I've got a set of TSW 6-spoke something for track, and got some Ph-Q F1s now. Need one more set then I'll have slicks, intermediates, and wets to play with.
I can honestly say that on road or track I can't really tell the difference. I suppose I could say it feels slightly 'softer' at turn-in...
Stickier tyres and improved brakes.
Those two things alone will give you more (if you have even a smidgen of driving ability that is) than any engine mods, on both road and track.
Tuition is literally worth its weight in gold, and you don't need to be on the limit to be able to take an...
Back is the general consensus, but...
How often do you have to brake in a straight line or turn around corners?
How often do you have to worry about the back end swinging around?
If you do the first more (which you will), then on the front is where the better tyres should be in my opinion...
I talked to Dave about that when I picked it up...that'll be something for the new year. Seats next though, that's where the next biggest gain will come from.
Almost did, but reading more about it, and the scales used by race teams, I really was wasting my time so gave up :o
That's why I'm...
I got one of these recently - Sony DDW-890
1,000 watts, Dolby Digital 6.1, sounds stunning. Best thing is I can turn it right down when wife/daughter are in bed, but even at the lowest levels, you can still hear everything clearly.

Only seems like a small amount, but the change in charcter of the car is HUGE :approve:
Louder, coarser, more fidgety, tyre whine, exhaust drone, and quicker (obviously) - goodbye to 8.8 kgs of waste...
Also, a big thumbs up to Dave at Rentech for his handywork with a few cable ties :D...
^^^ That's a good call. We could put on a show...how not to drive at a trackday :evil:
Even better. That would make an absolute mint.
I'll drive it?
Please.
My plans are...
Remove door cards
Remove Renault seats
Remove Renault steering wheel
Fit super lightweight race seats with harnesses
Fit suede race wheel
Buy new suede gloves
That's it untill the business starts performing, then it'll be swiftly followed by coilover fitting and full setup...
