Aye. Generally speaking, there's a wider variety of rubber available too. It wasn't that long ago you could only get one or two types of track tyre in 195/45/16. In 195/50/15 you're spoilt for choice. As for worse handling on 15s? In 195/50/15 the rolling radius is almost identical, so the...

OK, time for a pic or two then...mine's almost the same spec in terms of weight removal as your except I've only replaced the one front seat, and I've not got any cage. Other things gone you've not mentioned are carbon canister, power steering, engine undertray and bonnet sound...

Mine sounded exactly like this one does - a diesel. One new cambelt and de-phaser later, and it sounds exatcly like a RS Clio should again, lovely :approve: Hope yours gets sorted.

Relatively speaking, cars take an age to warm up if just left ticking over. All the while you've got nice cold oil sludging about. When an engine runs at its worst, you leave it like it :S Much better to drive it, give it a few squirts, and generate some heat. Leave your heater off for the...

LOL

Yep, those tyres would do it I reckon.

Mine's on 125k, just had a new cambelt, dephaser, runs as good as it always has done. On the RR in six weeks to see if it still knocks out close to 190. In short, if looked after and driven enthusiastically, I think they'll keep going and going.

Re: help plss how can i stop the big jumping wen it spins in first i keep breakin exh Treat the throttle as something you squeeze rather than simply switching it on or off. You don't have to give it full beans in first.

So you were as good as stationery, under yellow flags, and he ploughs into you and claims you are at fault? WTF? Needed a smack really, you did very well not to!

Ooh, not good, sorry to see that. You were stationary at the time of impact?

Nice pics. Good to see a solid result at SRR, runs well.

Try Roxio too. I moved onto it from Movie Maker, It's powerful imo.

Nah, I'm on a Car Limits day on a local Airfield trying out my refurbed, freshly cambelted, freshly sprung, but otherwise f***ed looking Cup.

Ooh, nice for an old'un. Wish mine looked that good.

Are you trying it right after the needle gets up to temp.? Or are you giving it a good 20 min run before trying it? IIRC the sensor/trigger for it is based on oil not water temp. as displayed on the dash, and oil temp takes a while longer to reach optimum.

Yep, that's mine, yellow sunstrip. You really need to come have a look over it and I'll take you out for a spin.

Drive it hard only occasionally? That's a crime! My Cup is on approx. 125k and has been royally spanked and relentlessly tracked/sprinted from new by me. Apart from servicing it every 6k instead of the factory recommended 12k, it's never had any special treatment and soaks the abuse up...

Nothing wrong at all with that copper's riding. As seb says above, roadcraft is a wonderful thing that's sorely misunderstood by the uneducated. Evo driver did seem to abide by the rules most of the time, but entering a 40 limit at over a ton before even thinking of slowing down is a but...

Count me out on Sunday, having a long overdue day with my girls as wifey's out netballing. Will expect pics though!

LOL very small world. If you fancy a quick blat out in mine or want to talk over the finer points of French car ownership (!) PM me.

Yup, hasn't moved in about three weeks now. Still trying to muster up the enthusiasm (and cash) to get it over to Rentech for some long overdue TLC.

Another Sussex member here, I'm just along the 259 in Middleton. Welcome to the club, hope you find what you're looking for.

This. The main thing you need is a steady consistent brake pedal position, so that regardless of how hard you're braking, the pedal's always in the same position relative to the throttle. The best way to do that is braided lines and a good bleed. Then just get practicing on either rolling...

Nope, none at all apart from when it was parked up. It may get a showing in the full length Haynes feature film.

Ollie82 in action...vs my Ignis. Not fair really as I had dry track :rasp:

Started pulling some video together, as usual will take an age to edit, so in the meantime here's some stills I lifted and a short video of a very graceful 172 Cup ;)

I have about 2,000 gamer points, my best mate has something like 45,000. The test of a driving game for me is if he can win as an experienced gamer, or if I can win as an experienced driver. On F1, I hand him his arse. First time I turned it on we jumped onto a familiar track - he'd been at it...
