I've run DS2500s and Blues - Blues all day long for me, I found the DS2500s wilted a bit too easily. Plus I got almost 30k miles from the Blues so the extra cost spreads itself that much further.

LOL, watching that it was always going to happen.

Re: My 182, six months of ownership in words and pics Nice thread. As you said...take tuition and get on track, that's all you have to do.

That sounds extreme - especially with all that turbo torque! Must be quite a different beast to drive? 3rd of April's out for me...take my daughter swimming every friday afternoon :( Any other days planned so far for this year? My trackday diary's clear at the moment...I just have to take...

LOL Nutter. I'm hoping to get to Combe before July this year...I'll let you know when.

That's just lush.

No idea. My 172 cup one was 21kgs including the mount/runners etc. if that's any help? What went back in weighed 6 :approve:

107,000 miles on mine, shifts very smoothly with no resistance or notchiness. Never had even the slightest sense that it wasn't working anything other than 100%. Heel and toe FTW.

Good work franx! Watch the CAF against the various bolts etc. sticking out from the engine...mine was rubbing and in no time at all I had a hole in it. No problem, just a few more cable ties to keep it away.

Tasty.

Braided lines are better for pedal feel and position consistancy, having freshly bled fluid is better for your health. Do that and stick with the pads/discs. If you kill them off, try something else.

That's how it works on trackdays. Over the course of a lap I closed up 2 seconds on him despite easing off in several places. That's why he let me pass.

W***ers. Sh*t roads anyway. :rasp:

Nope. You'll have too much pipework going on behind that front grill panel to route it that way.

I like the pops on the over run. Sound better than mine. :(

Click by click? The bit I was adjusting had no clicks in its movement...it was just out from the actuating arm, rod and sleeve with a pinch-bolt that could (almost) freely rotate. Have I missed something?

Supermarket slop makes mine rough and it won't pull cleanly on idle in traffic. Optimax then V-power for mine from new...in 107k only ever had maybe 5 full tanks of nastiness go through it. One thing for certain is that I go a lot further on V-power...I mean 43 mpg compared to 38 mpg. Only...

I tried that, over and over again for two hours. Having taken it out for a proper spin I've got 1,3,4,5 and neutral perfect, but reverse is nowhere to be found I'm going to watch Mike very closely when he fixes it.

With all that effort I hope it's a regular on track?

Well that's a load of b***cks. Kind of got all 5 but no reverse, and every now and then 3rd and 4th go AWOL for a bit. Rentech it is then.

Always does...much better inside...and rearwards is best :approve:

OK thanks, I'll give it a go. Got it up, just about to delve in.

After my run-in with a turn-in cone last weekend, I'm just about to stick the Cup on axle stands and get underneath. Bloke in the pits said the same thing happened to him, and that the 'pinch-bolt' had been knocked causing the linkage to not line up properly or something. Trial and error fixed...

I do, lovely.

Thanks to the delectable jon_r for the handy camerawork. Best viewed in HQ with the volume UP. Introducing, my back garden... acC7t0cLVOM

OMFG

I got 2-3 bhp from mine over an ITG panel filter. No noise increase for me, but then my CAF is loooong.

Cadwell's on my list too, looks stunning. Quite tight though isn't it?

Not done Oulton. The only time I dragged my ass up there for a day the trip up the night before took 9 hrs, and when I finally found the circuit in the next morning it was under 4 inches of snow. It's on my list for this year though without question. The only other circuit I could liken...

The first is an analysis of consistentcy [sp?] around the hardest corner I've got experience on. SvDKhLs7eY0 This next one is the reason for my 'off' at the end of the day. VZw0WQshR_4 Enjoy.
