It's illegal to use those pads on the road - they're designed for track/race use only. Something to do with the coefficient of friction varying so much with temperature I think. Try braking less ;)

Imagine a grinding wheel on steel. This is the same. It's because the pads are ultra aggressive and they're grinding layers off the disc. As above, very harsh for your paintwork though - not that I'm all that bothered...mine's not been cleaned for 2 months now LOL When I was out doing that I...

You say that and I agree up to a point... Sure modern gearboxes have a synchromesh - but you can still 'assist' the gearbox by double-declutching - without doubt, if I double-declutch, the next gear selection is smoother and easier than if I just heel/toe blip alone. It's a useful technique...

:o This was when it failed to start a month or two ago. Got it recovered to Mike and he traced it to a dodgy wire between the ECU and fuel-pump relay.

I like, I like :approve: Once they get hot what comes off the disc is impressive and totally appropriate at this time of year... Warm... Warmer... Bingo! Really bad short video clip of them in action here...CLICK

On the left, under the 'SPORT' badge for me...

LOL - that's funny :D

I tend to go 6-9 months between washes myself.

Just the decat Alex, that's it engine wise.

You are kidding? Have you seen Trev's wench? I'd park in a bog for her.

I've got a 7,750 limit - couldn't care about what it does for power, as said above it's all about the track. On track I change gear normally at the usual revs and I don't rev high as a matter of course. But on track it can be a huge advantage. Chasing Jon_r around Goodwood in two identical...

My surname's Briggs, so I've always wanted... MBR166S. It's on some random Hyundai Coupe at the moment. Also got outbid on C110 CUP when it was up for auction. Maybe one day...

Me neither. My Cup has this clicky bit at the end of its travel, it's always been there from new. Someone on here almost got rear ended by an HGV from not reading their manual about this... They'd set the limiter to 30 mph for residential streets. Get to junction with 60 mph limit, pull out...

Hi Tony. Sort your website out? I've just spent a very frustrating 15 mins trying to find some info. - the page loading times are attrocious!!! Enjoy your stay. Mark

Most insurers specifically say you are not to admit liability at the scene. That's for the insurers/police to establish. Were you on the roundabout when she started pulling out, or were you approaching it but not on it yet?

Am I the only one that can say they've never used it. Comparing stats is bad enough...but comparing made up ones? Or do they have real stats too?

I was thinking more like "this thing corners like it's on rails"...while trying to impress his PA.

Even better.

Assuming no one was hurt... Ha ha ha, some fat balding businessman is nursing a sore head I bet! LMFAO - would have loved to have heard what he said to his passenger in the minutes leading up to that.

:cool:

The pallet scales I'm using are infinitely adjustable height-wise (it's designed to lift pallets) so I'm able to very accurately ensure that when all 4 tyres are at rest either on card or the scales, they are in the same position relative to each other. This is the point you made Paul - for the...

Well I still cannot see the logic to your argument. So what if 3 wheels are on pallets. They are static and do not affect weight distribution of the wheel being weighed. It still weighs 350/150 kgs as per my diagrams above. Can we agree that if I go down this route, and do everything...

OK then, consider the £800 + VAT scales I pictured above that everyone seems to agree will work... Now, let's say that you disconnect one of the scales from the main display... The other corners that are still connected to the main display are still giving the same reading for each...

Mine stopped squeaking the day they did this and never has squeaked since. Probably is vaseline, it's certainly 'greasy'.

That's exactly how I felt after I caned one around Brands. It is a totally different car to the standard 197. Airfield?

Whatever you do, don't ask Renault to sort it under warranty. I asked them 90,000 miles ago to sort mine, and you can see from this picture, that their hopeless attempt at sorting it is still visible on the back of my seat today... That was the only time someone other than Rentech Mike...

YOU CAN! The scales I posted a picture of do exactly that! It didn't work because... I used stacking card under the wheels to get each wheel to the same level. The amount I put under each wheel was exactly the same, and was exactly equal to the top of the forks on the pallet scales. But...

Nice :approve:

That's lush work Tom.

Both feet aren't level if you do that affecting weight distribution. I made sure my car's wheels were level. Although I've now worked out why it didn't work, can't believe I didn't spot this - it's visible in the video for all to see GGGRRRRRRRRRRR :mad: Part 2 to follow soon...with an...
