15" rims, ET35 - can I stick these on my Cup without fcuking things up?
Before anyone says it, I have searched, and it comes up with pages of threads...haven't got time to read all of them to find the info. I'm looking for...
...another boring post about the heat...
Lovin' it, windows down, shades on...
Actually, no I fcuking don't, I hate having to open all windows/doors for ten minutes before I go anywhere so...
I've got me some of these to run at Brands in August...
Should I drop them in on the day and bed them in during the first session, or run them on road for a few weeks before to bed them in that way?
Any pros/cons to either route (apart from being a hazard on track as I keep jumping on them)?
Here's a clip of one of my 6.50's...and watching it back now, I can clearly see where the extra time is :mad:
I'll catch those pesky MKI's. We need to go again...
Had a standard service today, and while Mike had it, I asked him to fit a new set of front calipers (which I supplied), and bleed the brakes all round (Mike supplied the fluid).
After all that TLC, it then gets a nice jetwash, then handwash.
Less than £180 :D (including unlimited coffee...
I can't get out of work tomorrow, I'm sprinting at Haynes on Saturday, and we've a full day on Sunday so I miss out on it this year - gutted :(
This is what makes it unmissable though, from last year, an F1 car so close and revving so high it makes your ears bleed :D
Enjoy... - best viewed...
Following on from here where I had a sound problem with my Origin b2, I sent it off to them.
Two days later I'm e-mailed to say they've found the fault, and it's been sent for repair/replacement.
Two more days later and I'm e-mailed to say it's all fixed, and is ready for despatch.
Two...
As title...
Night before last it didn't make a single sound the whole way home, even if I tried to adjust volume it didn't give me the confirmation beeps.
Yesterday it worked again, but didn't sound right, and was intermittent.
Today's the same.
Anyone else had a similar problem?
I...
I spoke with an instructor at Castle Combe and he said he raced his Corsa on them, and in a Race & Track Car mag article on the CC Saloon Car Championship recently, it seems he's not alone.
Anyone run a set on their Clio on the road? Did they last?
Or do the racers rave about them 'cause...
No damage thankfully...just muddy footprints everywhere.
And if that isn't bad enough...he then forced his way into my house.
Luckily I caught him sniffing around and chased him the f*** out...
I caught a picture of him as he made his escape...
If anyone sees him...
Completely forgot about this...
I'd had a really frustrating session, getting held up everywhere with some shockingly bad driving, so I'm cooling down then this happened...
Almost had me...
First off...huge thanks to James for sending me the DVD of this - this is filmed from his seriously rapid nicely driven VTS following me pushing an Ultima along.
I know they're ultimately quicker than a 172 Cup, and I don't profess to have a faster car than an Ultima.
But, it doesn't...
Had pretty serious fade at Bedford, and it seems I'm now asking for more than DS2500's have to give.
Can anyone say which are "better"? Dust isn't an issue as my wheels are black anyway and I hardly ever clean my car...I just need to know that when I step on the middle pedal they're gonna...
I'm fed up of all the arguments about who's year/spec/engine is fastest? I'm bored...and I've made assumptions, so if anyone that was there can correct me where I've gone wrong, please do...
At the rolling road day at Janspeed recently, there were 30 odd cars that turned up, roughly 5 of...
Had my K-tec Stealth fitted for a week now, and I still can't stop smiling :D . I've never had anything approaching a sports/aftermarket exhaust before, so my Cup's spent most of the last week between 5-8k rpm with windows down so I can enjoy it.
Can't see how I'll ever tire of it...what...
Finally got round to doing this, only the, ahem, pit lane was damp, so traction through to 3rd was tricky.
I reckon I hit 60 (63ish on the clock) in 7.1 on both runs, but got to 100 in 17.5 then 17.0.

Got a bad back, knocked a bottom rib, never had back pain before, this really ******* hurts!
I'd give anything for lumbar support - haven't driven my car for 3 days :(
He was hard work but I got him back on the brakes in the end - he had fairly good lines, but held me back through the section I spun out on earlier in the day - timed at about 1:40:5 - 111S - 14mb
No other cars in this one, but it was my best flying lap timed at 1:37:6 - best lap - 13mb - no...
Umm...great day at Goodwood today, dry, sunny, freeeeeeezing...and I just forgot that I don't weigh 500kgs and sit 50mm from the tarmac like Caterham's do...
9mb - 30sec clip - right click, "Save As..."
The day started out really nice, with a good chance of the sun drying the track out, then mid-morning the rain came :( After lunch most of the standing water had gone but it was still greasy since the whole track was resurfaced about 4 weeks ago.
Had a couple of good runs this afternoon, but...
Ahhh, the joys of trackdays...with a little frustration thrown in at the end for good measure. It's nice to see a Trophy in its natural habitat...
4 min clip here - 20mb
Who said Trophy's were the fastest Clios... ;)
Had a frustrating day today...the driving standard wasn't much cop, and I kept ending up being no. 11 in the queue, when 10 is the circuit maximum so a lot of time was wasted sat watching everyone go by :(
Finally managed to hook up and run with/against Nik in his Trophy in the last...
I drive pretty smoothly most of the time, the traffic doesn't allow anything else. But on each journey, I make sure it goes through the gears properly at least once.
I've always run my Cup on Optimax since new, and normally by now would have 37-38 showing on my mpg avg.
After 2/3 of its...
