    Novice Track Day - Snetterton 300 - Feb 3rd

    I'm just going to get there when I get there. Not faffing about convoying TBH. It's an early enough start as it is, let along worrying about others...

    Novice Track Day - Snetterton 300 - Feb 3rd

    I'm going to drive the car there. Public transport looks like a pain on a Sunday morning. :rasp:

    Caring for a car sitting in the snow?

    Nothing worse than rusty snow. I hope you did as you were asked ?

    Phone Renault and ask them. There's your benchmark.

    Back right bottom bulb issues

    Put your lights on. Walk around the back of the car. Are all on that need to be ? Get a friend to help you - press the brakes and check again... same question.

    Is anyone capable of fitting a turbo timer for some cash?

    It's the oil continuing to go around the turbo that's needed, not the engine cooling as such. Use your noggin... Keep it off boost for the last 5 mins if you've been blatting about like a mad thing anyway. If you've driven for an hour at 100+ down the motorway boosting the arse off it...

    Photography noob

    Everything generally under about £2k in the DSLR world uses a smaller sensor. Full frame cameras like the 5D use an equivalent sensor to a 35mm film camera.

    Photography noob

    Makes sense now ;) I did wonder... The ~£80 Canon 50mm f/1.8 can give you results like: Lights at F1.8 by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr Mr & Mrs Williams by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr Diesel playing hide & seek by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr Many other things to do with it...

    Apparently my car is for sale!

    Report to eBay?! I hate eBay. What an utterly stupid advert from start to finish.

    Sounds like a proper strange kit lens? Got a pic of it?!

    Locked my keys in my car. HELP ASAP

    Pull the top of the door back carefully, poke unlock button or pull inner-release handle with coat hanger. Call the AA or a locksmith. Failing that, pop a window as far away from the drivers seat as poss !! Glass is awful and you will find it everywhere, for ever and ever...

    No problem, however that's a little bit TMI, TBH. Enjoy !

    ESP/Traction control question

    LMFAO ! Brilliant. I actually just throw my winter tyres away when they get dirty and buy some new ones. Luckily for me I'm loaded. Me, apparently. :approve:

    Another hopefully longer attempt on the go before a) it turns into tomorrow already and b) it snows... Battery 2 charging .. F1 style swap needed soon :o

    ESP/Traction control question

    Get some winter tyres. Also, RTFM. Light on = TC OFF ! Why would Renault make a 'safety system' that you have to switch on if you want it...?! :S

    Think i might buy this golf ...

    Saving up for coilovers IIRC. CS rules innit ?
  19. TheEvilGiraffe

    ESP/Traction control question

    So, how do you turn the TC on ? When you've turned it on, is the dash light on or off ? Also just out of interest, why do you want it ?! There's zero need for either in a <200hp FWD car.

    Think i might buy this golf ...

    Looks awful. Diesel I presume with those specs ?

    upgrade existing P.C or build new?

    Is the RAM maxxed out ? Looks like only 1GB but says bank 4... if it's got 4GB it should be quick enough !? Stick something less awful than Vista on it and see if it springs to life. Looks like a pretty tidy spec even 6 years on ! I'd save the £600, buy a new screen (or two depending on...

    Star trail .. pic + vid from tonight

    Cheers all ! Been doing it long time now .. seems to work ;) Want just enough sensitivity to pick them out but not too much to over-expose, so 400 works nicely on my camera. 20s is long enough to get detail without being too long to pick up the light pollution in the area. f/6.3...

    Star trail .. pic + vid from tonight

    I didn't ;) Watch the video. I think it was the neighbour's security light or the car park lights. Unsure... Yes I know it needs some light cropping and a slight + on the tint as it's a bit green, but it's completely off camera. Composition was a pure guess as the thing was damn near...

    Jetwash my engine?

    Firstly in this weather ? You're mental. I wouldn't bother until about March .. However, you want to cover up every electrical item in the bay. Just not worth the bother one bit.
