Cup almost through some hedges

[poundrick]

Ive still got adrenaline running through my veins, I was on the way back to my office an hour ago down some tight country lanes, i only took my eyes off the road for a second and a tight right hand bend was on me, I turned in but the car didnt want to go round so I had to brake, oh sh*t it just went in a straight line with a screech of tyres towards a set of bushes, I took my foot off the brake and the car decided to straighten up and go round the bend, I sh*t myself.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF ABS CAN BE ADDED TO THE CUP AS A AFTER PURCHASE ADD ON.

 

[Bryan]

yes



but dealer options like that are always very expensive

 

[poundrick]

Is there a 3rd party that can fit it rather than renault themselves

 

[Bryan]

dunno??

would take quite a bit of investigation

 

[poundrick]

Where do you suggest I start mate

 

[Dust]

Company called Race Logic. They have a website, not sure of it thou... Search on Google. They do all after market TC units etc. May have some idea.

ABS might not have helped all that much in that situation m8, even with abs you should never brake on a bend (probably easier said than done when theres bushed getting really big in the windscreen I know!) I rekon ABS is more of a taste thing it doesnt allow you to drive like a nutter and get away with it or owt

 

[BikeMan]

Save your money, learn how to cadence (sp?) brake and drive a bit slower on unfamiliar roads...

 

[Rich-D]

ABS probably wouldnt have saved you in that situation anyway...

Nah, ABS allows you to brake into corners at higher speeds without locking the front wheels. But ABS is for pussies! Mc F1 doesnt have it, nor do most Tivers!

Well thats a new word CADENCE, ill try to remember that when im doing 50 round a bend, I have just sold my VTS and am slowly getting used to the handling of the cup.

Wish me luck

 

[Bryan]

you should be very used to the arse end stepping out on corners then if you have just got rid of a saxo

driving styles should still remain the same though

 

[Chad]

ESP might have helped a bit

 

[Rich-D]

The Cup should be less tail happy than the VTS was...

 

[poundrick]

The VTS I had was dropped right on its arse so it went round corners like a go kart, the cup is standard, it seems to lean a lot more but its more predictable than the VTS

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

It cant be fitted

 

[paddymph]

All cup owners are sh*tbags and cant drive

thats a joke BTW

karts go round sideways.
