  2. flipping heck dan what did you run 225 fronts and 425 rears?
  3. find the wheels you want then we can advise on tyre size
  4. since having the wing i seem to get left alone for some reason
  5. Dunno if the revamp the whole show maybe they should just get all of the drive guys in
  6. suprised ekona has mentioned chris harris being his top choice
  7. No sacking no tribunal easy way out with out the mess and risk of BBC coming out paying Clarkson money as they could well end up paying loads in the saville comment and how the case hasn't been kept confidential and in house
  8. Oi you leave the lollercopters out of this
  9. With the greatest of respect to those saying otherwise, the right answer is to get the clutch down, stop the car spinning and then brake. If you get on the brakes while you are still spinning then as long as they arent locked it wont do any harm. I dont know of any drifter that doesnt let the wheel go on transition, you simply cant move your hands quickly enough from lock to lock if you dont ........ even Clarksons sliding improved considerably when he started letting the wheel move on its own. This can get you out of a mess if you have an unexpected back end slide on track, the quicker you can get to the lockstops the more likely you are to catch it. As for the second bit, why would you pull the wand, thats just going to rotate you even further and potentially onto wet grass at speed? Get the car straight with the clutch in, then footbrake to a halt, happy days. Even in a spin docrwa I'm not on about transitioning I'm on about spinning out Also your not stupid you telling me all the fd guys when the spin and hold the wand on are doing it wrong?
  10. isnt it 1.3 litre per rotor and the rx8 is twin rotor so 2.6 or have i dreamt that
  11. I'm guessing if your not doing on ramp it will be a lot easier, Just a tip take out the fill up plugs before you take out the drain plugs
  12. Why can't you drain them into a bucket ?
  13. this isnt 350z related but i feel it deserves a share,
  14. regarding drifting i have never let go of the steering wheel? if it starts to go beyond point of return, foot on the brake hand brake up and clutch in and keep the steering on full lock it was pointing so more chance to spin on the spot than slide off into a wall
  15. Never do this! When in a spin, both feet in; i.e. hard on both clutch and brake. You want to be removing speed ASAP as you've lost control of the vehicle, but you also want to keep the engine running. I didn't see a lot wrong, just one of those things that happens when you're pushing on, especially on that corner. Tbh if you don't spin at least once on track then you're not pushing hard enough You got very lucky though, entering grass near on sideways is the single easiest way to flip a car on trackday. did he have mpss fitted though
  16. Sabine already presents top gear Germany doesn't she
