    Accelerating off throttle?

    Yeah could be mate. Its still on the original so maybe its starting to go. Good excuse for a k04 upgrade though.

    Track car Attempt 2

    The only way to learn the limit of the car is to go past it. Just unlucky with the tyre stack being there.

    Track car Attempt 2

    Looking good. Got a set of really nice light weight 16" Advan RG1 wheels that will look ace on this. Also got really nice 17" gram lights with tyres as well. PM me if interested.

    Accelerating off throttle?

    Yeah only seem to do it on boost. Its more noticeable in a higher gear when planting the throttle. Not as bad when lifting off right near the rev limiter.

    Accelerating off throttle?

    Got a strange issue with the VRS TFSI when lifting off the throttle it feels like the car is still accelerating (boosting) slightly. Not an issue in every day driving but when really pushing on into a corner its the last thing you want when lifting off the throttle. Tried contacting Shark...

    Haha rather you than me attempting this in a Clio, lol.

    Track car aerodynamics help

    Similar power to what my 182 was running but with AST's and other handling mods and there was still no way it was going through a corner at 100+ not with a noob like me driving anyway, lol.

    Track car aerodynamics help

    Pointless on a Clio as mentioned aero only really starts to work at 100+ and I cant think of a track in the UK where a standard engine Clio would be moving through a corner at 100+ for aero to work. If anything adding aero will make you slower as it just adds drag. Just an observation on your...

    What premium tyres with comfort in mind?

    Its definitely a bit weird as its not like the tyres are rolling over onto the sidewalls. When I received the 2's back from GY (They where well worse than these) instead of binning them I paid for 30 laps of 3 sisters to burn them up to which I only managed 10 before the tyres were totally...

    What premium tyres with comfort in mind?

    No mate just some b road blasts. Had exactly the same issue with the 2's on my 6MPS as well. Ended up putting in a claim with Goodyear as well who fobbed me off royally after me sending them back the tyres. They said no issues and if I wanted to take it further I'd have to pay for a independent...

    Budget for a track car

    As above take your budget and double it. Also ask yourself if it drops a valve or snaps the belt can you afford to have it fixed or afford to have it scrapped for that matter. I bought mine for £1500 and near 2 years later and 11 tracks days i was £6k deep and that didn't include the days and...

    Removal of rear beam

    As above even if you can get the beam bolts to move the tank is in the way. If it ain't broke...

    What premium tyres with comfort in mind?

    Bit late but just changed the Goodyear's to the front and they are much more comfortable without sacrificing to much performance. Once again though just like the 2's before them show them some really enthusiastic driving and they disintegrate on the outer shoulders. This was after 30 minutes...

    Just had my first track day at oulton!

    Its a tough one to go flat as you can only start braking once youve got most of that load off, by that time you're near the big dip and it locks easily coming into cascades leading to a late entry wasting the inside camber of the corner. I just lifted slightly to get a cleaner entry and fast...

    Fiesta RS Track Car

    Very cool.

    What premium tyres with comfort in mind?

    Got the F1 3's on the rear of the Skoda which I'm going to rotate today with the PS4's so i can let you know the difference later. I've had the F1 2's on the MPS i had and they were a comfortable good all round tyre so expect these the same.

    Just had my first track day at oulton!

    Probably lifted fully on entrance or went flat and wasn't on the right line. Seen a few do it.

    Just had my first track day at oulton!

    No mate the discs attach to the stub axel which could be bent. Could also be the rear beam. As mentioned get it aligined and take it from there to see what needs changing. You can use shims on the stub axel to reduce the camber back to normal.

    Nankang NS2R ditch finders on as well.

    What premium tyres with comfort in mind?

    Falken FK510 are cracking tyres at budget prices. Got them on my Mondeo ST and on my Missus Scenic and really rate them for the money. I'm like yourself hate a stiff sidewalled tyre for road use. Got Ps4's on the Skoda and they're to stiff for me on the road especially now they're near the...

    Just had my first track day at oulton!

    Discs wont change the camber. Any alloys which are 4x100 and a low offset around 40 give or take 5mm. Rim width should be between 6-7j for 195 tyres.

    Just had my first track day at oulton!

    Congratulations on your fitst day at Oulton. I still remember mine and just couldn't belive the elevation differences around the track. Felt like a roller coaster few the first few laps, lol. I too nealy spun at Lodge on my first day. You've just got to keep your foot in to bring it back out...

    Good buy mate. Still got the kit car as well?

    Track car Attempt 2

    And i thought i ploughed money into track cars, lol. Should be a good little roadster once all set up, albeit not the quickest on track but you'll still be having as much fun as the other cars out there. I'd defo look into the 2ZZ conversion once you've hit the limit of its performance as is...

    Cookie's 2009 Honda Civic Type R GT

    Was the main reason we got rid of our 1.8. Why Honda though the ride was acceptable is beyond me. I would have the FN2 type r in a heart beat if it didn't rattle your teeth out. The ep3 was fine as well, had that for over 5 years without complaint.

    Help Required Alloy Size

    Yes no problem. And with the low offset it will fill out the arches nicely.

    Raising xlow profile bucket frames

    Might just be easier to buy the OMP or Sparco standard height subframe and sell the xlow.

    Michelin PS3 vs Kumho Ecsta

    They're good on the road as well in the dry. Horrendous in the wet though.
