High miles on the F4R shouldn't be a issue if serviced properly. My 172 is now on 152k and the engine is still very strong, and doesn't drink a drop of oil between oil changes.

The PMS shifter is a good bit of kit.

I quite fancy one of these along side my 172 next.

Looks great!

I thought that would be the answer guys ;)

Well it turns out my gearbox is fubar'd :( Just need to decide weather or not to just whack in a replacement box for the time being, or add a Quaife LSD.

Trophy looks great on track!

IIRC the new RS tuners support a launch control map.

Depends on what the car is mainly used for, and your budget.

If you want a standard look ( stealth) not to loud I would go for a BTB stealth.

Tim took me out for a long passenger ride in this today, it's quick! :grinning:

Knowsit Mark ;)

I use my hands to remove the Clio oil filter.

Apart from the rattle I can't see why you couldn't run one on a 'road car'. I love mine.

Not my cuppa.

Yes I am running the CL RC6 pads atm mate, IIRC they are around £160 from Kam racing. If my car was running I would let you have a go in my 172 so you could test them out.

The CL RC6 pads are excellent from cold Rob.

Shame about the engine, car looks great!

Ouch :(

I disagree with a lot of the comments saying stripping doesn't make a difference, it does! My 172 is quite a bit quicker now it's stripped out, very noticeable when you drive mine and a standard 172 back to back, and I still have quite a bit more to do regarding weight loss, Fiberglass doors...

I am currently doing around 7k PA, so I think a Quaife would suit my needs better TBH.

Mine is now on 152k the engine is still very strong, still makes book power, and doesn't drink a drop of oil between oil changes. It has been looked after well in my 10.5 years of ownership though.

Parada spec 2's are rubbish IMO. I run R888 on track atm, but will probably try a set of Dunlop dirrezas next.

Sounds good!

Well I had a proper look at the car yesterday evening, and think the gearbox is on its last legs 😧 I will upload a video of the noise it's making later. It does sound similar to this though. ..Looks like I'll be getting a Quiafe LSD quicker than I had planned :wink:

I've seen them before, very talented guy.

I had a good look around that yellow Megane when I was last at the 'Ring, impressive spec and goes well.

Shame you couldn't make it mate. Thanks for the offer of help Paul, hopefully see you at the next SC meet :) The PMS one is a nice bit of kit and very light, I just got fed up with needing to adjust it often. If my car was just a trackday toy then I probably would have kept the PMS lightweight...

Good to meet/ chat to you too mate. Long day for you then Fraser! Shame about your driveshaft, I would have liked a pass lap in your car to finally hear what the PMS exhaust system sounds like driven in anger. :)
