Video now up. Watching it again it actually pulls alright in 4th once it gets going. LOL it still takes about 25s to reach 100. http://vimeo.com/10335302

40+ mpg easily achievable, front or rear discs + pads are £80 a set, when you wind it up it really gets up and f***s off. I LOLd lots on the way home...the brakes are phenomenal, and the pedal set up is perfect for heal/toe and/or left-foot braking. In short, it's a rally car, built so Suzuki...

Focus was on it's way out, 4 corroded springs at recent MOT and 124k + lots of wear and dings. So...I've been thinking about one for these for about two years now, and last night finally thought "f*** it" why not. Decided on £2k cost-to-change as a limit and hoped for £1k on the Focus...

Is all that 'carbon' standard?

WTF is that ^^^ !!!

Of course it is. Do those doubters really think K-Tec would tell you to take a running jump if they failed the day after you'd fitted them? How often do you receive anything in the form of warranty documentation when buying other car components?

I can't shake this urge. Have you got a picture of the pedals Chris?

It's a MkIV therefore regardless of what it looks like or goes like, it's a turd.

I'm on BT, have been for years. Have a wireless netgear router permanently connected and never switched off. We've never been without service, and the speed is constant. A1 service really, but then I expect that for the price tbh.

Arse. If Sarah wasn't out I'd drive the 50 miles for one of Mick's big'uns.

Nice vids, remind me of why I need to do Cadwell, no other track in the country like it. Looked like a fun tussle with the DC5, the extra power clearly showed. I had a few laps behind a DC2 at Rockingham two weeks ago, 1st one I've ever seen on track and I was a bit disappointed as I was...

I've had mine for 120,000 miles and just over 6 years, and I'm never getting rid of it.

Nice vid, quick!

As above...yes it does. Going from a 45 profile on a 195 width to a 45 section on a 205 width, would be like running a 47.5 profile on a 195 in terms of sidewall height. I'll get me coat.

What pipe's that out back?

I've run mine on 195s, 205s, and even 185s over 120k miles from new...apart from ultimate grip level and a bit of tramlining variance, I can honestly say that I've never noticed a difference in 'handling'. Feedback doesn't vary much, and it still responds as I want it to regardless of what boots...

Just to be clear, jon_r's scrubbing wasn't down to ride height, it was down to cornering load. So the height at which they don't scrub for some, will probably mean they will for others...all depending on driving style? I was impressed by jon being impressed by them and his car looked OK on...

Aye. He should have only paid 50% as that's how much track he used.

85mph

Clart bobbing about next to me on this one. Quickest session I caught on camera. :approve: SvWbGQtkaGE

I've waited 6 years to come across one of these on track, nice, just a shame we only got a few laps before he cooled down. -iOoHinq_kg

So the owner said anyway. Judging by its pace I'd say he's about right. IsUMJ_6vm7c

Sony DCR-HC18E on a B. Hague headreast strut mount for the forward facing, and on a B. Hague suction mount stuck to the inside rear window for the rear facing shots. Keep trying to justify getting an HD camera, but I'd have to get a bigger HDD in the desktop to cope etc. etc. etc...so can't...

I've got one of your head bobbing about to upload as well.

My buddy, he loves the adrenalin, but craps himself at every wiggle or close shave...so the nervousness means he never shuts up :quiet:

Plus he's got LSD equipped and has a short ratio box. At he top of 4th I reeled him in, but by that time we were braking and entering the next turn. Keeping up with Weeman's shed was p*** easy though tbh, I was only on 1/4 throttle.

Part two... KadDhBoJ_1k

You were in with him on that session were you? Huge fun :approve:

These things make my Cup seem like a floaty boat...old skool lovliness at its best. 2rxzCAO46aI Enjoy.

LOL It was an out lap. On a day when the track had very poor grip all round. With mismatched (F/R) compounds. Plus if I went balls out he'd have not stayed in shot for very long ;)
