The diff accounting for that margin makes sense to me. If it's the West circuit there's loads of places an LSD equipped car would just rip away from the ST.
Impressive for the 208 GTi though!
Exactly this.
I repositioned my front and rear stuck on mounts yesterday and changed over to 'No More Nails' double sided tape. Stuck directly to the glass there's no chance they're ever coming off unless I want them to.
I can vouch for these too. Had one for six years now, bought from eBay for £45, for trackday use and occasional wheel removal/swapping at the weekend it's been faultless. I actually used it to swap my wheels around yesterday and was thinking what a great but of kit it was.
Also consider the G1WH, my review of it...

I have two, front and rear, they're now £41 delivered including a suction and a clamp mount along with a 16gb SD card. I've been running mine now for 9 months and, left permanently...
I've always heeded running in advice, my 172 Cup was very strong compared to others, the ST is the same as all the rest.
It doesn't do any harm...and I enjoy building it up, getting miles on it, anticipating being able to absolutely wring it's neck.
That's pad material transferred to the disc surface, not from overheating...but from how pads are meant to work best.
Why do drag racers lay down rubber at the start line? Aside from heating their tyres up they're creating a rubber surface for their tyres to bite into. Rubber grips rubber...
It's soon to be two years since I started this thread, I'm a third of the way into my planned five year ownership, and at 31,000 miles it's holding together well.
Haven't driven it much recently due to my neck surgery...the hard ride is very tough compared to the Scenic. Haven't cleaned it...
This was me using cheap nasty Demon snow foam...I've not filmed a session with Magifoam but the foam thickness and how long it clings is night and day different. With a good foam solution the Karcher lance works more than well enough...
Did @Goodj not accept in an earlier post that a pricier lance is better than the more basic standard Karcher lance?
Your post seems to be arguing about exactly how much better the pricier one may be? Which is wholly subjective, no?
...and that makes him a 'sad little troll'?
LOL
I'm exactly one of the people he described so, yes, we do exist...and guess what...the Karcher lance works fine for me too.
It produces a clingy foam, clingy enough to hang on long enough to soften and loosen what's caked onto the car...and as @Goodj says, it's all about what 'foam' you use...
I never formally weighed my 172 Cup but I did weigh everything I stripped from it less everything I put back in (e.g. race seat +mount vs standard).
I took out a total of 117kgs so from a starting point of 1,021 it left me at 904kgs.
Are they worth it? It depends on how long you intended to keep you car.
I put one in my 172 Cup at 2,500 miles, it was still in there at 90,000 miles. How much would I have paid for paper filters at every 6k service in between?
Yes, they're worth it.
Interesting Tony, never knew there was that relationship between ambient and track.
Does maybe explain why the Bridgestones didn't perform that well, as soon as ambient is in low single digits they pretty much give up.
I'd love the hardware that you have especially the glide track.
Until that day I just make do with a GoPro and Serif MoviePlus...it has its limitations but for the basic car stuff I tend to do it's enough.
Any samples of your work?
You could always just remove the hose in the engine bay and stuff something down there to stop the noise getting through to the cabin.
I think the formal option of a blanking plug is considered more for when you want to up boost levels which then make the symposer take off from the intake...
Yep. Front near-side on mine. Raised it twice at service time, they respond by saying they've checked and re-torqued all main suspension components but the 'problem' still persists.
It's a common thing on STOC, tyre wear on mine is fine, car behaves as I'd expect it to dynamically, and it never...
