k-tec are doing a carbon-fibre splitter a la Cup - should be ready by the end of this month. Cost will be lower than the Renault splitter, but theres just a chance that they might make it a bit max power-ish in which case Id still get the nice subtle Renault one.
With that mileage on the clock it should be fine. Have a look at the buyers guide on the homepage - its for the 16v model but theres lots of good advice that applies to buying any car.
We had a 1.6RXE - nothing went wrong with it. Its the 8 valve engine, but youll find its still pretty rapid...
If this is for Bedford expect about 4 hot laps then look out - the performance falls away really quickly (your tyres are sh*gged by then anyway). Other tracks vary - can do at least 10 in a session at Donington for example as its much less demanding on brakes and tyres.
Not sure it would make much difference. Sure the pads have different characteristics, but when the fluid overheats none of them will work anyway. Really need to uprate the brake fluid - the brakes themselves are fine.
LOL. I wish it was like this every time! The alternative strategy:
Head for corner way too fast. Turn wheel. Car doesnt change direction. Scenery approaching fast. Dab brakes and wait 0.5 seconds while back-end whizzes round. When car is pointing in desired direction, floor throttle.
This...
We were talking about this a while ago, but for a V6. Its difficult, as you dont know how long it will take to sell the tickets, so you cant give a winner to be drawn on ../../.. date. By the time the tickets are sold all the Cups might be gone!
