Not only is it slower in a straight line, there's bugger all difference round a track, and that's fact.

These will be for sale next week with some decent, though heavily used track rubber (A032's) attached... Click me...

Agree ^^^ Cup all the way.

I think it looks really nice Bubbles... But I'm amazed no-one has asked this question yet...how much weight saving?

Ooh, that looks like he must have ploughed into you. Such a sh*tter with Brands on Monday mate, I really feel for you.

Jerks about? Torque steer from worn down tyres?

Nothing wrong at all with standard suspension. It has lots of give, and allows you to play at the limit. Get used to it on standard before doing anything else IMO.

Nice one - enjoy it :) Only Easytrack days? You should get yourself along to some of the Renaulsport days - heavily subsidised, limited numbers, open pitlane, and pretty cheap too. There's 30+ of us at Brands on Monday.

Where does the "V8" bit come from? Looked like a straight-six to me. Bike was definitely not going for it from the lights.

Circa. 2250 I think came into the UK. Only a handful (80 or so) were Silver. Probably down to about 1750 in total now, and of those, 750 that haven't been chavved up LOL

Nice one fella. Get it on a trackday next...the smile then becomes a permanent fixture :D

You can see him turn into it to get the momentum going back the other way. Good skills.

Nice :)

I want a shorter 5th ratio. Can you do that Fred?

Assuming a 4 week month = 24 days x 56 miles = total monthly mileage of 1,344. Averaging say 34 mpg, you'll use 39.5 gallons, which converts to 179 litres at £1 per litre... Budget for about £200 a month and you should have it covered.

There are 4.546 litres per imperial gallon, so 20 litres = 4.39 gallons. Divide 151 by 4.39 = 34.3223

34.3223 mpg Back to school for you young sir ;)

Aye, that it would :)

I'd want a price too on the lightest Cobra seat going (so long as it won't kill me on my daily commute).

You haven't bought and Audi, or BMW, or Mercedes, but one of the finest hot-hatches money can buy. Good brakes squeal (as do women), live with it ;)

LMAO R8TDL? This "place", by it's very definition means that people come and go all the time, with a dynamic base of users dropping in and dropping out. You yourself are a recent sign-up... So, with your 3 month 76 post history on here, can we count on yourself as a volunteer to...

No idea mate, way beyond my technical abilities.

Isn't mate... Mark's comparing a standard weight 182 with a standard engine, to his lightweight 182 with a 205bhp motor.

Listing now removed.

fUbAr :o I dropped the R-sport on at 2.5k, and I'm now on 66k so I really can't say on that front as I'd not had it long enough to really learn how to drive it properly. I can say that the recent decat has made no difference whatsoever to mpg though.

I've got loads of clumps of rubber all over my tyres which are getting changed onto new wheels on Friday, so they'll need to be rebalanced. What's the best way to get all the crap off...paint stripper gun and metal spatula?

It's not the 172 Cup that does it...it's my Origin b2 Camera detector thing. 0-60? I think about 6 seconds dead?

Origin b2 overspeed warning set to go off at 80mph...but it runs 2-3 seconds behind.

I think mine is a yellow plastric ring on the end?

No point...it does its best work in the mid-range, so I only take it high enough to drop back into the meat of the torque curve. On-track is where the extra revs help, saves unecessary gear changes if you can hang on to a gear that little bit longer.
