LOL, the sad truth, ^^^ right there.

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special Nice one. Give me a shout if you get bored of that suspension.

Nice. Looks like fun.

You had to pay :eek: ... that's an outrage. I didn't have to pay a single penny after a whole week of it being crawled over.

Remove 175 kgs of useless crap.

The video posted isn't a sequential gearbox though :S Or did you just mean the rev matching?

Woop.

You see his left leg work the clutch on every shift up and down. Very quick.

Now there's something I could have on my drive instead of my Cup. Nice.

Compared to what else was out when these were around these were easily up there. Those were the days.

Very very very skilled man.

Beast! I bet that likes to pick its front wheel up.

I don't think it's dangerous...there's no risk the calipers are suddenly going to come away from the mounts...they just move a little, and let you know that with the grumbling noise. I've been on track several times when they've been like that, they always perform exactly as they should...they...

I've had this and cured it each time with a new set of calipers (on my 3rd set now). I understand it to be the bushes that the caliper is mounted on wearing out a little, then when everything's up to temperature and you're really leaning on them...the caliper can move a little on them...sounds...

Ouch, I feel for you. Exactly the same happened to me in January - only they broke in during the day when they took my Cup. Luckily I got mine back undamaged the following day, but using Rentech, I got all locks/keys and control unit replaced for not a great deal more than my insurance...

That's got to be a joke...his real car's hidden somewhere...either that or Overhaulin' must have it.

My 1.6 Focus would hand that it's arse to be honest. Embarrass him...then laugh slightly hysterically for comedy value.

W T F Words fail me.

Ooh! Did he slide or roll? Sliding's not too bad, rolling like a rag-doll hurts like f***!

LOL, you'd run rings around their lardy asses. I can't understand why people think light weight cars won't handle :S To say I'm envious of what you have there is a massive understatement! Is it just for track shennanigans or are you going to compete with it? Will I get to film it in action...

LOL, I was joking. Drag your ass down to Goodwood one day and I'll do my best to make you wish you'd written your last will and testament. I'm hoping to book a day later this month or in November.

You mean in return for favours obviously?

I'm saying 700kgs allowing for +40kgs from the roll cage.

Ooh, some exterior footage for a change...I think my Cup sounds a wee bit fruity tbh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih9GP3wEOJk

Is it on the inner or outer edge Chris? Knowing how you drive, if it was the outer edge I'd be hesitant, but on the inner, no problem.

Nice vids northy! Looks like you had decent weather, good day.

I'm properly FLOL, that touched me, nice. As for the Spanish fly, rapid down a 1/4 no doubt...but, despite the ;), 'killer' is a little rich. Enjoy it.

I always thought brake 'fade' was when the pad failed to bite into the disc because of a layer of gas escaping from the overheating binding resin that holds the pad compound material together - giving a cushion of 'air' that stops the pad contacting the disc properly - hence why Brembo Max discs...

Really? My 172 Cup is 900 kgs with metal doors, a metal roof, glass windows, and loads of crap still in it including one of the original front seats and lots of soundproofing. If I went to the same extremes as has been done on this project, there's at least another 100 kgs there to be saved...

No, you're wrong! They seem to happen quickly when in fact it is primarily down to the fact that the driver affected is not reading the road far enough ahead and planning for what is, or what could be happening or developing in front of them. Someone pulling out of a side junction is a prime...
