Following my previous thread on basic rev matching, and following a solid week of editing, I've come up with to help anyone wanting to move on to trying heel and toe downshifting. Give it a go!
Part 1 - basic rev matching...
After many questions on how to do this I thought it best to make a video tutorial.
If you've tried it and given up...try again...you may well have missed out this very important first step!
This was filmed last July...and is my first attempt at rendering something in 4K. I have a couple of 4K cameras so will shoot something in UHD soon but, for now, this is just a test using 4x 1080 angles all pulled together.
Even though I say it myself...it looks fantastic on my great big...
Apparently you can get "left foot braking" from an aftermarket remap on your Fiesta ST. Ever the cynic I thought I'd test it for sure and ended up with this...
Having blanked the intake off with a Mountune plug it was worth a shot...
It was fascinating seeing how simple but intricate the inner workings of the symposer were.
After 3 1/2 years, 57,500 miles, 4 trackdays, a sh*tload of money, and plenty of OCD cost recording later, the results are in...
My RS should be cheaper :fearscream:
I think it sounds spot on, had the Mountune exhaust and sports cat on for 10k miles now and it seems to have bedded in nicely...
Or is it just plain nasty?
I'm meant to have two of these holding the lower edge of the rear bumper on...
Instead, I have one good one as above, and the other looks like this...
I suspect this is from when I got smacked from behind a year ago, the threaded metal stud got bent out of shape, it was bent back by the...
Can this be done easily or at all?
Mine is very slightly blowing from somewhere, it's just the excuse I need to go for the MR230 pack which has the exhaust included but knowing Mountune it could be a good few weeks before I can get it fitted.
Paste? Bandage? Welding?
What are my options?
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
This morning I managed to get smacked up the ar*e by a Megane while taking Megan to school, it shook her up a bit but she managed to get to and take part in the sports day and is fine. I now have, after several hours of recovery, taxi rides, collection by Enterprise, and then a fun drive home, a...
...I was quite surprised by this given the pitlane at Goodwood had just had a fresh sprinkling of drizzle.
A couple of quicker gear changes and with solid traction all the way through 2nd I should better Lord 'arris' figure of 15.4.
Does anyone have any experience with these?
I'm looking for something to capture a good quality two-channel audio input, captured from in-built mics or a separate mic/line-in.
I'm thinking the standard dictaphone/voice recorder isn't ideal as they're geared specifically for voice only whereas...
So I'm out legally lapping a local section of DC trying to get my intake temps up when a B6 S4 joined in the fun.
Conclusion?
An upgraded intercooler is a waste of money unless you do trackdays, and the understeer in an S4 means it gives a massive amount away exiting tight 2nd gear turns.
Various in-gear runs and a 20-80 sprint at the end. I'm surprised the Clio held up as well as it did...the torque of the ST makes me remember the 200 as being quite breathless...but it's never really that far behind...
