The X5A's are a snug fit not tight but very snug is that something you get used to? Thank you for the advice, I will wear the Auritech ear plugs underneath when I'm wearing my sunglasses.
-
Thank you. The X5A ear defenders have now arrived. I'm fortunate so far and only need readers, sunglasses could be a issue I hadn't thought about..
-
X5A it is then. Brilliant thank you
-
Once again thank you Jonathan..

I'm in the process of trying to workout the best ear protection for driving my Sigma powered 7 fitted with a peashooter exhaust. I'm thinking 3M Peltor Opitime lll ear defenders I don't wish to listen to music or have any intercom so would the Peltor X5A be just a waste or a better ear protection?
-
I wasn't sure on which section I needed to ask this question on, I figured it's more technical.. I have a peashooter exhaust fitted to my Sigma powered car so as you'll know the exhaust is on the drivers side. What would be considered the best ear protection? I am currently using these below without helmet, they do cancel out the wind noise but the exhaust is still quite loud. Any recommendations or advice? https://www.amazon.co.uk/AURITECH-Earplugs-Generation-Protection-Motorcyclists/dp/B013B93O86

Thank you. Avon recommend a lot higher tyre pressure than I've been running.

Hi all, Relatively new to trackdays, so I could be moidering over nothing. I had my car flat floored and the geo done last October. I'm not aggressive so I don't bounce over the curbs.I run pressures of 19psi adjusting throughout the day. After very few laps I get some tyre scrubbing. I had a wander around the pits at Oulton this weekend to have a look at other Caterham tyre wear, none seemed to be scrubbed like mine. The attached photos are after a 60+mile drive home. I don't get any visible tyre scrub on normal/spirited road use. Any opinions or advice.

Thank you Jonathan.

I'm considering buying and fitting a new carbon dash from Ultimate Carbon the one with the cut outs for the gauges and switches already done. I haven't got a clue where to start..Is it a job for a novice or should I entrust this job to a professional ? 1/ Do I remove the scuttle, if so how? 2/ How do I remove the old dash and how to refit the new one? How is the dash fixed in place?

Hi, Im looking for a speedometer for a 2010 Sigma powered car..,
-
Road legal Avon ZZR 185/55/13 needed with enough tread depth to drive to a trackday do the trackday and drive back home.
-
I thought understeer myself, but not sure if it would be excessive..
-
Hi all, I have a decent pair of 215/55/13 ZZR's rears and a decent pair of 185/55/13 ZZS fronts. I'm pondering the thought of maximising the usage of these tyres without buying yet more tyres for track use. Any thoughts on what I could expect with this mixed setup on track?

Just seen this in wanted... /forum/wanted/s3-half-hood-1

-
I've got to ask, what are the dates and how much?
-
Thank you for that..Wear not as bad as first thought then! Thankfully I have a spare set of wheels and tyres I've been using for trackdays.
-
Would anybody know the tread depth of a brand new ZZS tyre 215/55/13? I've just checked my rears which are only 9 months old and they are showing 3.7 mm right across the tyre.
-
Exactly, it's a bugger when the technique needs to be explained to me lol...

Quick update Went out last night for a quick blat. Filled up at the same local Shell station I've always used. Once the nozzle was inserted fully I pushed it towards the front of the car keeping it a little more vertical, hey presto 1st time ever the auto shut off clicked off Thanks all..
-
#13 I will make sure the said nozzle is fully home and more vertical. I always feather the trigger I only ever give it the full gas for a few seconds if I'm filling from empty.
-
Thanks, I'll do that and see if it makes a difference.
-
I have, is it easily removed?
-
Yeah nozzle inserted as far in as it will go, the petrol will just overflow passed the nozzle once it's getting full. I use 3 different Shell service staitions in my area and it does it at each one.
