There's loads of them, just search for M5 helicoil kit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR7.TRC1.A0.Xm5+helicoil+kit&_nkw=m5+helicoil+kit&_sacat=0&_from=R40 That's weird, some parts on my car are helicoiled from the manufacturer (uprights and brake calipers) and they haven't come out, even with threadlock on the bolt going into them.

Yep...

What is a correct / suitable application for a helicoil then? I've never seen one break / fail / come out unless the person was doing something wrong. (Looking to learn something here, not get attitude / an aggressive response.)

Prefer spunk to be honest.

They are pretty tricky to fit, poor quality. If you want to use something like this, the Trialtech one is much better. In theory they should make no difference but in reality I have seen a slight improvement in how 'evenly' the cylinders operate.

Tastes shit, does horrible things to you - no thanks.

Probably wouldn't matter in Nick's car, 4th gear everywhere it has so much torque!

Nah! I could do it left handed though just in case?

White wheels do look good ... ... For a couple of laps. On a different note, I'd really like to drive your car on track!

I guess I was a little harsh there - anywhere you can pedal your car flat out is going to be fun, but I wish they hadn't made both the chicanes virtually identical, I keep forgetting which bit of the lap we're at when watching the vids, haha. Indeed they do! Guess other tracks (apart from Croft) aren't like that so it's not an issue really...

Bloody 4WD Jap turbo barges... Is Combe as boring as it looks or do all the bumps keep it interesting?

Doing passenger rides this weekend for Westfield at the Total Kit Car Live Show at Blyton Park (https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Blyton+Park+Driving+Centre,+Kirton+Road,+Gainsborough&hl=en&ll=53.360387,-0.917358&spn=1.363761,2.469177&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=10.810514,19.753418&oq=blyton+park&t=m&hq=Blyton+Park+Driving+Centre,&hnear=Kirton+Rd,+Blyton,+Gainsborough,+United+Kingdom&z=9) - only a fiver to get in and free passenger rides, so not a bad way to spend your Saturday if you're into cars! http://www.totalkitcarlive.com/index.html

They aren't specifically. Trials companies don't release bikes yearly, just as and when they are ready.

Yep it's a catalogue part. Weird how people's experiences of products vary so much......

Looks exactly the same as the viz and rockman 72 to me.

That may work, but you'd need a front chainring or splined sprocket of course! And the smaller the better.

Sounds like your car is too stiff, more body roll = less weight transfer to the outside wheel (therefore more weight on the inside wheel). I can see what you mean, I haven't experienced ABS properly on track though so probably can't comment... Seems like it would feel very odd just mashing the pedal in every braking zone though.

Ah, yes, ice might be the exception - although I find all those systems mostly get too confused in such slippery conditions. What about on track? Surely you must find ABS intrusive?

Truth. Electronic gadgets suck.

Looks like Neon of V!Z or something like that, nothing special anyway. For info, fiber vidrium is Spanish for fibreglass...

Not really, since if you can't use Monty cranks, that's a good thing

Bit of a bump...

Yeah, too right. Very bad driving that. Car needed a new shell Aye, race license points. Not sure what the threshold is for a ban though...

Indeed. That's the 'other' MX-5 race series, not the one I'm in luckily! He'll have been doing at least 75-80 when he hit the wall there (we raced at that circuit earlier this year). Driver of the orange car got 4 points on his license and is now banned from that series.
