Beige leather in that? FFS.

I can offer no rational explanation for my next comment but...I think they ^^^ look alright.

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread You don't f*** about do you?!?!?!? Nice one Jay :approve:

You're joking? From the back, all I see is this...not good at all.

Amen.

38 and driving a 1.6 Zetec Focus mostly these days. Whenever I can though, I drive my 172 Cup.

Mine including the subframe/mount was 22 kgs.

Nothing wrong with that. How much fuel you use on a motorway is only slightly affected by how fast you cruise at...what really makes it drink is accelerating. Your run back...light traffic? Constant speed maintained?

How are you finding the Parada 2s Steve?

Beast.

I'd love one of those. Properly.

Do you mean rotational inertia loss? Surely it would depend on how far out from the centre the saving's made? No idea on the calculation though.

I did one on Sunday. It came out s**t. Back to the drawing board.

Nice work.

I've just been looking at pics...is getting it lower that important to me, if it's resisting roll from the springs anyway? Is a shorter version of the sportline available? Can I chop some off a la Overhaulin'?

OK, Eibach Sportlines it seems to be then. One size fits all, or are there options on ride height, spring rate etc.? I should have made it clear I'm not wanting to do this for looks, so how much it lowers it by, or how it will sit afterwards is irrelevant. What I need to minimise is the...

It attracts WAY too much attention. If it was track only they'd stay, but I can't stop driving it on the road, and I get every f***** in the world wanting to have a pop.

I need to do something about my tractor, and as Sarah's being made redundant soon, spunking north of £700 on the full monty going down the coilover route isn't an option. So, what springs are available that work with standard dampers? Standard on road feel doesn't matter, I'd want them as...

LOL, a new look is coming.

Hairdryer it is then, I can't wait to get peeling tomorrow.

I got the ITG filter for about £40 I think, and the airbox itself driect from Renault was about £50.

+1 His driving is shockingly bad at times...and that combined with the bad luck don't do him any favours whatsoever.

I love it. They rev to 8k don't they? Do they have a Vtec-yo type of kick, or is it just ballistically linear all the way?

Stanley knife blade and lots of time or is there a quicker way?

I'm missing the updates tbh.

Phew. Better.

1/2 inch brush, tin of black smoothrite, 10 minutes per wheel, done.

I think it's normal for the pads to rub/drag slightly - my wheels spin freely but I always get a rhythymic squeak...squeal...squeak...squeal... when crawling in traffic from the noisy track pads - you never notice it normally as road pads are meant to be silent. Did you give yours a decent few...

I'm impressed by the sheer amount of thought and effort that's gone into making the rear lights look like a seamless integral part of the design. W***er.

When I used to run an Origin b2 my speedo was 3 mph optimistic at 30 mph, and 3 mph optimistic at 110 mph. Never verified higher than that so I probably hit a genuine 120-121 in 4th.
