Cheers Jay, means alot that race drivers give comments like that :) I managed to blag a free instructor session too as they cancelled my original trackday but he said i was doing quite well already but really helped tidy up and even teach me some new and useful lines. Just wish I'd have got my...
Had a great day yesterday and I've got to say this thing was flying round, I didn't realise how much quicker it would be than mine (not a balls out track/race car but it doesn't hang around haha) but christ is it lol, it was flying past me! The sound is immense too...oh and I feature in a couple...
Bugger lol!
Should have thought of it earlier really bUt it was only last week after a mates experience with them I decided on them.
I'll be at Brands on the 12th so I can always speak to you both about it then if you've got time and hope you've worn some out on the day lol :p
As above really, ideally after Yoko A048's but I've come to the point where if they're cheap and still a good tyre then I might give them a go. I've looked on eBay and places like that but the money people want for some is ridiculous for tyres that are below the wear markers and illegal for...
I love this! It looks awesome and tbh I strangely like the spoiler although a trophy one would look good too ;)
Good power already too and some good engine mods

Are you on track on the 12th or just coming down to watch? I'm on track then :race:
Facebook page looks good too btw mate :)

I can imagine, hopefully I'll hear it at a track at some point this year. I heard Mark's (Iceman UK) last weekend at Brands and that sounded awesome too!
Thats alright then, not going crazy haha ;) I do...

Looks great mate! Honestly every time I see some more pictures of this I fall in love with it even more! The sound quality might not be all that but my god does that engine sound awesome through the rest of...
Lol, I'll make sure to pop by your garage at some point during the day and stick my head in if you dont seem to busy or if im not too busy bombing it round haha :)
More camber = better handling = reduced tyre wear
If you're using it daily and not for anything more, then return it to standard settings. If you take it somewhere that does full laser wheel alignment they can adjust camber as well as adjusting your toe at the same time, that way you'll know...
Had a great day even though my trackday was cancelled and moved to 12th March as it was overbooked (don't quite know how they managed it but hey ho). There was a great bunch on track and the weather was excellent once the lines dried out a bit as the morning went on, but still being around with...
Just heard about your bump from a mate, can't imagine how you must feel but the amount of work gone into this (and your previous car for that matter) is amazing!
Absolutely gutted for you but hope you get it all fixed soon and hopefully see this at a track some time soon :) saw the Clio last...
I love the look of this and the plans sound great, didn't think too much of RB with black previously but with the 2118's and the other little details I think you've really pulled it off!
If I were you I'd leave the stripes off completely once removed tbh, a mate of mine removed them on his...
Absolutely love this project, the attention to detail and thought that goes into these kind of builds is staggering and yours is nothing short of that!
Just seen that you're gonna be at Brands on Sunday so I'll see you there, would love to have a look at this thing in person :)
Looks great Vicky and great power/torque too, no longer a challenger for mine though lol :dapprove:
Just out of curiosity, where are you getting your camber sorted as thinking of getting camber bolts for mine and want to get it all properly aligned as it's pretty crap atm tbh lol!
I had a full set of these on my turbines when I got them. One thing I can say is they are awful, they are pretty shocking in the wet and just as bad in the dry, no grip what so ever and I'd especially hate to be using them with the current weather in this country, they are rock solid and spin up...
That's sound like a pretty good deal tbh mate, I've got a set of turbines on my 182 in the original finish and they look quality even if I do say so myself :o
Not bad at all for a little old Clio lol!
Seriously have got a soft spot for ph1 172's :approve: wouldn't mind one as a track car and keep the 182 as a pure road car!

Haha cheers, may have to take you up on that one day. I'm doing brands on 19th Feb full day if you're interested, I know you mentioned you wanted to get out on track more and not far from you either :)
