Do you roll your foot or do you use your heel? Most people roll there feet so the big toe is braking and the little to blips the throttle, i kinda hybrid, i dont fully move the heel over but dont just roll my foot either. it so dont neet close pedals, also, i left foot brake too and i couldnt do that with tat peds..

Not long to the end of the month ( when car goes on the road ) Fit these and brakes Then MOT Half way through the month

Get yourself a very, very good quality 5.5mm Allen key/bit

i think i will be rolling, when in the wifes mokka the pedals are closer and easy to do, im not braking hard though in the moka just coasting and trying to get the timing right with releasing the clutch, 

the bit i think i will struggle with is not the timing but concentrating more on the heavy braking while blipping the throttle, 

i will try it first with light braking,

been out for the first time of the year 

and pedals are fine 

done many miles and quite enjoyed it, i also forgot how quick the bloody things is, discs and pads bedded in 

 

next MOT and just need to give a few things some attention, hand brake is a little high 

and a general look over tomoz 

 

dont run ZZrs with slightly low pressure when its quite cold

Mot done but have a issue with one of tires ( front passenger ) slightly misshaped Any ideas 💡? Storage over winter? Should they be replaced

[fezzasus]

Put a few heat cycles through it and see if it goes back to round. If it starts vibrating or going more out of shape then stop.

Probably my own fault for coming away from my local track day without RE inflating tires And leaving over winter

Not going to risk it Ordering some R888R s again Mainly doing this because I'm entering one of the javelin sprint event probably Anglesey Cadwell on the 29th

More tyres!! Good luck with the sprint. It looks like a good series and I think you'll do well!

Yep would appear to be down to poor winter storage Bit annoyed but shot happens It's only money 💰

Bit of a poor showing last year

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Around 2300 miles 3 sets of brake pads 3 sets of tires which I messed up one set Can't run a vx on a £5

[Nev]

I'd guess that 2,300 miles a year is probably average for a VX these days, quite a few people just don't seem to drive them much these days.

 

[haggi961]

600 miles was done to zandvoort and back so the rest of the year you have done 1700 miles roughly 🙈😂

Almost makes me wonder if it's time to get a trailer And strip any excess weight out And make it 100% track car

Nah Have seen some of the cars that now compete in time attack You could build a competitive BTCC with a budget like that I haven't got the budget or time to do a full season, So just going to do plenty of track days and occasionally a sprint or two I also have some plans to add lightness

[jules_s]

Glad the pedals fitted OK 

 

Well beyond my capabilities these days

yes there brilliant, 

hoping i can take a real step forward with my driving style with these 

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

may of got to the bottom of the misshapen front tire, not 100% sure though 

changed car on to original wheels and the rattle feel was still there so wasent the tire 

 

ive ordered new tires R888R after the mot guy said one of the fronts was misshapen, but today i found the outside pad was badly rattling so put a anti rattle pad on it and everything seems very good now

 

 

and now cant hear or feel what i thought was the tire, the ZZRs have plenty off tread left but dont know if i should risk it and change them anyway
