Would be interesting to see a video from Combe, that is a fast lap indeed!

Yes! How about that for a slow reply ? Not been on here for bloody ages...

I've used some almost-to-the-wear-bars 595 RSRs in some pretty horrible conditions - you just have to not drive like a spaz. Overall, a really good tyre for the price IMO.

Thanks for the shout Jamie - hope you're all sorted now Daz, if not feel free to give me a shout :up:

Ah, cheers dude, appreciate that! (Sorry, only just seen the tag) Regarding Hunter equipment, it's designed to be fast and easy for the general garage monkey to use. There's a reason race teams use string...

Oh, had some 1155s on the back of a car once too, weren't any better than OE pads and didn't last any longer either.

Yep, love the DS1.11s. Great feel, don't fade, last ages. Used them on the road (with non-servoed brakes and twin masters) and no issues there either, fine from cold as long as you remember! 1144s: s**t. RC5: Also very good. DS2500s: Decent if you can get through the fiddly bedding in process...

Agreed, to a point. Though if the rears aren't showing the same wear pattern it indicates a handling balance issue, with the fronts doing all the work, hence the rear arb question :)

Agreed. IR gun is next to useless for tyres unfortunately. Does the car suffer a lot of understeer? Any vids? Looks like the tyre is getting 'scrubbed' across the track surface to me. Do you have a rear ARB?

Heh - the only reason I'd get one is as an investment, they do look kinda cool though. How's the car feel now? Better?

Haha - hello! Used to have a 172 Cup but got rid of that to buy the MX-5... stuck around here for some reason, no idea why, stupid wrong wheel drive shitboxes :P

No worries! Thanks for the shiny injectors. A fun evening of tinkering always goes down well (like your mum, waheeyyyyy) :smile:

Was he pulled over at the side of the road cleaning it?

Thanks guys! Ste - IMO you need more dedication when you aren't just lobbing cash at stuff, you need to understand how and why things are done rather than just the benefits you get from doing them, which is the most rewarding bit :)

More tinkering this week... From playing around with / researching into various things, it looks like the car has under 80bhp at the rear hubs. This is ~20bhp down on the race car, and explains the poor top end speed. I was really hoping the lack of screen would free things up a bit here, so the...
