Hi there Just stumbled accross this thread. I sprint my 172 cup in the NSCC Championship. I have heard a rumour that KTec may be staging a sprint in the near future! Would be good to catch up with other competitors from around the country at one venue;)

Could do with some of d trattle bodies ya now!!!!!!! Cheers Andy :cool::cool::cool::cool:

Many thanks to all at K Tec and GDi for a great day. Really enjoyed the chance to give some of you a few quick laps. I'll now try and get my head out of the front door :D. Hope to see more of you all on track soon.

Wanted the smallest possible rolling radius for lower ride height and better acceleration. 15's dont have to run on 50 profile.

Hi there. Here is my clio on apex springs and wearing 16” Ultraleggeras. And here is the car on apex again, but with 15” superleggeras. Hope this gives you some idea of what you will get. The tyres on both are 195/45’s.

I had the front and rear cambers set up by Xtreme Motorsport which is near Alrewas, just off the A38. He used to run Clio Cup racers and had the rear shims in stock. The front camber bolts he used on my car are actually 14mm so the hub and front strut had to be drilled out to suit. All in with...

I had mine painted when the tailgate was done, I didn't really notice it much but others have! Will try and find a pic.;)

Would swap my washer jets for your blanking plates that my car should have?????

My K-Tec stealth is great. Subtle at cruising speed and rasping when giving it full bore. As for the brake pads, I have tried both Ferodo DS2500 and Carbon Lorraine pads from K-TEC and can highly recommend both for supreme stopping power. I use these on my 172 Cup when sprinting and they are...

What is the PCD and offset for wheels on a 172 cup ph 2?

I had the Eibach Sportline kit which didn't lower the car. The pro kit is a harsher ride than the sports! I have just fitted an Apex kit from K-Tec which lowered the car about an inch and it now sits about level, not nose up!

I have recently fitted a set of DS2500 pads on the front of my 172 cup with high carbon brembo discs as recommended by Shaun @ K-TEC. After bedding in as per the instuctions, these pads grip like nothing else I have tried. Especially from cold which was what I needed while sprinting the car...

Impact gun is the way. I use a DeWalt 18v gun. I am putting some Apex springs on my 172 cup tonight from K-Tec. Found that the Eibach springs I got direct from Eibach didn't actually lower the car which was what I was after!

Hi All Round 4 for me of the NSCC speed championship this Sunday at Curborough Sprint Course nr Fradley Park off the A38 in Staffs. Target time for my class is still 37.01 set by a standard! MG TF. Last time out I managed a 38.85 and a close encounter with the barrier on the back straight...

Sorry, I mean't Harewood!! That pic isn't me unfortunately! It looks like a chap by the name of Mr Pinder? My car is the 172 Cup with smoke pouring of the inside wheel whenever I try to accelerate out of a tight corner. Next meeting is at Curborough sprint course just off the A38 at Fradley...
