Oh my, what a difference. I had this done a week ago so have gotten to grips with it a bit more since I made this... Predictable, consistent, and lively sums it up...and that's in the dry. I'm looking forward to getting it out in the rain :ROFLMAO:

I won't sit alongside them anywhere along their length, on the inside or outside. You have zero options if something like this happens and you're relying 100% on their observations skills to make sure it won't. I'd try whatever you can with the firm, you might get lucky, any reasonable person...

Wind deflectors aside 🤮, that looks ace.

I also managed to blag a passenger side up the hill in this weapon...

This caught my eye at the Shere Hill Climb today. I could spend hours looking at this, all the tiny little details, I get why they're so sought after 😎👌👍

I spent many hours annoying this chap by asking continual questions while he fitted my locking diff...

OK, looking about it seems the going rate is maybe £50-£70 for one. Why would the 1*2 cats command so much more?

WTF?! I've still got the OEM one from my Fiesta ST sat in my shed. It's genuinely worth a few hundred? Wow.

I've had just the one Spigen case. I got it almost 2 years ago and it's encased my Pixel 2XL ever since. I barely even register it's there. Great fit, good feel, raised bezel edges as you require @Coby. .

One of the reasons Goodwood is so, umm, good...you don't get choppers like this and, if you do, they're promptly pulled in and spoken to. The only downside is the odd case of mistaken identity...I got pulled in once because a marshall had radioed in about a "black Renaultsport". I sat there for...

Maybe it's in case you don't like the facial unlock, but you do like facial notification details? I'm not as fan of facial anything myself 🤣

Privacy! Maybe you don't want your wife to see the missed call phone number of that piece of ass that's been calling you?

Check in here...I think you may have it hiding sensitive content by default?

I believe there's a privacy setting which limits how much info is shown on your lock screen. Look into your lock screen and security settings?

Is it not the intake causing you the problem? Every ITB 1*2 I've heard on track has been far louder coming toward me than going away!

There's 3 long periods of acceleration at Goodwood...if then diff enables me to exit each of the corners beforehand just 1 mph faster, then for approx. 75% of the lap I'm going at least 1 mph faster than before...and that turns a best lap of 1:33.6 into 1:32.8...because spreadsheet LOL Well...

Significantly! I know I touched on it in the video...but Reg in his auto, which has the exact same power as mine, no matter what gear I'm in or what RPM I'm at, he just f***s off! The extra and shorter ratios help massively I think, and the quicker shifts? I can just forget it LOL

Exactly. On the road, how fast you can go is generally down to your idiocy/brave levels. On track, the 140 finding that time was a genuine surprise though...I did a double take as I was chopping the laps up when editing and thought "hang on...no way!". I thought it might have matched the RS...

This has taken an age to get together...I can safely say I'm now done with the RS comparisons :LOL:

Not yet David, it'll be on soon though, I'm done with waiting! As for the gearing, yeah they do differ between auto and manual. The one going into my manual 140 is Jeff's from his auto 135, they share the same gearing. I don't know if the opposite is true though.

I recall that drag cubes with speed and downforce squares with speed. So, comparing 50mph & 100mph; You need 8x more power at the higher speed but only get 4x as much downforce in return. That suggests to me that on an MR2 you'd struggle to generate anything significant enough to make it...

Modern car crumple zones are meant to go quite easily aren't they? I think 10-15 could do that easily, that's a lot of energy to dissipate.

If that's cosmetic only I'd say 10-15 tops. I had someone drive into the back of my Fiesta at 25 and it creased the boot floor massively and pulled the boot lid in as well. That doesn't look too bad from the pictures.

What's your IG by the way?

I didn't see that but every money shift I've ever seen has had the driver's hand position as a significant contributing factor! When I used to teach IAM I stressed first to second or third to second, the ONLY time your palm should face away from you. I wince every time I see it on a track...

Just a guess here, but you change gear from third to fourth with your gear changing palm facing away from you and not towards you?

I'd be happy with one of those, in that spec, on my drive. Very nice!

Not necessarily 100% worth of inclusion here but considering all the beat up sh*tboxes I've seen running here, coming across this last night was a nice surprise!

Sadly not any more. I had a minor road trip and an afternoon of coffee with @Sash and she sorted me right out. Thanks anyway though ?

They know everything!
