So it wasn't the pads that were letting you down, you were failing to get any pressure onto them from the spongy fluid. Do this then you can really determine how pads feel/behave, if your fluid's sh*te it doesn't really matter what pad you run as you can never press them against the disc hard...

Cheap ones can do the job just fine. I bought mine on eBay 4 years ago for £55 delivered, came in a sturdy case with 2 batteries and is more than capable. I always start and finish by hand though.

Shiny. Sits well.

Only had it out once since the Ignis landed, and that was only to see if I could clear the rust from the back discs. Spends most of its time hiding behing Iggy now and being walked over and slept on by my cat.

I was coming to the end of the airstrip, needed to pick my braking point.

Igins Sports rock, fact. Nothing else for the money/running costs comes close. j9wMrEjA8QE

Look at it as a blessing, leave it as it is, remove everything power-steering related you don't need, get stronger arms, gain 10 bhp. That's what I did.

Nice one, I'm getting one ASAP.

I like that splitter...which model Skoda is it from? Do you have a part number? Thanks.

Nice Oms. High ride heights are good :approve: plenty of comfort and pronounced weight transfer just when you need it. It goes OK?

Nice update Jay. I'm insanely jealous!

LOL - harsh...but true. It does look like it needs a 'special' driver I'll admit...tall, boxy, Suzuki badge, agree they do look a bit hideous. But as Hazza (and you) say, it's all about the drive...and in that area they are 100% faultless, as good as any standard Renaultsport car in my...

LOL, looks good. How do you find the K&N - flat spots? Noisy?

I use bog standard stuff you get from the parts counter at a Peugeot dealer with braided lines...hasn't let me down yet.

I got sand-blasted by that walking into the pub...hurt like f***. Good to see everyone, even the old-timers. :rasp:

I bought my 172 Cup new in December 03, put 120k on it in 5 years with countless trackdays and sprints, and now it's retired and just gets a loving stroke and/or a beasting/trackday every now and then. All on standard suspension but with some minor brake mods and basic weight reduction. 40mpg...

I'm stunned by the fact that anyone would pay £35k (or even £28k) for a mid-sized 3-door family hatchback, regardless of what it is.

"tasteful" ROFLMFAO

I can't comment on any EBC pads as I've never run them, but I now have a set of DS2500s installed. I originally tried them a few years back and thought they were s***, wilting without too much provacation on track. Then I gave PF97, Pagid Blue, and most recently Carbone Lorraine pads a go all...

Nope, wasn't me, nowhere near Storrington last Friday. Can't really drive mine at the moment without a sunstrip anyway...picking a nice bright yellow one up for fitment next week though LOL

Aye, just like that.

I live in Middleton (over by Bognor) but work in East Worthing so am often out and about. Only ever in the Cup on Fridays or the weekend though - black Ignis Sport the rest of the time.

LOL Kev you think like me. I always thought a 172 Cup with a DCi 100 in it would make just about the most perfect commuting car ever. Would have done something like that if I could be arsed, but I couldn't hence the Iggy.

This I don't get. "It'll be worth £x less when you come to sell it." Yes of course it will...but you paid less for it to start with... On a 172 Cup a/c was a £650 option. Put two identical Cups side by side now, one with, one without, is the one with really going to sell for £650 more?

Sounds like a complete imbalance of grip front/rear to me. Having the Hankooks on the front probably flattered them a little as they had 700 kgs pressing them down. Now they're on the back they've got just over half that. Factor in PE2s being phenomenal no matter where you put them - gripped...

Indeed...but it helps the pub-bragging-rights if you can say your car does 0-100 in x seconds aided by one less gear-change...reality of course is it's just the same speed regardless of where/when you shift.

Not even possible with a higher limiter...mine limits at 7,750 and that's enough to see an indicated 96 or a real 93 mph. If you could set the limiter at 8,333 and get the engine so it has torque and power at that rpm then you could do it...just.

...and if you can deal with them clanking and rattling in the calipers and also if you're happy for everyone to block their ears every time you brake...they squeal like a stuck pig.
