    What have you done to your car today ???

    I tried selling mine today to someone who seemed really genuine and interested on the phone...but I failed. Grrrr.

    Dashcams good/ bad

    Apart from the last ten words that was exactly what I was about to write. The main reason I have them is to determine blame. It's rare I put anything up online from my cameras...unless there's something to learn from it.

    E type resto

    I'm in awe of sh*t like this. Amazing. How you can turn something so decrepit into something so pristine blows my mind. Dedication!

    Whoa, f*** about. Glad all OK.

    Cliosport Surrey Rolling Road 2017

    Nice pics @Christopher. I was happy enough with 221...gained 7 from last time, plugging the sound symposer has done the trick.

    I'm happy that my symposer fix found me some missing boost. Good to see everyone, thanks for organising @TimR26

    Camera Mount Above Clock - 1*2

    I've no idea! I did toy with that exact idea myself for a while when I had my 172 Cup...but back when I had the Cup my camera was a heavy Sony tape camcorder so I ended up sticking with the headrest strut mount. I kept meaning to ask what was beneath there but never got around to it.

    Ronald's BG RS Megane 175dCi

    Nice, best colour by far! Needs the spoiler to finish it off IMO. Exactly this...standard seats don't earn you internet cool pointz but they're more than adequate and you get no bolster wear. Also it's such a shame that Renault cover the steering wheels in layers of leather with the resilience...

    Clio 200 Advan AD08R Review.

    Here's how wet the wet day I had at Llandow on the AD08s was...proper torrential rain...and apart from being a little greedy on the throttle when ploughing through a standing water lake they dispersed the water well enough all day long!

    Clio 200 Advan AD08R Review.

    I ran AD08s on my Clio 200 over a snowy winter and on a very wet Llandow...and since mid summer last year I've had AD08Rs on my ST. Wet conditions they're incredible...water displacement is way more than you'd expect and while they have little grip once you're through it, it is enough to make...

    [Mar 4, 2017] Cliosport Surrey Rolling Road Day (Farnborough)

    Due to a new car coming (subject to confirmation of build date this week) my Fiesta ST MR230 will be for sale very very soon. If anyone is interested please make sure you come and have a look over it this weekend...I'll be at SRR for most, if not all, of the day.

    SKY Q

    This is what seemed to fix ALL of the issues we were having...it's been surprisingly stable and reliable ever since. I think this is exactly what they're doing...it's absolute BS though.

    SKY Q

    That's not quite so. I have BT broadband and home hub, Sky Q main 4k 2TB box, two minis, and many many many weeks now without a hard reset on any of them.

    Heel & toe downshifting part 2 - the tricky bit

    I agree, regardless of pedal positions rotating for me feels much much better on track as you have and can get a much firmer press onto the brake pedal...and it just feels right. Like I said, day to day, gentle braking, rolling off works well enough...but it doesn't feel natural if trying to...

    Heel & toe downshifting part 2 - the tricky bit

    Point taken, completely! The thing is, it's a big subject, there are many things to consider, many things to work on, many things that can wrong, and many things that can make learning it harder or even impossible. There are also many videos out there that show you how to do it, but they ALL...

    Heel & toe downshifting part 2 - the tricky bit

    Following my previous thread on basic rev matching, and following a solid week of editing, I've come up with to help anyone wanting to move on to trying heel and toe downshifting. Give it a go! Part 1 - basic rev matching...

    MarkCup's Fiesta ST

    2nd March and oh yes. Not straight away though, I want to learn how it all works shuffling power between all the wheels first.

    Go Pro Issues - Help please [emoji853]

    Is the SD card right for the GoPro? They are very specific about the spec and make. When I first got my Session I bought a quality branded card for it...but it kept randomly freezing mid recording and would get really hot to the touch. A search on GoPro's website showed a list of specific...

    MarkCup's Fiesta ST

    I now have a build date for my FRS so I need to start thinking about moving my ST on. I have a few options available...but no idea on price! I see standard cars at anything from £8k to £10k for a 13 plate with 60k miles. Mine has Mountune MR230, one owner, full Ford history, very very well...

    Which TV's Are The Best??

    How to Heel and Toe Downshift

    In terms of locking the driven wheels absolutely it is...but in terms of just keeping the car balanced and stable it's equally important regardless of the driven wheels. I really should get myself something RWD at some point in my life...that'll be a way off though as I have several years of...

    How to Heel and Toe Downshift

    So very true. Generally I don't do it on the road as I tend to separate braking and down shifting hence the focus on basic rev matching which also has the added benefit of getting the timing of it into your head before attempting the tricky H&T shifts.

    How to Heel and Toe Downshift

    After many questions on how to do this I thought it best to make a video tutorial. If you've tried it and given up...try again...you may well have missed out this very important first step!

    Clio 200 EDC at Brands Hatch

    Touchy! It's not about being bugged on a trackday, it's about getting your hands filthy and then smearing it all over the inside of the car/steering wheel/leg of your trousers! There's a handle on the inside so you don't have to do that.

    Clio 200 EDC at Brands Hatch

    The difference is less involvement, not for me. Looks great though. Please shoot whoever doesn't shut the boot properly...I get properly OCD about fingerprints like that!

    220 trophy 0-1000m

    Is it really a ball ache in a daily? Really? It is no more physically taxing than steering or pressing the brake/throttle! As for NA > forced induction...for a spirited drive, a-f***ing-men.
