Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread Fix it. Get them up! You are bringing this on the 9th?

Look at your speedo and the numbers around the edge. Where the needle is resting before it starts moving - is it at 0mph or 10mph? You start the clock when the needle starts moving (which it doesn't do until you are doing 10mph), so how can you time a 0-60 run, when you are doing 10mph before...

That does not matter. You are doing 10mph before the speedo needle starts moving, so to start your 'clock' at that point is totally wrong. By your reckoning my car does 0-62 in 5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BE4edzLua8 It doesn't.

Correct! Wrong! The speedo does not start moving until you are doing about 10mph already. So your car might do 10-57mph in 9.9s, but 0-62 (65ish on the speedo) takes about 13.

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread Very nice indeed.

That Ignis must be a right laugh.

Put a pic up? I might make you an offer.

I've done that from new as well. Also, I get my brake fluid changed pretty much every second service/12,000 miles, but that's the only thing that I find I need to do over a normal maintenance schedule.

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread NVH - noise, vibration, harshness. It subdues them all.

Before a trackday I... brim the tank check and top up the oil check and top up everything else visually look the tyres over for bulges, cuts, nails etc. adjust tyre pressures take everything out of the car That's it. No special preparation, no special extra drops of oil, no extra expense...

You did, and I benefited from said trial :approve:

Great meet. Did you actually go Jon? The picture of your Datsun is devoid of enthusiasts.

I've had two tool boxes, 4 track wheels with tyres, trolley jack, a-full-weekend's-worth-of-shite, and a passenger all in the back with no rubbing. Does that count? ;)

For the record 205/45/16 tyres of any description will fit onto a standard Cup's wheels and perform without rubbing. Ever.

When it finally sorts itself out (the market) I won't hesitate in buying an HD DVD/Blu-ray player. So long as the increase in quality is there going from DVD to HD it'll be worth it. Since I've had Sky HD it's taken me a while to grasp and truly appreciate the picture quality of HD. Like SD, a...

Sounds like you might be greening... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=161043

I'm happy waiting too. I've got plenty of HD movies on Sky until market forces ultimately decide. You seem a bit passionate about it dk?

A number of both road and 'ring users have had these fitted. I've never heard of anyone even mentioning the slightest warp. I suggest you'll be fine.

Could you manage a 300? Too ridiculously small?

Of everything I have done, if I was starting from scratch again, I'd do the decat thing first before anything else.

That all looks nice fella.

LOL What diameter is your wheel Chris?

You Chris, have the best pipe on Cliosport.

Mine too. She didn't even complain as I hit rewind to watch it again for the 3rd time.

That's odd - I thought you'd love that high-pitched squeal.

That's how I saw it. The automotive equivalent of 'natural selection' - only the strongest survive. Stunning advert - very well put together.

I've done mine every 6k from new - just to be on the safe side and keep things fresh. I never thought it would need any more frequent than that seeing as Renault will warrant the engine and gearbox so long as every 12k is adhered to.

As discussed Chris...very odd. If it helps any here's a pic of some Pagid Blues with spring clips attached... Maybe the ones you have are actually a different pattern that just happens to fit in (very badly though)?

I tend to give them a few high speed firm long stops to get them bedded in at the start, then take it easy for a few hundred miles, trying not to get them too hot. After that it's rock and roll.

That may be, but to my untrained novice eye you have excelled [sp?]. Oh dear. What a muppet.
