    Alignment set up - Yes i've used search!

    Yeah changing the toe makes a surprisingly big difference. I'm still eating the insides of the tyres but that's camber for you :)

    eBay track car is it yours

    I really want that black 200 - but I'm about... oooh.... eight and a half grand short of the asking price :)

    Smashed Trophy @ Castle Combe (no 299)

    WTAF went on there, your idea does seem to make sense McG. Not sure if whoever was driving the silver clio had any track experience, some strange lines, braking in the middle of one of the chicanes, all a bit odd.

    Smashed Trophy @ Castle Combe (no 299)

    Briefing we had last time out was brilliant. He asked if there were any first timers and when a couple of people said yes he just paused for a few seconds, grinned and said "And you chose Combe? Brave." Got the point across at least. Love that track but it's not somewhere to take liberties...

    ramair induction kit

    As said above its not the induction kit unless the way it's been fitted has caused an unmetered air leak which is making the car run lean, but I'm not sure how you'd manage that just by fitting a different air filter. Has anything else been done to the car recently? First thing to do is get...

    Your car when you first joined and now?

    Then..... Now...... And the daily driver :)

    Ah...... The days where cars go to die :(

    Smashed Trophy @ Castle Combe (no 299)

    Ouch. Hope the driver was ok. :( Impressive to do that at Tower, although to be fair Combe demands respect pretty much everywhere.

    195 50 15 R888R £75 on tyre leader

    GG is "soft" in Toyo terms but seems like everyone else calls it medium. They call SG super-soft or something so basically GG is the harder one and SG is the softer one. I need a new pair of 888's for the front of the car for next year so I'll be keeping an eye out.

    I've not actually been off yet, although I've been pretty damn close more than a few times. I can't be trying hard enough ;)

    Apple event - 9th September

    I can see why they keep the 16gb going, people like my wife don't need even 16gb because she doesn't do apps and I don't really need it because all my pics and videos go straight to cloud storage so no need to have them stored on the phone. Also, profit ;) The force touch stuff will either be...

    OnePlus 2 - Announced

    I got an invite yesterday, although not a shareable one, so ordered the OPT as I think a mate of mine wants one and it was only valid for 24 hours. It's weird, I bought the OPO but since then I've done nothing in the "community" at all, in fact I sold it after six months or so. Christ alone...

    The American Dream - My Knight Rider KITT Project :-)

    Ah, it's humanity verses a human - so a robot may allow a human or a group of humans to be harmed or actually harm them itself to protect humanity as a species. But I think we're going a big off topic ;)

    The American Dream - My Knight Rider KITT Project :-)

    There wasn't much that was in any way clever in the characterisation etc in KR, but I agree that was a really nice touch. Asimov's three laws are such a great plot device, I never realised he introduced a fourth law later on called (rather clumsily) the "zeroth" law: 0. A robot may not harm...

    The American Dream - My Knight Rider KITT Project :-)

    It's a good thing they stopped after three seasons. Imagine if they'd made a fourth where they added loads of extra stupid go-faster things, a "C button" and a token character with no point whatsoever other than to appeal to a demographic in the most patronising way possible. Because that...

    Are you *really* picking plot holes in Knight Rider? Realllllly? (Yeah, I never understood that either)

    Are there many recreations of the later dashboards out there? Personally I prefer the earllier one, but just curious.

    Have you actually ordered the map yet? You order the map and then submit the ticket with the screenshot. If you've ordered the map then the order number will be in the confirmation email.

    Lovely Nissan 350z

    Very nice. I thought about getting one a few years back but after driving a couple I just found them a bit heavy and inert to be honest. They're not a huge amount of fun unless you're really pressing them at which point you'd better be on a track because they generate a lot of cornering grip.

    RS2 Inlet Ebay?

    Does the new bracket for the coil pack raise the height of the coil pack? Just wondering if it's going to foul on a strut brace if one's fitted.

    Angry dashcam man

    He's a total penis. So many of these dashcam warriors are just idiots. Saw one the other day where he was slagging off a BMW to his left on a roundabout for not giving way, but the car was already established on the roundabout when cam boy entered and it was only a problem because he booted the...

    Plenum to intlet gasket, needed ?

    Yes it is very likely to cause an air leak, if it's not sealed properly it's going to let air flow where it shouldn't.

    iPhone 6S

    I've put my name down for one at work.... Hoping for a nice spec bump and more storage in the base model since that's what they'll give me.

    Alignment set up - Yes i've used search!

    A ton of front camber might not be what you want for the road, great for the track though. What behaviour do you want to change? I wanted better turn-in and front end grip on the track, the trade off is the car is a bit hyperactive on the road and likes to follow cambers/ruts etc much more than...

    Bonnet Latch - "re-call" update and help needed

    Didn't they just lubricate the secondary latch? That's what Renault told me when I asked about it so I just squirted some wd40 on it and made sure it was free to move. It's only a problem if you don't close the bonnet properly, the secondary latch corrodes and can jam, make sure it's free to...

    RSTuner Power Gains

    No it won't. It does make difference but it doesn't suddenly add 20 lb/ft across the range. What it does do is make the car much more driveable. The Clio is far from gutless low down unless there's something wrong but it does do it's best work higher up the rev range, that's just how the engine...
