sweet. I thought most of the holes would have still been there. didn't think renault made two different shells. I assumed they had been lazy like when the made the 182 and just cut the spare wheel well out and welded a plate over the top.lol.

servicing is expensive and running costs are shocking imo. Big engine for you. Still cheap though. Track car anyone ;)

fair enough Ian. Is it as simple as flip things round?

it might be due to him using it for rally, so it could be a blue book issue.

that's what I was thinking Mike.

sounds gash imo, pipes are too big. At least the MX5 sounded nice and Jap.

you'll feel really bad if that actually happens ;)

Sad times :(

it might just have enough power for that. Turn on lights etc and see how long it lasts ;)

Didnt realise you were converting it to RHD. What messing do you need to do with the drivetrain/steering etc? I presume the hole for the steering is still there?

Lol Phil, you on commission or something.;) So XP16's are the way to go then. will my wheels/paintwork be ok?

I noticed that. Thought he meant to do it :S

getting there mate. Glad she fired up ok in the end :) Red looks good on the bump strips. How extreme you going with the colour scheme. Red bonnet ;)

Word on the street is that this is the case. TDF have been running theirs for ages now. Graphs going to be up today then mate?

What did you buy sorry?

What's the price on these? Different isn't always a bad thing ;)

Booked and looking forward to it :)

It sounds like a tractor. The mx5 sounded well though

I'm puzzled by it too Dave. I've had quite a bit of tuition on track now. I was taught to trail brake into corners, which felt good from a stablility point of view, but brakes were still inconsistent. I don't slam the pedal down either, and the bite doesn't seem to be there all the time. Saying...

:dead: should have changed the title to chavving up a 172 ;) Oh and stick with the 15's. Once you lower it they will fill the arches better.

not good. All three of them? only two cars aren't there?

no worries mate. Heal/toe is braking while blipping throttle and down shifting into corners. If you don't do this i'd assume your full foot will be on the pedal, not just half of it.

You stopping track days all together mate? Thought you were doing what Jord is and upgrading.

I do. Could this be an issue?

The things we do for a quiet life :(

Makes sense, mixture of the two

Thought the majority were carbon

Lol that would look cool. I'll make a hole in the rear liner and stick the dyson in there :D

I know, I know. I want my cake blah blah. Ceramic might be the better way to go I guess. Better temperature control. Plus porkies are fitted with them and I doubt they want messed up paint ;) I think lotus run these standard. Might have been Paul that mentioned it

Didn't realise they are ceramic. Explains the cost of them :( you got a bargain mate. Do you have full coding for them? I'm sure pads from other cars would fit
