    Winter Tyres: Keep your no-claims discount this winter!

    Again you've missed my point. It doesn't matter what your current ability level is. It doesn't matter how much training you have or have not had. You can always improve, driving is a learning experience from day one, everyone can always improve. The biggest issue is that most people can't man...

    Winter Tyres: Keep your no-claims discount this winter!

    No, that's not what I said...I'm all in favour of winter tyres...see my post earlier in the thread. What I was responding to was your specific point about being a driving god ;) because you've never had an accident and therefore would not benefit from any additional training. You would, a lot...

    Winter Tyres: Keep your no-claims discount this winter!

    Everyone needs additional training as what you learn before passing your test is woefully inadequate. The trouble is most people justify their driving ability just like you have...never had a crash so no need to improve anything.

    Mad Person in a Clio spining around youtube

    Good technique for learning how to control oversteer in a Clio...he's probably now very talented.

    Winter Tyres: Keep your no-claims discount this winter!

    I didn't think the point of winter tyres was all about snow/ice/damp/wet conditions - as Oms clearly stated in his OP the point of them is that they work at cold temperatures whereas normal 'summer' tyres do not. For a tyre to 'work' properly the tread has to work to turn the car as shown...

    help not rev over 3ooo

    It could be the throttle body? I had the same and it's usually the throttle pedal sensor or the throttle body itself, and seeing as you've done the throttle pedal already probably worth trying a replacement body. Couple of hundred notes from Renault, £30 secondhand off here, or swap yours...

    Woopdy Woop - finally got my Cup and I love it!!!

    LOL, all good then. Just didn't want Tyssen to think there might be something amiss with her new pride and joy.

    Woopdy Woop - finally got my Cup and I love it!!!

    OK, my last post on the subject. This should be self explanatory... What stickers?

    Woopdy Woop - finally got my Cup and I love it!!!

    You mean the black plastic clip-in moulding that isn't a sticker next to the body coloured recess? What stickers?????

    Woopdy Woop - finally got my Cup and I love it!!!

    Looks like a nice straight one Tyssen :approve: Stickers? What? There's nothing missing from Tyssen's front bumper, and it's definitely not missing any stickers. As in the silver picture above, what you have is a body coloured recess on the outside, and a black plastic moulded insert...

    how many cup fatalities this winter?

    I'm still here. Been slip-sliding about some of late, but it's all good fun.

    Espace V6 airbox is now fitted!

    As above, power-assisted-steering. Was me on RSUK, and SRR is very consistent. Can't say if it's accurate or not, but year after year with no changes it gives very consistent readings. Don't! I tried it at SRR - Charlie let me detach my CAF and rotate the intake on the airbox to pick-up from...

    xbox360...explain...

    Whatever you do buy the biggest HHD you can get. As said above, running the games from the disc makes so much noise, so installing the games to run direct from the HDD is the only way to go. Do that with a few games, download some Arcade classics, install a few CDs of music, download a movie or...

    crashed my car, 6 weeks of ownership

    LOL at cat, no residential properties nearby yet there happens to be this feral one sat on the roundabout in the middle of an industrial estate wanting to f*** up the unwary motorist. I'm with Mace, you were a bit too fruity, got a little out of shape, panicked, then got a lot out of...

    Is a Cup, 1k better than a PHS 1??

    PH1 has a far more aggressive front end than PH2, I think it's much better. Cup wins though, although I would say that as that's all I've ever known :D

    buying a 172 with 100+k on the clock

    Bit of a lottery really, you might find a FSH good condition car that's been driven by a c*ck all its life, so all appears well, but mechanically it's f***ed. Or you could find one like mine, 115k, one owner from new who's ritually but sympathetically abused it on countless airfield and track...

    Brand new to the CUP Scene....and I crashed already.

    FFS, bad luck fella. Get it sorted. Get it on track. It'll be worth it.

    New guy...

    Howdy :approve: Sorry to hear baout the bump...I almost did the exact same thing in my Focus at work yesterday, slowly into parking space, and continue going towards next door's compactor. Stopped, got out, no more than 5mm left to go, phew. It's winter (the annual Cup cull LOL) so before...

    New Clio owner....172 cup

    I feel ancient by comparison, got mine new in November 2003 LOL Mine's so good I'll never get rid until it meets the armco. Welcome...as said already, take it easy over the winter. Slippery roads from all the salt and s*** they throw down make them move about quite a bit.

    Do you ever get sick of your loud exhaust?

    I think mine sounds great. At low revs on a light throttle it's only slightly bassier than standard. But give it some and it screams along nicely.

    A few Goodwood pics. (RS only)

    Amen. Looked like a good morning. I was stuck re-insulating the loft. Great. Will get along to a lot more next year.

    Inside of a Corsa - although you wouldn't believe it...

    LMAO at thinking that interior's a state...I think it looked quite tidy before you did your work tbh. You should see the inside of my Focus!

    197 Cup Spoiler Rant..

    Mate had his delivered with this when it should have had this Looks so much better now. Agree with no spoiler at all looking sh*te...you've got to have something or else as said, it looks bloated and unfinished.

    In-ear headphones - which ones?

    Genuine? He's only got feedback of 46 and as has been said there's a lot of fakes out there apparently. I want to get a set of these...will probably buy from Play just to be sure.
