Yeah, was standard at that time...I'd only had the car for 12 months. Might have sounded a little fruitier due to no back seats though. That was probably the slowest one ever Jon...not sure if it was that day when Ang's Evo went ditchwards?

3 reasons why it went... 1. I was trying to keep up with James/Emma ahead...both were running Continentals IIRC - I was running a set of Yokohama A539's which are renowned for being total sh*te in the wet. 2. The corner itself had "ripples" in the surface, so that combined with the A539's...

Exactly. Try running a full tank of fuel through, but make sure at all times the car's carrying a boot full of crap and adult passengers. That would make it 1,300+ kgs. Instant drop of 5-7 mpg.

Get some real tyres on it Chris! Looking good though ;)

Nice one Chris :) sounds good.

Babbage I know (from Nov 2004), but I only ever put stills up before. The closest I've come to connecting with another vehicle and/or swapping ends on public roads... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iujU7EM_ik

Not 182, but I did earlier this year on my 172. Made absolutely f*** all extra power compared with 2 other Cups that weren't modified. The Group N is supposed to flatten out the mid-range torque but I couldn't see it from the graphs. It (combined with the ITG panel) does seem to have...

Always have used it, always will. I routinely get over 40mpg from mine, and on a long run to the Airfield early one sunday morning, I averaged 48mpg - and I wasn't hanging around either! How much fuel you use all depends on your planning and anticipation.

You need to buy these off of me... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=163966

Yeah, f***er Grrrrrrrrrr!!! Caused me to stall on my last, and up to that point, my fastest run of the day :( Was a good equaliser though.

Excellent pictures :)

I went through a set of those Tarox pads in 1 trackday and 1,500 road miles...s**te in my opinion. I'll give these Mintex Extreme's a miss if a trackday can kill them like Fred says.

Love the Skyline drifting :D

That rally V6 sounded orgasmic. Footage of it snaking away from the start line both rear tyres ablaze to follow... Oh, and DUF's a proper sl@g ^^^

Ignoring the constant squealing, what do they perform like Ali? Bite from cold? Resistance to fade? Wear? Or have you not pushed them that hard yet? ;)

Your car, those wheels, all that effort, lovely :)

That is terrible. Did he not stand back and look at it at any time during the modification process? He obviously doesn't mind being the object of permanent ridicule.

That's harsh fella :(

If/when my Cup gets striped to the bare metal for race preparation/overhaul, taking a few days out and getting it sprayed white is top of the list. Looks ^^^ mint!

Looks nice and quick :) Don't forget that by the time the needle starts moving you're already doing close to 10mph as that's where the speedo starts. You need to add about 0.5s or start your timing from when you hear the clutch first come up. That's why a lot of people think my Cup can crack...

Aren't they clamping down as with tints (even very light ones) speed and general traffic cameras can't pick out the driver? So it's not primarily that it's unsafe to have them (although with only 17% light getting through that's totally 110% unsafe), more that traffic enforcement cameras can't...

LMAO, that's excellent!

I will take you up on that Steve, thanks fella :D Best see if I can try a few alternatives then. Thanks for everyone's thoughts.

OK, that makes sense...I'd be more than happy adjusting for different circuit conditions and chassis balance. I'm assuming the Leda's aren't a nightmare to adjust? I remember the old days on bikes with skinned knuckles from C-spanner efforts gone wrong. It's not like that anymore I hope?

lol

OK, interesting so far. What about adjustability? Is it really necessary? Surely the set-up I need on track to work the best from the sticky rubber has to be so hard it would be unusable on the road normally, hence the adjustment needed? How many people run adjustable units, and actually...

Budget? Money is almost not a factor, getting a solution that's set up right is more important.

If you watch the clip, and really listen to my throttle inputs, there were numerous times when I could have picked the throttle up earlier, but didn't through fear of getting to close to a car worth half the value of my house. There were certain turns where my exit speed was compromised beacuse...

I'd want something that is perfectly usable day-to-day (300 miles per week commuting), but that has enough adjustment to get it really focussed and firm on track so I can make the most of the track tyres. Maybe then I'd have gotten past that pesky F430 :rasp: What options do I have? What do...

What's impressive, if I might be so bold as to suggest, is that for almost one complete lap around Bedford's South West circuit, I remained glued to his ass. So off he sped on the straights. I'd have thought for my extra £120,000 outlay I'd get something a little quicker overall wouldn't...
