WTF? Why would you put that on an ad?

The guy that went past on track was Eddd.

Oh, and err straighten out your front left washer blanking plate. Bugs the hell out of me when they're wonky. ;)

Nice one, looks well looked after :approve: Enjoy your stay.

Isn't that just stating the obvious?

Don't stop. The discs will cool unevenly and warp. Just drive around getting plenty of fresh air around them, plan ahead and don't brake.

Can I stroke it at the Airfield please?

Rapid.

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread I wouldn't paint it myself, but it looks lovely and clean back there - lack of brackets.

LMFAO - don't clean it.

There's 3 or 4 dashes getting flocked at the moment isn't there? I can't wait to see the pics. Who'll be first?

I found that DS2500s never really bit into the pad like standard, always felt like they needed to heat up. Do what Fred says then when out again, try and get them to fade. I bet they're dependable.

I'll have one more go then... On your video, your clutch starts biting at 3 seconds, just as it gets over 4,000 rpm - the revs drop down a little as you fully engage it, then the revs climb again as you accelerate in 1st gear. That's when you start moving, not when the speedo wakes up at...

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread Fix it. Get them up! You are bringing this on the 9th?

Look at your speedo and the numbers around the edge. Where the needle is resting before it starts moving - is it at 0mph or 10mph? You start the clock when the needle starts moving (which it doesn't do until you are doing 10mph), so how can you time a 0-60 run, when you are doing 10mph before...

That does not matter. You are doing 10mph before the speedo needle starts moving, so to start your 'clock' at that point is totally wrong. By your reckoning my car does 0-62 in 5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BE4edzLua8 It doesn't.

Correct! Wrong! The speedo does not start moving until you are doing about 10mph already. So your car might do 10-57mph in 9.9s, but 0-62 (65ish on the speedo) takes about 13.

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread Very nice indeed.

That Ignis must be a right laugh.

Put a pic up? I might make you an offer.

I've done that from new as well. Also, I get my brake fluid changed pretty much every second service/12,000 miles, but that's the only thing that I find I need to do over a normal maintenance schedule.

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread NVH - noise, vibration, harshness. It subdues them all.

Before a trackday I... brim the tank check and top up the oil check and top up everything else visually look the tyres over for bulges, cuts, nails etc. adjust tyre pressures take everything out of the car That's it. No special preparation, no special extra drops of oil, no extra expense...

You did, and I benefited from said trial :approve:

Great meet. Did you actually go Jon? The picture of your Datsun is devoid of enthusiasts.

I've had two tool boxes, 4 track wheels with tyres, trolley jack, a-full-weekend's-worth-of-shite, and a passenger all in the back with no rubbing. Does that count? ;)

For the record 205/45/16 tyres of any description will fit onto a standard Cup's wheels and perform without rubbing. Ever.

When it finally sorts itself out (the market) I won't hesitate in buying an HD DVD/Blu-ray player. So long as the increase in quality is there going from DVD to HD it'll be worth it. Since I've had Sky HD it's taken me a while to grasp and truly appreciate the picture quality of HD. Like SD, a...

Sounds like you might be greening... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=161043

I'm happy waiting too. I've got plenty of HD movies on Sky until market forces ultimately decide. You seem a bit passionate about it dk?
