"You only need one seat buddy"

Don't be cheeky or I'll strap you in at Cadwell on Thursday.

I know the box you got as it was offered to me when mine blew up at Cadwell. I have a spare r26 LSD which was undamaged in the explosion which I'm looking at putting in a 225 box when one comes up. Had any joy with the door cards discussed earlier in your blog?

If your old box is a good one Mark, I would be interested as a spare. You would of been better chucking a gripper diff in your old box if its just a track car tbh. Much better the std r26 diff but not for road cars.

From the above info I guess they are M14 x 110 and will be a 12mm hex.

How can a tyre which won in 2005 come 5th in 2013, when the tyre which came 2nd in 2005 won in 2013? What the test fails to mention is which compound tyres where used, kumho v70's are a true Motorsport tyre which come in many compounds eg, k11 super soft, k22 soft, K60/61 medium and K90 hard...

I'm not saying a 2 piece is crap, quite the opposite as most race cars use them. Just pointing out the reasons why people may be having problems with fade on a road car and a set up which is very cheap and will out perform 330's and 2500's with ease on heavy track work. I see you use 330's and...

I'll try and help out here about a few things being discussed. 1 - a bigger disc will disperse heat better than a smaller disc is correct but a 330 2 piece disc has much less mass / contact area than a 312mm std full disc to disperse heat. You have the bell area on a std disc fully connected...

That information tells a poor story tbh. non std disc and pads vs pf330's and ds3000's. you need to get data from std plains with 3000's and pf's with 3000's on different times in a track session and you will find little difference. whats good on lap 2 may not be as good on lap 20 for...

I track mine all the time and don't see anyone with better brake set ups apart from cosmetics. All the lads who do trackdays with me run pf330's or ap330's btw. your talking about a 9mm difference in radius and 99% will use a lesser pad to enhance disc life. All been tested by Josh Cook (clio...

You really don't want pf330's if heavy track work is your plan. Plain 197 disc, ds1.11's, fluid and hoses and you will have a brilliant set up which is affordable to maintain and will never fade. Even the Megane's which race in production touring cars run this set up and is copied from the Clio...

I have Ast's on my R26 and are simply brilliant on road and track, as for brakes I always say plain clio hc's are brilliant and only £68 per set delivered on amazon. More road than track = ds2500's more track than road = ds1.11's. ds3000 are good but don't last so avoid unless you want to...

Some people like r888's but you won't see many using them especially on heavier cars after using ps cups, v70's and dz03g's. If your car is race weight I guess the r888's will be fine as all my findings with track tyres are on a heavier megane car.

Haha, no you read it wrong or I wrote it wrong. Mini gp has kumho's std fit and it beat the R on track and kumho's are also the std fit on the bac mono. I always quote the above as people see kumho's as budget tyres but in Motorsport they are very very good hence car brands like BMW mini and...

yep, I never put my rears on the fronts as that just results in buying 4 tyres at a time which is very expensive. In the dry it is fine to run your tyres non directional to add life, ie, just rotate fronts.

Kumho v70a's in k60 are in a different league to R888's and are used on many sprint / race cars. Also fitted as std to the new mini gp which is quicker than a r26r on track and the bac mono. r888's are an average track day tyre and go of very quick but must say they are probably the best cold...

Welcome buddy.

Not sure what set up you have gone for but the following links contain lots of good info on brakes. http://www.ferodoracing.com/it/car_racing/pad_bedding.htm http://www.ferodo.com/en-gb/TechnicalSupport/TechnicalTips/Pages/Technical-Tips.aspx hope that helps.

No, but had 3. Clio 16v Clio 172 Clio 182 With cup packs Do a little messing with a friends 182 these days and forever advising Mike on here ;)

Cheers guys.
