If you're wanting a site where you can upload full-resolution photos and have clients login to buy them or whatever - you'll struggle with wordpress to be honest It's a blogging package at heart and while there are a plethora of plugins to twist it into other things - it'll only twist so far...

There's some fairly nice plugins for wordpress now if you use it for photos - check my site out www.phil-barker.com :)

That's weird!! ET43's sit further in than ET37's dont they? Which 4 pots have you got Fletch - I'm after some for mine next year and I've got ET43 2118's

Bizarrely Chris 4-pots will lock up less Because of the increase in surface area and bigger pistons they are more progressive so you can push them further before locking the wheels up :)

Ahhhhhh THAT'S why I never see the benefit I brake hard on the straight - come off the brakes then turn in with a very neutral amount of throttle on and after I pass the apex I start to gradually apply power and decrease steering - that was purely the way I was taught to drive But if I do what...

Dave - I just do not see the point in heel+toe'ing I can do it - spent a weekend playing around the local roundabouts and dual carriageways and I can sort of see the point from matching revs - but if I'm aggresively down-shifting i'll blip the throttle anyway. It doesn't stop understeer or make...

Nick - they have worn completely evenly When I ran 30psi hot they shredded the outside half of the tyres and the inside were like new I'm running 205/50's if that makes any difference

I'm looking forward to doing Combe - will be my first track next year with the bodies on I think :)

Whiteline ARB FTW ;)

Yeah - I don't understand people that move into houses near a race track and then winge about the noise Duh! Kinda ruins it for everyone :(

Yeah it has been rolling slightly onto the side wall - but that's not always a bad thing :p This was taken under hard cornering to the right Tyre looks nice and flat on the tarmac to me ;)

The more built up tracks such as cadwell really frown upon it I'm suprised you got away with it at Brands Hatch - they're getting a load of grief about noise to the point where they were pulling some of us over last month and telling us not to let tyres squeal!!

I upped them a bit to around 25psi when it started raining - but in the dry on a sticky track I found 24/22 worked well I was also advised to do the front higher due to the engine weight? But that could be wrong It's all a learning curve :D Once the throttle bodies are mapped I'm gonna get a...

No me neither Apart from looking like the car isn't mapped properly and wasting a s**t load of fuel - you'll set every noise sensor off on track and destroy your exhaust LOL Nice for turning heads on the street though

God I hate people who email and then winge when they don't get a reply straight away I've emailed RS Tuning today and will be emailing K-Tec in a bit - but the reason I'm emailing is my enquiries aren't urgent and they're busy companies so I like the fact that they can reply to emails in their...

It will - you'll get black flagged Mate of mine has because of his "pops and bangs" map

Jamie - how do you work that out? The few calculators I'd seen online when I put the weight of the clio in said 24/22psi when hot I tried them at 30/28 and the car just wouldn't corner - it understeered all the time Softer settings really helped Northloop - I'm considering looking to see if I...

Just watched a rather lovely set of videos on K-Tecs site that go through the full ITB installation and setting up the Gen90 Must admit the Gen90 does look nice and I love the fact that they give you an adaptor so the new TPS connects into the renault loom too But I think i'll stick with the...

My ARB has 3 settings - it made a hell of a difference going from middle to hardest The rainsports are good in the wet but I find in the dry they overheat and go VERY soft (like you can sink your finger 1cm into the rubber lol) I was running 24psi front and 22psi back - hot Probably a bit low...

Which other thing? lol

Yeah it's just all the warning lights on the dash and the renault ecu/wiring loom sitting there doing nothing - makes my OCD twitch :(

I don't think the car will ever be going back to standard - it has a welded in cage and I've cut all the brackets out for carpet/seats etc.. LOL I'll be keeping it as a track car for 5 years and then it will probably be scrapped

I think the only reason I keep leaning towards the OMEX is the software is free - anyone can map it - and it's very proven hardware The Gen90 and EC-1 are relatively new and they're still locking down who can map it When you have one of the top mappers in the UK across the road from you with a...

The gen90 could be unplugged and sold with the Jenveys at some point in the future without having to replace the loom. It's a "neater" setup IMHO

I think I'd get a Gen90 over an EC-1 purely from the point of view that it just plugs straight into the wiring loom that's already on the car and controls the dash etc... EC-1 I'd have to get the CAN interface and get it all setup to work which is a bit more money I don't want to spend lol I'll...

I think it's a trust thing - I know RST have a great reputation and the Gen90 seems like a good ecu - but I've always used my mate at G&G Motorsport for everything car wise. Some of the maps I've seen him "fix" from other mappers makes me shudder Plus I'd get mates rates Whereas if I have to go...

You see I'm leaning heavily towards using the Omex600 - I know it's old tech but it does a good job and as I've said before my mate here in Lincoln is a fantastic mapper and used to supply Omex so know's his s**t The Race Technology Dash2 has an Omex600 interface cable and the dash+cable is...

I've been told to get more grip at the front I need to stiffen up the rear - but as the billsteins aren't adjustable I can't do that I'm really f**king pissed off that I bought the billies - I wish I'd gone for KW V2's or something instead Maybe next year they'll get binned for something...

The passenger mirror is mostly covered up - but it doesn't bother me as I use the rear view mostly Dave - I know I KNOW - I need driving lessons. I just dont get the heal & toe at all And the understeer - yup. Tyres squeel everywhere Those were both early sessions - Later in the afternoon I...

Following on from my ITB/Omex thread I have a choice to make I'm fitting Jenveys next month and they come with an omex600 and loom I'm not keen on the thought of having a dashboard lit up like a christmas tree, and I'm not keen on having the standard loom and ecu just sat there doing virtually...
