All cars post 2011 must have DRL's as standard fit , EU law though they don't need to be LED's

yep its fine

yep ..... and being honest they arn't imperial sized either , i should bloody know that . a road tyre size the isn't the actual size and the side wall is a percentage of the width , where as the slick sizes are actual sizes in mm , so ignore my calculator its crap ... the middle dimention on a...

best i can come up with is http://www.crawlpedia.com/tire_size_converter.htm there are a whole bunch of things to consider running second hand slicks btw

beware that if they are atdo member track day companies will ask if running slicks you have a cage fitted ,and some ban slicks .

something like 19/57/15 that fits a 6.5 to 7.5 inch rim ,

the rim width for that size slick is between 10 and 14 inches wide , so they won't come close to fitting a clio

Something that (and i skip read alot of the thread) that has not been pointed out is the the simple fact you hold onto the steering lock for far to long . controlling and smoothing inputs is great however watch your video and notice where the marked top of your wheel is and i'll try and...

i counted my reciepts after 10 years ........ it was not a small number :) then again its been to most of the old and new GP circuits in europe and every track in the uk , so i am not surprised .... it did a huge amount of track work and never missed a beat .

I know lots who spend north of 30k

biggest issue with the S2000 lump is the gearbox ratios arn't great ...... bellhousing and type 9 or sequential and your away . there is a mould for the rear arches but westfield got lawyers involved to stop them being made and succeeded as the rear arches are not generic like front wings for...

and you can't buy carbon rear arches any more for love nor money , apart from the main tub and bonnet everything was carbon , the tub and bonet were made from westfields race bodywork which is ultra thin and then had strengthening pieces bonded in carbon. there wasn't a single ali sheet in...

Its not as stiff as you might think .... I ran 8" rears 6 fronts (rims) as well but it was easier to drive stiffer ..... and yes it did look smart painted .... the carbon was fitted and it was sprayed by what used to be the tyrell f1 paintshop and bits of that car have been worked on at Mclaren...

110/130 is low i would go an inch higher front and rear ......playskool bars are fine your spec looks good .....mine and racecar dr's cars are the 2 in nearly all the fluke pictures and on the Caged website as i developed the cage with Phil at caged

I have looked at it over and over .... it looks good in lighter colours ... and does look good but the specs gone astray ...... I will wait to test drive it

Do you have antiroll bars ? .... the sprint boys run soft setups as they want to work tyres from the off .... I built and setup the car he then bought his dads car also runs the same setup but we ran 450 front 280 rear .... both myself and dave higgs (who was racecar dr ) tested and found that...

Adam do you know pete who was there with the Civic Racecar ? and your springs are way too soft at the back , especially on a 95 chassis as they were bloody good ;) around that age ...(till about 98)

enjoy it there is a nice special feeling when you pick up a new car ,don't let anyone spoil that for you . Everyone has different wants and needs and i am sure it meets yours perfectly .

its a shame they changed the lights

i am disapointed too , as we have had our interest lodged with Alfa for some time . I will still go an drive it when the dealer invites me down , but there are more things i don't like at the moment . however it may grow on me in the flesh .

the pictures above are from the concept , i think you might want to google Geneva 2013 , these are the first pics i have seen of the actual car actually at geneva , this year !! i have seen the concept in the flesh . the first pic i had seen looked not so good , these are better...

awaiting better 4c pics , ...... i know the price will be 50k an di have seen one pic ,and currently i am not liking it , it looks like an old GTV coupe of 90's vintage with a hard top , completely disappointed .

actually i will muddy the waters , you can corner weight a car without coilovers , but it would involve physically moving weight around the car ,and placing lead (or another ballast weight to even things up ) but the manufacturuer will have done this in the design process as a best compromise...

nope its not , and some people set up cars to be across the diagonals for balance , and some will go for across the axles , it depends on the cars initial front rear distribution and whats important . on very light cars success and laptime can be gained by having the front axle balanced to aid...

maybe that's why a mate at work spotted it LOL

oh i am sure it gets noticed ok ..... ;)

Not all eastern european washes are bad

Our local hand car wash on a sunny sunday can see anything from lambo's and ferraris , astons and porsches to Range rovers and the more mundane , they do a very good job and are very careful rinsing mits etc ...... however they charge 7.99 for the outside with windows cleaned , or 14.99 for...

ok , just didn't want anthing nasty to happen and it was the passenger one obviously i could see :-)

Be careful when wearing those harnesses that you adjust the lap straps so they sit down across your hips. So often what happens is the laps are left a bit loose and then you get in and pull the shoulder straps down tight , this pulls the buckle up to a point where it sits high , high enough that...
