Not strictly a 'Skyline' I know, but this session was like a trip down memory lane... ...and part 1, filmed 10 years ago ? on a very poor 4:3 potato... :ROFLMAO:(y) I am so loving this thing :love:

I've had my Pixel 2 XL for 1.5 years now and I'm exactly the same. There are no real weaknesses and there's certainly nothing out there that makes me want to change it. As for the camera, I think it's pretty f***ing epic myself. For a good period of time is was rated as one of, if not, the best...

I'm sure I once heard/read that the best camera, with any doubt at all, is the one you have with you when you need it. I can't imagine why I'd want or need one of those hulking great things over the 8mm thick phone that's always in my pocket!

Exactly! It would be even less on the same tyres, with a clean track, and had I had a few more sessions in it...that would be a true test v the RS and I think it's every bit as quick. As it turns out, a technical issue means I've not managed ot get my LSD fitted yet, and my planned brake fluid...

Sort of... First they launched the 'Edition', Nitrous Blue paint and came with Mountune's front mechanical LSD, I don't recall they were limited in numbers. Then they launched the 'Red Edition', same as above but with flat race red paint...this was limited, 300 total in the UK. Finally came the...

Exactly! More often than not low mileage means an engine that's only ever been run with cold oil and other things (starter motor etc.) that have been used just as much as a high mileage one! I saw this all the time being in the RS community for the last few years...regularly driven but 400...

FLOL!

Gears to go, brakes to slow...the more you do, like with unnecessary downshifts when approaching any kind of hazard, the more chance you have of making a mistake, it increases wear on the drivetrain and your progress will likely be less smooth too. That's the advanced driving way though, I...

I'll be going through this at the end of this year...and this thread gives me hope :D

Here's a rundown of Goodwood with some side by side lap analysis...the 140 got a lot closer to the RS than I thought it would, mostly because in a straight line it absolutely destroys the Ford :ROFLMAO:

100%! That was often a line trotted out by the early adopters of the 200T...because blending in is bad and people have a need to be noticed! I'd really be quite happy in one of these new STs, it seems they've taken everything good from the mk7 and left behind the few minor negatives.

So they do! Note to self; research more widely, don't rely on information from one IG post as being gospel :ROFLMAO:

No LSD though so I hear...which seems a little odd. Random fact; I was in that exact place ^^^ last week, staying at the same hotel as the Ford central base of operations! I didn't see any of the cars though.

Ni! Ni! Ni!

Nice buy. I'm 100% in the non-aero camp...there's something satisfying driving around in something that 99% of other road users see simply as a humble diesel...yet you can go batsh*t mental in it at the drop of a hat.

LOL at this, how much has changed in the last 4 years!

Wow, that's proper cool!

...and here's session 5, with traction and stability control fully off from the outset, a 911, and an Exige S. It was fun while it lasted LOL

...and here's session 4. I turned the DSC fully off in this one...but timed that really badly! Session 5 will follow this weekend (y):D

Oh it was, a huge amount. Not as precise as the RS but just as willing to move about and it hauls ass down the straights! 3rd and 4th are quite long but 5th is really short...I think that's part of the reason it reaches a much higher speed down the straights than the RS...it can really get...

That's very very very nice. Indeed. What's the forward adjustment knob on the seat base for? Seat base angle?

Things got more lively in this one, the 140 started to come alive a bit and, apart from one minor moment, I found a happy medium with the brakes.

Here's session 2. After this one it was clear the brakes have one full lap in them at best. :ROFLMAO:

GoPro are currently discounting all of the new 7 range. You can get a 7 white new for £159 which is pretty much the 'new' hero session spec wise.

As in the little cube one? I use mine all the time. Apart from the phone app, which you need to set it up, being a little clunky I can't really fault it.

I'm there that day but @Sir_Dave is there earlier in the month.

I'll be there with my full array of cameras and mics Dave. If there are differences, I'll capture them!

(y)(y)(y) Which is exactly why, LSD aside, I'll be doing absolutely f*** all else to this car. As a road car it's just about perfect. Comfy or firm enough for whatever mood I'm in. It goes, stops, and turns more than well enough and sounds quiet/louder depending on my mood too. Fitting the...

Noted @Jeff simply , audio levels were a bit trial and error...and as said this was a rushed edit/production. Through my B&W headphones it sounded spot on ;) ARBs aren't something I've seen mentioned a great deal, if at all? This makes sense...did you change your springs?

Yep. At eight tenths they're bang on, at the full ten tenths, you need your fingers crossed!
