    Yes they have mate. There's a thread on here somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.

    EPAS on 172 Cup

    There are some screws that hold it in I think from memory. You need the key in the ignition to remove the barrel as well. It needs to be in the acc position, but again that's only from memory. It's been a while since I've did mine. It is easy though!

    Yes mate.

    Yeah fair enough mate. Just do the usual checks of all fluid levels and adjust/top up as necessary, check brake pad thickness and replace if low. It's that sort of thing you want to do really.

    Our Ring Trip

    Mines perfectly fine for the journey across to the ring and it's not let me down (touch wood) so far. It's a stripped and caged cup that I go over in. What do you class as special preparations though? I take a few spares with me like a coilpack, injectors and rear discs (bearing failure) but...

    Get yourself down to Donington park farmhouse hotel for some food tony!! It's top notch and you can stagger back! Lol! ;)

    Corner weight gauge

    Yeah they're not to bad really mark. As with everything like that though, they're only as accurate as the end user! You need to be consistent with how you use them and it's also worth noting you have to do maths to get the weight distribution calculations.

    Steering feels lazy...

    So I'm assuming you checked the drivers side wheel then yeah? Also, changing the steering rack bushes is a pita if you've not got access to a ramp. You'll need your tracking resetting after this work has been carried out as well mate.

    Steering feels lazy...

    Check the steering rack bushes to see if there's any movement in them. Also check the steering arms for any play mate. Hold the wheel @ 3-9 and shake it. If there's play, you'll feel it.

    It's the same when you watch videos on YouTube tbh mate, or at least that's what I find.

    My cup is around 930kg. That's stripped, caged, perspex windows and still retains a full dash complete with heater.

    Nah it was one of the original (and best) gsi's on a J plate. Still got it! It had the let in it as well. Managed to eventually get it down to 8:56. Went the following year in the cup and pissed an 8:53. The Astra never got used again after that! Had twice the hp of the cup but just couldn't...

    In my defence I was in a mk3 Astra gsi so I should be praised for a monumental effort! Fpmsl!

    Our Ring Trip

    Yes that's true about GT as well. It was Ex Muhle that made me think, 'f**k! It's not like that on the game!' Lol! It was the tarmac, sky, trees then tarmac again! Doesn't do that on my sofa! First lap for me was a 9:52. Moved on a bit from there now - as you know chip!
  21. NorthloopCup

    Our Ring Trip

    I agree with chip on this one. I learnt the track on a ps2 and found it very good for knowing what corners were coming up and roughly what lines to take. What it can't teach you however is the gradients, actual real life corner speeds, little humps and bumps that throw you off line and the...

    197 Nurburgring Fail...

    I disagree there Jon_r I'm afraid. I never give a sharp stab of the brakes before or after the dip either. I have a confidence lift on the throttle and threaten/cover the brake pedal (which can be seen in my 8:31 ring lap on YouTube) then as soon as I'm down the dip, I'm immediately back hard on...

    Took the head off to find this...

    Is your bum sore? I'd imagine it's red raw tbh. Thats not worth salvaging either especially if your on a budget.

    No worries mate - worth an ask! eBay it is, along with a Quaife straightcut f20! Lol

    You interested in a pair of cast superlites chip? I've got a pair of lug mount 4 pots that will be for sale soon. 310x32mm rotors on ally bells as well.

    Tbf mate, I'd say that the majority of the deaths that occur from the nordschliefe are bikers. I saw one being air lifted off the track on my last visit, and witnessed the death of another biker on my first ever trip over there.

    Our Ring Trip

    Don't let the video put you off going there! That's something more of a one off tbh mate. It's the first and hopefully the last time I ever see something like that on the 'ring again. It was totally irresponsible. Also, you get idiots on uk trackdays. It's just more expensive if you bin it over...

    It is pretty much that tbh! It was just different thickness material on offer.

    Well having experienced spa last year for the f1 in August, I can safely say I would rather drive through the night to get there, do the trackday then drive back home rather than stay over night! Granted we camped out for the f1, but I have a decent 4 seasons sleeping bag and that couldn't even...
