    What db are people's exhaust and setups??

    Akrapovic full system, KTR induction, cold October morning at Thruxton but well warmed up and increased revs very slowly I think the chap said 77! I repeated it to him and there was no response, so guess it was 87; either way, win :) Don't know the drive by dB; a previous car I had with...

    TYRES - What should I get next ?

    Quick update to say I'm very impressed with the PS4's! 30psi all round & performing very well; now scrubbed in & learning how to drive the Gripper'd Clio properly :)

    A difficult decision; amazing photos Love reflective January, arty October and scenic April, September & December For me, the winner's November; subtle and stunning Great profile centrepiece with impressive contrasts; the darker colour combination of car, wheels & trees works really well...

    POTM - November 2017

    Misty morning before first track day at Thruxton in the Clio 200 with a mate's 182 -2 degrees on part-worn 888s down foggy country lanes at 06:30!

    AD08R tyre pressure for coming months.

    Intriguing thread! I tried 30 all round hot on 888Rs at Thruxton, it was mostly brilliant, but got a fair bit of understeer at Campbell. I put this down to being my first track day in the car, soon after buying, plus poor line / speed / braking / steering! May be I'll try 30/36 hot at the...

    Haha! Good man Chris :) Reckon I'd get PSS if made decision again now but the PS4 will do me right through all seasons

    TYRES - What should I get next ?

    Think it's to do with more powerful modern cars having bigger wheels. Am getting on better with the PS4 after a few miles, obviously not as grippy or responsive as the 888Rs, but drove over some standing water on motorway limit road with no dramas, whereas anything over 50 would be a bit...

    TYRES - What should I get next ?

    Had the PS4 's fitted y'day; I'm reserving judgement until I've covered a few miles as came from 888's, the sealant thing they come with, and the fitter told me he'd put 2.5bar (33psi) all round; said he does this with every car! I mentioned all cars have different recommended pressures, his...

    TYRES - What should I get next ?

    4 x PS4 ordered! Good offer that @Greg0986 I went with blackcircles.com as I've had good service with them before and can use a garage I'm happy with (few quid more) 4MICH40 (£40 off 4; it works for PSS too although not advertised, they come in slightly cheaper at under £400 for 4 fitted) PS4...
