Nick, Crazy thing about the DS 3000 is that they are supposed to be crap when cold, and are listed for racing purposes only, but I find them very good all round pads. They have a fairly high coefficient of friction and I found myself slowing down too fast at first in comparison with the...

Ive had both the Willy and the Ragnotti. I prefer the styling of the older car myself, as well as the lighter weight, but recognise the advantages of a car that is ten years newer. No worries about corrosion or what may have happened to the car under the previous owners care or lack thereof...

Seb, Get in touch when you know exactly when you will be at the ring. Ill meet you there. Ill give you a few passenger laps so you dont have to wast your money on recce laps. Has the NSX lad any experience? Pretty hairy car to learn the ring in! Just put a little extra air in the fronts...

Well, they only built 300 Ragnottis for all of France! And it is even lighter than the Cup! No rear wiper! Or weighty badges for that matter...

The bird drives the Ragnotti every day.

So, it looks like people are fired up about the 19th. I didnt see you there on Monday Dave. I did see Jules though. Ed

The car is in England by the looks of things though... Oakfields Natley Scures GB-rg279 Hook, Hants Tel.: +44 - 1256 / 760256 Fax: +44 - 1256 / 762415...

I have spent some time chasing down Megane turbos at the ring and must say that I was surprised at their performance. They handle very well and seem more composed than the Ragnotti in the difficult bits. And of course the extra power makes up for the added weight. I hate the looks though! Ed

Toypop, you are having trouble grasping the fact that we need to bring the revs up to a proper level and these are not close ratio boxes. Say Im approaching Aremberg at 170ish in 5th. I need to change down from 5th to 4th to 3rd, trailbraking the last bit. Heel toeing is the only way to do...

I heel toe every downshift whilst braking, either on the track or road. It just makes life a lot easier for the mechanical bits as it is a far smoother way of downshifting.

Ive even seen it in 5th gear.

No comparison. The 182/172/Cup wins by miles in the bang for buck and fun department. I lpve my ragnotti. Drive one and see what you think. Ed

Just order a spare set from Dieppe or a dealer. If you need some on an emergency basis, I have a set sitting at ring Racing. Ed

Only one I would consider is the Scooby or an Evo. 172 is as good as the others one way or the other. VW isnt nice at all.

Good luck. I need another Cup to play with. Ed

So, you are back on the Cup? Ed

Willy I Mine was number 3369. At the time I believe they needed to build 5000 so for Grp N homologation.

Cool. Youll have it well broken in by the time you reach Nürburg. Funny thing about the type R, they seem pretty well matched to the Clio in terms of performance. I do like the seats though! Ed

Dave, You found one. If I were you, Id have a chat with the former owner and find out why it got traded with 1000mi. on the clock. You may be pleasantly surprised to find an old biddy who just didnt like the ride or something like that. The two owner thing could be that it was a pre...

No need for a turbo. Honda manages to get a good bit more out of 2l in the S2000. How does 240hp sound? If I want a 2 litre turbo Ill go up a class to the Scooby or Evo. Naturally aspirated engines are more responsive and as long as the car is light, you dont need gobs of horsepower. Ed

No turbo for me. A 2.0 putting out 200+hp in a lightened S1600 bodyshell and Id be happy. Wouldnt mind a sequential box in it either. This one would do though!http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1063316945__100-0035_IMG_2.jpg

Found one yet? How often do you need A/C there anyway? It doesnt make the car any faster. Ed

Yes, and beyond, but thankfully without any serious repercussions thus far. And only on the track... Ed

Now that is a bit discriminatory. Youre just afraid that my Ragnotti would win. Ed [Edited by Eddd on 07 July 2004 at 9:07pm]

I thought all the silver ones had air, and it would be an easy way to find one. I didnt know you had air in the last one. Ed

Thanks James. I was enquiring on behalf of Clare/David. I do hope he/she hasnt gone the same route as Jilly. Looks like there are two threads going now. Ed

Had a bit of work done recently? I guess that explains the avatar. Too bad about your car though. Ed

Clare/Dave, Bit of gender bending? Good luck with your search. I was trying to find one for you as well but have come up dry thus far. Ed [Edited by Eddd on 06 July 2004 at 9:09am]
