I'm no expert driver, I'm just not scared of a risk or three...

Might feel that way but from my experience there's sod-all in it.

Not with another 35-40bhp he isn't.

But a fast driver in a standard 225 is quicker than a slow driver in a remapped one.

I'm all for the 'right foot remap' as I call it... If you want to go faster, drive harder!

Yeah it's a documentary, it's really good to be fair.

Assuming you watched the Nurburgring movie too lol. I was behind you in the black Fiesta ST.

I don't drink enough to watch football.

Unlucky! Funny how I knew where the crash would be before clicking on the video lol. My mates were there that day too... Blue Forester STI and gold MX-5.

An MX-5 is a great laugh there's no denying that, but in this day in age with the popularity of trackdays growing they just end up as mobile chicanes for all the Evo's, Caterham's and such like. And that's coming from someone who has an MX-5 track car!

I agree with JB21 that a track slag should be cheap and cheerful. Unless £6k is down the back of the sofa at your house I'd be looking at spending £2k tops. The less you spend the less you cry when they're pulling it out the armco.

They are very familiar though!

Are they 3-stud or 4?

Was just going to say the same! Edit - Can't find any on Google with those wheels though!

Same goes for watching any UK bad drivers/crashes compilation on YouTube... If you sat watching those all day you'd be convinced you'd never make it to work on Monday!

That's why I wear barrier cream.

A lad with us blew his turbo and needed towing in. They charged him €2000.

I'd say something around the region of £300. It's literally for eBay and nothing more.

Too expensive... He's too old to benefit from spending large amounts.

Are those the rubberised keyboards I've seen, or can you get proper plug-in keyboards?

Evening! My dad is 74 and wants to start selling on eBay, but as you can imagine he struggles with technology. He currently has a cheap notebook/laptop thing but he wants something that takes pictures, and I also think he'd find a tablet with apps easier to use than something like Windows. An...

I was under the assumption that the original T1-R's from back in the day were made in another factor in a different country to where they're made now, and the current tyres are inferior. Not saying that they were ever that good.

I think T1-R's are the worst I've had, and there are people on here still waxing lyrical about them. I even had a mate running them on his caged-up track toy.

I guess I'm just trolling a little, but to me something like a Toyo T1-R is a crap budget tyre. Having said that they're fine for spirited road driving. My sarcasm was aimed at folk who feel like they need Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's to drive at 60mph through the Welsh valleys. I think driving...

After four CS road trips to the EVO Triangle it would appear that most people stay well within their tyres limits... I could've been in an Ignis with T1-R's and kept up easily. Oh wait...

Well after 20 years of driving I've never had to stamp on the brakes, not to a point where cheap tyres would've caused me to crash. Maybe I've just never experienced really s**t tyres.

IMO unless you're doing trackdays on budget tyres you're never really going to 'test' their capabilities unless you're emergency braking into Tesco's every Sunday. And with that in mind, I did Oulton Park in the rain in my MX-5 on Nankang NS-20's with stock brakes and no ABS. I think the guys...

Nice motors! I'm another Clio/MX-5 crossover guy! Very jealous of your MX-5, I need one with one with more power! Edit - Your rear-view mirror is spoiling all the action lol.

Yes!

Yeah I think both Ford and Mazda both strangle the engine. It's easy to make mine faster but not cheap sadly.
