I use R1Rs on my 182 road car and we use them for wet weather on the track car (otherwise running slicks). I love them but in dry track work we can cook the R1Rs

That's what she said...

Spotted a black gold 182 outside halfords at about 4pm. Standard exhaust and wheels but quite low, maybe apex springs? Needed a wash!

I go through stages... I think it's just me getting old. I look at all the Mercs in the car park at work and just think "I wonder what it's like starting a journey knowing you'll finish it..."

Team dynamics prorace 1.2s are light and cheap

Rear right wheel bearing case is broken in two and just smushed together Rear wheels need new spacers to bring them in 5mm so they stop hitting the arches Exhaust hangers are f**ked Need some new wiper blades ​

Was at about 11:30 on the 11th, we had a cheeky little run before I backed off and you continued with a navy beamer.

I'm currently running toyo R1Rs in 205/50/r15 all round. Absolutely love them to be honest, in some ways I wish I had a bit less grip so I could move the rear around a bit more at sensible speeds. They also look awesome, with a tread width of ~215 on a 7 inch wheel they really bulge out!

You came past me on one of the round abouts that's diverted so I tried to give chase but traffic got in the way :(

F1 cars don't have horns! Some people are so silly...

Hi gents, Just hoping to get a quick consensus on a brake failure for a phase 1, the ABS came on and pretty much took away all braking, the pedal vibrated slightly but close to nothing. I'm planning to check the encoder rings ASAP but I'm away till Friday unfortunately, are the ABS...

Adds character mate

Cracking job! When is your first target outing? Keep us updated as I don't know how the brakes are going to hold out on our turbo, how did you find the standard set up?

We've filed the edge of callipers on our uni race cars before, one of our wheels has a nice .2mm groove in it from a bit of interference contact. As you say just monitor it and you'll be fine. I'd probably just put a bit of hight temp paint on edge of the calliper, small blob should do. It...

Fingers crossed for no warp/flex in the wheels!

I think one will do for me, cheers for the heads up. ​We should have sweepstakes on Tony's reaction before he finds these threads.

Make sure you put a gloss coat on it to double check how smooth it is! I made this mistake with my car so I have a couple of small bonnet dents showing through the wrap =(

Just read 2 pages of comments and nothing. Can a mod update the title if pics get uploaded?

Nope, no purple. I think the purplish tint on the windscreen (maybe an AR coating?) makes the car look a bit purple.

Thank you!

​Nope it's a wrap

I know it's been covered before but, I see loads of Clios with the harnesses going straight down from the seats to the rear seatbelt mounts and it scares the s**t out of me. Formula Student is really lax and our cars wouldn't stand a chance at passing MSA but even we have to be strict on...

I'll give them a ring on Monday then, nothing to loose I suppose. link please? Cheers for the heads up

It's black on the V5, was wrapped white before I wrapped it grey. It's classed as a temporary change which the V5 has no way of logging unfortunately. I might register it over the summer when I have more time because I have no intention of unwrapping it but we will see.

When it was wrapped white I phone Admiral and asked them if they about wraps, they had no idea what it was so I asked them how much extra it was to change the colour of the car with a sticker and the bloke said they had no mention of car colour on their records.

Was a grand, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Phase 1's really grow on people! Looks awesome.

205/50/r15 tyre, ET48.5 with 20mm front and 15mm rear spacers, standard camber, sportlines on a 182 FF.

Naughty! Cheers for the comments! The rear lights will haunt me a bit longer I'm afraid!
