I have 2010 v50 drive e version with the 1.6d diesel. It has almost 200k miles and i've put around 3,7k miles on it within 2 months. I had to replace the turbo oil feed pipe, intake hoses, eolys fluid add and changed the oil. Now it runs great and i would recommend anyone to get one IF if it has service records. Mine came with over 3k+ in receipts so i knew i wouldn't have to replace the clutch, turbo or dpf for years to come. Nice video btw!

@@PNDale exactly, main issue I had was lack of grip after a few laps when the tyres got hot so the semi slicks should make a noticeable difference. Considering I was on budget tyres, the overall grip should be improved too. Also I don’t think I was ever actually out at the same time as you unfortunately but I definitely saw the car off track. Also just watched your videos, great driving, the lotus is much much quicker than mine in a straight line haha.

I would definitely recommend it. I’ve done about 10k miles in the last couple of months. So I’ve done a lot of miles. If you do buy one, just make sure it’s been serviced on time and that it has no fault codes stored in the ECU that relate to expensive fixes. Mines been bomb proof and I love how I can go anywhere without worrying and it is very very comfortable.

My 8 is in the exact same colour code mate (grey with the original alloys in black, black boot lip etc). Owned mine a couple of years. I run the Millers 10w40 too. De-catted (just know a very decent mechanic when it comes to the MOT r.e. emissions, lol). What sparks are you using? Changed the sparks and leads last year to some Iridium NGK's Tyres, I still stick with the Potenza Sports but haven't heard of those Roadstone Eurovis. If they're what you're using on this trackday so sound really grippy and look to handle really well!! Clutch + Gearbox - I upgraded my clutch to stage 2 last year but you seem to shift a fraction quicker at the redline than mine. What have you done there to either gearbox or clutch? Do you use this as a daily too or just pure track use? I've got a couple of cars so I probably only do 150 miles a month in this thing given the 9/10MPG on 99 octane P.S. Just Subscribed

Thanks for the sub Matthew. I’m actually just about to publish another video with my “best” lap which isn’t perfect but it’s a fairly clean lap. It’s my first time at Cadwell too so didn’t want to crash. As for your comment. I’ve actually got a galaxy grey boot lip but aside from that it’s all the same I think. Mines running a 200cel sports cat at the moment which does actually pass emissions which is a nice bonus. I’m using the same spark plugs as you, they’re pretty much as good as you can get. The Denso ones have different heat ratings which aren’t quite right for normal use. I have however, got some RRP MKIII coils and MSD leads. The tyres I’m only using as they were recommended by a friend and they are dirt cheap (£180 for a set) and for how they perform you simply cannot go wrong. I’ve done nothing to the clutch or gearbox just a fluid change last year myself. It just has an Exedy clutch. Not much point in going for anything else at stock power levels. And nope I don’t use this as a daily but it also isn’t just a track toy, I’d say it’s more for weekend use occasionally as well as track. Thanks again for the sub :-)

Don't clean your rear rims with expensive rim cleaner! You have drum brakes so NO brake dust. Cleaning with water or APC is fine and will save you some money
@livinglifesideways78263 жыл бұрын
There is still some brake dust and also other bits of contamination. When you drive in wet weather, all sorts of road grime gets deposited on the rear wheels the same way as the fronts therefore it is worth using a wheel cleaning solution as water will not get any of that off. You mentioned water or APC but those two are not the same, so I wouldn't say use either water or APC. APC can of course be used when cleaning wheels which aren't heavily soiled but wheel cleaner always tends to do the best job. Also the wheel cleaner I have was fairly cheap and it is still non acidic so I would just rather use it all around as it makes very little difference in terms of how much money I'd save. I think if the car was being professionally washed and you saw them cheaping out on wheel cleaner just because you've got drum brakes at the back then I think you'd feel slightly annoyed, or maybe that's just me. Plus it's just nice to follow the same routine all round and APC tends to dry a bit quicker compared to my wheel cleaner so it's not very brush friendly.
