    Why is there a sound limit on tracks?

    I remember this when we were driving to the circuit, you could hear them from miles away. You could also hear the Porsche Cup cars. Hated the traffic so there was nothing better to do with a terrible hangover than get the windows down and have a listen

    I'd get it down to Kenny Brown in Hillington and let him set the height, camber etc. Then just mess around with hard/soft settings yourself.

    Your so lucky having all these tracks near by, Mugello was probably my favourite track on Forza Sounds great too !

    Saw the most unreal thing happen yesterday...[Someone else has seen him too[

    Thats pretty disturbing, you should have asked him if he will be getting the new Clio 200 T I doubt he's to happy with it being auto only :lol:

    Help put me off?

    I think the 265 projectors fit ;) One thing I would say is they are so capable thatit can almost be a boring spirited drive. My mate has a white 250 cup, I love everything about it but its just lacking that raw feeling at times. Saying that we're going to RS Tuning on Thursday for a Forge FMIC...

    Trackday brakes

    Im not going back to DS2500 after seeing the Mu/Temperature chart and reading up on them. Theyre more a fast road pad with the odd trackday thrown in.

    I didn't see the accident either just the car on the back of the lorry. Your car looks great cocking a wheel now and then on turn in. OJFd7o6oyaE I think I need one of those things to speed up the HZ rate of Harry's Lap Timer as the speed seems to be out. Unsure about in the corners but...

    That blue fiesta behind N0ddie and infront of me didn't want to move. He then wrecked in the tyre wall later. I've got a video following you once I passed the Fiesta if you want.

    215/225? tyres on 8J wheels

    Indeed you are ;) Comparing a 335 to a 195 isnt really in the same ball park as 215 & 225 :lol: If the empirical data on grip and lateral G is not affected then I tend to stand by the theory Found this ages ago when I was looking to fit the 235/40R17's (the picture shows what I was getting...

    215/225? tyres on 8J wheels

    215/45/17 or 235/40/17 the later kepps the rolling radius near spot on to standard. I prefered the car on the 215's as it was a bit edgier. It doesnt really, it just changes the shape of the contact area the size of the contact area will stay the same. A 225/45/17 tyre is much taller than...

    Buying an ex renaultsport demo car?

    Congrats on the car mate, I love my mates 250 the acoustic engine not thing is brilliant and when the exhausts changed for a 3" it really wakens the car up and sounds as it should have done. Thats what we all say :lol:

    Family RS Collection

    Great pictures, loving the 8.08/Trophy I totally agree, LY is best looking when its naked. LY R27s are one of the best looking 197s not to far behind Racing Blue :lol: But why we didn't get the black headlights still amazes me. First thing I'd do is change them over.

    Oh so tempted...

    Id love one. As Mike's said you can make a 225/R26 faster for less money if its the performance your after but imo... These cars are about that special feeling you get every time you jump in it. As for using it as a daily driver, you need to watch the miles you put on it. You'll struggle to...
