The one on the left, everyday of the week

The other one is a bit more relaxing to drive thou

found some vinyl so put on a sunstrip quickly, turned out pretty well.

Also painted the alloy recaro mounts which turned out to be a rather long winded process of sanding and prepping. Again , turned out fairly well so far

And we’re in

Little car did good last night at Donington for my first track day in it. I was concerned on the drive down as it didn't feel right at all the way it was rotating - when i checked the type pressures the fronts were 38 and one of the rears was 8. So sorted that and had some steady laps. Feels a lot more lively and frantic than the meg and the 197 but did had a couple of understeer moments, specifically at craners but i think it was due to cold tyres.

I did really enjoy the session and felt a lot more confident towards the end once I'd figured out the handling.

 

[YorkshireKyle]

I enjoyed our little stint, I'm glad you lifted before craners. I went through there a few times without lifting at all through that entire section, and coming into that right hander made me f**king poo myself

I did it twice, after the second time I just kept it sensible and lifted a bit before to scrub off some speed

 

[Clart]

Yeah was great - i had my daughter in the car or i would have kept up with you

First few laps of craners i slighty touched the kerb on the left and it just seemed to tramline me off to the right with no grip!

Its such a great section that, must be one of the best of all UK tracks.

I did wonder why you weren't pushing it hard, after watching you drive the Megane I did think you were going slower than usual

Craners are nuts. When I did Donnington a few years back I remember looking down half way through them at the Speedo and going “f**k me it says 110” and then massive lift off oversteer at the bottom as I wasn’t concentrating into to the last corner as I did not believe at all I was doing 110, to the point where I was planning how I was getting home that day while sliding towards the barrier. Brown pants moment. But yes, I know I was nowhere near 110.
Looking at everyone’s threads makes me miss out but I had already booked the Nurburgring this weekend. Glad everyone had a good time!

When I had tuition at Donington I was told not to lift off through Craners, the one time I did the car was very unsettled & the instructor just said I told you

 

[robzracing]

Craners is fantastic... until it isn't. I rolled at Craners about 10 years ago and it took me a good few years to find my confidence there again. Now I absolutely love it again.

Thinking of refurbing the 2118s, what we thinking colour wise?

silver? bronze? leave as is?

I'd go white but i've already got some white evo corse with PS3s that i might fit for a bit of road driving.

I like the red

It's a complimentary colour to blue so goes well

 

[Clart]

I did some colour swaps but they look a bit dull

 

[RSRowe]

Silver > anything else

 

[cat171]

For track use I'd keep them as they are (or have two sets of wheels, one for road use)

If you're driving it on the road regularly, go for a different colour so you don't look like a try hard knobhead.

 

[RustyMojo]

Silver! Think it would look mega with Silver wheels

 

[Brigsy]

Silver or white for me. Anthracite if you cant be arsed cleaning them, as silver and white will be pitted after one press of the brakes.

 

[NickReilly063]

Silver - I had these done a few weeks ago for a member and the colour and sparkle looked amazing.

 

[Jamie]

Personally, RB and white looks great imo

 

[Jekyll]

What about red, but more of a vibrant postbox red?

 

[Clart]

Slightly annoying - tester said he couldn’t get the rear brakes to pass.

 

[Clart]

We passed, rear calipers were partially seized, but 2 issues, one is the spoiler light not working and 2 is when i lock the car i get a high continuous beeeeeeep. Maybe putting that one down to it being a bit hot and bothered.

Can you get an LED light replacement for the cup spoiler?

 

[Brigsy]

Continuous beep when locked is due to the alarm thinking a door or something is open. Faulty bonnet switch is common, or if door open light is on all the time its a fault on door or boot switch.

 

[MAXRUNDOWN]

You can get an LED replacement from a place called Barthel auto solutions, I have one fitted to mine, however if the light isn't fitted it can't be tested so a strip of black electrical tape over it will be a pass too.

It didn’t fail as it’s not required to pass

If it's fitted it has to be tested and work, even the reference they've used states it's a fail.

 

[Clart]

Ah well
