I've got one of these coming today through work. Anyone had any experience? Am I going to be banging my head in frustration? http://www.europe.htc.com/products/htcs620.html

Taken from the Airfield day last November. Listen to the noise as it snakes away from the line, and how close the ratios are...this thing was a f***ing nutter! Clicky...

Clicky... 172 Cup 1 - 0 Porsche 911 :evil:

I've just got myself a new laptop through work, and I told my IT guy I wanted something half-decent that was workable. It seems good enough, and I know it's got a 60gb hard-drive. How do I find out the rest, processor, ram, all the other things? Where do I look? I've not got clue...?

One for Weeman this I think...almost 5 minutes of the Richardson in action. Let me know if it works for you and I'll see what else I can dig up ;) Renaultsport trackdays...limited numbers, lots of trackspace, open pitlane, and Marshalls that occassionally look the other way when you're having...

Babbage I know (from Nov 2004), but I only ever put stills up before. The closest I've come to connecting with another vehicle and/or swapping ends on public roads... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iujU7EM_ik

I'd want something that is perfectly usable day-to-day (300 miles per week commuting), but that has enough adjustment to get it really focussed and firm on track so I can make the most of the track tyres. Maybe then I'd have gotten past that pesky F430 :rasp: What options do I have? What do...

I've just been out on a set of Dunlop D01J's that haven't seen tarmac for at least 8-9 months. I was running pressures too high (30 psi), they're only 195's (normally I run 205 track tyres), and I obviously couldn't get any serious heat into them on public roads...but I was surprised at how...

North Bersted A259, 1100 today - looked like it might have been mrs bognor driving though?

...a headlight bulb has gone :( Now I can justify spending money on those expensive super-duper bright white light jobbies. Any recommendations? Also, how the f*** do you get to the left-hand bulb? I don't have the hands of a small child...

I subscribe to a financial advice/news service and got this this morning, looks like things might be changing for insurance companies :clap: How Insurance Firms Avoid Paying Out Last month the Law Commission published its tentative proposals to change the law relating to misrepresentation...

Had a set of PE2's fitted since last Friday, had a few good runs on them so far, gradually getting a feel for them. Just been out for a lunchtime thrash, really leaned on them. Pulled up outside our warehouse and the lads are all outside smoking. "I thought you could drive Mark?" "Eh?"...

Just about every picture I've seen recently of other 172's or 182's shows then wearing Turini wheels. You'll all be after Mondial Blue resprays, Mossa cloth interiors, and be taking the fuse out of your ABS next. Why not just admit it, you know you want to ;) , you know what I'm talking...

Got these recently, only just put them on the car for the first time. They're going to get a rough coat of something, and I'm leaning towards bright yellow, but I'm open to suggestions... Could someone please photoshop these pics to show the wheels in; Lime green Flourescant pink Yellow...

Out for a thrash, approaching a 3rd gear corner hard in 4th, onto the brakes, blipped as I dropped a gear as I normally do, then as it continued to run down in 3rd, the exhaust popped :D Tried it repeatedly after that to no avail. What actually makes it happen? What can I do to make it do...

Why hasn't my emissions warning light come on yet?

Right then, I've had me some Pagid blues fitted for about 4 weeks now - so how are they? First off, this problem I had shortly after fitting them was exactly as Ben suggested..."Greening" - and they've been fine ever since. On the road I found them very surprising for such a track/race...

...get rid of this useless bit sticking out from the centre? Does it just unscrew? I can't get it to budge.

It was f***ing hard work keeping up with these guys...the only place I had anything was down both straights (I lost that advantage though if I screwed up Graham Hill bend) and on the brakes into Paddock. I got about 5 laps of them all flying round - I bet you all wish you could've overtaken...

Better late than never... Sadly this was the only time I found myself behind Jeremy all day, and we managed barely a lap before he pulled over to cool down. Good fun though, especially watching him/it work through Paddock :D Clicky...

I've got loads of clumps of rubber all over my tyres which are getting changed onto new wheels on Friday, so they'll need to be rebalanced. What's the best way to get all the crap off...paint stripper gun and metal spatula?

Ktec Stealth + Yozzasport decat 0-100 clip. Had the decat fitted since Friday, and it now sounds exactly how it should have done when it left the factory. Nice and quiet, no louder than standard, on a light throttle at 30, 40, 50...but give it some, and it screams. It's a shame it doesn't...

Fitted these a week ago, 400 miles since, with some light, and some firm, but no hard braking. Just went out to film a 0-100 video since I've got the decat on now, and thought I'd try a 100-0 video too. The pads bit into the disc OK, and initially felt like they had enough to lock the...

Proper Cup's of course ;) Me, up close and personal with Jon_r.

...with anticipation. Off to see Magic Mike in a short while to fit my Yozzasport decat...I'm feeling all nervous and excited...like it's a first date or something :S It's like when I've been away on holiday - driving back in the 1.6 Zetec Focus, all I can think of is "I need to drive my...

I've just unwrapped a Yozzasport decat :evil: Tomorrow afternoon, and my date with Mikey big hands can't come soon enough. I've already got a K-tec stealth fitted...with the decat as well, am I going to notice much difference? Power/torque curve? Noise?

Splashed out a little and treated myself for the upcoming Brands day and fitted a set of Pagid Blue's at the weekend to get them nicely bedded in over the next two weeks. First thoughts? Very surprised! For such a race focussed pad, and with it's extreme operating temperature range I...

Out of idle curiosity... I've had bikes over the years with drilled disks, and I know a lot of bikers also, and I've never heard of a drilled disk on a bike cracking. Yet everyone advises against drilled discs on cars as they crack. Is it because they're fully floating? Didn't BMW...
