I run F30/R33 - I like the front to dig in, and the back to jump about a bit.

NU Direct for me - £338 fully comp. :D

Dan...talk to Mike...I'm sure he said he could "unlock" them.

Never had this before...I've always changed insurer every year as they always seem to take the piss when it comes renewal time and normally there's a £50 increase or something like that. I'm with NU Direct...last year, fully comp was £389...this year...£339. Can't work out why...

Looks absolutely fantastic Aaron :D Are you still at Goodwood in Dec.?

If I had no mortgage my Cup would be getting similar treatment...I think the spec sounds fantastic. Jap turbo barges? Give me instant throttle response and a lightweight hatch any day of the week.

Ooh, nasty...wouldn't be so bad if it was their head that did it.

This engine mount mod that seems to cure it...does the modification itself... 1. ...actually stop the engine moving or 2. ...relocate the engine just slightly so it doesn't catch whatever it was banging on in the first place?

Can't wait to see it in action Aaron - can you manage Goodwood?

Yep, me too, I think they'd be a great daily hack.

I think that is Yasers Cup...isn't it? I know it's back on standard wheels...but when I last saw him at Goodwood, I remember having a good look at the air feed into his Maxogen - it was exactly like in the pictures.

Looking good fella

Mine's been fine too.

Original equipment on Cups (and 172's IIRC?). They last quite well, grip quite well, and so far, seem to be nice and gentle at the limit just like the 539's...but with loads more grip.

2x Continental SportContacts from Gareth - £40 total (as good as new) 1x Continental SportContact from lawrence - £35 (brand new) 1x Continental SportContact from Fred - £25 (almost new, certainly not been fried by Yozza) = 4x Continental Sportcontact tyres, 195/45/16 - for a total of £100...

Yep...added bonus is it keeps your unsprung mass lower too... :p

I know what you mean ^^^ But if you're smooth with them, you rarely ever need to use the brakes...and carrying an extra 10-15mph (compared to your average driver) through bends/roundabouts/onto sliproads makes a huge difference to how fast they seem. I used to see how few times I could use...

I loved it when I used to get given 1.2's as courtesy cars - whilst most things will see them off from a set of lights, if you drive the wheels off of them and keep the momentum up (which is what it's all about after all), they're as fast as most other things out there... Trouble is they lack...

Here's what I did with mine... The main unit The laser detector The GPS aerial (including random chav) Power feed All very straightforward...took about 1 hour total to do. Tips? Be sure of where you want the main unit before you use the adhesive to stick the cradle...

Not me...

Me too...I press the loud pedal, then grin like a demented idiot...what else matters?

Had my 48k done yesterday too - top bloke, top service, bottom prices! (Sorry for keeping you hanging around Gaz...was good to meet you :approve: )

Remind me what's changed since then James ;)

He kept braking for no reason and that still wasn't enough for you to give yourself enough stopping distance :S

Good point Oms, not thought of that before. Defo 20mm at front, and 10mm at rear though.

Just checker my Renault Cup 172 brochure...and that is definitely right. They also increased castor angle by 3 degrees on the Cup compared to the FF 172.

LOL have fun Mike!

AFAIK if you call the Police, following a non-injury RTA, they'll tell you to sort it out yourself. It's only when someone's hurt they need to attend. Hope you get it sorted out though fella.

^^^ Couldn't agree more. But there is NO substitute for experience...

I'd say it would depend on how stiffly sprung/damped you have the front. Look at my picture above, soft at the front with normal ride height, HUGE shift of weight as you turn and force the mass to the outside front wheel, then relatively stiffly sprung rear has no choice but to pick the...
