Nah, I'm on a Car Limits day on a local Airfield trying out my refurbed, freshly cambelted, freshly sprung, but otherwise f***ed looking Cup.

Ooh, nice for an old'un. Wish mine looked that good.

Are you trying it right after the needle gets up to temp.? Or are you giving it a good 20 min run before trying it? IIRC the sensor/trigger for it is based on oil not water temp. as displayed on the dash, and oil temp takes a while longer to reach optimum.

Yep, that's mine, yellow sunstrip. You really need to come have a look over it and I'll take you out for a spin.

Drive it hard only occasionally? That's a crime! My Cup is on approx. 125k and has been royally spanked and relentlessly tracked/sprinted from new by me. Apart from servicing it every 6k instead of the factory recommended 12k, it's never had any special treatment and soaks the abuse up...

Nothing wrong at all with that copper's riding. As seb says above, roadcraft is a wonderful thing that's sorely misunderstood by the uneducated. Evo driver did seem to abide by the rules most of the time, but entering a 40 limit at over a ton before even thinking of slowing down is a but...

Count me out on Sunday, having a long overdue day with my girls as wifey's out netballing. Will expect pics though!

LOL very small world. If you fancy a quick blat out in mine or want to talk over the finer points of French car ownership (!) PM me.

Yup, hasn't moved in about three weeks now. Still trying to muster up the enthusiasm (and cash) to get it over to Rentech for some long overdue TLC.

Another Sussex member here, I'm just along the 259 in Middleton. Welcome to the club, hope you find what you're looking for.

This. The main thing you need is a steady consistent brake pedal position, so that regardless of how hard you're braking, the pedal's always in the same position relative to the throttle. The best way to do that is braided lines and a good bleed. Then just get practicing on either rolling...

Nope, none at all apart from when it was parked up. It may get a showing in the full length Haynes feature film.

Ollie82 in action...vs my Ignis. Not fair really as I had dry track :rasp:

Started pulling some video together, as usual will take an age to edit, so in the meantime here's some stills I lifted and a short video of a very graceful 172 Cup ;)

I have about 2,000 gamer points, my best mate has something like 45,000. The test of a driving game for me is if he can win as an experienced gamer, or if I can win as an experienced driver. On F1, I hand him his arse. First time I turned it on we jumped onto a familiar track - he'd been at it...

It did didn't it? They only showed a short part of the lap before it slowed right down. If you listen carefully to the engine you can hear it rev so far, and then it misses/stutters around the last few corners. LOL

Pic? I caught if on film. Got loads to sit and pick through and edit...PM me your email and I'll send you all I got of you.

F*** me that is proper fast.

The clue is in the video title... 2x Clio Cup...

Here's a short one, no cars and no marshalls meant I could try a few new angles...

Just like Webber after the airborne incident at Valencia this year. Having said that, if there was gravel there he could have been launched over the safety fence and out of the circuit as he was doing 170 something at the time :eek:

Not strictly true. Looking at the Bathurst incident, if the gravel trap was tarmac (as is almost the norm on F1 circuits now) instead of digging in and rolling, he could have simply locked all four wheels, and the momentum would have carried him in a straight line until he stopped. They've...

I got a shot of you doing the sideways thing, very graceful ;). Video clip to follow...

If price is a factor you can't ignore the £3-5k saving you'd get if you got an Ignis. Oi! Nice car though. Was on my shopping list but the miser in me ruled the day.

Idiots tbh, as if Codies can influence how long MS take to approve the patch. On the PS3, has it done everything they said it would?

Nice, very nice. These are getting few and far between now. Good find.

That looks good, who cares about the heatsoak. If you're happy with how it drives, and more importantly how it sounds, that's all that matters. Shame you couldn't make Haynes today...I could have done with some support LOL.

Saner made it back OK then? Such a shame...organises the day, then has to leave early to get home and beat the fading light. Good to see everyone as usual. Nice to put forum names to faces...I now know who some of you are!!! The Ignis continues to impress me, handled all I could throw at...
