What is the difference and where are you meant to use each one? :geek:

This dude on another forum wrote:Hondabond 4
Semi-drying liquid gasket. Seals irregular surfaces with a tough, elastic film. Solvent-based for easy removal; resists fuel.

Hondabond HT
High-temperature silicone liquid gasket. Unique formula is non-acidic and won't corrode aluminium like other silicone gasket products will. For use in areas not requiring solid gaskets.

HT is better, not as runny. Dearer though
Seems to make sense.

This weekend is rounds 4&5 of SLS. The car is pretty much ready after having its new clutch put in although I am still getting high rpm 5th gear grind :(

I spent yesterday afternoon swapping front and rear tyres. The rears had quite a lot of pick up on them which I removed:

From just one tyre (just what I could be bothered to take off)

Is Steve's logo supposed to suggest that he does diagnostics?
