pay for the shipping to Italy, they are much cheaper in the UK than from any...
