I'd have the 350. I'm curious, can they really do 178mph standard but are restreicted?

Glad you're unhurt. Well done for admitting that you cause it as you were in a hurry. 9 out of 10 people on here if they did the same thing would normally claim "the car just spun, I don't know why, I wasn't going to fast or anything". Being critical of your own driving is the only way to...

Love the white. Jammy b*****d though - I've been there 4 times this year and on each and every visit it's properly lashed it down all day long.

Understeer is caused by too much steering angle, too much speed, or a combination of both. To stop it, you must remove the cause. Easing off the throttle has the risk that you'll get the oversteer that caught you out so should only be done very gently. The other option is the steering, so...

Ahh, I see. I've only just realised what you said here. You don't remember I tried to kill you at Brands Hatch?

Eh? What's one of them? Very slippery limited diff?

A fellow Cup owner :approve: Welcome.

Nice write up. Since I got the Omega I'm in love with rear wheel drive. Those BMWs must be fantastic to really drive.

Avoid T1S if you plan on running them over Winter - in the wet they are terrible.

That's right, you can brake later because the brakes are working harder in a shorter period of time slowing the car down by turning all that kinetic energy into heat. You might be on the pedal less, but the pads will get hotter and do more work - venting and/or cooling aside, how much speed...

You live in a nice place.

Interesting stuff! What I can say is that I'm running an almost standard engine - and money spent on brakes has so far yielded the biggest lap-time improvement over and above anything else.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that was the track's fault was it? :rasp:

Couldn't agree more. I change mine every 2nd service (so every 12,000 miles) and it's the single biggest factor that can affect how your brakes feel and perform on a track day in my opinion.

I was trying to get the back moving about for fun as you can't really drive hard when the surface isn't consistent from lap to lap. When it went on me I trail-braked a bit too deeply trying to do just that.

They look very nice. Useful info on the studs too. I'm going to do that.

Clearing down camcorder tapes and came across this. A ragged lap on a damp track on very worn track tyres. With a nervous passenger. Click me

+2 as already said. Although, I found I could get the DS2500s to wilt at Bedford using the full GT circuit (lots of 100+ stops). That's why I tried Pagid Blues when I went back there - and they didn't suffer. The Seer - Peperami does have a point, you asked for advice and recommendations...

Yep. See post #7 above - no need to remove foglights if you get the pad/disc combo right. I've run Pagid Blues with Brembo HC which were faultless. I'm now on Carbon Lorraine pads on the Brembos...initial thoughts are that they're up there with the Pagids. That with braided lines and a...

Watched this with sound last night...just another day in the office for him. If I was his passenger I'd have not made a sound either LOL.

So true. Also, if it corners like it's on rails, you're clearly driving it far too slowly LOL

Try Highway (HIC). They're very mod and trackday friendly.

I love my Stealth from K-tec. Sounds nice too... clicky

To be fair, he obviously knows the road. I've still not watched it with sound yet.

I've seen worse.

That's what I thought too. It would improve response and speed up rev decay though.

Shiny! What mods have you done?

Have a word with the film directors then - get them to stop filming in this pesky 2.35:1 ratio and tell them to concentrate on 16:9 instead ;) They're 2.35:1 as that's how they were filmed and that's how they're supposed to be watched. There's nothing worse than a good picture stretched to...

Better pads and discs, with lines and decent fluid and fade will be banished for good. I've thought about bigger brakes/4-pots many times, then I go out on track and realise they just do not need it. As above, standard capliers are up to the job.
