I look at it this way... Weight distribution is approx. 65% front / 35% rear Total weight is approx 1,000 kgs - so thats 650kg on the front... ...or 325kgs each side unladen. Stick me in the drivers seat and you get NS 325kgs / OS 400kgs - that would explain why it locks NSF when solo, but...

Corner weighting? Anyone have a set of corner scales? So I need take 37kgs from the right side of the car...and move it to the passenger footwell? Or is that a bit simplistic? Standard suspension, 539s (as always), 29F/33R...

Why do I want/need adjustment across the front axle? My car runs empty i.e. no sh*t in it at all, all the time, the back is stripped out, and its rare that I drive with a passenger. When braking hard solo, I consistently get the front left locking, way before the right does. When two up...

Why? Blue ones are faster...everyone knows that...

Im with NU and declared my ITG panel as a direct replacement to save money at service time - no £14 paper filters for me. When asked if it increased performance I said I had no idea...I was doing it to save money! They noted it, but there was no premium increase payable.

Anyone have any experience of these? Can one be fitted to a 172 Cup? Id be looking for adjustment NS to OS on the fronts only...

From what youve said it sounds to me as though your fuel guage needle is busted...for it to still read 1/4 tank when the computer (correctly) shows dashes and a warning light isnt right at all.

:( sniff...

If theyre for track use only, get some crap ones off of someone on here for £50...thats what I did :D

Yup...once you dial into the Cups traits you can take liberties with it...and it IMHO would take a pretty tidy driver out on a trackday in a NA VX220 to really pull away. [Edited by MarkCup on 08 August 2005 at 10:10pm] Would love to have a run out with one...where are you going?

Nice pics. Can a Clio have an M3? I chased and went round one at Goodwood last December - the driver of it came up to me to shake my hand afterwards - theyre far from invincible if you get a slightly weaker driver in one :D

Good lad ;)

So how much did you get for that?

Youre not mad at all...theres plenty of us out there it seems... When I went away for a week in June, by the end of the second day Id pissed my Wife off as I was talking about driving it so much. When we finally got back and pulled into the drive I was like a little kid, ran inside, got the...

Make sure you tell em its been "magazine featured" eh Jon? My thoughts - Cups are for drivers...full fat 172s are for passengers - ***runs***

:D

Wasnt me...honest...

WTF :confused: ? Do I know you? Where did I mention cost above??? Why are A539s "better" than Exaltos IMHO? Compare the front left outer shoulder of my A539 to the front left outer shoulder of Lees Exalto when we were at Brands in May - his had tread blocks disintegrating and coming away...

If youve got an RS Clio with traction control...when the weather goes all s*** like it is now...do you just bury the throttle in the carpet and let the TCS sort everything out for you? Does TC make you a worse driver beacause you become used to the safety net always being there, as opposed to...

Omar did good then eh? Glad to hear it... Was a good day in the end then? How many turned up? Did you get full use of the strip, or just selected sections of it? How much was Omar ahead by?

A539s on my 172 Cup are without fault. Theyre progressive on the limit, and break away very gently. Ultimate grip level may be down compared to other brands, but when theyre this user-friendly, you get to use more of whats available to you more of the time. Downside is theyre no good in the...

Nice pics everyone...was more than a bit gutted I couldnt make it. So will there be another Clarkie?

b2s rock, Has ^^^ rocks :D

Aircon, auto wipers, and auto lights are for wimps...get a Cup :)

A1 service as usual. Thanks Mike. Having been told next Thursday was the earliest they could possibly fit me in, and being faced with a £150+ hire car fee in the meantime, Mike172sport works his magic, shifts things about, and gets it sorted once again :D :D :D

Thick? Really? So do you think that a steering wheel that wears out in less than 18 months of use is reasonable wear and tear then? Ive got one torn/split too...if they refuse to repair it and put it down to wear and tear, then the wheel in the first place was clearly not of "satisfactory...

:o...dont tell me that! Mike172sport at Linningtons was one of the main reasons Ive put up with this thing for so long...

I may well be seeing him very soon...

Does it? If thats the case Ill be needing a third starter motor or wiring loom :( Anyone say for certain what that light flashing really fast means? I just looked again and its between the "STOP" and "SERV" lights... [Edited by MarkCup on 20 July 2005 at 2:18pm] I hope I havent got...

...f****** useless piece of Renault sh*te. Theres a light, centre of the top row of the central group of warning lights between speedo/rev counter, its small, round and red. I normally only see this blinking away when the cars locked...but today it flashes very fast when Im turning the key...
