I have been told there is a UK supplier on Facebook. I'm not a Facebook user so I haven't checked. Yes, they are re - manufactured but I don't think that's a problem: the Maxsport RB5 is the same and most of the front runners in the ASWMC speed championship used the soft compound RB5. I...

The MSA have listed a new competition tyre ...... Extreme VR2 - which I believe is made in Poland? The tread pattern looks similar to the AR1 but the new VR2 comes in three different compounds (soft, medium or hard) which might make it a good option for competition use. Has anybody tried...

No ..... don't do it! :fearscream:

Agreed ..... no changes to Roadgoing Series Production category. The only thing to be aware of are there may be some changes to the Tyre Lists. I have heard two rumours - 1) some tyres in certain compounds may move from List 1C to List 1B. 2) The tyre manufacturers want to introduce new tyres...

Ok ... just one more :-)

Last one .... honest :-)

Yes ... no headrests ;-)

The car runs in the ASWMC Championship under the MSA regulations for 'Series Production Cars' which limits the amount of modifications to the body work... e.g. no additional holes for cooling. It also has to have tax, insurance and an mot. It still has the back seat fitted even though you...

Racing Blue must be the fastest colour ......

Mamhead hillclimb last weekend. New event in the South West organised by Torbay Motor Club.

Correct .... no changes to road going series production. The pdf issued by the MSA mainly covers the Blue Book changes for the introduction of the new 'Standard' category. It's very confusing because the pdf only shows the sections that have changed. ... The sections that have not changed are...

Forgot to say .... A Clio 172 with tax and MOT, running on list 1b tyres will still fit into 'Road Going Series Production'..... Unless you have stripped the interior? The full definition is in section 11 of the Blue Book. This category is still valid for 2017 as is one of the most popular...

Hi ... yes it is confusing. Hope I can help: The Motorsports Association is the UK governing body. Each year they produce a Blue Book which defines rules and regulations for that year. The Blue Book defines broad 'Categories' such as 'road going series production' , 'road going specialist...

Agreed .. it's just the new 'Standard' category being introduced for 2017 that is limited to List 1a. Two problems I can see for this new category - 1) some drivers / enthusiasts entering this new entry level category will already have a good set of tyres that they have used for the odd track...

I'd like to see the Kumho Ecsta V70A (hard, medium and soft compounds) move to List 1B. I found the 'Supersoft' compound was brilliant for hillclimbs / sprints but just too soft for the road - so I would see that compound staying as List 1C. Wet weather grip was also very, very good with the...

If you are serious about 'sprint' tyres then I suggest you wait until the MSA publish the approved tyre lists for 2017. The MSA and the tyre manufacturers get together this month to update the lists for 2017. There is a rumour that some tyres currently in List 1C will move to List 1B for next...

My sprint / hillclimb car ......

The car runs in class A3 .... nowhere near as quick as brushwood69 but still great fun. The spec is ... Throttle bodies, Clio 3 cams, ktr cat back exhaust, sports cat, gaz coilovers, negative camber all round, nice wheels, toyo r888r tyres, momo wheel, carbon seats, full harnesses, half cage...

Going up the hill towards Monkeys Jump roundabout... looked and sounded very nice.

Very good.... 170 bhp at the wheels is very healthy and good torque figures as well. What rev limit do you set yourself ? The dyno figure goes to 7,000 revs?

'How long has it lasted?' I bought one of the first 1080p clones from banggood in early 2013 .... still going strong. I think the best thing is do your research, compare the specs and the options ........ but there are some very good cheap clones out there. I would rather spend money on my...

'Is it the same?' It certainly looks the same ..... the reviews of the 4k one look good. 4300 cameras sold and over 300 good reviews. At £38 quid I think you could take a punt.... Another tip .... Make sure you get a class 10 or better memory card so that the write to storage can keep up with...

Sample of my 1080p 'banggood' camera... make sure you wack it in to HD7 on youtube. The poor noise quality is that for competition the camera has to be bolted on to something solid .... For me it's the roll cage which bolts on to the suspension - hence a lot of transmitted noise. I think...

There is a good selection at banggood.com (Chinese). Such as ..... http://www.banggood.com/EKEN-H9-WiFi-Sport-Action-Camera-DV-Car-DVR-Ultra-HD-4K-SPCA6350-HDMI-2-Inch-LCD-p-994488.html?cur_warehouse=CN That's a 4K camera for 38 quid !!!!! A word of warning .... shipping to the uk is free but...

Add me please ...... Thanks.

My first post as a new member: K-Tec are building a hillclimb and sprint car for me using a rather neglected Clio 182 as a basis - its in a rather nifty French Racing Blue colour and its registration number is M100CUP. The car is currently covered in about 2 inches of dust and debris and...
