This. Last time, when you had this exact same problem, and when the AA told you to take it to a garage, what did the garage you took it to say or do to fix your car? Can't you just take it back to them now it's become an annoyance?

To me the N5 camera is fairly decent. Decent enough for images on a forum, not decent enough for formal wedding pictures. The speaker's a bit rubbish too. Those are the only downsides if you can call them that.

Understood! I'm just there for the atmosphere really...there being fellow Renault enthusiasts and some rare beasts out on track makes for a great day.

I'll be fighting you for the passenger seat then?!

Both there or just your good self piloting?

Booked on in what Chip?

Six of one, half a dozen of another.

Nice. I like.

This is unusual for me but I really enjoyed reading that. Top work!

So today after almost 5,000 miles on them it was time to rotate the 'new' Bridgestone RE050s around. Starting off with 7.5 mm when new, today, before swapping them around, they were; Front left - 4.6 mm Front right - 5.0 mm Rear left - 6.4 mm Rear right - 6.4 mm Compared to my Clios the...

Did they swap your wheels around while they were at it? Your rear right is rotating the wrong way...standing water will be a nightmare, very dangerous!

Nice seats! Can't say I have an opinion really, don't really know a single thing about them! Does it go OK? What engine's in it? Edit: just checked, 1.6 turbo with overboost...so it'll be close to 200bhp I'd have thought?

That's the ones!

Wasn't the engine in the Nissan Delta Wing the 1.6 unit from the Clio...that iirc Fred was saying could or did run well over 300bhp on standard (or close to) internals? On the Fiesta I know that there's a couple of 'packages' out there right now claiming to give 300 bhp...although time will...

Is this the one where you can shoot Charlie Brooker?

Ditchfinder tyres maybe? It did look like he was really struggling with it! He he he. Short, quiet, clear sighted, good surface, no side roads/junctions etc. and a Shell garage to top back up once you've run dry LOL It's perfect!

That's all well and good were it not for the fact that the owner confirmed to me he absolutely wasn't playing with me at all. Think about it...his power to weight is only circa 10% higher than mine, he couldn't get it turned in (I'm not saying you or anyone else couldn't or wouldn't), he...

OK, I concede, lack of traction was not the most accurate way of describing a car's inability to get its power down due to taking so long to get turned in and back on the power from weighing half a ton more. Is that better?

Only on CS would someone disregard a cars ability to get traction as being relevant when comparing two cars! Did you not notice me coming off the throttle half way along each straight? Did you notice what happened when I didn't? Fcuk it, I'd better go stage 11 as well.

It did indeed! I could almost feel it as it went by! Was the first thing I said as I walked over afterwards.

Exactly! I don't actually ever take mine out because I park on my drive in a quiet village, or I park in a private car park within 5 metres of my office window. If I were to park somewhere where I felt there was a risk I'd probably remove the front one though. The rear one is not visible...

A little cheating in my part here, two audio sources on the clip, one from in the cabin, the other from beneath the bonnet. I mixed the two a little too heavy on the side of the engine bay one so it's all a bit too much ptshhhh.

I'd agree if you leave them in the car, visible, when parked up. Why would you do that though? Would you leave a sat nav stuck on a mount on the windscreen?

I was trying to see if I could get the intake temperatures to a point where the car starts holding back to see if there's any benefit to be had from an upgraded intercooler during normal road use. Conclusion is it's pointless.

At 2:55 I passed him then he looped around and followed me...both pulled into the Shell garage afterwards and had a chat, thoroughly nice bloke. Said his was decatted and had a Miltek exhaust. Claimed 370bhp but then he was giving my half a ton in return! Datalogging is subject to variables...

Video including footage captured by the rear mounted camera is here... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?751994-ST-vs-Audi-S4&p=10385029#post10385029 Annoyingly having repositioned the front camera I left the power lead out of the power socket so I only had the exterior mounted...

So I'm out legally lapping a local section of DC trying to get my intake temps up when a B6 S4 joined in the fun. Conclusion? An upgraded intercooler is a waste of money unless you do trackdays, and the understeer in an S4 means it gives a massive amount away exiting tight 2nd gear turns.

Only stuck down since last night so far...nothing special sticky pad wise...Sellotape Permanent Stick Fixers. Past experience with these (using GoPro mounts) has shown them to be ore than up to the task. As for the rattly mount...that's another reason I wanted to move to the rearview one as it...

So, a month down the line and now with a second G1WH for the rear, I decided to mount them a little more permanently than can be done with the supplied suction mounts. The camera/memory card/mount bundle I bought had a rear-view-mirror stem mount that didn't fit around the mirror on my ST...
