Iggy does good :D A few muppets as usual making each lap a succession of drag races, fun though. rb6P2fHk0Ek

Where are you stopping en route from Portsmouth? Or are you all the way non stop?

I can just about squeeze all 3 onto our drive. I have to do it by feel though.

How does it get into the lacquer? Badges put on before the lacquer had properly gone off? So it absorbed some of the adhesive then went rock hard? Regardless, it's a pain in the a*se. I wanted to put a amall sticker where the big S is. :(

Took badges off the boot earlier, much gentle rubbing, claying and polishing later and I'm left with this... Rubbing fingers across these marks they can't be felt at all so it's not an obvious sticky residue or dirt build up that can be cleaned off the surface :S Recommendations as...

Yes, you'll have no problem at all. I have a set of 15s that are ET35, and running 205/50/15 tyres I have no problems with clearance. My Cup looks like a tractor though, standard springs/dampers and minus 117kgs means it sits up a bit so I've got loads of clearance...may be a bit tighter if...

I'll pretty much be following your convoy route anyway (joining at Godalming on the A3) so may well bump into you.

I'll be making my own way there I think. Pointless me adding an extra hour to my journey over to Pompey just to be outcast to the back of the convoy in my Ignis ;) See you all there!

Oooft, tool, ouch, shame. It's a big boys game this track malarky.

Woop. I'm coming now...wasn't sure if I could make it but pulled in a few favours and I'm good to go. Full 6 track sessions booked too - will be interesting as the Cup's staying at home and I'm bringing the mighty Ignis! 1. Couzens - Early morning drive 2. Nick172Cup - Early morning drive...

I swear mine is less now than it was lock-to-lock. Having said that I've never counted...how many turns on a standard PAS rack? Next time I take the Cup out I'll count. Regardless, certainly doesn't feel any less sharp. What it does feel like, is as though you have the part of the tyre that's...

My CLs held together well on several track outings. But a set of Pagid Blues I ran looked like the s*ite-stuff pictures in the OP. Edit: here they are, not quite as bad...but not good...

For what it's worth, here's the dyno graph. The higher/second curve was with no PAS, and a change from standard airbox to an Espace V6 setup. Gave 10bhp all in, and the RR owner says 7bhp is the going rate for losing PAS so that makes 3 or so for the filter.

Nice video, nice driving, huge fun.

Aye, that I do. It's manageable but has taken me a while to get used to it. Released 7bhp (back to back dyno runs proven) and saved about 10-11kgs. I started out with a 300mm wheel (really f***ing hard work) then went to a 330mm (bit easier) and now I'm on a 350mm and it's alright unless...

My 1st ever trackday was in one of these...that's what got me hooked, Got an old in-car video of the session on VHS somewhere...I'll see if I can dig it out and digitise it.

Nice, I like. Need to see that setup up close Mat, my IS suffers really badly from fuel surge too...anything less than 15 litres or so and I can't brake or corner without it stuttering or dying completely when I get back on the throttle.

The one from my Cup, with the subframe but without an airbag was 21 kgs.

...how much is it really worth...decided to find out on the IS. CX-U0xgL2y0 Lots of PVA needed along with earplugs to blank out the wife's moaning...

He f***ing needs it.

I've run a set in the past...running 205/50/15 rubber. This was on standard suspension with some modest strippage. Cleared the calipers fine and no rubbing.

That's what I thought :S Was there any attempt whatsoever to reduce speed for the corner? Looked pretty 'kamikaze' to me.

Bin bin bin bin bin.

So it wasn't the pads that were letting you down, you were failing to get any pressure onto them from the spongy fluid. Do this then you can really determine how pads feel/behave, if your fluid's sh*te it doesn't really matter what pad you run as you can never press them against the disc hard...

Cheap ones can do the job just fine. I bought mine on eBay 4 years ago for £55 delivered, came in a sturdy case with 2 batteries and is more than capable. I always start and finish by hand though.

A1 pics.

Shiny. Sits well.

Only had it out once since the Ignis landed, and that was only to see if I could clear the rust from the back discs. Spends most of its time hiding behing Iggy now and being walked over and slept on by my cat.

I was coming to the end of the airstrip, needed to pick my braking point.

Igins Sports rock, fact. Nothing else for the money/running costs comes close. j9wMrEjA8QE
