in my experience, i use much less fuel with cruise control, i get about 30/32 mpg normally, but have seen 45 on the motorway using cruise.

^ from the sound of it, these are still very much in development. it's just that dan has ignored the usual route of hype and drip feeding information. i for one think that when finished these should be both top quality and great value for money. and also a top piece of initiative too! hope you...

when i got my set. i asked kw about doing this, but they thought there wasn't enough room to fit a coilover in the rear. what are the advantages to having a single unit over seperate coils and dampers?

i had a faulty throttle which was a lot like that, i got lights too. although with the omex, i'm guessing you wont? but anyway a new throttle from renault solved everything (and lightened my wallet no end too!)

they must have used parts they already manufacture i guess, but possibly put them together in a different order, ie casing from one car, platform from another. although, i would have thought ast are a big enough manufacturer to be able to spend a couple of thousand euros on r&d. thats half the...

they might not be directly comparable, but since plenty of people have used the other kits they would still be a useful benchmark. from what i have heard about ast they should be very impressive for what they cost.

hardly all your fault fred, imo. anyway. how likely do you think a testing session would be?

i was getting all excited about the idea of a proper comparison too. it would be good to get some accurate answers finally.

:rolleyes:

thats a good point. in fact, thats exactly what i did!:) . isn't there a set for sale at the moment too?

as above, although i would go for the 15's over the 16's.due to cheaper tyres, and improved gearing.

sorry, not very clear before. thats what i meant. and maybe at the end of the day there might be some time for everyone to play!

fair enough i guess. i've no idea of the cost. i spoke to the guy a while ago, and i know he was massively increasing the life of engines and boxes, so i thought it might work out to save a bit of money in the long run.

to get a result that would'nt just cause more fighting. they would have to drive everyones cars themselves. then i'm sure there would be some spare time at the end of the day;)

i'm pretty sure they treat the whole thing, it just has to be dismantled for the process to work correctly. i might completely have the wrong end of the stick, but i think this is similar to forging, but via a different process. i do know that it treats all the way through the metal, not just...

no, but they can do gearboxes too. the main cost ( i believe is in the stripping/re-building) so if you are going to have it in bits anyway, you might be able to double (or more) the life of your box.

should get it organised! race and track is quality. that would be an interesting day i think.

me? frozen solid are a cryogenic treatment company, they do jobs for most bttc and dtm teams. i thought i was speaking to you about them before? maybe someone else? basically they can massively increase the strength and life of engine components, might be worth looking into?

fred, i'm sure i saw yozzasport having something to do with pgti? or was i imagining it? if not, how about speaking to them about a comparison test? would be a good read, and probably stop some of the fighting.

i've got a kw competition set. with slightly softer springs and valving. so it can almost be driven on the road, as i use it every day!

the r888's will go even quicker. last time i went to castle combe i had a half worn set, which became slicks on the lefthand side by lunchtime. all in all, i had destroyed them in about 300 miles!

actually fred, did you have a look at frozen solid? if you're about to do a re-build, it's the perfect time.

honestly doctor, it was a bet. :o

i'm doing well if my tyres last 7k at all! :(

i was looking at a competition set a while ago, powerstation is an awesome place too! where are you based? i'd be interested in doing a bit of comparison.

i knew it was ast you wanker. lol. these should be dynamite!

it's even more sick now, since scott finished setting it up properly!

really? what is the difference out of interest?

only the cup has a wider track, and that comes from running a different offset on the wheels, the position of the hubs stays the same on all the rs's

that looks like laroche bernard!! my dad has a boat in the marina there, and my parents live a few miles away.
