    Road tyres that will last a track day or two?

    Especially when pushing on & you wear out the mich mans head on side of tyre, side walls are too soft. Very good road tyre/wet track tyre but gets destroyed by RS2's on road & track

    Road tyres that will last a track day or two?

    Hankook Rs2's or Federal RSR's. Both are road legal so stick on car drive to circuit & back again. Leave mine on from March till it gets too cold. Done a good few road miles & will be 4 trackdays since April still wearing even & plenty of tread to go. My avatar is my tyres.

    £600-800 on a TV

    Panny plasma everytime for me. @ work we have all sorts of makes of screen from 32" to 65" & over the pannys are excellent. Don't get too anal about pictures etc as the avforums do (so of them look for faults i just watch the match) as everyones taste is different ;)

    Car Insurance Premiums - WTF?

    The claim culture has started to bite ! Us old bstards should be alright;) Also when your motor reaches certain age panels etc become rare hence costs spiral.

    200 Brake Problems

    They do tend to glaze with lots of town driving & frequent wheel washing. A trip into the countryside ;) usually clears that up:D

    Audi RS4 - Daytona Grey Pearl

    What tyres have people put on a 200/197?

    I binned the CS3's & replaced with Hankook Rs2's, runs rings round the competition. Next time i'm trying another unknown make federal RSR's as these are control tyre for some race series & getting good reviews.

    Castrol Magnatec 5/30 fully synth any good?

    5 was due service so took along to race prep company & they used the above. The oil i used for last 6 months was Shell helix Ultra & it was well dirty so did it's job of flushing out crap! There race cars use this as 5's have the Ford 2.0 unit in them. Total price for service £100, included...

    197 vs 182?

    Warren my 197 was quicker than my Trophy over my test route by quiet a margin. Mainly down to better brakes ala lot more confidence where it counts & far more compliant on the edge. But that was then. Now i'm loving RWD. :)

    197 vs 182?

    Just get PF pads, Hankook RS2's & take brave pills;) Very good, well balanced car so stick with it. Going back to a 182 you would loathe the brakes, g/box etc etc.

    R888's

    Soon though you will get bored, i did. I found outright lap times became boring & moved onto less grippy tyres to have more FUN! Controlling slides & drifts, getting the basics correct was a lot more enjoyable & taught more car control. Also sooner rather than later you may experience the...

    Brakes......again...

    Your wasting your time they have never heard of them;) Bit like mentioning Rs2's 18 months ago. They like the 'sheep' option :D

    Would you spend £3000 on mods for your clio track car?

    Do a trackday as is, then assess what needs doing. Typical CS spend 000's & never go near a track ;)

    MORE POWER - Clio 200

    I'd start by changing pads to PF or Carbotec, brake later with better retardation. Then contact one of the race teams & get suspension, camber, castor, alignment & corner weight, if need be, sorted. It don't need any more power, just needs to be able to carry more corner speed, if you...
