It wasn't slow!
What has been done to it?
cheers man. mr2 sounded and went like the titsI've got a bit of footage when I was behind for half a lap or so. I'll put together a highlights video later with you in it.
Too much negative camber maybe, where the contact patch is reduced to the insides. The additional weight will have increased the patch maybe, dunno strange one. I found the M1155 quite consistent in the Clio but totally different cars.It wasnt the bends where he was fast. It was the stopping zones. I could do the bends with him.
Mitex 1155. Pedal either felt dead as in no slowing or was verging on locking all 4 and the car wasnt underneath me. I had to feather early.
I am suspecting its geometry based as when another passenger was with me I could brake hard and in a straight line.
Good crack, see ya again next year!
I was well impressed with the Twiglet, held it's own just fine. You gave the MR2 more of a scrap than most Clio's out there to be fair.It felt a bit lacking on the straights but it is only a 1149cc. Few bits just bolt ons, air filter, returned fuel system, 172 injectors, decat and exhaust. Mapped by Chris at efiparts. soft wolowy AP coilovers and pug brakes on 172 disks. All on road brake pads and tires.
With you on the contact patches. I have some settings to try. It just a pain with the exige as its shims here and there to change some bits and then the usual method on others. Its also a pain taking it to track to verify!Too much negative camber maybe, where the contact patch is reduced to the insides.

Aye I was trying to push @benji93 out of the way through port froid, come round and just saw you doing a wild 360. I said to whoever was in the passenger seat of mine that you f**king held it well, I bet there was a release of brown a adrenaline!!?It was only a full 360 rotation.
I did what any good racedriver would do after a 360 spin , checked my tyre pressures and went for a courtesy wipe at the bogs after.
Got back on it again though and no more spins.
I was quite chuffed with myself. Kept the engine running and just pulled away hoping noone had noticed. Eldest son told my 1/2 of Yorkshire saw it.
You and that josh lad loved the 1.80 croftons cat piss!Thanks to all who turned out. You lot really make the festival.
As has been said, his has been the best year yet. Turn out was stronger, trader stands were bigger, more people entered the show and shine, the track was constantly heaving, were really going from strength each year.
It’s always good to catch up with people and still be putting faces to names after so many years
Roll on next time!
It took me quite a while on Sunday morning to work out why I don’t remember a whole lot of Saturday night.
Then I remembered you didn’t want your bottle of cider! Lol
Was brilliant catching up dude, cheers for the passenger rides too

The thing sounded insane ?hopefully I'll be back in it next year with a wider track, better brakes and some sticky tires rather than the old t1r and TR1 tire combo ??
Did you have a dyslexic episode when you bought the tyres?hopefully I'll be back in it next year with a wider track, better brakes and some sticky tires rather than the old t1r and TR1 tire combo ??
Did you have a dyslexic episode when you bought the tyres?
ha, nah I'm cheap, I only replace when I get the miles out them. old t1rs had life so stayed on the back and put the newer tr1 on the front ? deadly in the morning on a damp greasy track mind.....
a tiny 1149cc engine and a few bolt ons reallyOh is that your red twingo? Looked interesting that, what's in it? Do like the twingos
secretly hoping my brother buys a 133. really like em, looked decent for a 1.1!a tiny 1149cc engine and a few bolt ons really
133 is a good car but so underpowered tbh. @bloke built a turbo one mind.... the gt i have is basically a low spec clio front and rear so can be upgraded in all the same way. Ill probably end up fitting the 172 suspension to it soon but mapped up its basically 150/150 bhp/lbft. I replaced my last 182 with this as a commuter and it still returns 45/47mpg average
@blokes? not sure how much boost he ran on the 133. My Gt comes from factory with a turbo, 99bhp though (or 101bhp depending on where you look)Oh right, it's a low boost turbo?

@Filters even tried copying you on jochen and he nearly got wiped out by @Adeyspec and me because the marshall was slow to react??
Luckily I only had one point where I was scraping linen when @Don was passenger, first lap and I tried going for the heroic give it beans and overcooked it on the first corner?♂️? That being said the tyres got stupid warm, stupid quick and went up to 40 psi from about 25 cold?
I think everything on your car tried parting ways at one point in the day?I didn’t try anything ?
The diff tried parting ways with the box and locked the front left ??♂️?
Racing driver excuses galore ??

I've just been looking at the csf pictures thread and the display of raffle prizes is huge. The team did a great job of getting through it quickly with minimal errors and we raised a fantastic total for a charity that although their field of expertise has become quite prominent the last few years they are still just a small outfit. Bravo cliosport ?.
Yeah, you better get blagging for next year now to beat it?.Was a huge haul this year! ?
Great generosity from old and new companies.
I think everything on your car tried parting ways at one point in the day?
What was it you said "Quickest N/A round the track"??? That's only if it makes it round there???
@Filters don't think we met on track? What time did your box give in?
Ahh was you out with @Den15 by any chance? The CSF19 curse ???Sadly not mate I’d had issues all day. Started motor died after the first 6 laps ? then the diff started following suit.
