Probably not enough of a clip to make into the Clio Media section - so here's a teaser...

I'm responsible for one of the Cups competing at the weekend :-) Drove it there with my 2 children, a 4-man tent and the kitchen sink. Cracking weekend of sport and had some fun clocking a 48.18 sec climb on the Sunday. The car has a sports cat, matched inlets, a JMS/Henk remap and a v6 air box...

Quick update on events entered/planned: Wiscombe Hillclimb 14 & 15 May (Dave Norman also entered in a Clio on Sunday - which is great) Castle Combe Dick Mayo Sprint 25 June Loton Park, August 14 Wiscombe Hillclimb 3 & 4 September

Cheers for the replies.

Thanks for the replies. I've been running list 1b at ASWMC events for a while in the series production class. I believe the MSA has now permitted 1a and 1b - so this brings the rest of the country in line with our championship: Wheels and tyres 11.6.1. Deleted. 11.6.2. Except for Period...

Advice needed... Have a pair of r888 in soft compound in 195x50x15 - bought off eBay and in good nick. Need another pair - cannot find/order in this size and compound due to lack of availability. Found a set in 205x50x15.... So I thought about using the 195s at the rear and the new 205s...

Bike engined car is on my list of things to do before I croak it. Bet you'll have fun with that...

Thanks for posting the April 2006 VOSA article. My Cup was initially 'failed' due to low rear brake effort. Once I faxed the report through it prompted the tester to call VOSA who explained things. I've 30% going both rear discs fwiw. Cheers. Dan

Aiming for May 21/22 Wiscombe - Castle Combe Sprint in June (Bristol Motor Club Centenary celebration weekend) + possible Mamhead (Torquay MC) + 5 Clubs Wiscombe 3-4 Sep. Maybe a few more if time + funds allow...

I hillclimb my Cup. Looking forward to a few outings this year in the South West region having had a year off. Let us know if this is your backyard. Just back from JMS having upgraded the few mods I had on the motor... just getting the blog going...www.autosportdiaries.com/blog Cheers Dan

Nice one. Yup - A3 - it looks like you'll wee on my times once you get hold of the softer compound rubber :-) Gotta say it will give you at least 1.5 sec. Not bad over 1/2 mile. I'm hoping to do more events in 2011 as I've taken an enforced sabbatical this year due to a house extension. I'll...

Ta muchly.

I've had my Cup since 2006, and it had already been lightly tweaked by GDI, courtesy of the previous owner (John Brewster/Redditch). Sensible mods and the main reason why I went for this motor. It has the GDI Viper inlet package, manifold matching, sports cat and an SMT-6 chip. I use the car...

Anyone found the V70a cheaper than £105 inc vat for tyre size 205x45x16 (Peter Lloyd Rallying)? If so where? Thanks. Dan

Mmm. I'm going to use soft compound V70a during the summer - but not yet totally decided on the camber adjustment as the car will remain on the road throughout the year.

Track - hill climbs/sprints. Added stability on cornering is the primary reason for the adjustment - by maximising tyre contact on the tarmac (at least through the wheels taking the most punishment through the corner). Supposed to make a good bit of difference.

I'd like to have 2 degrees of negative camber at the front. Is this a straightforward adjustment on a 172 Cup or is there more involved? Anyone recommend a good place to get this done within Thames Valley area (would probably combine this with a service to make it worth while)? Cheers Dan

Thanks, - and yes, only marginally lowered on Eibach sportlines.

Anyone know for sure that a 205/45/16 V70A KUMHO tyre will fit the standard 172 cup 16" Turinis (where the oem Contisports are 195x16x45)? Thanks Dan
