Spotted young lady driving a very shiny black 182 reg. H*** BAT on Ryde seafront this afternoon.
Noticed you a few times, you appeared to be doing laps :clown:
I havent got this on the Trophy, but did have it on my mk2 172 and never got it resolved as much as it annoyed me.
Renault did look at it once and told me it was caused by the wiper / indicator stalk assembly and that replacing that would fix it. I think basically its related to the mechanism...
You were going really well, very quick for a 1.2. You didn't hold me up at all, I just decided to ease off on that corner and overtake on the straight. With that bump mid corner i thought it wasn't worth the risk going into it side by side. :D
Pah, can i smell cooked brakes? ;) :rasp:
Check out FastFilms (http://www.fastfilms.co.uk/) I think the guy is a member on here actually. They seem to be about the cheapest ive seen, certainly less than I paid for mine. Kits start at £108 + VAT
The glass on the front of the camera has had a few chips but its only a couple of quid to replace. The actual lense is sat safely behind this so it doesnt get damaged.
Pretty tough things really, its been left on the car for months at a time in all weathers sometimes without any problems.
Well after an evening playing with it, i've gone back to XP :clown:
I know its a beta but jesus it was slow. It also seemed to insist on using cleartype even when i turned it off which i hate with a passion...
I'll come back to it in 6 months time I think.
I'd like to try some other camera positions, but mounting it can be tricky. Could get some great shots using an external suction mount, but most track days dont allow these :(
Yep, located in the grill, cable feeds round the engine bay and into passenger footwell where it connects to power from lighter socket, microphone and connectors to the AV In on a digital camcorder which sits in the rear seat drinks holder thing behind the passenger seat. Also have a LANC...
Finally got round to sorting my video from the Cliosport tracktime at FCS.
Look out for Yoz having to cheat and cut the course to get past me :clown: ;)

Got to be PF97's then. You'll be hard pushed to find any pad that stops you better than that.
Its a good job then! Perfect candidate for the PF97's :clown:
Yep, what he says ^^
No idea if its the same with Mk1's but on Mk2 Clios you cant just take an ECU from another car and use it because it codes itself to the immobiliser of that vehicle. You have to get it reflashed / reset to use on another car or buy a brand new one.
The problem with 15 mins of tracktime is everyone goes out like complete nutters, ignores everything they've been told in the briefing (who cares if they get black flagged when your only going to do about 4/5 laps anyway), and as happened last year someones bound to go off causing a red flag...
Excellent pics mate :D
That marshall was stood in what i think was one of the most dangerous positions possible! Coming out of a fast 5th gear right into the braking zone for that sharp right hander you were headed right at him.
