...and if you can deal with them clanking and rattling in the calipers and also if you're happy for everyone to block their ears every time you brake...they squeal like a stuck pig.

Twaddle. Had it in my Focus, drove that thing for two years, honestly only ever had the a/c on once in that time. My latest mini-beast has it too...I'll turn it on once a month to stop the seals drying out but that'll be all it gets. Amen. This is the UK, not Antigua.

Nice that. Pulls very well 60-100...top of third is immense.

I might be able to make this now. I'll bring the Ignis if everyone agrees not to spit on it.

I did think that Chris, got a Fiat dealer in my village so would have made sense...but I'm a skinflint accountant at heart and despise spending money so went with the cheap option. Managed to find excuses to have to go out several times today...seating feels a lot more natural now, and I'm...

Kind of, saw one that was too good to be true so snapped it up. Pics and speedo video in my "My new car" thread. I'm finding every reason I can to drive it at the moment, it's such a laugh.

Amen. These Ignis' have so much grip relative to their little chassis. I mean absurd amounts. Love it.

I need a splitter in my life. Mine's been far too long without. Yours looks stunning.

Video now up. Watching it again it actually pulls alright in 4th once it gets going. LOL it still takes about 25s to reach 100. http://vimeo.com/10335302

40+ mpg easily achievable, front or rear discs + pads are £80 a set, when you wind it up it really gets up and f***s off. I LOLd lots on the way home...the brakes are phenomenal, and the pedal set up is perfect for heal/toe and/or left-foot braking. In short, it's a rally car, built so Suzuki...

Focus was on it's way out, 4 corroded springs at recent MOT and 124k + lots of wear and dings. So...I've been thinking about one for these for about two years now, and last night finally thought "f*** it" why not. Decided on £2k cost-to-change as a limit and hoped for £1k on the Focus...

Is all that 'carbon' standard?

WTF is that ^^^ !!!

Of course it is. Do those doubters really think K-Tec would tell you to take a running jump if they failed the day after you'd fitted them? How often do you receive anything in the form of warranty documentation when buying other car components?

I can't shake this urge. Have you got a picture of the pedals Chris?

It's a MkIV therefore regardless of what it looks like or goes like, it's a turd.

I'm on BT, have been for years. Have a wireless netgear router permanently connected and never switched off. We've never been without service, and the speed is constant. A1 service really, but then I expect that for the price tbh.

Arse. If Sarah wasn't out I'd drive the 50 miles for one of Mick's big'uns.

Nice vids, remind me of why I need to do Cadwell, no other track in the country like it. Looked like a fun tussle with the DC5, the extra power clearly showed. I had a few laps behind a DC2 at Rockingham two weeks ago, 1st one I've ever seen on track and I was a bit disappointed as I was...

I've had mine for 120,000 miles and just over 6 years, and I'm never getting rid of it.

Nice vid, quick!

As above...yes it does. Going from a 45 profile on a 195 width to a 45 section on a 205 width, would be like running a 47.5 profile on a 195 in terms of sidewall height. I'll get me coat.

What pipe's that out back?

I've run mine on 195s, 205s, and even 185s over 120k miles from new...apart from ultimate grip level and a bit of tramlining variance, I can honestly say that I've never noticed a difference in 'handling'. Feedback doesn't vary much, and it still responds as I want it to regardless of what boots...

Just to be clear, jon_r's scrubbing wasn't down to ride height, it was down to cornering load. So the height at which they don't scrub for some, will probably mean they will for others...all depending on driving style? I was impressed by jon being impressed by them and his car looked OK on...

Aye. He should have only paid 50% as that's how much track he used.

85mph

Clart bobbing about next to me on this one. Quickest session I caught on camera. :approve: SvWbGQtkaGE

I've waited 6 years to come across one of these on track, nice, just a shame we only got a few laps before he cooled down. -iOoHinq_kg

So the owner said anyway. Judging by its pace I'd say he's about right. IsUMJ_6vm7c
