    New shoes

    Looks lovely. Although agreed with cleaning comments...I can't wait to refurb mine silver! But in all seriousness they're not that hard to keep clean, I'm just lazy!

    yozza with cat?

    I've only heard a decatted one from outside the car but it was a bit raspier and obviously quite a bit louder, but I think the general sound is still the same. You can definitely tell it's a Yozza!

    yozza with cat?

    Doesn't drone at 70 on cruise control. In fact it's silent. But everywhere else on the rev band it's pretty loud! Although with the windows up and keeping the revs relatively low it won't give you a headache, you just know it's there!

    oppinions on yozza vs miltek?

    My Yozza cat back at 70 is silent. Used to drive from Leeds to London with it and it was fine, I hate drone but it was silent. At 60 it droned a bit mind. The noise when flat out is so awesome though it wins hands down for me

    Stripes on 182 BG?

    A set of white/silver Turinis would be effective!

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Driven it, parked it and then got pissed off with the fact all 10 miles I have done today have resulted in my spotless white wheels having dirty water splashes all over them

    Is buying a 172 Cup the right thing?

    F1 cars don't have ABS. Or have I misread this?! EDIT: assume you're talking about in the early 90s ABS on brand new cars is probably brilliant but on the 182 I've found it to cut in a tiny bit early, same with the TC. Shouldn't be an issue on the 172 in 99% of braking situations unless you...

    What will £3k get me in the Clio game these days?

    I got my RB last year for £3.5k with belts done and it's immaculate and was totally original. And from a dealer too. Only downside was it had done 80k miles (which didn't bother me) and the original exhaust was blowing but I wanted to change that anyway. Just gotta find them!

    Matt's "Ribblehead to Buttertubs Epic drive 2012" Photos.

    Such nice cars and such an awesome looking piece of tarmac. I never fully took advantage of spending 3 years of Uni in Leeds. This is definitely a road I plan to visit next time I'm up in Yorkshire. Living in London's so crap when you want to go for a drive

    Sam's RB 182 FF

    Bored at Uni during exam revision end of May I decided to take the 182 out for a spin, thought I'd record a video to show how the cat back JP/Yozza is sounding! Z-4rHMbk28s

    A Race Day With BURPSPEED.COM - short film

    Awesome video, found myself thinking I'd watch 30 seconds and watched the whole thing. Looks like a lot of fun, less swearing and changing masses of set up compared with my old karting days! Looks like something I'd love to do in the future.

    Mini Festival 2012

    Went to the Mini Festival today to support a friend racing in the Mini Challenge in the Club class. Weather was really nice and seeing so many classic and brand new Minis was pretty cool. The JCW race cars looked awesome and the classic Cooper S' were amazingly quick for 1275cc engines! I took...

    Typical 172 behaviour with added "spice"

    That's funny, those Astras drove past me at speed on the M1 yesterday. I was heading from London to Leeds so must have been around Nottingham when they passed, they were flying along together. Could obviously be other Astras but the cars were identical to these and driving in a similar way! I...

    Silverstone Race Report

    Looks great fun. And clean! Everytime you guys show a your nose for a move you leave room which is good to see! Last lap didn't look fun ha

    Silverstone Race Report

    Congrats on the result! Hope you get the car sorted easily before the next round! Does the 30second penalty mean you have 30 seconds added to your race time?

    Rob Austin Drives Surtee's TS19 around Monaco

    Amazing. Videos like this make me want to pursue a career with money and long hours, but that will enable me to enter the Historic race with something in the future! My old karting mate Ben Barker won the historic F3 class that day. Jealous to say the least!

    Very NOT ####ING happy !!!

    I managed to source a set of 2nd hand low mileage cup springs online when one of my springs broke. £40 for the set!

    Loving my new car

    Had mine a year, still love it. I only get bored of it when I don't drive it; as soon as I jump back in it I like it again. Track days make me love it!

    hi :) getting a 2.0 clio in october

    If you mean in terms of having a few extra comforts such as climate control, half pleather interior and the brighter xenon bulbs then I'd say it's worth going for the full fat

    Polished 172 Cup - Now with Custom Eibachs, BTB & 3/4 plate

    cheap shell v power

    The Shell in Kirkstall Leeds has a similar deal. Tempted to fill up despite having half a tank!

    french pressed plates

    You can get legal pressed plates. I had them on my old Punto, they even had the postcode marking and were reflective. I think clean plastic plates suit the Clio more though tbh

    Lincolnshire girl, heyy :)

    Is that PFI I see in your 1st kart pic! I used to race TKMs in Super 1, budget became ridiculous so had to stop. So similar story! But did some races in Club100 karts in the BUKC this year. Car looks nice, Clios seem to be the car of choice for a lot of karters I've noticed! Nice wheelie in...

    Ultra Red 200.

    Perfect! The colour is my fave for the 200s, I don't think I'd change a thing!

    My 172 cup.

    Did you just lower the back? I assumed you had weight in the boot!

    Anyone seen these shocks before?

    I have exactly the same rear dampers, looks like I'll be changing to OEM 182 cup ones then as I assumed these LIP ones were cheap!

    People thought on my plans

    Have you ever raced at Kimbolten? I used to race TKMs and loved watching the gearbox karts fly down the main straight into that awesome braking point!

    182 Dyno Results

    Wow would the plugs make that much difference? I need to change mine then as I've been running Boschs and assumed it wouldn't make that much difference!

    I require 182 exhaustings advice

    My JP/Yozza with a cat isn't loud when hot. When cold yes it's pretty loud! But when it's hot it's silent on tick over from in the car, and only really loud when giving it the beans. EDIT: should have read the full page I see you've bought a Ultra performance. I nearly got one of them. They...
