No. It's a damper. The spring returns it, the damper dampens the spring's motion.

He knew the track, knew the lines, normally once I'm past someone at Goodwood I'll get away because there's a place or two they're not comfortable with. He was on it all the way round. Watching him bounce and weave behind was a laugh.

Prawn and his very very rapid A3

Huge fun had going against this MX5, no idea on the spec but it was proper rapid

This was very unusual...normally get through a whole day without seeing one, on this day we saw seven!

Get them from George 172 (RTR parts) - he sorted me with a set and they've transformed the day-to-day drive...it's only when they're gone that you really realise just how bad they are! I ran the ESC in sport all day this time out. I played about with gentle mid-corner lifts throughout the day...

...and one more...I've watched all my sessions like this now and have learned a huge amount for when I'm out next. What was it Jackie Stewart said? "Don't press the throttle until you can be sure you can stay on it"?

I never found the originals lacking in bite or power...but they were just too grabby. The DS2500s with their lesser response when cold are much much better and far easier to modulate on the road. The DS2500s on track were solid all day long...not one hint of fade but then Goodwood does give...

My best laps are 1.37.6 in my 172 Cup (stripped, soft sticky tyres, epic brakes) and a 1.39.1 in my ST MP215 (standard other than DS2500s on the front axle). I'll make sure to note at the revival meeting in a few weeks what they get around in.

I had another crack at the Golf

This one was a bit too close for comfort

Here's another...impressive for an allegedly standard engine...

Aye, it's a PITA.

I had a great day there back in August, weather was fantastic all day long. Had a few good tussles in the ST, lots of lightweight, blown, and grippy cars, huge fun. This is the first of a few that will follow

Ah, got it. I've often wondered if there was a way of doing it without buying additional hardware!

You have two GoPros mounted on the B. Hague headrest strut mount? How have you done that?

Swapped my tyres around today. They were fitted one week before Goodwood and have covered 1,200 miles so far. Tread depths were FL 5.5mm - 6.5mm FR RL 7.0mm - 7.0mm RR Ouch. Goodwood took 2.5mm off my front left. I've edited a couple of short videos...fastest lap of the day and an unfair...

Very loud! I managed to borrow an industrial spec very accurate decibel meter and recorded the levels at full chat at high speed on a dual carriage way. I can't remember the exact reading (there's a thread I posted from around 2010 with it in somewhere on here) but in my stripped and decatted...

I find it mesmorising. There's more to come, I have a load of data to overlay, loads of numbers and charts and s**t.

My average mpg has been running far to high so thought I'd better do this...

It's not normal but it happens. Some also have very thin or even patchy paint in the large gaps/holes as you look down on the rear spoiler. They should whip that off and sort it for you.

I've only ever passengered in a 200T and that was with a racing driver around Goodwood...it felt just like/as good as it did being a passenger in all the other RS Clios I've ridden in. I don't doubt it's a good car, definitely more comfortable than mine is on the road, more practical from the...

Actually caught fire for real? Or because CS folklore? Did it shut the track for the whole afternoon?

Track closed? What happened?

Pics? Track videos? I was going to stop by, see how all were getting on, but domesticity got in the way. Grrrr.

Good question. On the odd occasion you go around corners is it a dab of oppo all the way?!

You'll see 30k at that rate!

Why is that a problem? You're only ever going to own one aren't you? Just buy one that works well.

I've absolutely no idea. I'm certainly no techie when it comes to mobiles and I'm not a super heavy user, I just know that Android works as well for me as iOS does for my wife. Comparing the two side by side I see little to differentiate them...other than the primary cost of the devices themselves.
