Do your research, spend plenty of time looking at cars, get someone to mechanically check it over before buying. I've (touches wood) never had any major issues with any of the second hand cars I've bought.

OMG, a 2nd hand car suffering wear and tear? Whatever next?! What do people do to these cars? I've had 5 RS's, current one is the oldest (x reg). The only non-consumable cost (ie brakes, tyres etc) thats gone is the aux belt pulley. And that's despite 25k miles a year, about 9 track days over...

Any pics?

The cold weather makes more of a difference than the fuel used. I stick with vpower/bp super as the cleaning additives have been shown to work.

All policies I know of allow 3rd party useage, but only in an emergency. Limited mileage policy?

t**t <3 xx

Trophy suspension settings are listed here http://www.readyforthetrack.co.uk/tag/hr/ Are the figures for toe-out on front, 1mm total, or 1mm each side?

Bloody hell that's cheap.

I don't want to, but I like that. What's the spec?

Re: All Racing Inferno 182's on the Forum I hate Inferno, but rabbit21's is the best I've ever seen.

Think mine was £180ish at Birchdown.

The Trophy doesn't have an electric rack?

No it doesn't FFS. The optimum point is around 6.5k. I give up.

True, but the tyres he's running are woeful!

Why are people so unwilling to try anything new? Here's how the tyres ended up in the massive German tyre test. In Germany annual tyre tests are the norm. Auto Zeitung is Germanys oldest and most respected trade magazine and they have just published their 2009 tyre test. The results are...

The optimum revs to change up is different for each gear. On standard engines power falls away after 6.5k iirc. I love the notion of "it said so in the manual, so it must be true". In the brochure the steering wheel is called leather.

Discontinued though, once current stock runs out that's it.

There are several tyres out there that outperform the Michelin pe2 on the Clio. The 2 best I've used have been the Goodyear f1 gsd3 and the hankook v12 evo, which are roughly half the price of pe2 and grippier in all conditons. Pzero aren't bad, but from memory wore quite quickly. T1r aren't one...

Everytime I've had springs fitted, I've been advised to have the alignment checked. Makes sense IMO.

V12's, good idea!!

It's not a shiflt light. A shift light activates at the optimum change point. This activates just before the limiter. You'll go quicker changing up slightly before the light.

100% won't happen once they bed down. Have patience.

Touche

Probably had your GHD's running through the lighter socket.

Welcome to jump in fella.

They are rare, but you're not going to get a massive premium. If it can be done cheaply get it back on the road, if not, break it.

Fuckabout. You at oulton on the RS day?

Eibach's for lowering. Good quality, proven.

Have you checked it's connected the right way round??

Check tyre pressures, then the condition of your dampers, then get alignment done.
