RS 197/200 cheap as chips to run. Try an Evo or Subaru for a while you will soon see;)

I have the rs2's & very good value & playful on track. Not sure what your looking for but have a look at Federal RSR's as these will be the next must have tyres. Are used as control tyre in several race series, where 888's were used due to price. You heard it here first ;)

Buy some used wheels as they will get abused. Spend your money on brake pads, tyres & tuition;)

Re: TRack wheel weigh? Trust me you will no notice a difference. Going from 16 to 15 it's mainly the cheaper tyres that everyone does it for! So you save a few grams here & there but the driver tops the scales at 15 stone, really going to make a difference. If your going for the...

Re: TRack wheel weigh? Don't worry about weight of wheels make F@@k all difference.

Good to see you again, looking well. Did you get burnt?

I was looking for an R27 2 yrs ago, needed to be mint. I viewed many & none were. A dealer offered me a fully spec'd 197Cup that it's lady owner could not get on with. Went to view, GW 197 Cup with black speedlines, air con, recaro's etc etc thought i'd hate it. But on viewing & condition...

Looks like the next generation clio to me, due out 2011?

Anyone fancy Donington 1st Oct?

^^ No thats Phils Turbo. Mine was the Silver mk3.

Good to met you all, it was a steep learning curve for me! Got any vids of the first time out on track or even better my off road at the Esses (who's was the yellow clio with novice badge?:D) All i've ever learnt about trackdays had to be thrown out window & start again. No longer trail...

They delaminate on track if you overheat them.

Like there used prices, way off!

I'd spend it on trackdays & tuition & you will soon see brakes are fine as is handling. Std 197 is very accomplished car if you can drive, not think you can drive;)

Hankooks, take a look Sat.

That is 182's that never venture on track :rasp:

Shhhh you heard it here; http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CCoQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ityre.com%2Fen%2Ftyres%2Fcatalog%2Ffederal%2Fmodel%2F21688%2F&ei=bMBhTMyJH5mI0wSCysSHCQ&usg=AFQjCNFynvEXuPtpf_5HELdrpr4K_gFOtw These are the latest £ for £ best buy according to forums...

Especially when pushing on & you wear out the mich mans head on side of tyre, side walls are too soft. Very good road tyre/wet track tyre but gets destroyed by RS2's on road & track

Hankook Rs2's or Federal RSR's. Both are road legal so stick on car drive to circuit & back again. Leave mine on from March till it gets too cold. Done a good few road miles & will be 4 trackdays since April still wearing even & plenty of tread to go. My avatar is my tyres.

Panny plasma everytime for me. @ work we have all sorts of makes of screen from 32" to 65" & over the pannys are excellent. Don't get too anal about pictures etc as the avforums do (so of them look for faults i just watch the match) as everyones taste is different ;)

The claim culture has started to bite ! Us old bstards should be alright;) Also when your motor reaches certain age panels etc become rare hence costs spiral.

Hope you get it sorted. Any footage of today as some mates were there in mx5's??

Stay with Pe2's as safe bet. If you ventured on track ;) http://www.federaltire.com/en/html/pdetail.php?DB=motosports&pdline=3&ID=3

You know when they get too hot as the rubbers on the calipers melt :o

They do tend to glaze with lots of town driving & frequent wheel washing. A trip into the countryside ;) usually clears that up:D

Check tyre pressures? My 197's brakes were emense, but they loved to get hot.

Don't touch it !

Re: Trophy #433 Get a proper strap on that wheel if you value yor life!

Jim did you get to try the launch control? For a big barge it motors even down the tight lanes of my favorite circuit. I bet OJ's pleased :D

Zen.
