I always found standard pads to be too grabby, too abrupt. No pressure at all then BANG, you headbut the windscreen.

This was from before that. Can't decide if I should just have it re-set as is on standard springs/dampers, or go the whole hog and whack on some Bilsteins while I'm at it.

Exactly - having the inside knowledge passed on from someone who properly knows the track makes such a difference. I'd have been turning in at the cone at the Bekham Esses all day long if it weren't for him telling me to go in earlier and use the throttle to pull the front through. Much...

I asked the same question 9 months ago. Couldn't get a definitive answer so gave the Pagids a try. Haven't looked back since.

Not yet, got to get some use out of the recent springs/dampers first. Just to add to my first post, I'ver checked tyre pressures already.

My Cup feels strange and I don't like it. It's keener than ever on turn in, but feels ever ready to tip into oversteer. The slightest steering input sometimes feels like it starts to scrub, while the back seems ready to go. I've not provoked it yet to test. I first really noticed on the...

Looks like you had a great introduction to the joy that is trackdays in a RS Clio. From the photos looks like you were pushing hard, how did you find it?

Nice clip. He was comfortable throwing it around wasn't he :)

I had a tussle with one on track at Bedford, show him a short straight and he f***ed off into the distance, you can hear the noise of its V8 screaming over the racket mine makes, lovely. Click

Lovely colour, looks mint.

Nice!

Looks nice. Good to see the Mk III's suffer from rusty brake discs too.

Stunning pics Chris, you can read the tax disc (and almost the dealer name on the plate) on the hi-res version of that orange one. Amazing.

I currently have 16 in my shed (the wife's seriously pi**ed since the last six arrived :eek: - I need a bigger shed)... I buy them off members on here whenever they come up cheap :approve:

A lap of Bedford's West circuit - 1:27 Not directly comparable with the 1:33 Evo managed as the video skips a bit and there was no pif-paf either but I'm happy with it all the same. The instructor I had with me was one of the better ones that I've come across though :approve: West Circuit...

You could try HIC (Herts Insurance Company). They were really good for me with my mods and I talked about what I planned to do (proper detail strip, seat, wheel, harness) and they noted it on the policy, that was it, no extra charge. Very trackday and mod friendly.

Right, thanks. Makes sense. Equalising static grip.

Can't argue with that.

He bought it already modded IIRC so he's spent next to nothing on mods. Up close and personal this thing is very serious/rapid. When it spools up it just squats down and f***s off.

So that's why I always have a tendancy to lock the front left first when threshold braking? 80kgs less pushing down? How's it balanced Fred? Ballast or suspension adjustments?

How long have you had it Oms? If it's less than six months, a change in the last few years to the Sales of Goods Act gives you more clout. Basically if you buy a product, and it develops a fault within the first six months, that fault is deemed to have existed at the time of sale, unless the...

What's corner weighting then? What does it give you that none of the above do already?

Mine's a Monday car, not a single rattle :approve:

Wheels are good for the brakes

I like them. Look mean, and only two seats.

eh? My experience has always been PMs responded to promptly answering any random question I might throw at him about tuning/racing etc. Development of a product takes time, effort, and money. We work on a 1 year concept-to-market cycle in my company, and that's designing the latest...

Out of idle curiosity, what exactly has been farcical?

I've been thinking about what I want to do next training wise, and going for training/membership of the HPC appeals. Anyone on here a member already? http://www.hpc.org.uk/guests/index.html

Can't say I noticed any real difference, but they're cheaper IIRC.
