  1. Didn't feel it flying throug the air over that huge downhill
  2. I had to upload this for two reasons; one the battered state of the GTR after a few "moments" going at it on Matterhorn and two because at no point on this lap did I feel like the car was under control The circuit is just mad at high speed! Great choice 1:41.507 but there's loads more out there if you have the minerals and a bit of luck!
  3. In for this one, incredible project. I've seen major IT releases with less foresight and planning.
  4. You can switch it off on the 70 though, can't you?
  5. Locked at request of OP, please see here for latest http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/107426-teamtarmac-bride-style-gear-gaitors/
  6. If you want to be confident that something is dry, before touching it to find out and risking finger prints. Just grab something useless nearby and paint it at the same time. You can touch that and mess around all you want, seeing how tacky it is, without laying a finger on the important item.
  7. Impressive spatter How's the new intake sound?

  10. PM mopedmark or Wasso for blinginess
  11. It's only a matter of time now I know the secret
  12. Forget ballast, brake balance is where it's at! Thanks for the tip - new Spa 2:48.819 Switching to Matterhorn next
  13. For the steering wheel controls I went through the steps for my old headunit and the new one, on incartec - https://incartec.co.uk/Manufacturer/Model/Brand/Device/Radio/Browser.aspx Can't recall for the app radi, but there was at least one Pioneer VGA cable and an apple lightning to VGA cable - google's your friend on that one as there's loads of videos and it's obviously phone specific.
  14. Not played with the brake balance yet, good idea. As it's stock I've just stayed out of the car config.
  15. Update for Spa 2:49.421 Had good go at this this morning, you're setting a fast pace mate I know there's a tenth out there in Eau Rouge and a couple more through Pouhon to Curve Paul Frere, but I need a break and it's car washing weather!
  16. Honestly, I try and broaden horizons and get you lot on board the Spunk bandwagon, I bring a new line of Spunk based products for everyone to enjoy and it's all "I don't rate Stu's Spunk" and "I think this Spunk looks dodgy" and "I don't even think it's real Spunk, it's probably something from a Smelly Beaver". Well that's the last time I share my Spunk with you lot, I'll spread it where it's wanted from now on!
  17. I saw some epic stripped out Volvo ice drift cars in Sweden, resplendent with BGWs. FR is the ultimate combo after all! It'd be epic on track days, tearing it up, like the old 850s I loved in BTCC when I were a lad. Even got trick rims bro http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201604032581829?atmobcid=soc4 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201603312489090?atmobcid=soc4
  18. You've not got a rogue small nail or rock in there? I was plagued by a ticking noise and found a monster nail in one of the grooves which somehow hadn't gone through.
  19. Ahhh, I feel like there was going to be something special there
  20. Nice, but it's not quite as professional as my seat with it's "Infinite adjustability" feature
  21. No probs, we all go for different combos. The challenge is turning ones you don't find easy around, so I'll get to grips with RBR and the Focus with a little time. Edit: Forgot about the tag, I'll add it.
  22. I do wonder about the concept of reusing something that's been through such a serious amount of stress, but hey ho, I won't be riding one any time soon!
  23. Firstly, what an interesting combination of tracks and cars you've put together I started with the GTR on Matterhorn, which was tremendous fun, except for the tank slappers in the fast downhill section, which kept catching me out at the limit. There's some painfully slow and tight sections for such a powerful and wide motor, and the management of the mass of the GTR was quite tricky. Next up the Tesla on Spa. Very eerie going round in near total silence but very rewarding to get it just right. The Tesla is a bit slow on the straights and you need to do the tiniest little steering adjustments in the bends to keep it on the tightrope between grip and the grass. It's a very strange car that loves to understeer in and mid corner, then just as you think you're getting away, it oversteers like mad. My favorite combo this one. RBR in the Focus wasn't much fun for me, the understeer on the downhill, heavy braking, sharp bends was appalling. This, though not enjoyable, made it very taxing to get right. I don't know if I'm talking out of school here but the track limits on corners 1 & 2 and the last two are very forgiving. i.e. You can cut the hell out of the first two and go super wide on the last two without the lap being ruled invalid by the computer. Times RBR 1:50.331 (TCS 1, ABS 1.) Spa 2:51.083 (TCS 3, ABS 1.) Matterhorn 1:45.690 (TCS 1, ABS 1.) Completely stock cars, as they come from the dealer. Manual transmission. No oil, no washing! I did about 15 laps of each to gather those times.
  24. Safest place to practice GM if it all goes turbo, now VAG have killed all the polar bears.
  25. Yeah, but he did. His own statements: 5th April - 'To be clear, the prime minister, his wife and their children do not benefit from any offshore funds. 7th April - ‘We owned 5,000 units in Blairmore Investment Trust, which we sold in January 2010. That was worth something like £30,000’ Now some might argue that is not a lie, on semantic grounds, because of the use of the words "do not" rather than "did not". That said, receiving £30,000 in the past yields benefit in the present, so that argument would be fatally flawed. If I gave you £30,000 yesterday, you still benefit from that today. It is a witch hunt but equally the right wing media had a witch hunt because Jeremy Corbyn "snubbed" the rugby World Cup opening ceremony . A consierably more grave and relevant matter for a major political leader.. On a side note, unrelated to the Panama Papers, look at the wording of the phrase "That was worth something like £30,000". If this doesn't say more about his absolute disconect from, and utter contempt for, the people then I don't know what does. A piffling £30,000? Why I usually drop that much on new suits each year or stocking the wine cellar. It's only just £4,000 more than the annual benefit cap a family are expected to live on for 12 months.
