So if you buy some Cobra Evolutions [side mounted] and some Cobra subframes - will there be a place for the side harness bolt to bolt on?????

Beware though - they take alot of bedding in compared to other makes and can feel quite greasy for the first couple of hundred miles. So take it easy.

Superb. I have them on the VX.... They work good in the dry... on the limit they are very progressive so you have more control. Side walls are softer compared to Bridge Pots.... but that noticeable. They are also very good in the wet IMO. Im getting a set for the 172 as soon as I get it.

You still have to inform the insurance company though.

The reason why the steering is lighter - is because the diameter of the wheel has decreased thus needing more leverage to turn. Perfectly normal.

Go for something RWD - much more rewarding.

Yep Williams your correct.... split open like a coconut. Some pics Ive seen on here of some roll cage installs have been really worrying..... namely the ones where the bars run down the rear passengers seats.... yes... whilst the seats are still installed - not stripped!!!!! I sincerely hope...

1144's are great on the VX. Although Pagids are the best.

What are the insurance implications on having one? I thought that most will void your policy due to the horrendous effects they have in a RTA.... without a helmet on. You will probably have to get a specialised insurance - plus wear a helmet when your driving around. This is what is...

Nice - although the Trophy Turini's have more or less the same sort of offset as the std Ph1 rims. The Cup Turini's are bout 5mm further out. Hence the lower width rubber needed for lowering. Im also going to get an aggressive geo done - as I'll mostly be using it on the track.

How much would you put yours on the market for?

How much does a full interior sell for???? i.e.... 2 front seats, steering wheel, rear seat bench, rear boot trim... etc. Thanks Chris

Good tip Pep. I've bought some 2 x with tyres 2 x without. I'll buy some 195 Toyo T1-R's.... They worked well on my VX.

Do they scrub due to the extra 5mm track each side??? Or does an agressive geo sort that out due to lots of positive camber? Thanks Chris

Turini's

Its not a matter of liking the look of them - Im buying mine because of ergonomics and purpose.

Im having this dilema but more of a 16/15 issue for the track. I wouldnt go 17's for track work. So im going to try both 15" and 16" out on the track - and see which is best!

Black Anthracite Lowered HTH's

AMM failure will be evident soon bud .... hope you have saved some pennies - its not cheap to replace.

The Momo one on my VX fitted your hands perfectly:- Ive got this for my 172:- Very ergonomic and finished in tactile suede. Regarding airbags --- I have had a nasty accident flipping the car and the airbags didnt go off - I was OK. But - I would recommend getting harnesses if you...

Im really really confused now.... just had this from Demon Tweeks.... When asked if I could get some side mounts and subrfame for the 172.... Hello Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately there is not a specific subframe to accept a side mounted seat, directly into your car. We can...

Hi mate! Im really really confused now.... just had this from Demon Tweeks.... When asked if I could get some side mounts and subrfame for the 172.... Hello Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately there is not a specific subframe to accept a side mounted seat, directly into your car...

I know!!!!! ----- This seat mallarkey is very expensive!!!! The cheapest option is to just buy the Cobra monaco's for £175 then buy the mounts... job done! But when I went to look at them they were made very poorly of some cheap materials.... emphasised after getting out of my CTR's...

Demon tweeks' Cobra Side mounts are £45..... cheaper! The subframes seem to be expensive though ..... Fred Yozza ---- Ive sent you an email!

More like they are loosing business to them!

Just had an email from Cobra. [regarding mounting some Evo side mounted seats] Are these price right???? Hi, Thank you for your recent e-mail. We manufacture 2 different versions of a subframe to suit the Renault Clio Mk3. We make a subframe that comes complete with runners to slide the...

Oh - just read your reply Pep. Looks like I need Cobra specific sidemounts.

Hmm .... my mounts are :- 1] 420mm 2] 420mm 3] 300mm The std clio mounts seem very wide!!!!

Your a Star..... I owe you one!

Bloody hell - I thought my 106 GTI was low back in the day!
