Stay with Pe2's as safe bet. If you ventured on track ;) http://www.federaltire.com/en/html/pdetail.php?DB=motosports&pdline=3&ID=3

You know when they get too hot as the rubbers on the calipers melt :o

They do tend to glaze with lots of town driving & frequent wheel washing. A trip into the countryside ;) usually clears that up:D

Check tyre pressures? My 197's brakes were emense, but they loved to get hot.

Don't touch it !

Re: Trophy #433 Get a proper strap on that wheel if you value yor life!

Jim did you get to try the launch control? For a big barge it motors even down the tight lanes of my favorite circuit. I bet OJ's pleased :D

Zen.

I binned the CS3's & replaced with Hankook Rs2's, runs rings round the competition. Next time i'm trying another unknown make federal RSR's as these are control tyre for some race series & getting good reviews.

5 was due service so took along to race prep company & they used the above. The oil i used for last 6 months was Shell helix Ultra & it was well dirty so did it's job of flushing out crap! There race cars use this as 5's have the Ford 2.0 unit in them. Total price for service £100, included...

Warren my 197 was quicker than my Trophy over my test route by quiet a margin. Mainly down to better brakes ala lot more confidence where it counts & far more compliant on the edge. But that was then. Now i'm loving RWD. :)

Just get PF pads, Hankook RS2's & take brave pills;) Very good, well balanced car so stick with it. Going back to a 182 you would loathe the brakes, g/box etc etc.

Soon though you will get bored, i did. I found outright lap times became boring & moved onto less grippy tyres to have more FUN! Controlling slides & drifts, getting the basics correct was a lot more enjoyable & taught more car control. Also sooner rather than later you may experience the...

They last fine, did loads of trackdays & road miles when i had them on the 197. When you need some more tyres why not try these...

Try Hankook Rs2 in 15 :D

Always prefered the plain discs myself.

I did Donington GP in monsoon conditions, wipers full on & still no visability. No probs at all, is a vid on here somewhere.

Your wasting your time they have never heard of them;) Bit like mentioning Rs2's 18 months ago. They like the 'sheep' option :D

Do a trackday as is, then assess what needs doing. Typical CS spend 000's & never go near a track ;)

I'd start by changing pads to PF or Carbotec, brake later with better retardation. Then contact one of the race teams & get suspension, camber, castor, alignment & corner weight, if need be, sorted. It don't need any more power, just needs to be able to carry more corner speed, if you...

Got anymore photos Russ? Looks amazing, really changed the colour. Must of been dirty lacquer. Been on since Feb done several trackdays, inc Silverstone 3 days ago.

Got them in 17 for my 5 :D

Thats fine, i've got a karcher bad boy if needed ;)

Anytime, if you need it washing give us an approx time as the wine & beers are in full flow :D

Track day sir, suits you :)

Not praticing on a silver car by chance ;)

Gone are the days of getting 4 X 195/50/15 delivered to your door for £250. Toyo only supply the major players & prices are regulated. Think they are cashing in on there success. I would try other brands as there are some awesome tyres available at reasonable prices. I like Warren moved away...

Reason being road tyre on track. Try track tyre on road :) Several trackdays & 5000 road miles & were still going strong when i sold the car.

My thoughts exactly. I always remove boot carpets etc & look for damage. They crumple very easily, but they are supposed to:D
