    New Member-Expect Silly Questions!

    The Dynamique interior was on the 182 Cups. The all original 89kgs lighter 172 Cup had a unique Mossa Grey cloth interior...front seats the same as all the rest but cloth not leather covers, and no side airbags (toooooooo heavy ;) )

    New Member-Expect Silly Questions!

    The + & - points are relative to what you want from it. If you want a totally focussed driving experience with not much in the way of so called luxuries for little initial outlay and cheap running costs thereafter, get a 172 Cup - I've done 84k in mine from new and still grin from ear to ear...

    Nurburgring Efforts *NWS*

    Re: Nurburgring efforts. Nice pics Steve. Maybe stick NWS in the title? Gloves are gay BTW ;)

    The ultimate keyboard

    Ooh, nice. Can't think of a reason why I'd need it, but I want it.

    Which 15"wheels for track use?

    If you want cheap wheels, you want to buy these from me... They're straight, true, have no cracks, and could be yours for a bargain price after this weekend once I get the tyres taken off. They're up in the "For Sale" section now... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=223938

    Tyres for the track

    A539's rock on track. They're progressive at their limits, and when they do start to move about, it's all very calm as it happens. I ran 3 or 4 sets of these on road and track in my fisrt 18 months with the car - not once did I ever lose a treadblock or did they do anything other than wear...

    Saving to go from 172 to Impreza P1

    Good to have a goal, something to aspire and work towards, but if you can't afford the running costs...you can't really afford the car, can you?

    How do I alter the brake balance/bias across my front axle?

    LOL I suppose I've coped so far with no problems...just me being paranoid as it nears retirement I guess.

    How do I alter the brake balance/bias across my front axle?

    Yes edde. I'm running new discs (500 miles old and fully bedded in though) and recently bled fresh fluid. Would slight balance issues really affect it this badly? It's like I've got ABS on the offside as it's almost impossible to lock it. Pads move freely in the calipers too so that's...

    How do I alter the brake balance/bias across my front axle?

    I've long thought (since new) that it was down to weight, with me being in the car on my own and no passenger, but today I proved otherwise. I was out two up practising threshold braking; time after time after time (about 6 in all) I braked from *** miles per hour down to a complete stop...

    Anyone good with Excel PivotTables?

    Go to your original data, insert a column and use the =MONTH(A2) formula to pick out the specific month from your dates. That way using the filter on the pivot table you can just select the specific month numbers you need to see.

    can a V6 drift ?

    Hands off. He's letting me have it.

    Just sold my Silver 172 Cup and bought new 197

    You are absolutely correct. I don't mean to be disrespectful (it really is not in my nature), but from the outset this thread and your responses, have genuinely had me laughing out loud on several occassions. It's getting tiresome now so don't worry, I'll leave be.

    ...and given the continual bragging about how supreme his new motor is, how we all don't respect it, how we need to all grow up, how he is personally surrounded by money and supercars we should all worship, how he is an "IT Professional for Vodafone at 31!", I thought it far from harsh...

    So at 31 years old you couldn't afford it outright? You need to work harder mate.

    Excel question

    From what you've described...you have two tabs with exactly the same data on. Not sure what you're asking.

    Direct Push Emails few quick questions

    I've been running this since December, couldn't function without it now. Read a mail on my laptop...it shows as being read on my phone. Delete a mail from my phone...it's deleted from my laptop. They run perfectly in sync :approve:

    Just sold my Silver 172 Cup and bought new 197

    On the warm up and cool down laps I did it was as bad as at parking speeds. It was only when you really started properly leaning on it it weighted up and felt a little better. Can't do that...have steering that only works/feels right at 9/10ths or above.

    surface rust on brakes/ refurb

    Drive it, brake hard? Free too. Wouldn't have thought it wise to put any products on your discs for cosmetic reasons. Or are you having a laugh?

    Speeeeeeed!

    I like second best...you have to be gentle to avoid breaking traction when exiting roundabouts...get it right though and it flies. Plus it's the only gear you can use properly at anything like legal speeds.

    TT 4sale if ur a gippo

    Good idea but flawed. You'd need to budget at least £2,000 more to pay someone to drive it. Hideous.

    911 GT3 RS Track Day Fun (Pics)

    Definitely 130-140 for them into Avon Rise. I'm normally approaching 120 before I'm on the brakes at that point. Goodwood's freely open, and there's a perimeter track you could technically drive around the outside to get to any good points. Not seen anyone do so, but it would save your legs LOL

    Best suspension for my Cup 172?!

    What about the standard suspension is making you want to change it?
  29. Tighten My Nuts

    Quick one - A539s

    No idea. If I'm not using all of the tread width...I drop some out. If I'm rolling too far onto the shoulders...I put more in. Depends on ambient temperature, track temperature, pace of sessions etc.
