    Drop in 197 value

    Is a Trophy worth the extra 2-3k over a 172 cup???

    When Trophy was new, yes easy decision. Now unsure as all 5yrs old, due susp rebuild, belts etc etc so 2-3K could easily become 4K. Also after 197 would not go back.

    New brakes- no biting force :(

    Think i've got the xp8's but even the race teams don't do the bedding as my mates leading the championship & he looks after my motor ;)

    New brakes- no biting force :(

    I don't get the bedding in pads with hard stops etc? I fit new pads & then drive for a week or so, by then pedal is back to firm & no probs at all, not even on track. I have Carbotecs standard disc & fluid & was on track within a week, 15-25 laps of Mallory no worries.

    Going back to road tyres after being on track tyres for seven months.

    Well seeing as weather has turned i removed the RS2's & Pro race & replaced with standards & new PE2's. Lost turn in bite on dry roads & encountering some slight roll possibly due to 205/45/17 now & was 215/40/17. Got Donington this Fri & weather forcast is wet so thought PE2's would be safer. :D

    Megane r26 tyre recommendation... 235/40/R18's

    I have the rs2's & very good value & playful on track. Not sure what your looking for but have a look at Federal RSR's as these will be the next must have tyres. Are used as control tyre in several race series, where 888's were used due to price. You heard it here first ;)

    Buy some used wheels as they will get abused. Spend your money on brake pads, tyres & tuition;)

    TRack wheel weight?

    Re: TRack wheel weigh? Trust me you will no notice a difference. Going from 16 to 15 it's mainly the cheaper tyres that everyone does it for! So you save a few grams here & there but the driver tops the scales at 15 stone, really going to make a difference. If your going for the...
