Err...

Leave it on...and we'll find you, and kill you.

Avon rise into Quarry is uphill and very very quick, with braking zone over one crest, and the blind approach to Quarry also over a crest. Apart from that it's preety flat.

A buddy of mine lives in Cove...he's got a RB + stripes as well so you might see him flying around the area.

I just watched that again...those things are seriously f***in' quick.

Very mean.

Which is why I took them out as well.

Ahhh...you were that silver Ph-Q that roared off toward Tesco?

I just took my fogs out, works for me ok.

Nope. 1/4 miling is the past time of Satan.

They did this on Vroom Vroom - with their Astra estate...each week it was run up the strip after a cheap 'mod' i.e. stripping it out one week, big cone filter the next, and upping tyre pressures. When they pumped the tyres up to something like 40psi I think they took 0.1s or 0.2s off the 1/4 time.

Tight.

Brilliant.

That green E-type shot shows perfectly why Avon Rise into Quarry makes me pucker up every time.

Woop, woop. Spotted at last. Where?

I can't comment on max discs as I've never run them (standard HC for me), but I've run both PF97s and Blues. The Blues lasted 30k miles including track action and the dust wasn't too bad. The PF97s lasted 15k with less track activity and from the bump-strips down, my car is still caked in...

Amazing how much difference just a grill change makes. Impressive.

172 wheels win.

I might try that, sounds cool.

I'm generally not a fan of 'style' mods, but what that does to the front makes me hard.

Down boy, good mod, very good mod.

I just did a straight swap...4 completely f***ed turinis, kerbed, bubbling and caked in 4 years of PF97 brake dust - for 4 half decent OZ F1s with competition wets on. Best thing I did.

That's all I was going to say. The rest is true though...103k miles of continual abuse on mine...and it still never misses a beat. LOL at people owning RS Clios and never taking them above 5k :rolleyes:

Bollo*ks. Now when I do mine orange to match the wheels/logos everyone's going to think you're my hero. Looks good though ;)

Yup. I think my F1s look best out of all of mine.

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread Nice work Jay. I'm LOL at that spring dropping out!

LOL - the tractor look (if you don't bother slammin' it)... Drives just fine...a little softer/more squidgy...but you've really got to be driving at 11/10ths to notice. Worth it for the increased variety of rubber available alone. The cheap price is a bonus.

Ignore me...I am being pedantic. My response wouldn't have been so 'sharp' had I not been, in a slightly aggressive manner, branded an ill-informed oik by Steve. I know they're re-buildable, and quite cheaply too.

LOL, I wasn't misinformed and I'm not an oik!!! I mention about not being able to afford to REPLACE them, and I get abuse followed by a link to a thread showing how they can cost effectively be RE-BUILT. Let's see...how many people get standard dampers rebuilt once they start leaking? None...

I'd be an ill informed oik if I had said "you won't be able to afford to get them re-built"...but I didn't did I? Wasn't the search to find someone who could re-build them was because of the extorionate cost to replace them? Please read what's written before responding.
