Good news - my mechanic got to the bottom of the issue with the ABS. The loom had been heat damaged over time by the extra heat caused by the turbo, so he's replaced the wiring with a longer run and re-routed it so it'll never be a problem again. I've also fitted some padding to the roll cage...

Nankang NS-2R in the track compound are good for the money

Yeah I'd go for an Apple one every time, way, way too many cheapo dodgy batteries out there.

I love the crackle on the overrun, first exhaust I've ever had which could do that properly without also being a droning, intrusive POS all the rest of the time!

Depends how many charge cycles it's been through, if it's premature failure then they're usually pretty good in the apple stores about just replacing it. Even at Apple battery replacement is only £60. https://www.apple.com/uk/batteries/service-and-recycling/

I'd like to find out :)

Quick update - with the shitty weather and the ABS issue the 200 has been mostly hibernating in the garage hooked up to the CTEK. It's been up to my mechanic to get the ABS fixed and the bad news is that it's not the sensor, it looks like the ABS loom has failed. Apparently that's not...

New boots - 4x Pilot Sport Cup 2's Still running them in but early indications are pretty damn good :)

Heh, fair enough. Never had a problem myself but I know their customer service can be a bit iffy. http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-3847-desktop/pd?oc=cd84701&model_id=inspiron-3847-desktop - just add an SSD, gets you to your spec for about £400 all in. These days at this end of the market...

£300 to £400 tops should see you with something pre-built, you might have to add a couple of components to match the spec but no big deal. Check out eBuyer - e.g. http://www.ebuyer.com/700271-lenovo-thinkcentre-e73-sff-desktop-10aw009quk I wouldn't discount AMD completely, they're massively...

AD08R is what I'd do too if I could only run one set of wheels on a 182, they're a good compromise tyre. They're not as outright grippy on track as the 888 but they're not far off and they're much better for road use in dodgy weather. The NS2-R's are apparently in the same ballpark if they're...

Guess that's a no then, so has anyone bought one of those wiring diagram discs from eBay? I've seen a few which claim to have pinouts on them and they're not that expensive, but I don't fancy dropping £15 on one if it's going to be a load of useless old guff......

There is very little info out there as they are so new. The only test data I've seen puts them up with the Dunlop DZ03G on lap time but better for subjective feel. That should put them ahead of the R888, but it's just from a random internet post so isn't verified.

Swap you for my SX4 ;)

Soft too, tread wear number is 80. No "street" compound with this one ;) Definitely targeting the proper semi-slick track market, it being road legal is just a bonus really. Be interesting to see how it stands up against the top end track tyres like the A048.

Interesting. Their website is a bit buggered but does give a bit more info. http://www.nankangtyre.co.uk/performance/motorsport/ar-1 Looks like they're going after the high end trackday market now, if they're as price/performance competitive as the NS2-R they could be quite something.

IIRC 185 is about the widest you can go on them.

It varies all over the shop and sometimes from day to day TBH, mytyres, tyreleader, camskill, oponeo, even Demon Tweaks can have some good deals from time to time (OK, not that often, but it happens ;) ) Price range is anywhere from circa £150 a corner down to about £70 a corner depending on...

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the 200 ABS system, ideally the whole lot but specifically looking for the connections from the ABS loom to the front right sensor. Trying to trace a fault, sensor has been replaced so the next step is the wiring.

Should do yep, it says it's for all Renault cars and it does have Clio II in the menu where you pick from the Renault models. This is a link to where I got it from, just be aware that when it arrives the unit will be in German and you'll need to change the language - just a quick google to...
