grip

Hi everyone, Does anyone find the brake and clutch pedals slippery wet damp or wet, being made from ali? I found this a problem in my 172 and still do in the Trophy. A couple of times my foot has slipped off the clutch all together when very wet, thankfully without harm. On my previous 172 I...

As above, I can slide the seat back and forth with the front lever. But if I try to tilt and slide to get in the back, it tilts but doesn't slide. Can I fix this or does something need to be replaced?

I wonder if it's unavoidable?? - I seem to always get it at full bore acceleration, 2nd and 3rd gear, after 5 or 6k; I've got new PE2's and the geometry is all standard (today) - admittedly the roads are a bit cold but dry.... I'm doing the top mounts and camber bolts this weekend after which...

Well with my front pair of mich ex's on the way out I fancy getting some Toyo R888's. Is anyone running these on the standard speedlines, if so how much and what size?

Only just noticed Michelin are doing Pilot Sport 3 tyres now anyone running these? http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/blog/1 ... t-sport-3/ :D

What is the latest thinking on this for the T? I'm currently looking for a set of wheels and tyres to use on the track (not for the road at all), my starter for 10 is: 16" rims and R888's but is that the best option?? Also, related to the track, what tyre pressures do people think work best...

Ok, there's good news and bad news. I'll start with the good, so I can delay the inevitable lol. I LOVE these tyres. I fitted them at the beginning of December. I've used them through snow, ice, rain, you name it. They start well from cold for a track tyre. A bit of wheel spin in snow and ice...

Hello CT :D Recently I have been getting 24 mpg so I thought something must be up with the car. I had a look at the tyres a couple of days ago but they all looked find, today however, I thought I would check the pressures to make sure they were ok as ive not checked them for a couple of...

Has anyone seen this? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2981 Seems like a good buy. How much do they cost to service, and how often?

Could barely walk across my drive when i got back to Reading, so i took a run up on some random patch of land and left it

Hi, Will 195/50/16 (toyo R888) stretch over the trophy wheels? Looking at doing some trackdays, any recommendations on tyres? Cheers Tom

Another boring tyre question. But what speed rating Exalto PE2's should i be using as just went to check then visually and found that i have both 2 V's and 2 W's!

I have received my steering wheel back from getting re-trimmed. As i said in a previous post when looking for a rough 2nd hand steering wheel I had this done at http://www.gibsontrimming.com/ which is miles away from me so everything was done by email and phone, but I'm sure that if you're...

Anyone driven a 200/cup yet? What do you think?

I realise it's fairly far over but do any of you guys live near hockley, I may be getting something from there and may need it picked up till I get across there for a meet.

Where are the deals to be had on PE2's at the moment? Need two new fronts, definately noticed the wear today on the wet greasy surfaces!! :shock:

............had a slightly wet surface on the roads this morning and grip did not seem up to its usual self. My front tyres are on the 'limit' so wondering how much of an affect this has, assume the limit is only 1.6mm? Thanks

Hi, Has anyone fitted an LSD to there 182? or any other type of diff. Would it be worth fitting an LSD to a 182? Imagine an LSD on a trophy! putting its power down! 8)

Hello, What is the 0-60 time? Lots of sources say different things ;)

replaced all four of my tyres 11 months ago and the front need replacing already! Just been driving the trophy normally due to cost of petrol but in any 1s experience of the none standard tyre is there a 1 that lasts longer?

Are they any good in the corners compared to the T? I was all over him just pootling really and he was having a hard time going straight (was damp/wet). So much so I thought I would leave him to it.

The steering wheel in my Trophy has begun to melt and I'm considering my options. I'd prefer to stick with a Renault wheel so that I can retain the cruise control functionality so re-covering is one option, but at the same time I'd prefer a smaller wheel. I'm aware that the 197/200 wheel...

Hiya all, am looking for a set of these as my next compromise road tyre. I am having a hard time finding them in Trophy size, any tips? Camskills do them but are out of stock ATM. Cheers,

Any experience with these tyres? The product manual says this: - exceptional resistance to aquaplaning - minimizes tread block movement & improves aquaplaning resistance - extreme levels of cornering grip in wet & dry conditions - extreme levels of cornering grip & immediate steering response -...

time may be up for #356 just recently got married and possibly 356 may now be a little to small for our needs. The wife has her heart set on me getting a 330CI or 330 convertible, cos it looks "posh", and i was thinking of going for a 230 R26. BUT....... the question I want to throw out there...
