I thought that then took it out on track, didn't miss a beat. Maybe a fresh fluid flush/bleed but apart from that I think they're up to the job as they are.

Nice. The love for these wee things is growing by the day. They'll be appreciating before long LOL.

Don't get me wrong, mine is hard, but only when you load it up. At the beginning of the spring's travel (the progressive bit I guess) it seems to have a lot of give, so the primary ride, running over manhole covers, rough surfaces etc. is nice and smooth. Out on track in April so will see...

Well I'm making progress - got my first positive k/d last night LOL Missing the double-XP though.

As above, do pads up front and a fluid bleed/flush. Can't stress too much about leaving the rear brakes alone though. They do nothing, so any money spent makes brakes that do nothing do it better.

Sportline's are definitely progressive. Mine's all velvety over rough roads compared to standard. I'd say Sportlines work better on the Cup, as with less weight to support, the Prolines would put it up on stilts.

Yup. They've got to be in the process of a flag capture on Domination for it to count.

Nice work. I think my point has been missed though...I accept that there'll be a reduction in rotational inertia, and that the car could therefore build a wheel's rotational speed faster if it weighed less, but the mass of the car that the engine has to accelerate will only ever be reduced by...

No. There is not less weight to accelerate and deccelerate, there's less mass for the springs/dampers to have to deal with, which means the suspension can cope with what the road throws at it more efficiently. I myself binned the 16s years ago. I understand that there's minor differences in...

Yup. It's the only way I can fit the Ignis on the drive behind - I park both by 'touch'. The missus hates it LOL.

Really? Here's mine before the change on standard springs...

Have you found your brakes lacking as they are?

Mark, somewhere between Worthing and Bognor... My daily hack... My toy...

Didn't EVO magazine send the one they had as a long-termer back to Toyota shortly after it arrived? IIRC no one wanted to drive it, ever, so they told Toyota to come pick it up. Seems it misses the mark by quite a margin in a lot of areas.

My rear disks have been rusty for pretty much the last 125k miles. Car goes and stops just fine so not really bothered. Sounds to me that it's just low efficiency at play...although it might be a sticking caliper piston.

Try HIC - they love my modded Cup. Say you're in a car club, say you go to car shows, say you subscribe to car magazines, and along with the limited mileage it should mark you out as an enthusiast and therefore less likely to stack it.

Ooooh...very nice noise.

Mine sits a bit high as it's been stripped but here you go...

I just roll the front wheel onto a piece of 2x4 wood, jack then goes under, done.

Re-balances the AK74...gives it a little less help when re-centering after firing if you have the grip fitted. Reduces the blast radius and effect of the RC-XD. Credits you with the kill if you put someone into last stand when they finally bleed out or are finished off by a team mate. Plus your...

FLOL, a good start to the day that was.

That looks very nice. I always secretly lusted after one of these while running my 1.6 Zetec into the ground. That handled well enough, so with a better/firmer setup, and another 70 bhp, what's not to like :approve:

Where's the rifle then? I can't see one?

Mmm, mmm, mmmmmmmmmmm.

That's what I do with no problem with the pedal spacing...

Our new Scenic is great for it LOL...the missus hates it when I do it. On my Cup, I've never found them anything other than perfect...I can almost completely cover the brake and still have plenty of foot left over to roll off to the right and blip. Check out the burpspeed race car progress...

I'm gutted I forgot my camcorder. Great pics...anyone get any of my filthy beast?

Good to see everyone today. Happy with my result, despite using almost a whole tankful to cover 100 miles plus the RR runs, accompanied by the relentless smell of petrol. 208 bhp from a 197 with just a panel filter though, now that's insane, not possible. ;)

Mine has this setup, Sportlines and standard dampers. Not had it on track yet, but feels absolutely fine on the roads. The progressive nature of the springs is the most noticeable difference to me...they really soak up all the little bumps, but properly firm up when you lean on them a bit.

They'll be good, but only 185 wide...which might help my target of over 190bhp for a non-cammed Cup :approve: Will still have the standard 205s on the back so will look a bit odd LOL
