That GSR is rude. Not a fan of all the carbon on the 8 Mr, think it has enough carbon already without making it look tacky.

It’s not a red TME, and I’m no polisher!

Might get another set of 8 wheels with AD08R, for wets [emoji23]

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Tommi seemed ok with getting his muddy 😂

This is heroic behaviour as far as I'm concerned:

f**k polish, polish it with mud 😂

You seen the one that's £54,000 on PH? Lol

Yeah, I don't get it.

They're still a GSR, and not *that* different to a normal VI.

VI TME RS a la @Ant1 on the other hand, all day long big bucks.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yeah, it's weird. I guess the rarity is another factor

This makes me feel uneasy.

 

[Silent_Scone]

That last shot, I think I read online he spent 48 hours cleaning it afterwards lol

 

[Djw John]

It makes me happy. Much better than it moving from garage to garage for washing and taping

You love it deep down.

I think I can count on one hand how many times I’ve washed mine.

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol ^

This week(end) is gonna be pretty good weather wise, probably some of the last this year. Time to hoon everywhere. Not driven it hardly at all since getting it back

 

[adamlstr]

I don’t have any holiday left to do another track day, before the winter hits. c**k.

Still I drove it up to Bedford for a palmersport jolly yesterday, and it was well received!

Ive had to strip it to its body shell.

He could have at least fitted some mud flaps

Picked the car up from the lockup at 10, just got home. Still can't get over how quickly it spools with this turbo. It's so addictive...till you have to fill up again :smiley:


Scott, fire your son and I'll borrow a couple more Go-Pros from work so we can take some proper footage lol

 

[Silent_Scone]

So borrowed a Hero 5 today for the first time. Recorded a few short videos on the way home, in the dark sadly but still

Audio is shite. Gonna take some tomorrow morning instead. Little did I know, the Hero5 is a rushed to market piece of filth. Case designs completely muffle the microphone. Morons

It's hard trying to get a good sound recorded off of a GP. I have a hero4 black, it's fine if I'm recording exhaust noise when it's stuck to the rear bumper but if I fit it to the door you get nothing but wind.

I've now bought a foam cover/sock thing and it's ok in 1st and 2nd gear but any faster you can't hear a thing, no wind, no engine. Nothing.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yeah there's not much gain either, you need a proper external mic!

Ignore my chums profanity lol. Best I managed to get in traffic in the dark with all the other zombies going home. 40 to 90 odd in 3rd gear. Will take some better footage with the mic sorted tomorrow.

Booo - saying the video is unavailable mate?

USB external microphone with a wind sock, mounted in the reg plate recess or somewhere similar, my pedigree chum.



15m20s for proper sound, seemed to have buggered up in the export.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Took some earlier gonna upload in a bit. Turns out if you have the port cover off, it f***s with the mic gain, too.

Thank you matey.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Bit better, with the port cover on! Makes a bit of a difference but will try with audio filtering disabled. If I end up keeping I'll pick up a mic, cheers Adam.
Just a bit of a pull on the bypass earlier, till I ran out of road. I've still not tried launch control since I had it mapped 😞 lol.

 

[adamlstr]

I think the mic and little usb to 3.5mm phono adaptor came to <£20, so not much expense for better sound.

Have you got a link to the mic mate or was it just an eBay job?

 

[adamlstr]

Yeah I was trying to look through my amazon purchases to get the right one that definitely worked with my hero4. Can’t see it on the app.

Will have to look on the laptop in a bit.

 

[adamlstr]

Linky

Seems I did it differently, and bought a straight USB one.

My Hero 4 has since bricked, and I've replaced it with a Hero 5 Session and haven't bought a USB-C mic yet.

 

[Silent_Scone]

In good company here lol

 

[Silent_Scone]

Honestly wasn't a fan of the Russ Fellows at first, but it's bedded in nicely I feel!

 

[r0ss172]

Took a deposit on mine last night, gets collected this weekend. Sad times, but onwards and upwards as they say...

How's comes bud? what's next?

As much as i loved it, it was just wasted on me.

I drive 20 miles each way to work and back in it, 5 days a week at 50mph, down a very long boring A road usually in back to back traffic. Was costing a lot of money to be used just for a commuter car. In an ideal world i'd keep it as a 2nd car, but i just wouldn't drive it then.

Whats next... i literally have no idea. I still dont feel like i ever replaced the Golf properly, and fancy something new again. I drove one of the new Range Rover P-HEV's at work yesterday and its turned my attention back to an I3 (dont laugh) to use purely for commuting to work and back. Then with the money id save on fuel etc, maybe get myself something else, should the itch need to be scratched. There's still a big want for something posing a Subaru badge inside of me that i need to satisfy at some point in the future.

Makes perfect sense mate, I couldn't use the Impreza everyday it would annoy me and cost me a fortune.
I'm the same as you mate, I work 24miles each way and I sit on an A road into London. There is no fun what so ever doing that so I just drive my old van which I'm not to fussed about racking up the miles etc...

Oh and a exhaust vid of mine should you decide to come over to the dark side..[emoji23]
