Look good Saner. Trying to pull mine off now - left my sync cable at work so having to e-mail them all from phone to PC...taking ages :( Video clips of the 525bhp Skyline on the rollers came out well though ;)

Exactly. I've done 82k mile on the original rear pads. What does that tell you about how much work they do?

Thanks Ben, makes sense now why the manifold rework delivers such good results.

Knowing what 1*2 engines come off the line like, I'd have thought automated process would have meant wide variations in power...or were they finished by hand? Off topic slightly...is balancing a worthwhile effort Ben? On something with 80k that might need some TLC?

I've seen that one before, looked s*** with the 15s.

Race engine, 280bhp, 3 litres, 93bhp/litre? Not much is it? There's a few NA road cars with higher relative (or is it specific?) outputs than that's got.

Be happy you've got 52%, most Cups give less.

I didn't mean it to sound like he caused it Ang...but I don't doubt that we was the main contibuting factor. Come to think of it, if you had pulled out, there probably wouldn't have been an accident, as he would have seen you at the back of a stationery queue.

I can stop by and poke you in the eye if it would hep you see sense?

Lovin' the Ignis :)

I'm serious, and take this as a compliment but you caused the crash without a doubt in my opinion. Your car's racing blue right? Was it clean when it happened? My mate's racing blue 182 looks like it has it's own powered light source such is the way it just sits there and glows. You said...

That's nuts.

Ditto that, sums it up perfectly.

Without question he sailed past you staring at your front calipers, probably dribbling slightly. You say the traffic was easily visible from half aa mile away, but most people don't even spot the brake lights of the car two ahead, let alone focus 1/2 mile away.

Falkens are OK. Got some on my wife's Focus and it seems to behave alright. A lot of the Castle Combe racers run on Falken 451's shaved down to 2-3mm, very good apparently.

I refularly get 14 on track running Vpower, but on Tesco 99, I get 11 because it's crap.

Tasty

I always found standard pads to be too grabby, too abrupt. No pressure at all then BANG, you headbut the windscreen.

This was from before that. Can't decide if I should just have it re-set as is on standard springs/dampers, or go the whole hog and whack on some Bilsteins while I'm at it.

Exactly - having the inside knowledge passed on from someone who properly knows the track makes such a difference. I'd have been turning in at the cone at the Bekham Esses all day long if it weren't for him telling me to go in earlier and use the throttle to pull the front through. Much...

I asked the same question 9 months ago. Couldn't get a definitive answer so gave the Pagids a try. Haven't looked back since.

Not yet, got to get some use out of the recent springs/dampers first. Just to add to my first post, I'ver checked tyre pressures already.

My Cup feels strange and I don't like it. It's keener than ever on turn in, but feels ever ready to tip into oversteer. The slightest steering input sometimes feels like it starts to scrub, while the back seems ready to go. I've not provoked it yet to test. I first really noticed on the...

Looks like you had a great introduction to the joy that is trackdays in a RS Clio. From the photos looks like you were pushing hard, how did you find it?

Nice clip. He was comfortable throwing it around wasn't he :)

I had a tussle with one on track at Bedford, show him a short straight and he f***ed off into the distance, you can hear the noise of its V8 screaming over the racket mine makes, lovely. Click

Lovely colour, looks mint.

Nice!

Looks nice. Good to see the Mk III's suffer from rusty brake discs too.
