Do you mean IAM? If so, definitely worth it...for the fuel savings alone.
Why is it that everyone thinks they were born with the natural ability to drive?
Regardless of insurance savings everyone should do it. As chiefsilverback said above, general quality of driving is apalling, yet so few...
My Cup just passed its first MOT 2 weeks ago - passed by a tester who was briefed by Rentech Mike about the Cups braking balance before it went through.
To give you an idea of how little the rear brakes are supposed to do, I've covered;
74,000 miles since new
5 airfield sprint days
Approx...
That was the Richardson's uncle :)
Out of all my clips this Brands one is my personal favourite...the backwards camera really shows how hilly the circuits are.
I'm looking for volunteers to sit behind me at Cadwell some point next year...?
One for Weeman this I think...almost 5 minutes of the Richardson in action. Let me know if it works for you and I'll see what else I can dig up ;)
Renaultsport trackdays...limited numbers, lots of trackspace, open pitlane, and Marshalls that occassionally look the other way when you're having...
If they did the Cup that I've got, with the DCi 100 lump in it, I'd buy one.
No better way to cover 70 miles per day IMO.
Still keep the proper one for the track/sprint/breakie runs though :evil:
Yeah, was standard at that time...I'd only had the car for 12 months. Might have sounded a little fruitier due to no back seats though.
That was probably the slowest one ever Jon...not sure if it was that day when Ang's Evo went ditchwards?
3 reasons why it went...
1. I was trying to keep up with James/Emma ahead...both were running Continentals IIRC - I was running a set of Yokohama A539's which are renowned for being total sh*te in the wet.
2. The corner itself had "ripples" in the surface, so that combined with the A539's...
Exactly.
Try running a full tank of fuel through, but make sure at all times the car's carrying a boot full of crap and adult passengers. That would make it 1,300+ kgs.
Instant drop of 5-7 mpg.
Babbage I know (from Nov 2004), but I only ever put stills up before.
The closest I've come to connecting with another vehicle and/or swapping ends on public roads...

Not 182, but I did earlier this year on my 172.
Made absolutely f*** all extra power compared with 2 other Cups that weren't modified.
The Group N is supposed to flatten out the mid-range torque but I couldn't see it from the graphs. It (combined with the ITG panel) does seem to have...
Always have used it, always will.
I routinely get over 40mpg from mine, and on a long run to the Airfield early one sunday morning, I averaged 48mpg - and I wasn't hanging around either!
How much fuel you use all depends on your planning and anticipation.
I went through a set of those Tarox pads in 1 trackday and 1,500 road miles...s**te in my opinion.
I'll give these Mintex Extreme's a miss if a trackday can kill them like Fred says.
Ignoring the constant squealing, what do they perform like Ali?
Bite from cold? Resistance to fade? Wear?
Or have you not pushed them that hard yet? ;)
That is terrible.
Did he not stand back and look at it at any time during the modification process? He obviously doesn't mind being the object of permanent ridicule.
