Welcome Jack Let me know when you fancy the Ring, as I do too next year. Would bring the wife as co-pilot too, altho we r old enuff to be your parents . LOLOL.

Will hopefully go in my Clio, so let me know which novice sesh and I will join you :-)#And you will need entry ticket, stand pass and track time booked. My hint would be a bit later in the day so the track warms up and you get more time to sort the safety briefing and any noise testing etc etc

Wow.. really? Never.....

Rears more of a concern (ooops, double)

Rears more of a concern

Fair enough. I trust you fellow Clio Bredren. But they are well gooey and bits missing, but if you say its good I'ma happy now

thinking maybe mine weren't warmed up enough

I did have a lot of fun, but no more than anyone else, so are all tyres the same? think I should stop every 15mins from now on. will they wear a bit better without track use, hopefully theyre not fooked. One thing, I didn't have a slip that I can recall the whole time. they performed well but...

I will have another look, but the front tyres has tiny flaps where the rubber has eroded it looks, and the rear tyres the inner tread is very spongy and feels almost "not set". maybe lots heat has melted it. But I will try and pick it off to see whether it is the tyre coming away, or added...

Not sure about the geometry? Is that a £40 laser test at the local tyre place? And as for pressures, they were a bit weird on the day, then I found out my gauge was knackerd, in fact both my foot pumps give false readings. I wasn't far off running 28 psi on the day, maybe went up to 30 psi when...

Well i went wrong there then. probably at least 20 mins, then 5 mins ish cool down Maybe thats why aftre 2 x 20 min seshs at Lydden they seemed fine

Above front tyre above front tyre different angle above rear tyre rear tyre close up both front tyres are the same, and both rears are the same theyre not as bad as i thought, but who knows how much more they will deteriorate Only paid £300 odd for them about 1500 miles ago. i was away...

This is the response i got from a Tuner friend of mine running the same tyres "Generally you'll see a lot of scrubbing and lots of little rubber marbles stuck to it, that's if your pushing them hard enough. There very soft almost sticky when red hot, but that's what we want for grip in the dry...

Am on 15 inch wheels. No. Lol. stopped every 20 mins ish, check pressures and look under bonnet. bonnet up, engine off, in gear, no handbrake etc etc Tyres might wear away the (worn) top surface after a few miles and be OK underneath. Looks like the rubber has turned to liqourice. Have...

Had a great Hour and 20 mins last Sunday on the track at the French Car show at Donnington (Was red flagged 10 mins before session end and i didnt bother waiting to see if there was a restart) I fitted AD08r's late March 2017, and pretty much been used as a road tyre since then, the plan is...

Let us know how you get on today Ryan :-) My sesh, enjoyed it thoroughly. but everyone overtaking me (Fair few turbos) makes me think i must sharpen up, or get a quicker car. 197 sounds nice :-)

Yep- just got back myself. One other very nice Phase 1 (Mark:-) and good talking to the admin guys n girls, and Sunglasses Ron of course:-) (Shame CS Dave couldnt make it) Young guys next to me in the silver Phase 2- credit to you for your first ever track day, and everyone else i spoke to was...

Jeees- i couldnt do that any more, too old, thats why i'm travelling up the night before and Travelodging :grinning:

Theres usually a piece of string seperating Clubs :tongueout: Anything like Castle Combe earlier this year, a bit of a mare getting onto the pitch. Think Donnington a bit more geared up for it tho

added one too many decals i think. :wine:

no cars on grass then :-) (If you know what i mean)

didnt know there was a" thing" between csoc and cliosport.net. In fact for the first few months i didnt even know anything bout csoc. Have met a few csocers at shows and they all seem pretty friendly. I am no facebooker, see it upset too many people at work, and break friendship with silly...

Due to lack of confirmed attendees, I will postpone this to another day that members can make Ive loaded the car to do a bootsale now, so deffo cant make it (Yippe 6.30 get up...)

Anyone confirming they are gonna come along? If we cant get to 4 turning up, then I wont go the Pease, will put off to some other time........

looks like a lot of weed down there ?

Fab looking cars, and bet the engine sounds and drives as mean as.... does the inside look like my phase 1 inside?

Any of you guys that expressed an interest in the Brighton meet gonna meet up at Pease Pottage next Saturday :-) say YO on the other thread

i was told (by the installer) that my cage with spreader plates underneath was designed not to require any welding. i did it for added safety

Any more for this- quite a few expressed an interest in the other thread?

does anyone work for halfords? In there the other day, about 6 of us in a queue with a fella talking war and Peace about his bicycle inner tube, and about 3 others walking around not taking a blind bit of notice of the queue. Waited about 5 minutes, put my item down and walked out.
