Spolier wins. Looks very nice.

That's really nice. I'm having one of them when the Focus dies on me.

Sell it.

My Cup has cost pennies to run per mile in the 102,000 miles I've covered in it. I let the trip go for about 3,500 milres recently after the clutch change, and including three trackdays and spirited road driving it was showing 37 mpg, which works out as a real 34 mpg. As Clarkson said, it's...

Thanks for all your help, decision has been made :approve:

Match what with what? So the cache size and speed is all important?

That looks nice.

I know they'd technically be overkill for what I need right now...I just want to make sure that what ever I get next is as 'futureproof' as is possible. Our current desktop was great when new, but one too many MS service packs and f*** knows what else has slowed it to a crawl...so I'm...

5 1/4 inch floppy drive FTW.

Assuming all other specs are the same which of these is better...and by how much...loads or just a teeny bit? I'd have thought the quad core would swing it? Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E4600 Processor (2.40GHz, 800MHz, 2MB cache) or Intel® Core™ 2 Quad-Core Q6600 Processor (2.40GHz, 1066MHz FSB...

Re: cup weight saveing I know what the tar stuff is...you're saying you took a load off of your Cup, from under the carpets? Mine never had any fitted...

Re: cup weight saveing Err, I'm thick. Only just noticed that he's got a spare wheel well. :o

Re: cup weight saveing Is it? Ooh. ;)

Re: cup weight saveing Pictures shamelessly ripped from Mat's (fmp_'s) thread above... This was a 182 - none of that tar stuff was fitted to my Cup at all. I think Jay said he took about 10kgs out of his doing this.

Re: cup weight saveing Yup, that's a piece of it. These two threads show member's cars being heavily stripped. I'm certain in each there's pictures showing before and after shots of where the sound deadening is. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=296190...

Re: cup weight saveing Ah, I did miss that bit. There's 20 kgs there?

Re: cup weight saveing Wheels, aircon, ABS, sound proofing, glass, side airbags, no centre rear seatbelt, no rear seat split, no spare wheel. That's about it I think. Come to think of it...where are all the luxuries people can't live without that were removed? ;)

Opening doors, windows, boot, and whacking the non-aircon blower to the coolest max for 10 minutes before climbing in FTW That's what I do. I still can't see the fascination...the thought of spending 10 hours closed in with two others with no fresh air turns my stomach. Airconned air has a...

Re: cup weight saveing Nope, just binned it for a manual rack, far easier. Really? Where from? Yours is a 172 Cup? They never had soundproofing fitted...that was part of the 89kgs saving over the normal 172. Have I missed taking something off? For the record, fog lights probably...

Nice.

Do that, you'll never look back. The difference in feel, with the higher sidewall, is noticable, but doesn't really affect anything else adversely [sp?].

* sighs * What are we going to do with you eh?

Neither... I think most of us that run specific track tyres, tend to run them on 15 inch wheels. That's part of the reason why I run 15s, a far wider choice of rubber is available.

This is great Ady, works a treat... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpU-VUvM-jM

What are you on about? That looks soooooooo much better than a tiny stone chip and a few dead bugs. Wish I'd had one from the beginning for my Cup TBH. Love it.

I was far too IAM to make any decent progress. I should have hunted out the clear track more decisively. Missed opportunity TBQH.

Nope...you pay your money and wait. When I was after a Rockingham layout but wasn't sure which one it was, I sent him an e-mail describing it...and he actually sent me two different layouts just to be sure I got the right one.

www.creative-vinyls.co.uk £1.99 for a small one. £5.99 for a big one. Mondello's on there too - very helpful, all mine have come from there and there's a whole load of options too.

LOL obviously not - made my day that. SCUM!!!

That's relevant for road tyres, but track tyres tend to have stiffer sidewalls, so do not need the pressure to stop them flexing so much. Lower pressure would generate and maintain heat better whilst giving an increased contact patch - and the stiffer sidewall keeps you pointing in the right...
