I can't shake the urge either...

Great control, great to watch, but does show how tricky they are on the limit.

I've run mine almost exclusively on Optimax since day one...when I've been caught out and had to use 95, it stutters, coughs, and is a pain in slow moving traffic.

Looks very nice...but get a passenger seat in there before 26 November Aaron please... ;)

Yep, agree with that Roy. My wife thinks my brakes are s***, and that the ones on her Focus are "much better". Over assisted, sharp and snappy is what they are in the Focus. You might have to lean on mine a bit more, but they perform consistently every single time they're called upon...

Any high-res photos needing an A3 print, mail to me at mark@rainbowdesigns.co.uk - then I guess I'll have to dish them out at the next meet...

ROFLMAO at this thread...

Excellent. Anyone else after prints as discussed PM me for my office mail address.

You could try Mike at Rentech. I'm sure he's done this before for someone.

Great pictures so far. Was good to see you again Mike, hope it all works out for you. You'll definitely be getting my business from now on :D

At the last airfield day there was about 4 secs between Neil's Valver and the 172/182 runners. Now, if a 172/182 was 1-2 secs quicker than a Cooper S (realistic estimate or not?), then Neil/valvers are within 1-2 secs of a Cooper S...aren't they? That'd be pretty close in my book. Not...

Pete, I gotta say that was absolutely f****** superb. Much better than my hashed effort last time. I'll pay you for a DVD of it?

Can't wait to get home and download this...

Looks sweet...I remember when mine looked like that :(

Great!

Wasn't me...where abouts where you?

Glad to hear you're getting good feedback already Mike (but not at all surprised ;) )

I was the same though...after that red van incident early on during the first stretch, I just couldn't shake that from my mind. I couldn't even stay in touch with Jon/James so I was obviously very seriously affected by it LOL

...or balls?

Err, they couldn't keep up LOL

Nice pics... Hurray for Pete...get them up ASAP mate ;)

Nice pics fella :D

It'll need to lose all that 130kgs - having seen many times first hand what difference 89kgs makes it'll need all the help it can get. Come on Mr Townsend...get them French fellas working on a proper drivers car (or should I go and buy a Caterham/Elise :clown: )

Shame...I read the Evo "Driven" on the 1.6, and the only words I could see were "+130kgs", so sad. I hope Renaultsport are working hard on the carbonfibre bits the 182s' successor is going to need...

Respect for the effort, determination, and hard work...but it makes me feel a bit queasy :cry:

Do that and you're much more likely to get through the first year unscathed :D Hope you get your cover sorted.

Yup ^^^ if there are any doubters out there as to Mikes' credentials, he's had his hands on my Cup many, many times at the dealership he worked at, and it's never been given anything other than first class treatment :D . In fact, had it not been for him pulling strings to help me out in the...

Stupid question, but you are/is he going through the 5k zone with full throttle? Mine has loosened up progressively from day one and is now, at almost 48k, a totally different drive...but I always had a very noticeable kick at 5k even from new. Tight or not, you should feel something

Fantastic Mike, so glad you got there in the end. Looks good...a lot of effort so far no doubt. I'll call you in a week or so to sort out my 48k.

Bluepete's are on the way. I've got a run or two, but nowhere to host them, and these free host sites seem such a pain in the a**e to use.
