    2006 Deep Black Track Shed BudgetBoltOnBuild

    Yeah it's very much a personal preference. I just found they felt a bit soft and had a more pronounced "window" of grip. They did however switch on immediately and felt grippy from the pit lane. My main concern with them is how nervous the car felt under braking, I do like the rear to be a bit...

    I'm 99% certain I ordered this boss for mine. https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/omp-steering-wheel-boss-kit-ompod0-1960-re787a/ I went for the deepest dish wheel I could get because I like having the wheel close to me, easier to get my arms crossed over, none of that wheel shuffling stuff going on.

    If you go full cage and big winged seats then sure, a quick release wheel makes sense but otherwise it's just asking for an annoying friend in the pits to steal it...

    Not much to report as of late. Only a few little bits. I had to pick up a new seat, my Sabelt was decent to begin with but now the car is more capable, I end up with fairly meaty bruises on my thighs where the side of the seat digs in. So in keeping with everyone else on here, a Corbeau Pro...

    They make his mega expensive exhaust even more expensive and just about legal for trackdays :tearsofjoy: :grin:

    Update from the May bank holiday session at Snetterton. Mr Northern YouTuber man has publicly dropped the video review of my car. Safe to say he enjoyed himself! Session 1 was wet. Session 2 also wet, he came over to me towards the end of the day when the track had dried out and took the car...

    Have you considered a career move? Renaultsport Specialist perhaps?

    Thankfully there's a release inside! Alex won't be happy with having to crawl through the cage though...

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    I had a few exits in 3rd and it felt mega slow, 2nd feels the best for the exit of Nelson. With the 3rd/4th gear through bumbhole, I found 4th feels like it has more grip but again, it's all down to preference.

    That's a 5 second penalty for track limit abuse right there. Jonathan Palmer will be in touch with a bill for the grounds repair!

    Oh not you Gav, you were going well all day. I meant Ethan with his fancy 2:17 last year! I've not seen anything come up, I think you need to put my email in again to share it like you did before? I'll have another look.

    I'm glad it wasn't just me that was slower on the day too. At the beginning of the month I managed a 2:20 and yesterday I was putting in constant 2:23/24s with a couple of 2:22s. I don't know if it was me or Wes that dipped into the 21s but everyone seemed to be a few seconds off pace yesterday...

    To be fair I'd actually forgotten I'd used the Fuchs Titan stuff until you mentioned it. Maybe just all the gunk working its way through? Who knows. We'll see!

    I did until I realised I'd put the wrong weight in, I went back to the OEM Elf stuff. Could just be all the fancy detergents doing their job, the sun was super bright yesterday so it was hard to see what was in the oil, I think it's just a case of paranoia setting in after a bunch of F4R...

    I missed this post. Chris runs a lot more camber (3.5 degrees?) plus the cup racer front end. Gave the car a well overdue clean last weekend, found out where all my brake pads have gone... Lots of contamination on the wheels, now the car is no show pony but it was getting absolutely hanging...

    Not sure on that to be fair. I found mine to be mega handy last week, obviously it's not going to be as comprehensive as the Garmin but for the price, the Racebox is a great bit of kit.

    Jimmy is at Snetterton with us this month, is he not? I've been looking for your sessions to pop up on Racebox but I've not seen them yet, it's been a handy tool when other people have driven the car so I can actually see their entry speeds and apex speeds compared to my own.
