It is too expensive for the performance increase over what's been suggested above. If you want them for looks, then £700 might not be too much. As said, HCs, good pads, fluid and a fresh bleed, I've personally never needed any more than that.

I'm sure I've got these/this in my YT faves. Embarrassingly, after watching it I PMd Mr Hunter and offered some driving advice! That was a long time ago... Going to go balls out to try and get to one of your races this year Jay, massively impressed with your progress :approve:

I think you are more than likely, the only one. As above, no sounds, no warning, no way of verifying if it's just about to go. Good luck.

Well, he's not been on since 2100 on 06/02...doubtful he'll be back. Hope he is though, would love to see this thing.

A slicker OS that I don't need and a lit keyboard that adds nothing; is that really it? I'm more than glad I went for what I have if that's the case.

I had this dilemma last year after changing my job and having to give my old work laptop back. Primarily needed for surfing and video editing. Found a decent enough laptop for £399 with strong processor and overspecced ram and hdd. Since then it's been flawless and renders my video projects...

Yep, the standard Goodwood circuit. I won't be taking Iggy though...it's a very fast circuit (I get well into 5th twice per lap in the Cup) so the Ignis would really struggle and probably spend about 95% of the time at full throttle. I'm looking for a Brands Indy day mid summer to take the...

I bought the 5-day group buy with Easytrack, only got two dates at Goodwood in the diary so far. My mate's having one of the days and bringing his 200 Cup along...free day for him and I get to beast his car all day :D Apart from that nothing planned. Make sure you PM me if/when you do book...

Really? That's great news as both bleed nipples on mine are seized solid. Best get hunting...

Can't wait to see a RR graph. A 1.5 dCi knocking out 221 bhp is making 147 bhp per litre. Bear in mind that a Focus RS with the MP 350 upgrade is only putting out 140 bhp per litre, so to get 147 from a Renault diesel it must be quite special.

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession Sand them well...I learned this the hard way at Goodwood. Freshly painted wheels including where the bolts seat, a few sessions/heat cycles and no re-torqueing of the wheel bolts meant I had to limp back to the pits with a very loose wheel. Was...

I thought that then took it out on track, didn't miss a beat. Maybe a fresh fluid flush/bleed but apart from that I think they're up to the job as they are.

Nice. The love for these wee things is growing by the day. They'll be appreciating before long LOL.

Don't get me wrong, mine is hard, but only when you load it up. At the beginning of the spring's travel (the progressive bit I guess) it seems to have a lot of give, so the primary ride, running over manhole covers, rough surfaces etc. is nice and smooth. Out on track in April so will see...

Well I'm making progress - got my first positive k/d last night LOL Missing the double-XP though.

As above, do pads up front and a fluid bleed/flush. Can't stress too much about leaving the rear brakes alone though. They do nothing, so any money spent makes brakes that do nothing do it better.

Sportline's are definitely progressive. Mine's all velvety over rough roads compared to standard. I'd say Sportlines work better on the Cup, as with less weight to support, the Prolines would put it up on stilts.

Yup. They've got to be in the process of a flag capture on Domination for it to count.

Nice work. I think my point has been missed though...I accept that there'll be a reduction in rotational inertia, and that the car could therefore build a wheel's rotational speed faster if it weighed less, but the mass of the car that the engine has to accelerate will only ever be reduced by...

No. There is not less weight to accelerate and deccelerate, there's less mass for the springs/dampers to have to deal with, which means the suspension can cope with what the road throws at it more efficiently. I myself binned the 16s years ago. I understand that there's minor differences in...

Yup. It's the only way I can fit the Ignis on the drive behind - I park both by 'touch'. The missus hates it LOL.

Really? Here's mine before the change on standard springs...

Have you found your brakes lacking as they are?

Mark, somewhere between Worthing and Bognor... My daily hack... My toy...

Didn't EVO magazine send the one they had as a long-termer back to Toyota shortly after it arrived? IIRC no one wanted to drive it, ever, so they told Toyota to come pick it up. Seems it misses the mark by quite a margin in a lot of areas.

My rear disks have been rusty for pretty much the last 125k miles. Car goes and stops just fine so not really bothered. Sounds to me that it's just low efficiency at play...although it might be a sticking caliper piston.

Try HIC - they love my modded Cup. Say you're in a car club, say you go to car shows, say you subscribe to car magazines, and along with the limited mileage it should mark you out as an enthusiast and therefore less likely to stack it.

Ooooh...very nice noise.

Mine sits a bit high as it's been stripped but here you go...

I just roll the front wheel onto a piece of 2x4 wood, jack then goes under, done.
