As I said, you will not find any more knowledgable and happy to help specialists in the area than 519!

According to Google, Ipswich to 519 Automotive is 77 miles, so about 90 mins driving. Job done I'd say! You will not find any other specialists in this part of the country who are more knowledgable and happy to help than Dan!

Simple thing then is to post up a copy of the agreement between yourselves and JP, and this discussion ends (or just the relevant statements in the agreement with the other bits blanked out, plus the final page showing the signatures of the two companies' representatives). I don't understand...

I'm interested, as I'm sure others are, as to how you define your product. By saying that, you're implying you owned the complete rights to those exhausts, and one would have assumed that you had a production agreement with JP exhausts so that they could produce these only for you (let's be...

Mondial blue 172 I think you'll find. :rasp:

For the purposes of comparing before and after brake temps. what you've done is fine, but have you confirmed that the emissivity of the IR thermometer is correct for your brake discs? If not, then the actual temperature reading you're getting could be way out (but at least will be consistently...

A few more pictures of the new Silverstone (not up to the same standard as the OP's, but they may be of interest). My view during the morning warm-up. View of the back of the new paddock complex. Very nice facilities (even if the builders and electricians were still completing it on...

What are you using a CAN to Serial adaptor for? If the Dash 2 supports CAN, just use a straight CAN connection between the EC1 and the dash. It gives you far more scope for expandability in the future, and less wiring.

Why not just buy a dash with CAN on it and use CAN between the ECU and dash? Much easier to configure and far better for expandability in the future.

There was no way he was ever going to make that jump with the approach he took. He spent something like 5 - 10 minutes trying to get the approach sorted (I was watching from the staging area), but because he was running around the arena in a clockwise direction, he could not get the car...

The 172 has a CAN bus on it (125kbaud, 2.0A), but good luck with finding the CAN database! Renault won't have made this information publicly available, and the only people who will know this information (definitely K-Tec and probably TDF) will have figured it out by reverse engineering the...

Not quite Suffolk, and not a specific Renault specialist, but http://www.jmsmotorsport.co.uk/ is worth a look. Very knowledgeable guy who has owned a lot of Renault sports in the past. Failing that, Cit-ren are worth a look.

Have you tried Treadfirst in Diss? They fitted my K-Tec Stealth a couple of years ago without any problems and it's been fine since. A good bunch of guys in there so maybe worth a try? Alternatively try Cit-Ren, who seem to be fairly well thought of? Both are a lot closer than K-Tec.

Went to the Lotus Festival that took place at Snetterton today. Thankfully the weather remained dry, and the crowd was one of the biggest I've seen at Snetterton (as big as for the BTCC). The only reason I went was to see the collection of classic Lotus Formula 1 cars (hence no photos of...

Not really. There's some useful information on there, but also a lot of rubbish. As for max pressure - 10%, it appears the author seems to have forgotten something. They quote "Every tyre has a maximum inflation pressure stamped on the side somewhere. This is the maximum pressure the tyre...

For what car?

Busy busy at the moment. Will try to make the Feb meet! Only good thing I remember about them was that the bird on reception was very nice! :approve: Shame they were pretty incompetent at anything mechanical! Would definitely recommend JMS in Thetford.

Was far from impressed when I used SCA a while ago. Had my alignment done recently by JMS Tyres in Thetford (http://www.jmstyres.co.uk/) and would definitely recommend them! Bit closer for you as well I think. Also, the guy at JMS has had quite a few Renault Sports so knows them quite well.

New set of original Renault dampers - £216.20 (from K-Tec), and enough money left in your pocket for a couple of trackdays? If you believe that you're a better driver than the RenaultSport engineers who set up the car, and have extracted everything possible from the car on its standard...

InfraRed temperature sensors mounted in each wheel, which measure the tyre carcass temperature from the inside and transmit the data wirelessly back to receivers on the car. The Cup serves well as a test car for new technology! :approve:

No. Explanation below. This is hugely dependant on the car and what it is doing. High speeds do not create significant heat inside the tyre chamber; this is done from braking and heat soak from the brakes into the rim, which in turn heats the air in the cavity. Chances are that you'll actually...

The spy scandal in F1 a couple of years ago revealed that certain cars were running some fairly exotic gasses in their wheels. The F1 guys can also run two valves on their rims to allow them to purge the tyres. Whether this is allowed next year (it was supposed to be outlawed) remains to be seen.

1. Goodyear Eagle F1's GSD3. Very good all-round road tyre, ran them on my Cup for ages and more than happy. 2. Vredestein Sportrac 3. Been getting good reviews and I know a few people who have run them and been happy with them. 3. TOYO T1R . Don't rate them at all.

Yes, they've done work on my Cup, plus all of my family's cars. Top guys, who not only know their stuff, but are very friendly. If they're good enough to be entrusted with this http://www.classicandperformancecar.com/features/octane_features/233622/lamborghini_miura_jota.html i'm more than...

The Car Works in Ashwellthorpe. 01508 488364. Top bunch of guys and cannot recommend them highly enough!

10 days before the Nürburgring 24 hour race I was invited to attend the race, supporting one of my customers who was competing. Having never been to a race at the Nürburgring before (I’ve tested there a few times) I thought it was too good an opportunity to miss. Armed with my plane ticket...
