We ALL love Mike's magic hammer down here :D

I will be next time I need some, hope they're as good as you say they are David :D

I thought the renault ESP was a pile of shite when I took a 182 Cup round Brands...kept grabbing at the brakes mid-corner and unbalancing the car...pretty dangerous at those speeds IMO. As for braking and ABS - if you treat every hazard you come across on the roads appropriately, you should...

^^^ agree - definitely need throttle as well. Steer into it, and get on the gas smoothly...but HARD. If the backs coming round, the car isn't balanced i.e too much weight at the front, not enough at the rear. Steering the front into it will slow how much the back comes round but you are...

PMSL at all these :D I've never had a problem at Renault dealers as Mike (Rentech) has always looked after my Cup for me. Hendy Ford Chichester though... "I'd like a luggage net for a Mondeo Estate" After 10 mins of looking on the computer - "that's £89 sir". "What the f***?!?. Ok...

The last two sets of front pads I've gone through were fitted without those poxy clips. I've had no problem whatsoever with performance or binding, and I cover 24k miles a year. I'd say if it's tight, leave 'em out.

Get it up again fella...

I had a session as a passnger with Yaser at Brands last year...the way his Cup pulled in 5th on the start/finish straight made my Cup seem asthmatic! His technique through Druids was interesting as well...turn in, spot the apex and floor it LOL - try that in mine and I'd end up as an...

I ran A032's all last year and they performed very well, even wear, and they (I) only let go once.

I've got at least 50% still to go at the back and I'm on my 3rd set at the front. The bias is soooo towards the front which suits track work perfectly...any more at the back and the inside rear would lock everytime while trail-braking at turn-in.

You must have the ONLY Cup that has rear brakes that actually do anything. After over 52k miles on mine I'm still on original pads at the back...and I'm definitely NOT easy on the brakes, especially after a dozen or so hard trackdays. I get the rusting/binding everyday too, and most days...

Edit: Just like Neil ^^^ :)

Go to Ren-Tech...doesn't matter how far away you are, it's worth the trip.

I've been running a Netgear 824 for the last 24 months - has worked fine for both old and new Xboxes.

Probably be a crap video...what with those awful tyres on...you must have been spinning at every corner... ;) I'll have look at it tonight.

More than enough I'd have thought :)

My Cup also came with a rear-view mirror full of FF172's. ***runs***

LOL ^^^ Gonna be a mini meet at this rate.

Instead of focussing on brake lights, try seeing if you can notice the car in-front getting bigger. That tends to mean it's getting closer and therefore going slower than you ;) - time for brakes. I'd be very surprised if from what you said you could argue successfully he contributed to the...

Is there anyway you could drop a shorter 5th gear in? I could get a lot more out of mine on track if it actually pulled in 5th but as standard it's way too long.

Welcome :) There's a few of us at Brands on Sat 18th Feb...drag yourself there and say Hi.

Is this for maintenance or a ratio change Fred?

The rears hardly do any work at all so it's not needed. I've got the above kit fitted too, and it takes all the punishment a long hard trackday can give it with no problems.

That's excatly what I thought (almost word for word) 2 years, 52k miles, and a dozen trackdays ago. Get it on track, find out what they're really capable of, and the fun NEVER ends :D As said before though, disrespect them and they can turn round and smack you before you know it (as I...

35 over here. As for the image conscious tossers at your work...don't give them the satisfaction of thinking that their opinion matters to you. The ONLY thing that matters is how it drives, and in a 172 Cup (with few exceptions) you'd "own" them all day long :D

Oh, and err, welcome :D

'tis normal - get used to it - you'll never know it's there after a while :evil:

On a 1.6 tested in Evo, they claimed it was around 130kgs heavier than a 1.6 MkII. No idea what that'll translate to in the RS though.

They're like that on the road - I've just been for a drive as hard as conditions allow, and I've still got clear rings of rust around one disc. On track they start to make sense set up as they are as they'd be locking all the time if they did much more work.

That's what I'm running - and after a hard day caning round Goodwood they were fine. I've had nothing but good service from Yoz, and delivery times have always been 1-2 days. And I'm running Castrol Super Response DOT 4.
