yep 13.9 from my hybrid:D same situation here tom, I've raced both midge and bass direct and pulled ever so slightly at the top end. both were 1.8's with low boost conversions running 10psi. i expect to get battered when midge finishes his high boost conversion tho:evil:
haha, seat with frame and gearstick holder cost £205 all together, can be had for £180 without the g/stick holder, is quite abit of money but if you enjoy racing games is 100% worth it.
its kinda had to tell on the pics but once you are sat down you are in perfect line with the screen, not...
would'nt bother with low boost really as they are as quick as a modded hybrid, you NEED high boost if doing it properly;) http://www.engine-dynamics.com/ is BB's new site and seem to be the cheapest for turbo bits at the min...
coops, naples 16v ( justin ) , maxiboy and midge. a few more are over at www.clio16valver.co.uk ( redrocket, dan wii, and wag1 i think are a few more )
perfect companion for the g25/27 , probably works with the Porsche wheel aswell:cool: ( note: i have the gearstick holder as well just not fitted in the pics....)
think the cups wheels weigh the same as a std willy wheel so that gonna be 7.2kg they are alot stronger tho. a prima replica was actually .1kg lighter than the official wheels being 7.1kg. this was from when someone had a set on Williams Clio and weighed them all
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
cheap set of 16's on ebay at the sec, still lighter than a willy wheel @ 6.1kg and same size with a 45 profile;)...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
the wheels: totaly agree that superleggeras are THE best wheel for a mk1 ( probably why i own 2sets/sizes and spares lol );) i was in the same position when looking for them as you could'nt get them new anymore and everyone else had pro race etc and they...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
well done getting it that light mate, good 70kg less than mine but then i like my creature comforts as its my daily;)
seriously tho mate im very shocked you think light weight wheels are a waste, made a HUGE difference to the way mine drove when i fitted...
do a dell diagnostic check , can't remember if it checks the hd tho but worth a try. to get it in diagnostics mode you need to hold the FN key and turn the laptop on ( the fn key is next to the left ctrl button )

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
you did well to stop it hitting the wall mate:eek: looks like you were going very quick before hand:evil: alot more grip with the cut slicks?? ( probably the reason the box gave up )
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
looks sweet as mate:cool: shame i could'nt make this one, no time off work allowed:mad: have any battles with gaz or northy?:evil:
ouch, 197 cup looks f**ked. glad to hear both walked away tho:) i remember when i was there a few years back and a trophy had a similar fate:( apart ftom the 197 looks a cracking day:D
will be a good upgrade:rasp:;) honestly tho dont listen to the people who say they brake down all the time, ive had my hybrid ( basicly a williams ) for 4 years now and have used it every single day and it has'nt missed a beat... do it you won't look back
sweet pics matey:cool: was a good little meet even if i had to leave early, we'll go for a longer drive next time;)
i was trying from the lights mate honest just you got much better traction and was off:o i honestly reckon i would have major problems if you were using a valver/172 etc box as...
