Yup. Federals - cheap nasty sh*te. Michelin Exaltos - one of the best you can get Your car is so out of balance grip wise because of this that whenever it's wet you're at risk of this happening. get the Federals binned, or replace the Michelins with some for some all round slip-slidy fun.

Is this the first properly f***ed about with Trophy? I'm envious of the plans, will watch with interest.

I like this one...the VW b****cks advert... Ow0a06gsiF4

I'm pretty crap at most tbh but normally have a punt on normal.

Oddly I quite like that.

Roof black? :cool: Needs Cup spoiler though, you'll regret it once everyone comes around if you don't.

We got a letter at work today from HMRC advising 17.5% VAT from January 2010.

2nd car. I've got a 1.6 Focus that has done 115k miles, feels like it's easily got another 115k miles still to go, is worth £1,500 or maybe £1,700 tops, costs pennies to run, and driving sanely or otherwise it gives as many smiles per mile as my Cup. Jeans/t-shirt for me so I get the choice...

I'd love to take one on a RS trackday, huge fun. Almost worth buying one.

Enjoy :approve: Get that airbox feed hooked up though. Without it they're all over the place for the last few thousand rpm.

Nice plate, car looks stunning. Just needs a Cup spoiler to finish it off...

Weight affects acceleration...not top speed...i.e. how long it takes to reach top speed, but not ultimately the top speed itself. Technically you would/could have been going faster with the weight than without it, as it would reduce the frontal drag area by lowering the car.

I remember the Roy/Jeremy/decal/badge threads...you're feeling the Cup love now LOL

BIN

I am so disappointed in the total lack of any RB love in here...

If it was for road only the only thing I'd do is the lines - standard brakes are more than capable, but the lines would improve the pedal feel. Save yourself some money, changes the lines, give it a flush/bleed with some decent fluid and stick with standard pads/discs.

:rasp:

This has been done to death and put to bed. 172 Cups win everything, the end. Fact.

Got my Focus day-to-day so used to some comfort. It won't stay too standard for long though. Just going to wait for them to start filtering through used. Once there's enough choice I'm having one. Trouble is I think I'll have difficulty finding one specced without Recaros or aircon and with...

Nice. I can see why people prefer those wheels. Doesn't look right without any spoiler though.

Looks nice and tidy.

That's no longer just an idea :approve:

Hi Ollie I'm from Middleton-on-Sea - get some pictures up and I'll keep an eye out.

:cool:

Definitely they are. My mate was bitching about the crap driving position until I showed him the lever. "RTFM!" "What?"

I've never smelled anything from mine in over 100k miles :S

If you watch this shameless ASW video loud and through headphones you can hear the V6 airbox as I floor mine towards the camera a few times (best is at 1:50), I think it sounds mint. Along with removing the power steering, fitting this improved my RR figures at Surrey RR by 10bhp...so about...

LOL - the always reliable Mr Lee :approve:

You are so so wrong! How does that work then? Brakes aren't safe for slowing cars down? Agreed you shouldn't stand on them at 70mph...squeeze on and ease off is what you should be doing... You should not use the gears when slowing a car - 99.9% of the motoring populous have no idea what...
