Well said Roy. Welcome back, I've missed you. I wan't a wireless one too. I talk to my family in NZ through mine, it'll make it much easier.

Jealous ^^^

I've had new dampers all round in the last 10k since the rears sprung a leak, and the fronts felt like they were past their best. It's still nice and tight/controlled even after all these miles. The F430 owener was, how shall I say, umm, silver-haired. Definitely wasn't bigging himself up in...

Nice.

Yep, engine has an ITG foam panel filter in original airbox, an R-sport ECU which gives an extra 500 rpm to play with, a Yozzasport decat, and K-tec stealth catback exhaust. Brakes are braided lines, Brembo HC discs, Pagid Blue pads, and Castrol SRF brake fluid. Suspension is 100% standard...

Knowsit You can give me something to chase in your hairy-chested TB'd V6 when I drag my ass oop north for a trackday week next year ;)

I like them, but do what you want, who cares what anyone else thinks?

Ha ha ha...predictable responses LMAO He was having instruction as jonnyboy picked up, so his lines were pretty much spot on. But he did lack confidence on the brakes. For the first trackday in ages I was actually on normal road tyres - Michelin Exalto's - never tried them before, and...

1,998cc v 4,308cc ? £12,995 v £127,050 172 bhp v 483 bhp I love my 172 Cup :D Chasing an F430...

I'd like to know that too...what does all that useless crap weigh? Looks good though Chris, mine will be like that before too long :)

I must be lucky then, I've done 7-8,000 miles since my decat was put on, and my dash light's still not lit. I think it was Fred who said that it seems there are a few 172 Cups where they just don't come on. Only 172 Cups, and no idea why though.

Go to Brands tomorrow Oms?

Arrrrrrrrrrgh... FFS

Do you go home with a black face from all the soot LOL ?

Do you have an allocated parking bay - you're there every day?! Truck racing's fantastic to watch, I remember watching them at the Renault Festival at Thruxton, sideways everywhere. I hope someone from Brands gets all that rubber off the racing line at Graham Hill...will be a b**ch in the wet.

£42 each side for genuine Renalt parts. Take all of about 5 mins per side to fit too. Not worth getting cheap/used ones in my opinion.

Mine has been like that for every one of its 72,000 miles. No material oil loss from it for me either, they tend to weep a little. If you can put up with it, do. I think Mike from Rentech said you might be able to get it done under warranty though...to do it they've got to replace the...

Courtesy car while you're sorting my alternator I hope ;)

I squeezed in 48.4 litres the other day. I had to, I got caught short before (no Shell garage within reach) and had to put a splash of toss supermarket sludge in and wanted to get as much of it out as possible before giving it a proper feed with V-Power.

That's insane - not much run-off there!

See links above or search eBay yourself. I got a set for some TSW's for £12 delivered.

Any being a good driver is about minimising risk by not putting yourself in those "unexpected circumstances". Everyone alsways bangs on about "suddenly this happens" and you've got no chance as you'll mash the brake pedal. Nothing happens suddenly. An 85 year old duffer in an old Metro...

I don't disagree about it being a lifesaver, and no, I've never learnt the hard way. I also agree that you can't plan for other people's actions, but what you described, your justification above for needing ABS, involved no-one other than yourself and a stationery vehicle. You can take steps...

You've got to remember that the speedo doesn't start moving until I'm at 10mph...if you're going to time it you need to listen for when I engage the clutch and start moving. Mods? Listed on the video clip.

If that were true, you would never drive at a speed at which you cannot comfortably stop within the distance you can see to be clear on your side of the carriageway. Common sense really.

Not too much difference, it's always been a quick one. Having about 66k miles when I filmed that clip helped, they really loosen up with age.

Harlow, not far from Brands...next year sometime? I think 14 is a bit optimistic - I'm sure something was lost in translation from reality, to video, to PC, to putfile. I think it's more like early 16's.

That was me. Happily have a run against you...do you ever go on track? I'm not into 1/4 mile drags.

Which one?
