I know it's tragic, and it's only a joke, but I'm bothered by the fact he took the sticker off the S200 but didn't comment that it's not on the right wheels. :ROFLMAO:
Also that S3 proves the old saying that you can't polish a turd but you can cover it in glitter.
Completely agree with what's already been said, but what I will add is the whiteline RARB made the car much more fun on track IMO. It didn't necessarily make me faster, but it made me smile. For the money I'd certainly have one again if I had a 1*2, once I'd made sure the shocks and bushes were...
On a track day you'll often just never know how much of it is great driving and how much is the car. You can have the most mundane looking things out there which are serious bits of kit under the skin, equally you can have mundane looking things which are just being driven really well.
At the...
Agreed - front fogs not part of the MoT test for any car produced before 1st March 2018.
If you ever want to check something, the full testing manual is here:

Here's the relevant section for...
I'd agree ^^^ but would also add that some road tyres just simply don't work on track. I ran a set of Eagle F1's on the back of my 182 and they literally melted, it was like trying to drive on marshmallow. I'd get a lap out of them and no more. But they were brilliant road tyres.
It's easy to...
No, it’s dangerous because you have people sharing a track driving under different “rules” in their heads.
Track day rules are overtaking on the straights by consent, race drivers doing test days are chasing lap time through setup and will often ignore the rules and dive bomb you in corners...
Yeah if I'm doing a TD I always check these days if there's a race meet the following day and avoid those TDs. Inevitably they are used as test days and the driving standards/behaviour is absolutely abysmal.
I'm not a particularly great driver, but I also have no ego at all on track and always...
That upload is really cack, although download isn’t much better for fibre.
I imagine they’ll want the HH5 plugged back in. The other thing they’ll ask you to do is try plugging in to the test socket on your phone line to rule out any internal interference in your house, so may as well try that...
Agree- your upload speed looks to be the issue. If it’s still that low when plugged directly in to the router I’d raise a fault with BT. It’s probably the first thing they’ll ask you to do anyway.
How slow is slow? You should be able to get a decent fibre connection at that postcode. Can you post results from Speedtest.net?
Have you tried plugging directly into the router with an Ethernet cable to rule out WiFi issues?
Fine photography there, a big shed in front of some big sheds, what’s not to like. ;)
That steering wheel might be a touch too far even for me. Enjoy it(y)
No problem with engine overheating as long as the cooling system is working as it should. Standard rear brakes will be fine as long as the pads aren’t very low. Decent brake fluid and front pads should be enough for your first time out, don’t spend a fortune, find how the car works for you on...
This is the change I was talking about, but from the sound of it that may not be your issue. It also looks like your coolant header tank is in a different place to mine, so that could change the plumbing too. Best check the basics first, but for what it's worth here's the link (y)...
Are you losing any coolant? Also worth checking if when doing the conversion they've blocked off any of the coolant ports, that had been done on mine and it meant the engine couldn't bleed out any air which got sucked in to the system and the temps shot up. I'll dig out a before and after shot I...
