Scrutineering would be fun with that one ...

I'm in the situation that I'm looking for pit to car radios for race day. Race car specific setups are very expensive so in sure someone here must have cobbled together a cheaper option ... What have you got ?? I've looked at basic two way radios, licence free and peltor headsets / rally helmet...

Gripper ...?? You mean Quaife (don't you ?)

I need some stickers for the mini chap ... Get them done !!

I've generally only seen 205/50/15 and 17+ on the bay ... Don't make anything smaller than a 18 now from new, mainly Porsche and BMWs track / ring tyres

Mines 1007kg dry ... Strewth sonny where did you lose 130kgs ?

Race car setup ... Race and team sponsor stickers there too.

Hi guys, Any one used the Michelin sport cup tyres on a clio ? ... Did they last ? Worth the money ?? Cheers S

It's a square 3mm plate bent to suit then welded to the link arm. I'm not running any inner arches so just allowing the air to deflect.

With the pads I would recommend cooling ... It's cheap to do and I've had no probs since installing a simple deflector and £5 duct off ebay tiger sealed in the fog light surround.

Well call that one against ...

So on a racing level ... Are silicone coolant hoses worth the £175 to £250 ... I'm not convinced hence the question. All comments welcome please

Mick... The vbox was neat stuff, in my driver training the guy could show me were I was not braking late enough and the time / distance lost in the corner. The video side by side was good as it compared like for like ... It also allowed me to "prove" that it wasn't always me that effected my...

Harry ... That's exactly my plan AIM and gopro and really for qualifying and lap count for race ... Albeit I'll have a timer going as its 45mins ....

To be honest I'm hooked on this also, at £300 and it gives instant readout etc I can't fault it... I was at brands this week with a Vbox and its an amazing bit of kit but even at the laptimer entry it's over twice as much and I'm just not sure at this stage of my racing I'll get the full...

Ds3000 give the bite over the ds2500, I've been very happy with them.

.... Just read teams average budget of £35k for the cup series eek

Well ... I made a boo boo. The clio cup race series is £1800 (old x85 cup racers) but cleverly listed as £1200+vat if registered before March. The road series is £720+vat (£864)

Oddly ... Only 7 cars were entered / raced at Rockingham on the 11th so not big numbers ... Also at £1800 entry fee it's a bit pricey !!!! Nevertheless, at approx £9k for a race ready car I'd be happy with that ...

Ummm well that is the question really ... Honestly I'd rather commit money to the mitchelin road series in a 197 and then use the car to race in other series like the MSV and Tricolore & 750club. I think the best combination is (for me personally) the road series and ad-hoc msv races ... The car...

Yeah ... I guess so. I'm not sure if I have to get out the car when on a single driver ... I'll find out on the 16th May

Not necessarily driver swap but yes a 120 or 110 sec mandatory stop in Trackday / Team Trophy. Oddly 22mins isn't long enough lol

How do you get on with it ? Do you use the software ??

Ive always opted for full hard front and full hard rear ... i run an ARB and have softened that a bit since increasing the rear spring rate. Once youre pushing and you get understeer you can tweek it by softening the front.

I had 9mins from leaving the Scrutineering garage to my practice session ... It's not harder to fit an extra hole and plating The blue book will be for the where's and why fors ... Personally save the agro and conversation an mount a separate hole plate .. Nearside i mounted on the "tunnel" and...

Thanks for the offer Mick. Happy to hear prices on the laptimer ... I like the display element ... Just looking through their site at the mo regarding the features etc

Whilst reason says yes ... I had issues with the Scrutineer at Snett last sat who was very keen to see independent fixings with plates top and bottom. Connect the Scrutineer in advance, they'll give you a quick yes / no on this.

What he's saying is if these race cars go to a track day as a corporate day or shake down then it's a case that they can't disconnect all the timing gear (often linked to data logging etc) just to do a track day ... Of course ... You just switch it on after leaving the pits and off when you do...

In hindsight I should have been a bit more specific ... I'm looking for a dash mounted lap counter / timer for race day... Following my 1st race I needed something to work too and in car laptimer would help out. Vbox laptimer looks good ... As does the simple beacon system ... If it offers...

GPS timing equipment looks like the one ... I'll do a bit of eesearch on the vbox gear later... But it's all just the same as the harrys laptimer and a GPS signal module.. Umm could mount the iPhone in the car for a race then ?!?
