Afternoon track session booked.
Not gonna lie, entering car details was difficult, i probably will have bought/sold another 4 or 5 cars by August :ROFLMAO:
Its a yes from me!
Think we are going to go up as a family for a few days, then ill come and do the track day/drink/camp on the Saturday night.
Its 300 miles/5 hours each way from Alton :ROFLMAO:
I went by myself last year, safe in the knowledge that CSF is an annual meet for those on the spectrum, so i certainly wasnt going to offend anyone by having a lack of social skills :ROFLMAO: In addition, my M3 wasnt finished in time, so i did my tracktime in a diesel mini. Needless to say, i...
X5 would probably be faster in a straight line than most of the 197/200's to be fair :ROFLMAO:
I've inherited the TiTty now anyways, so can show you all a thing or two about understeer lol.
Ended up loosing the curve and going for a 27" UHD one from Dell (y)

Was £200 after some more discount/Dell rewards. Think that'll be a nice upgrade over my diddy laptop screen lol.
Morning all. Bit of a noob question im afraid. Certainly not a "power pc" one lol.
Wanting a curved monitor for my XPS 13 and wondered if anyone has any suggestions. Would like to spend £150 or so and seen these two:

Ah feck. I blame the multi-tasking of working/looking after kids/booking trackdays/buying clios.
Just come along anyways? Can always offer some instruction to @Cookie ... will be quite easy tbh ... "just go faster terry" ... :ROFLMAO:
Haha, it was your build threads that convinced me to buy a 197 instead of a 200, oh and this being a bargain with the Recaros/Speedlines 😝
That is useful to know - saw some mention of slam panels or something as well, but headlights/bumper and some hammering/cutting of trim is ok.
I had similar...
Now picked it up.
To be honest, most of my thoughts from the 1st post are still true, although the steering now i'm used to the X5 seems far more direct/feelsome than when i was used to the Trophy/e46 M3 - i guess your opinion on a new car very much depends on what you are used to/coming from...
So i booked a trackday on 14th November at Brands with @Cookie @TheEvilGiraffe and @Sir Nancy Flowers and naturally man maths kicked in.
Cheaper to buy a clio, then sell it, than buy brembos calipers/pads/discs/remap for the Mini ... so enter 197 Cup v2.
Pick it up on Thursday.
Chuffed...
Being that no one else has mentioned it, i will. Have you had any tuition?
Being honest, a clio with 888's, coilovers and rear ARB set up correctly for a neutral to rear led bias, ie softer front, stiffer rear, more camber front, less camber rear, should not be understeering anywhere on track...
Create a login for erWin and its all on there: https://erwin.seat.com/erwin/showDSP.do
Might need a company name/email for it to work - ive got Audi/VW logins, but not Seat, otherwise i'd just pull it for you myself.
When i was looking at them earlier on in the the year, the Golf R estates have a MUCH better residual on them, which is useful for finance/PCP etc.
£20k Golf R estate had a £10k residual at 4 years, Leon was £6k.
Used to love FRST's!! First forum i used was fiestaturbo.com as it happens, before the french love kicked in with my 106 gti ...
Car looks fanflippingtastic as always @MarcB
So as has been said by many already, thanks for the admins/mods for putting on a great event.
Like most, i came alone and was concerned that i'd wander around by myself, being fairly socially awkward as normal.
Thankfully after about 5 minutes of being there, i met @JB21 (mainly as i'd...
