Stud length is perfect as the sit near flush with the outer edge of the centre:

Also. My first track day was meant to be next Friday but that's obviously been cancelled. Gutted as it'll be my first track day since my last one on 1st April 2015 in my Fiesta ST.

7 years since my last track outing in a 200 (The best car event I've ever been to, the Clio197.net How Fast event in 2013). Back when my lowly 200bhp 200 smoked some mighty 300bhp 200s
 
So I finally managed to get the first trackday with this 200 yesterday. The weather in the morning for the motorbike session was horrific but by the time our session came around (2pm) the track conditions were perfect. The car was flawless. I was careful with it being my first outing in the car (And my very own first trackday in over 5 years). I did take the GoPro but got caught up in the moment and didn't take it out of the glovebox :chair:

Ran the Cups at 36 psi hot all afternoon and they were awesome. Not quite R888 or A048 levels of grip but decent none-the-less. The pressures do quickly balloon and you can feel that through lack of grip but after a few hot laps, pit, hot laps, pit they settled out. I did find the car did roll/lean a bit more than I experienced in the last 2 cars I had tracked so maybe the Cooksport springs do need to be changed at some point for coilovers?

For those wondering why I'm always turning left? Knockhill can be run in reverse direction :tongueclosed:

There were only 7 cars on the day that were quicker than the 200 which had me very surprised (GT3RS, Mad fast supercharged Jag, 2 x GTRs, Porsche GTS, Evo and one of the Caterham type cars). The day was less than ideal for one of the M140i owners that had an off and damaged his car and very nearly ended badly for me. I moved over on the main straight to allow the Evo past me but as he was alongside the ran out of brakes and locked them up hard. A bit of a bum clenching moment but what a day.

Noticed the front right tyre looked "odd" this morning when I gave the car a good wash. This is what it looks like.

Would you run that again? This was a result of running the Cup 2s at 36 PSI hot.
