Re: Knockhill track sessions

Hi Scott, cheers for the tag, Colin got some really good shots of my car. It’s a 20th anniversary so based on the supercharged elise, what about your s1? Seems to corner really flat and you can carry a lot more speed in the corners than me as I am standard suspension, brakes etc If you have footage...

Re: Knockhill track sessions

Ah yes of course spectating isn't allowed yet. I think I'll see what is planned in September with SIDC and perhaps book for that day, meanwhile keep an eye out on the spectator situation at Knockers as I'm still curious what these days are like. I suppose the marshalling is key really, it doesn't m...

Re: HT Ignition Leads

What makes the magnecor ones better? I would fit OEM. Replace everything (rotor arm, cap, leads). On S1 the "rain cover" over the spark plugs is not very good fit and you get water into the spark plug bores, so that end is probably a corrosion fest too - I would be checking all the plug tops too. M...

HT Ignition Leads

Went to change the rotor cap yesterday and two of the ends of the HT leads snapped off - without much effort i must say. They are currently magnecor leads that are fitted and for a like for like replacement are £83. The other option is OEM ones for £40. Is it worth sticking with the magnecor leads a...

Was wondering who that belonged to! Was a pretty reasonable event, shame the Knockhill weather conspired against it as usual!

Was funny to see the GT2 get demolished in a straight line by some family car Audi 😂
I was destroyed by him in the first round :oops:

Re: SIDC at Knockhill - Saturday 5th October

Whoever owns that S1 likes his stickers 😂 Really enjoyed that today. Good to meet a couple of guys from here as well. By the blue car I presume it was the renualtsport megane? I followed him for a bit and was literally all over the place. He almost lost it on the brakes into the hair pain when I was...

Re: Yokohama AD08R discontinued

Has anyone actually driven on the new compound? You never know it might be OK, gasp might even be better. Bunch of metathesiophobics. lol Admittedly the R compound ones were very good so its a tough gig for them... No - i cant find any reviews for them either. I only needed rears as my fronts are f...

Re: Yokohama AD08R discontinued

Caution though - ScottA on here just got a pair from Tyreleader and the mfg date is wk15 2016. Yea, was talking to Ronnie about that. He has a good turnover so doesn't hold stock for too long. Also, he stores them in the dark... apparently that makes a difference. I got a quote from him - he was £2...
