Nice vid...very tidy mate, very tidy. You're smooth with the steering, accurate and consistant with your lines which is the main thing...keep going round like that and the speed/later braking comes naturally. Just got to work on heel & toe downchanges to stop unbalancing the car just...

LMAO - we'll swap next time Nik eh (and I'll stick the Conti's back on)?!

You only normally see the back of a 172 Cup. ***runs***

^^^ exactly...some people just don't get it. I can have just as much of an "evo" drive in my wife's 1.6 Zetec Focus as I can in my Cup...it's not about power/performance/whatever...it's about the experience, the feel, the feedback, the smile on your face, the fact that you turn around and go...

I can't remember the last time I saw one either.

That's the only reason I have a set of 15's - much greater variety of quality track rubber is available.

That looks really nice mate ^^^

Here are mine...

It's Megan :D Not sure what the rumbling was..all seemed OK'ish on the way back. I'll have a serious play with the hubs in the morning and see if I've lunched a wheel bearing. GuyS - anyone crash? Almost almost every session someone went off, including a Cooper S Works fella who was so...

Isn't it just...my wife didn't believe me!

The day started out really nice, with a good chance of the sun drying the track out, then mid-morning the rain came :( After lunch most of the standing water had gone but it was still greasy since the whole track was resurfaced about 4 weeks ago. Had a couple of good runs this afternoon, but...

The pads rust to the disc regularly...pretty much every day for me at the moment. The sound for the first few minutes is the rust being cleared from the surface by the pads...nothing to worry about...they all do it. Well, mine has done it for every one of its' 50k miles anyway, and it still...

Cup all day long.

I thought I was very restrained LOL

Ooooh, juuuuuuuuust! Go on then Lee, I guess we'll have to give you that ^^^ LOL You must try harder next time out!

I personally stick with the good ones on the front Phil, the car still goes where you point it then, but you of course have to be comfortable and careful with the nice agile back end. Pressure wise, normally I run 30F 33R to help keep the back agile, but after two MASSIVE "moments" this...

^^^ nice

Good man...support Mike and his magic hammer...you know it makes sense :D

Nope, standard exhaust with a blowing cracked centre silencer :( For those having trouble...I'll see if I can get a smaller version of it hosted too.

Mods? Engine wise...ITG panel, and R-sport ECU. Suspension/brakes...goodridge lines, brembo discs, standard 50k old springs, dampers, and a fresh set of Renault pads. Not a great deal done to it...and certainly no real (if any) power gains. I think I got one of the better ones from the...

That whining noise is the tyres...Yoko A032's. Helped me out through the corners...but on the straights I was still reeling the Trophy in, even after backing off to let Nik get away from me first. But then he has done only 6k miles and is still tight, whereas I'm knocking on the door of 50k.

Ahhh, the joys of trackdays...with a little frustration thrown in at the end for good measure. It's nice to see a Trophy in its natural habitat... 4 min clip here - 20mb Who said Trophy's were the fastest Clios... ;)

A little play eh? It was all out war :evil:

How about a 172 Cup...?

He managed it yesterday very well...didn't catch it on video though as he was behind me at the time.

Weather was OK...bit damp all morning and was more than a bit greasy, but the sun was out after lunch and the racing line dried out on about 75% of the lap. Still haven't leant properly on my A032's yet though.

Hmmmmm...maybe I should've coughed up the cash for the pics after all...looking good Nik. My video has come out nice and clear as usual (good ol' Daipac...the mount's still going strong). Give me a day or two to pull something together. Dream on Jon, dream on ;)

I genuinely think it looked spot on as it was. (but then I am someone who screams "STANDARD" all day long LOL)

They're actually old Clio 16v wheels (£50 of a member on here + my painting skills). Straight on, no problem. There's so much more rubber choice available for 15's. Nice pics Jon...what was Em looking at up so high?

"Climb in Insert key Start engine Remove eyes Drive like a c**t" ^ taken from the Range Rover owners manual. Shame mate, was looking so good too, hope you get it sorted out.
