    R20 BTG - 200 Cup Track Car Blog

    Had the tyres squealing on the Hyundai! It certainly has a very mobile rear end, definitely not made for understeer.

    I seem to have bought a different car!

    Honest opinion of the car. I thought it was fantastic on track as a standard car. Given that it had just about 800 miles on it and that I was not that familiar with it, the only issue I would say I had was that I had not realised the I had only turned the stability control down rather than fully...

    Big Bens non Clio

    Brilliant Clio turn out, thank you all. Glad you didn't set fire to it, had the potential to be a proper big bonfire! :grinning:. Things could always be a lot worse as well, you could own a Lotus!

    I seem to have bought a different car!

    It is incredibly similar to the Clio in many ways, and in others very different. 53.4mpg on the motorway going to Goodwood for one!

    I seem to have bought a different car!

    I need to re-read the run in details. It does say that you should not go on track under a certain mileage. It will certainly be doing the sighting laps!

    For a car I ordered without even driving one, you couldn't at the time, it is rather good.

    Track Day Tyre Pressure

    Late to the party. Exactly right about Nitrogen, it still follows the gas laws and expands, it is the moisture it does without. same reason it is used in airplanes, so the very cold temperatures does not freeze the moisture. To check tyre temperatures, you really need a tyre probe as the IR...

    Warning messages

    As there is no electrical forum, I will try here. I have just been to Spa and back. In typical fashion on the Tuesday coming home before I left on Wednesday, I get a check air bag warning. It only takes 20 minutes to get home and came on a couple of times and went off after about a minute...

    Weird cruise control issue with steering wheel buttons

    Yes you can clean them, I have done it. You need to remove the air bag, which can be a pain in the arse as you have to faff about trying to locate a clip through a small hole in the back of the wheel. I took the switches completely apart and cleaned them. I may even have used some very fine...

    2006 Deep Black Track Shed BudgetBoltOnBuild

    My oil pressure switch looked like it had come from the Titanic when it decided to scare me on the wat home from Brands last December. That would be my first port of call.

    Track Day Tyre Pressure

    Firstly, tyres wear. It is the way it is. Dunlop is a very good tyre, the complaint always is "the shoulder has gone." I weighed my "standard" car at Donington, it weighed 1,250kg. I would look to run 34 to look after that. Tyres wear though. You can do 3+ hours on a track day. I wouldn't...

    R20 BTG - 200 Cup Track Car Blog

    Drives me mad! I had an email, which quoted the email I had sent to everyone a week before the event, saying "I didn't get the sign on links, can you send them. 5 lines down on the email it explains exactly how to get them and the reason they may not have arrived!

    Window module

    I recently bought the whole window regulator, which is the whole lifting mechanise including motor and Temic control module for £204 including the vat from my local Renault dealer. Considering the amount of time I had been messing around to try and get what was an 11 year old system to work...
