I've seen 3 that made me smile; UR02SLO on a TVR Tuscan T13VOM on a BMW V80MPG on a V8 Ranage Rover

A how to guide in the link below. Must say it is my kind of detailing tophs R32 Detail (56k users - BUY BROADBAND CHEAPSKATE)

Not much, just a remap, full exhaust, ARBs and custom KW3s from their motorsport division. Probably about 250bhp. A little knowledge of the circuit helps For the record, my SDI did it in 8'51"

I've had no issues with normal Neros. Maybe I never drove round there fast enough :( I could never get the Octy below 8'30" :( My opinion, for what it's worth, unless you know the circuit well there is no point in go faster tyres. They are usually less forgiving than standard tyres with different break away characteristics, are usually worse in the wet and will lull you in to going faster than you should. OK for a UK track but not for the Ring.

The hub carrier I had to replace (the bit that joins the hub to the wishbone area) cost £280 :( Basically it had cracked which allowed the bush and everything else to move around .

I'll echo Chris's offer for giving you a second opinion

There are some that would say that an Octy is quicker point to point than the Fabia, me being one of them. In my experience a Fabia is more likely to end up on its roof when trying to keep up, something to do with the shorter wheelbase And the Octy is quicker, no ifs buts or maybes

I voted Clio, but then I'm strange. I'd go for a Trophy Then I saw Chris's post and thought, yep, I think that is a sensible suggestion, especially when you look at running costs. Learn to drive and it will be quicker than a lot of stuff on the road

I had something similar on mine many years ago. Turns out it was a snapped "bit" where the bottom of the shock connects to the whish bone, think it was the hub carrier or something like that. Felt like you were driving on ice and yes, it did tramline.

Life is not bad Stuart Possibly tempted by an Octy Scout in November although the Audi Allroad is rather nice.... How are Wendy and Owen?

limit point - the furthest distance into the field you can go whilst still being able to see the road you just left

Member number 20, join date 30-10-2002. Oh and those using the Freedom button at the top, that is your freedom number not your member number. My freedom number is 45, yet member number 45 is Manny. HTH Mr Cook, nice to see you again....

IIRC they do make full use of the rev range, sometimes inappropriately, IMHO. Jonathan, I agree, there is no substitute for training and practice. I also think that the people who read this type of thread are the people who actually have an interest in improving the standard of their driving and are possibly more aware of their driving that the normal run of the mill driver. They are usualy people who want to improve and don't actually think of themselves as "driving gods", I know that I for one consider myself to be an average driver..... I did actually do a poll a while back, following on from a newspaper article where something like 75% of drivers considered themselves "above average", asking people to rate themselves. Funnily enough, the people who post in this particular section are the ones who rated themselves lower than the general posters but, having driven with some of them, I would say that they are amongst the better drivers with and appetite to learn. Strange really.... Regards, Grumposaurus

True as it would depend on where the limit point is as to whether it is appropriate to move to the outside of a bend. Also, on a right hander, or even an open left hander you may be able to offside to maintain stability and smoothness. Oh and I believe that Chris is "possibly" aware of how to apply Roadcraft and to "play" with it as I think he has had a little bit of training....... he's still not as good as me though
