The Recaros in the R27 are great on track...would be even better if I was fatter though.

Nice pics Day, nice to see the exotica out there.

You've read my mind. Not really planning on modding the Omega in any way at all...it's just a free hack to keep the miles off my Cup which is very old now, almost on 92k. Can anyone say if swapping to a manual box is easy, difficult, or impossible?

Not sure why that's not working. Mine's always picked up the exhaust quite clearly.

Ha ha ha...I'm getting all that crap out first! My old man was a heavy smoker too, and the whole interior is one big ashtray :dead: Needs a proper valet inside and out.

Will be insured in two weeks time :approve: Mods planned so far by me are; 1. Clean it What else should/could I do? Oh yeah, trailer not included LOL Best thing about it is I can practice my left foot braking without having to worry about a clutch.

I've never topped mine out. Seen 125mph a few times on track though. 100 comes up in about 16 seconds, and 60 in about 6.

Used mine at Goodwood recently - and it absolutely poured down all day long. Then there was the original snowed off day at Oulton, and the wet RS day at Brands in May... I'm having a bad year weather wise!

Great stuff Chris. Gutted my day there in February was snowed off - probably won't get another chance to come up now this year.

Nice Ady.

That car, in that colour...stunning. So rarely seen. Very nice.

The bits that should be holding the air in...aren't. It's only the rubber left doing the job, and you could mark that with your fingernail - on the road, it's only a matter of time before it goes. Sods law says it would be on a 70mph left-hander in the damp. Get it changed, as soon as...

Good work.

Works fine now for me Lee. Nice pics :approve:

His natural habitat LOL Link not working for me either.

I can't see any of them Lee?

Exactly. Also, try heel and toe changing in a car with over-servoed brakes...it's almost impossible to keep a constant braking pressure as the slightest movement of your foot to blip the throttle alters the braking. They've got the RS clios spot on for that in my opinion.

Is it still all original?

On the road, the front looks like it has a little more than the rear. In the sunset pics, the body's not distorted by the lens, yet the rears are clearly cranked right over way beyond the fronts.

I've got a spare 172 Cup badge I could be tempted to part with Ali, you know, keep it all original like?

Almost 92,000 now.

Ridiculous camber on the first three pics. Straightened it up when he had to drive it.

Spark plug? I dropped to 3 cylinders a few days ago because of one.

I do 2,000 a month in mine, every month. Have done for the last 3.5 years. It still makes me smile every single day.

Good work.

That itch still needs scratching eh? You should have treated yourself to a 172 Cup when you sold the bus!

I love my stealth. Getting it fitted correctly is vital - some people have had them hanging way too low - hardly stealthy LOL - mines tucked right up out of sight. They're as loud as you want them to be...bimbling along on a light throttle it's only slightly louder than standard. Give it...

Safe with pre-tensioners. They only pull in to a pre-determined pressure, so they'd fire, but not tighten any further as it's already tight enough. I love mine. Used it daily for 18 months now.

My opinion is that they look horrid. But, if you were to compliment them with these... ...and this... ...it would complete it and look much better.

Do yellow checks on the roof and do the mirrors yellow too. That'd be mint for a track car.
