    My 172 Cup has been STOLEN.

    M***er-f***ers smashed in through our conservatory, grabbed the keys plus some cash from upstairs, then left. Camcorder, camera, Xbox, new 6.1 amp all still here - so was either stolen to order or they got disturbed. Registration YE53 ZKW. Currently wearing 15" Dynamique wheels in silver...

    Fully stripped 0-100 + 100-0 speedo video...

    But I don't think the stripping has made the slightest difference LOL Might be because I was on track tyres that I couldn't get any heat into - the revs flared in 1st and I clipped the limiter. Disappointed with my 100-0 as well - I make it about 5 seconds dead. Click me

    Oops!

    I was out filiming 0-100 and 100-0 runs earlier today on my private airfield. After one 100-0 some random woman in a Zafira pulls up behind me as I'm stopped fiddling with my camera and waiting for the runway to clear. The camera was still running as she got out and came up to my door and...

    My latest weight saving mod...

    Only seems like a small amount, but the change in charcter of the car is HUGE :approve: Louder, coarser, more fidgety, tyre whine, exhaust drone, and quicker (obviously) - goodbye to 8.8 kgs of waste... Also, a big thumbs up to Dave at Rentech for his handywork with a few cable ties :D...

    Colway F2 tyres

    I fancy trying some of these out - but nowhere seems to have them in stock. The Colway office main number when I dial it no longer exists, and if I dial the fax number it just rings and rings. Have they gone bust?

    A slipery lap of Brands Indy

    Clearing down camcorder tapes and came across this. A ragged lap on a damp track on very worn track tyres. With a nervous passenger. Click me

    My Turinis, after 96,000 miles, can they be saved?

    They look terrible I know, flaking, kerbed, covered in baked on brake dust. Am I going to need a full refurb or are there any other options? Considering they've only been hand washed about 5 times in their life, I think they're quite presentable LOL

    Recommend me a wet tyre? Must be asymmetric and not directional...

    in 195/45/16 for my Cup. Thanks.

    Airfield Sprint Championship Nov 2007

    A very eventful day, several offs, a bit of damage, and rain that just about held off - didn't stop the surface being like an ice rink though! I need a new splitter and my arch liners popping back in as a result of my off from chasing that elusive 0.5 second on my last run...

    My sparking brakes! Pics and video clip...

    I like, I like :approve: Once they get hot what comes off the disc is impressive and totally appropriate at this time of year... Warm... Warmer... Bingo! Really bad short video clip of them in action here...CLICK

    My homemade attempt at weighing my Cup...

    ...had to give it a go. Very impressive result I thought. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqLFERq8mKQ This is just for you Tom.

    My brakes are sparking - great stuff :D

    I travel down a lot of narrow tree-lined unlit country roads, and on my way home tonight I noticed a flash (quick like a camera flash but not as bright) out of the drivers window everytime I came off the brakes. So I wound the window down, stuck my head out, and did a few hard stops - I was...

    Could I weigh my Cup accurately using this?

    I've got one at work with 1,000 kgs limit. If I jacked up my car then let it down with one wheel on the pallet truck, and did that for all four corners then added up the results...would I have an accurate total car weight? I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work. But I still don't...

    What's an instructor worth around a track?

    "Is an instruction session worth it?" - is an often asked question. This guy was worth s***-loads. Click He responded to areas where I was weak, and communicated well :approve:

    Is my Plasma tellybox f***ed?

    Two nights ago one line appeared, now there's two from top to bottom. Warranty time I guess - but would it be repaired or replaced do you think?

    HDTV - Is this news to you or are my friends/family a bit thick?

    Conversations with my sister and a mate; both times went like this (talking about football)... Me: "You should see the difference watching it on Sky Sports HD instead of normal SD - it's amazing". Them: "What do you mean Sky Sports HD?" Me: "I mean the Sky Sports HD channel on our Sky HD...

    It's back, it's BAD...

    Well, not really BAD, but meaner (louder) and leaner than it was before. Big thanks to Mike and Dave at Rentech Towers for sorting the wiring problem this weekend - and while it was in, I had the rest of the trim/carpet removed. Including my rubber car mats (which weighed 3kgs) the carpet...

    Car 'Bra's - am I alone in not getting them?

    I mean, take care of yoiur pride and joy by all means but... ...youy're concerned about stone chips (don't drive so close ;) ) and the impact they'd have on how your car looks, yet you think fitting one of those abominations long-term is a good idea. Am I too old over here?

    Is mine the worst melted/f***ed thumgrips Renault steering wheel ever?

    If so, do I win a prize? Mmmmm, nice... Definitely not fit for the purpose...no way is that 'normal' wear and tear. Anyone have one that's worse?

    Technical help please...What's this (or what should it be)?

    My car's thrown an electrical fit and won't start (thread here). I traced the problem to a relay (nestled under a plastic cover by the battery and airbox)that's clicking 5-6 times while it flashes the gear-change light once the ignition's turned on. It's supposed to be in this picture, and...

    1st drive in 3 weeks and the little f***er won't start GRRRRR!

    Help please... 1st time I turned the ignition on, there were 4-5 repeated taps/knocks from the rear left of the car which coincided with the dash gear-change light flashing. Then after all dash lights finally go out I turn the key and get nothing, no solenoid click, no starter motor. So I...

    Stale smoke smell...what's best?

    My old man smoked like a chimney and my Omega, despite 3 Neutradol fresheners, absolutely stinks. I'm guessing the smells penetrated right into seats/headlining. What options do I have to get rid of it? Thanks Mark

    Miracle brake pads that last forever?

    Well, three of them, almost... These are what came out today, the first time ever since it left the factory 92,681 miles ago... New Old Can anyone beat that?

    Trackday pads - not for road use?

    Or OK for road use, but not high mileage? Had my Pagid Blues removed today - after 30,000+ miles they didn't look too good... They performed faultlessly from beginning to end...although they did suffer a teeny weeny bit around the South West circuit at Bedford. Good...but not meant for...

    Insurance for 2 cars - no claims?

    I can't declare my no claims entitlement on two seperate policies, right? So I need to insure one of my cars with 0% no claims discount? Are there any companies you know of that give good cover for two cars? Or do I take it up the *** and pay through the nose for one of them?
  29. Tighten My Nuts

    Finally, my new car...mod suggestions please?

    Will be insured in two weeks time :approve: Mods planned so far by me are; 1. Clean it What else should/could I do? Oh yeah, trailer not included LOL Best thing about it is I can practice my left foot braking without having to worry about a clutch.

    Technical/track boffs please - caliper wear?

    My brakes grumble badly and loudly during heavy use. I had a smilar problem around 40-50k, much less though, and cured it with a new set of calipers. Now at 90k it's back and ten times worse. Are the calipers shagged again, or could it be something on the hub assembly that's at fault? Thanks.
