Ha ha, brilliant! Will watch it fully tonight :approve:

Ouch. Any tips to stop her from doing it again? Apart from not letting her drive at all, ever?

What's a ball park figure to put this right? Trying to decide if worth claiming on insurance. Only seems to be cosmetic to the outer 'skin' as far as I can tell. Is it an easy fix?

I had a flat wheel originally with a spacer to bring it closer. Then I thought better of it, lost the spacer and bought a deep dished wheel instead. Doing it that way means the hard thing you don't want to be hitting with your head is another 50-60mm further back.

I'm sure some will say NO! but personally, I would. I'm currently running some pads that came inside a used set of calipers I bought ages ago and have had no problem whatsoever.

It does exist. I have a Mondial Blue touch-up kit at home, it's never been used. Sorry but that's how it's going to stay!

This is the speed-limiter override switch. You limit speed to 30mph, pull onto a 60mph speed limit and think "Oh f***!". Put your foot down hard and it cancels the speed limiter. You're still getting full WOT before the switch is pressed AFAIK.

Ooh, ouch, nasty.

LOL at 225 section tyres on the rear, with no more rubber in contact with the road than you'd get from a skinny 155 tyre. Style innit.

Your 5th RS Clio? What do you do, eat them?

Ooh, someone got their P45 after that I bet!

Nice pics. Ouch for the M3...think he was trying a bit too hard behind the MX-5s, missed his apex, got on the power too early. Massive Ouch.

LOL, I know, I know. At least it gives them all somewhere to hangout while comparing their respective awesomeness and laughing pitifully at normal non-Mac owning imbeciles.

That's a good point. I thought Macs rinsed just about everything else at everything...don't they?

LOL at asking for opinions...then people getting upset when someone gives them exactly that...an opinion! You'll get used to Ali, he's an acquired taste...

Re: Dave.'s Trumpeted Engine Spec, Cammed Up Gunit, 2118'd Carbon obsession This thread has now achieved 'legendary' status. Doing the same job, I'd probably do exactly the same myself though.

I've had Police attention twice in all the time I've had my Clio. 1st time I got the matrix board in the rear window of an unmarked estate flash up 'SLOW DOWN' as I was making progress along a DC behind him...so I promptly backed off. Second time was blue lights after I gave it almost full...

Re: Jon's MK1 172 project thread Nice one Mr R. Once this is running a session on track is needed :evil:

LOL Ignis's are for drivers that don't give a flying f*** what other people think.

WTF?

Mine made it to 7 years and 125k miles before it started to make noises. Oil has been changed every 6k miles from new without fail. It's very extremely worth it.

In 125k miles from new, my Cup has worn brand spanking off the shelf new tyres only twice. Those it was fitted with at the factory, and it's first set of replacements. Since then, all of the road and track tyres I've used/tried have been second hand, and 95% have been bought from members on...

Can you get an analogue keyboard for a PC? Does such a thing exist?

It's not that bad...I'm a runt of a bloke and I can cope! As others have said though, if it were for a race I'd probably think again, but for road driving, or a 15 min session on track it is manageable.

Not really...mine's now done 125k miles and between oil changes (I do mine every 6k) it doesn't consume any, despite it living a fair chunk of its life on track. Best you just keep an eye on it.

If oil is on the minimum level it needs more. Top it up and see if that cures it. Remember, the oil light means low oil pressure, not low oil level, so everytime you see it, cross your fingers.

What about movement using a keyboard? Are you just running or stationary? How do you get the analog effect of just nudging a joystick very slightly forwards to crawl/walk silently instead of running?

There's far more than just a few bhp on offer from removing the power steering...here's mine, before and after power curve... As said above, is quite a challenge when parking. Had to run my Cup as a daily for two weeks recently, harness and bucket seat were more of a pain in the a*se than...

Ooh, get you becoming all grown up ;)

Cambelts are good for 5yrs or 72k. As your was done at 24k no need to do it for another 20k. Save the money and treat it to a trackday. It'll thank you for it and you won't stop smiling.
