I'd prioritise a brake fluid change if you've not had it done in the last 30k miles or so. It's a weak link, and could ruin the day no matter how new your pads/discs are.

Doesn't the fact that it's drawing air from outside the engine bay benefit it at all? Avoiding heatsoak etc.?

Re: Jon's trackday MK1 172 project thread Good progress jon, and LOL at more wheels. I've got a few sets if you want any more? :rasp:

Nice one Jay, good work and excellent result. Must be so satisfying when it all starts coming together and working how you want it to.

Was it this one? I know someone had C110 CUP...and last time I asked they still refused to sell it to me at a reasonable price!

Point taken. How can you be sure the paint's not too thick if you're doing a diy spray job on the entire wheel? You'd get overspray in there wouldn't you?

LOL. What about when they go through a heat cycle? I check torque on my wheel nuts between every session on track...still wasn't enough to stop me having to limp back to the pits with finger tight wheel bolts when I made the fatal error of painting the wheel-bolt mating surface.

Make sure you get no paint whatsoever on the recessed surface that the wheel bolts sit in/against. If you do, expect to have to stop by the roadside/track with a wobbly wheel at some point!

Sounds nice. Makes me want HD in my life.

Re: Jon's trackday MK1 172 project thread Good work jon. 21kgs for a Cup seat + base, so about 25 with an airbag. Just for the record.

Can I have a PM thankyou please?

LOL, the Clio V6 is a supercar after all!

For info. anything over 5 inches wide can carry a 195 tyre without issues...unless it's stooopid wide and you're going for the stretched look.

Agree with the above...DS2500s sound ideal. When I've run them they've not been too loud at all...I think it depends a lot on how you fit them.

You could always remove your power steering, that gives 7bhp alone.

From what I understand it's because more people potentially need the car, therefore you're less likely to stack it. So yep, seems right.

Mine did...one of just five patches throughout the car, one inside each rear quarter panel, two tiny ones near the spare wheel well, and the big one on the roof.

They're already biased towards oversteer so giving a more positive front end from wider tyres (relative to the rear) will exagerate it. I ran 185s up front and 205s at the back on the road for a few weeks recently. Made quite a change not having to worry about the rear breaking free, and was...

I can't get mine below 37 no matter how hard I try :rasp: If the Ignis died on me and I couldn't find another, I'd have one of these without hesitation.

Can't say for certain but I may stop by.

I got lucky with mine, the patch came off with the headlining like it had never been stuck to the roof.

That's also why I'm never selling mine.

This always makes me LOL too. They are not about how fast they go in my opinion, it is about how they drive. FWD they may be, but in terms of the driving experience as a package, there's not much out there that betters them regardless of price. The fact that you can run one on pennies is a bonus.

I saw that...but why not refit the splitter and the original headlight washer blanks if that was the case? The bonnet popping up wouldn't have damaged those...would it?

Good one! Beats mine hands down that does...

You can go bigger unless you've got a ridiculously skinny wheel...but if you do you should inform your insurance company as it's classed as a modification.

Hmm. He missed in the listing the front end smash it's had. Shame.

That was an accident waiting to happen. LOL at he must be a good driver as he's got 12 million bhp!

Sits very well. Looks good...shame it looked damp though.

Yup, still loving it. Beasting it daily and it's still ticks over quieter than a sewing machine, for me it's the perfect daily hack. So was it just the one viewing from your PH advert, or is there some genuine demand for them now? Makes me happy you didn't lose out too much on yours...could you...
