Not even a mention of spec either, how do these traders survive with piss poor advertising like this...

Is the car road, track or both?

I've got 2 novatek a118s with no issues, had them for 2 years now and purchased from a UK seller for £50 each.

OSR or NSR?

If its a duff sensor then you would usually see the SERV, ABS, HANDBRAKE, STOP light on when the ignition is on and then will stay on once started? Also what wheel sensor are you talking about as its a minefield with incorrect sensors out there?

Euro car parts AMAX springs if on a budget, they are just re-branded APEX which are decent on track as they're the stiffest lowering springs and linear In design. They ain't to bad on the road either contrary to what some people say. I run them and I'm totally happy with them on track and road...

Just get yourself a cheap arse set of 15" wheels and some part worn proper track tyres from Ebay and then just average tyres for the 16" which are good in the wet, so they can be used on wet track days. This would be cheaper than paying £400-500 for decent track/road tyres on the 16"s.

They should be fine width wise mate, my 6j rims fit 205/50/15 easily. How low is your car as the side walls would be a few mm taller at 58mm so may rub if really low, have a look at this below for reference... http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible_pg4.html

What width rims? these will fit 6J upwards...

235/40/18?

I get all mine part worn from ebay, some real bargains to be had! Got the above R888s last time with 4mm tread (5mm new) for £80...

EBay mate, you can get a decent set for £200-300 with 80% tread left. Look for sizes 19/57/15 similar to 195/50/15 or 200/58/15 similar to 205/50/15...

They'll be done after Oulton on Friday though...

No mate, gone over to a mix of Kumho V70a and R888s but not fitted the V70a's yet as my current R888s won't die, 4 track days later...

Curious on this and looked it up, both 100 TW. Could have sworn they had a lower TW rating. I've got Kumho V70a hard compound to use with a 50 TW rating.

The Treadwear is lower (softer compound) think they could be 50 on the 888r's v 100 on the 888's...

Not tried either but heard good things about both, I personally would go with the Toyos but I'm a triple 8 fan boy! http://www.cliosport.net/threads/nankang-ar-1-well-worth-it.799619/

Yeah thought this would be an issue, got grooved/dimpled discs and removed my fogs but will need proper ducts eventually.

No mate the 17th. How's the noggin, you still feeling like a space cadet?

Honesty James ridiculous, the car scared me for the first time yesterday in the damp on cold RS3s as I just couldn't get any heat into the tyres as it was just locking up all over the place.

I'm guessing these will end up at the carcass with the stopping power of the RC8s I've fitted. Can't wait to try them coupled to hot track tyres, as they're bloody dangerous on cold road tyres.

Too many variables really, driving style, weather, track temp etc... This will be my 4th on these 2 x Oulton open pit/2 x Aintree 6 x 10 minute sessions.

Got a set of Oz F1s with rainsports on for travelling.

All 195s

Got a sessioned day at Oulton (6 x 20min) Friday and don't want to run out of grip. I'm thinking they should do if I shuffle them about during the day?

He states he needs new shocks, and is considering coilovers so by that he's stating front and rear!

Presume you have a 182 with cup suspension... Fronts...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Pair-of-Renault-Clio-182-Cup-2x-Front-Shock-Absorbers-8200681109-/281731218920?hash=item41987d3de8:g:9JgAAOSw9N1ViouD...

Bilsteins get good reviews for road and occasional track days, or maybe fresh OE dampers and Cooksports. Rear pads just get any as they don't do anything on the 1*2 anyway, I just use Bosch from ECP at £15 with discount, discs I use OE Renault on the rear, MTEC or Brembo HC on the front
