    Wow. There's a lot of 6R4 going on with those front ones. Hmmm.

    Dem arches :oops: They're for real? Not just some factory to dealer transit protection type thing?

    Cliosport Surrey Rolling Road Day

    Generally, yes. I'm just stopping by as I'm meeting a mate who works nearby when he finishes at lunchtime. I want to ask Charlie what he knows/thinks about the various mapping options for my car.

    I'll be there tomorrow morning, not likely I'll be running though.

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    Exactly. The point in the video when I said 'I don't like that'...I had it moving, I had control, I needed throttle to keep it moving and bring it out...but the DSC just killed it.

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    I've not binned it yet, despite the recent rain and a new @Jeff simply inspired attitude of DSC and TC full off, always...it's a lot of fun and quite lively (y)

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    Yeah, alright, miles behind! This rain has helped a lot though, so has 1st gear, and some balls.

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    Brief thoughts after 3 weeks with the diff on, it's all good so far. The rain these last couple of days has been eye opening 😲 Default driving mode is now DSC + TC fully off. Can't get enough of it. Still lagging behind @Jeff simply in the rear axle delinquency stakes though.

    Buy an e90 335i they said, it'll be fun they said ...

    It's like you speak a whole other language Dave. Most of what I just read registered as white noise, especially that last line or two :ROFLMAO:

    172/182 vs modern hot hatches. On track....

    Agreed, to a degree. I did qualify my post with the fact those times were around Goodwood which, once you know it, is very much a power circuit. I think that played into the hands of the ST...around somewhere more technical I think the Cup would edge the ST, just.

    172/182 vs modern hot hatches. On track....

    I needed 230bhp in my mk7 Fiesta ST to match my best stripped semi-slick time in my Clio 172 Cup around Goodwood. Standard v standard I think little would seperate them.

    This is so true! @OCD_Eng it's doubtful you'll be driving this track layout but regardless, here's some inspiration (filmed on a potato)...

    172/182 vs modern hot hatches. On track....

    You've done Bedford before? Many times? Have they? All things being equal pretty much as said above, you'll struggle, but if you're a veteran around there and for them it's their first time on track, you should destroy them. That's the two extremes...so anywhere inbetween really!

    My first time driving RWD with an LSD

    I can do better than that, if it happens you'll see it in glorious multi-angle 4K hypersmooth slow-mo (y)

    My first time driving RWD with an LSD

    2 weeks in now, it's taken me until today to grow a pair and turn DSC fully off. What a fool I've been. Fcuk me, proper car 😁

    Catalytic converter prices

    I've scammed every single person I've ever traded with if that's the case. Buy low, sell high, that's simply how the world works.

    A weaponised Ford Escort RS2000...

    I'm NOT a good passenger! I thought he was/we were really motoring but watching it back it's clear he only got near full boost on a handful of occasions and only momentarily at that as he immediately backed out of it. Understandable really LOL I grew up with a 1.1 Popular Plus Escort, of this...

    A weaponised Ford Escort RS2000...

    I put a couple of stills of this beast in the "Cars spotted" thread, didn't plan to but had my GoPro with me on the day so filmed what I could in case I could make anything of it...and the new 7 Black excelled, stability, lighting, and especially the sound, both inside and outside of the moving...

    My first time driving RWD with an LSD

    He's never done one before so just worked out what he could as we went along! Is it really that simple, 15 minutes? You take it out with driveshats attached or pop them out and just drop the diff? Not that it matters of course...I will not ever take this thing off my car. Driving in this...

    My first time driving RWD with an LSD

    All done beforehand. I made Jeff wait ages until the numbers stacked up. Pennies! I completely ripped you off IIRC 😘

    My first time driving RWD with an LSD

    I couldn't with my camera gear and a 40kg diff ready to crush everything!

    My first time driving RWD with an LSD

    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:

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    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...

    Catalytic converter prices

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

    Catalytic converter prices

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