Oh, WTF are you doing in something French?!
Still a massive gayer for selling the Fiesta, Best example out there.
I hope the Clio ends up in a similar way to the ZS

Out of all the proper R tyres available, The R888 is at the bottom of them all. I still don't know why people rave about them so much when there are better tyres out there. DZ03's or A048's.
The new R888R is supposed to be a massive improvement but i still don't think they are available in the...
You are not really going to notice it on the road, Corner weighting only really comes into its on on track, When you are on the limits and pushing the car hard. I went through several geo setups when i had my Fiesta on coil's and you did not really notice the difference that much on the road, On...
I've just replaced the ones that i had on the Megane, Had them on 15 months, done about 20k plus 5 TD's. Thats the rears mind you fronts didn't last anywhere near as long LOL Think they done about 8k plus Td's, Still impressive mind you
I was going to suggest lower ball joints as well.
My Megane's, Even though its a different set up, Had the exact same issues and my lower hub swivels/bearings where shot causing the play. Was horrible to drive, Felt like it wanted to kill you at every corner. Got them changed and its back to...

Really need to sort out my account as i just use it for dumping all my photos on, So theres my good/proper stuff then random shite LOL
Cheers Dave, Ill see how i get on with it either way i think it will be perfect for what i wanted Wetcoat for anyway IE easy protection throughout the winter as i cba spending time on it in the freezing cold. If Bathe + has similar properties then all the better, Even if it is going to negate...
I'm glad that you noticed that it was my opinion makes change to being attacked for stated what i prefer LOL!
A good bolt in probably is more than enough but it would still be at the back on my mind.
Hans is something i had considered, More so If/when i decide to go racing but it isn't a cheap...
Yes they are more expensive but they are worth it, Even the SD cage's bolt in cages would be worth getting welded in, I would want it to be as strong and stiff as i could get it so i would have the utmost faith in it if i ever had to use it.
I won't know exactly how much it will cost as its a...
When i talk about cages i mean properly welded in cages, Not ones that you can bolt in and out and remove bars from, I would have very little confidence in them and always cringe when i see people with K-Tecs bolt in "cage"
If your going to the hassle of fitting a good cage and you opt for it...
Got this today in an attempt to prolong my Wetcoat for as long as possible during the bad weather.
I seem to be buying quite a bit of Gyeon stuff recently, got some Tyre coming as well. It's well priced for being one of the more "niche" brands and all their stuff seems to be pretty good and not...
Unless your going to be using buckets and harness' everyday, Even on the road then i wouldn't bother with a cage, As soon as you stick a cage in something you have made it a track car IMO.
You can't have both, It is either going to be good on track but compromised for the road or vice versa.
Personally, Unless your going on a full on track build then just keep it simple and bias it more to fast road use and just make sure that brakes/tyres are upto the task of track work
Lol at some of the comments on here.
So your telling me if you had something like that you wouldn't attempt a Vmax run on what looked to be a quiet stretch of motorway in the dry? Aye it might not be the derestricted autobahns but it doesn't look that far off tbh.
Brutal, I hit a bump in my...
I would also say that if your new to TD's, Use road tyres.
Proper track day R tyres hide a multitude of bad driving habits, Start on road tyres and get smooth, consistent and fast on them. Will be a much better driver in the long term and tbh road tyres are more fun as their limit if grip is...
Its the same, I have seen a R27, 200, and a 265 parked together and there was no difference between them.
It just depends on how the light falls on it tbh, It can look a totally different colour
I got inpatient and tried some of my VP Citrus pre wash this afternoon on the rear of the Megane, With snow on the ground LOL. Properly impressed with it miles better than the AF pre wash i had used before. Cleaning power is brilliant, Applied via a pressure sprayer then i literally just rinsed...
Just to add to that, Tyre pressure plays a massive role in how long a tyre will last as well. Get them right and you will get ages out them. I have also destroyed a set of RSR's just in one day at KH but it was the middle of the summer heatwave and i was doing long stints and stupidly had...
If you are a good consistent driver in regards to lap times and know how to use your car and tyre to its full potential then you can make them last a long time.
I got 10k miles plus 4 trackdays out a set of front RSR's on the Megane and they still had enough life for another TD in them, Very...
Worth downloading IMO
The vanilla maps are good but get boring after a while, The map packs allow you to mix it up a bit, Some of them are a bit meh but the majority of them are good.
I may be on tonight if anyone is going on, Wont be til after 10 though when i get home from work
