I've had one fitted from 2.5k (now on 51k) and agree with what ^^^ edde said. Extra revs help on track, and I've definitely not suffered any worse mpg. Took about 2hrs to fit as a complete novice.

It happened to Evo mag too when they were testing the V6 I think...they stopped to move some cones for a test, and couldn't get back in. Bent coathanger is what they used.

You've had a worse time than most then...;)

My 172 Cup was 2yrs old on 28 November. After 51k, I've had two starter-motors, three wiring looms, and a lot of love from Mike @ Rentech :D No rattles, and no problems with anything else...apart from the fact that a quick trip to the local shops for milk often turns out taking 90mins and...

The Continental SportContact fitted as standard to 172's and 172 Cup's are not directional...they have a specified outside edge...and perform more than well enough for a spare wheel/

Keep piling the miles on and when you reach 50k+ you'll be permanently smiling. Welcome aboard.

They used to be something mad like £0.98p + VAT...now they're £10+! I'm glad I got a spare off Mike when he had a few extras lying around.

If you end up going for a headrest mounted one, try knocking one up yourself. Daipac made this one for me...but anyone with an ounce of common sense should be able to throw one together. This one's survived 2 years, 50k miles, and about 15 track outings...and it's nothing more than...

Nice...how much weight saving over standard?

A032's Ben. Aaron - I'm working on it - the first tape I used is a bit corrupted, but there's some useful footage to pull off. could have got a lot more if they didn't stop us from "racing" PMSLOL

Home made (by Daipac) - two bits of wood, a couple of bolts/wingnuts, bicycle innertube for grip around the headrest struts, and a generic camcorder ball/socket mount botled to the end.

I love Jon_r :rasp:

He was hard work but I got him back on the brakes in the end - he had fairly good lines, but held me back through the section I spun out on earlier in the day - timed at about 1:40:5 - 111S - 14mb No other cars in this one, but it was my best flying lap timed at 1:37:6 - best lap - 13mb - no...

Yep...watching it back I was in 4th from lifting to let him go by and I'm normally in 5th before st. Marys. So I went for a gear that I was already in, hesitated, missed my turn-in, then turned in too hard and lifted a little at the same time. Watch it out there people, I thought I had it...

^^^ Pmsl :)

You had to drag that up again eh? LOL

PMSL at the comments...you would have liked it even more yesterday Malice! Trackday insurance? Never bothered...If I do more damage to my Cup than I can afford to put right...I'll give up trackdays. I'm working on the video of my best lap at the moment...when that incident happened I was...

How many miles has it got? Mine, now on 50k, is a totally different animal compared to when it had 20k or so on it. They get so much better with age :D hope you enjoy it.

Ha ha ha...no damage whatsoever, but the car smelt bad all the way back to the pits! It was bad enough that I felt guilty about getting the session red-flagged (by the time I got back to the pits, everyone else was stopped at the start line)...but then they made me drive round to where it...

Umm...great day at Goodwood today, dry, sunny, freeeeeeezing...and I just forgot that I don't weigh 500kgs and sit 50mm from the tarmac like Caterham's do... 9mb - 30sec clip - right click, "Save As..."

Yay... ^^^ someone who understands the mathematical concept of averages ;)

Mint

That's a great pic...doesn't look like you've got too much understeer in that one! You could try altering the tyre-pressure difference front to rear to help. Renault recommend 33F + 30R, but I've always run the opposite. Softer at the front helps it to dig in and the back with higher...

I'd say if you're careful 1 litre should be enough. I gave the garage I use 2x 1 litre bottles for a complete system flush/bleed, and I got one bottle back unopened.

Basics LMAO...

Get used to it I'm afraid. After 50k, mine still do it pretty much every single day in this weather, and have done since new. Doesn't affect anything (other than your ability to pull away without lurching like a learner driver).

I'd say A539's too. The Falken 451's can't be all bad either...a couple of the marshalls at a recent trackday compete in the Castle Combe Saloon Car Championship...and they run on, and recommend them.

I think I've been very lucky with mine...passed 50,000 mile this week, and the only rattle of got is the 4k heatshield (which I like)...the inside is completely 100% rattle free and has been since new. That's after 10+ trackdays/airfield days too :approve: I'd say go for it...you get...

Nice pics :D You've got to work hard to keep an S2000 on the boil...we (me and a few other RS peeps) were pushing them along at a Brands day earlier in the year.

Not working for me...can't find server :(
