Gentlemans spec 200
They weren't fella, this was renault marketing. They also printed that the cup spec cars would have a different exalto. They didn't. It was the tyre that was used during the chassis signing off, there's very few sub 50k cars that have tyres designed for them. It would be silly, as then the tyre would only be optimum on that car, limiting the tyre's sales potential. Far better to have the chassis based on a tyre, therby expanding the tyres customer base.
Brad, are you a delivery driver? UPS?

pint sir? :approve:
Guys, don't go stomping on your brakes, particularly at 45mph in the wet. You'll lock the wheels up ! It's scientifically proven.
Shock, weight transfer blah blah blah. But that's another thread.
Now that prat has gone, back to heel and toeing a 182. I'm still interested as to why some of us think a 182 is really easy to do it in, and others feel it so hard that they have to modify the car.
We must be doing something differently (seating position, how we place our feet in the footwell?). There might be some difference between each car with regards to amount of travel in the brake pedal. But the spacing is always going to be the same.
I'm away at the moment, but when I get back to the UK I'll post some pictures of what works for me.

A 106 GTi is what you need, you can pretty much stand on all the pedals with one foot at once tbh
Not so much heel toe, more like sole!

PMSL! Same as the mini I had...ahh the memories!:dapprove:
I agree it probably was a bit of marketing, it probably was that they used the tyre to hone the chassis to like you said.
But the Honda S2000 and VX220 are two I can think of straight away that aren't mega money cars that have tyres with specific tyre designations for them. In fact the latter had a very specific front tyre size made that would never be of any use to any car but a VX.
Renault Clio S
LOL, cracks me up when people like this are exposed for the world to laugh at. Has he really been banned? Couldn't we just have him stuffed and hung on the wall instead?
hmmm. slick racing tyre in wet conditions.....of course.......now why dont most ppl think of that before upgrading their brakes??
oh....i know.......cos they arent clueless keyboard warriors like youself.
he isnt blinkered..hes just a c**k
Clio 172 RS2
Braking? I thought it was all about heel AND toeing...
Proper race car technique... in a car, the Clio RS without a 'race' flywheel, like the revs will drop instantly like in a race car! -NOT-
But hey keep jiggling those feet and twisting your ankles.
13 pages and still going! :sleepy:

Tried that but people stare at me funny when i get out the car.

Exactly... I've always used this method in every car I've had. I can do it in my Hudsons and they're narrow!
Yozza'd BG
That was my problem initially...accelerator too deep to reach when braking. BUT...try angling your foot a little toward the outside edge with approximately one-quarter of your right foot still on the brake pedal and then twist your ankle toward the offside front wheel when you want to blip.
I may just write a book about this one day and call it "Heel-Toeing...FTW!"

The 182's one of the easiest cars to do it in. :S
Clio 172 Cup
I think with practice i'd finally get it, just finding some nice clear road to get me skills 100%.
Managed to do it a few times but didn't feel confident on the braking side of things, the pedals on the works van are perfect, don't even realise your doing it in that thing.

Definitely!
Try it in a 360. Harder.
I find it really hard in any BMW, too. Bloody floor-hinged pedal.

Valvers & 172 Cup
I struggled to do it smoothly in the trophy I had a go in, maybe with a bit more practice I could improve but I seriously doubt I'd be able to do it as well as I can in the valver
ETA: I find it almost impossible to do in in beemers as well lol
S3, Polo

Ye, agree about the b*****d floor hinged pedals in Beemers coupled with uber sensitive brake pedals...don't think it could get anymore difficult! Anytime i try it in my dads 3 series it's a complete f**k up!
