We're now down to just putting up the top section of the tree. I try not to encourage too big an area for presents.

We have a winner folks

Yeah those are not nice conditions, what about the guy in the yelllow caterham?

 

Also surprised that you take a teg out in rain like that given their propensity to rust.

 

I actually prefer it to be wet or raining. I enjoy that much more. I'm doing Spa in April and I'm hoping it's going to be wet.

 

Ah, it's a Integra DC5 so no rust problems More worried about damaging it as only around 300 in the country.

Still pondering about buying one although it would be an extravagance and very stupid. Read about rust problems on sills and arches on DC5s though, seems to be a Honda feature!

 

I've never heard of that on a DC5. The forum is also pretty small so most things are discussed and well known. I'll have to look into it so thanks for bringing to my attention. My DC5 is 14 years old and no rust yet fingers crossed

 

I'm the same about a Zed. Really want one to tick off the list but really don't need one, have no need for one and is an extravagance. No room for a fourth car either. If I can find a place to store my Teg which is basically my track car then chances are I would be stupid and end up buying a Zed

're the DC5 rust it's nowhere near as bad as a DC2 but there are threads out there showing rear arch bubbling.

 

Have you had chance to look at one or drive one at all?

Yes test drove a couple and also visited TGM. One was heavily modified and felt pretty hard for daily drive the other was standard barring an unknown brand of jap exhaust. Love the dual nature of the car and hilarious cam phase change as you reach up the revs. Both cars felt a lot more nimble and lighter on their toes than the 370ZN but you defo miss the torque! Might take a punt on a standard arctic blue in summer depending on bonus situ.

Ok cool. Yes they are certainly duel nature and the cam change is so much fun, especially with a great sounding exhaust. As someone one said, it sounds like unicorns farting every time you get the crossover I get what you say with the torque but that can easily be fixed with a good exhaust and remap. I currently have a decat and Spoon Sports cat back and a lovely induction kit and it rips my face off. Still plenty more power to had if I wanted but I'm happy with it as it is.

If you do get one and fancy a slight improvement, then get a Fujisubo RM01A, Do Luck Air filter and a K100 remap and it will be a big improvement. Will cost just over a grand and Tom at TGM will be able to sort it all for you.

Saw a silver Zed today at around 6pm, waiting to get on the Farborough road at the roundabout by the surface car park/Police station. Loved the number plate 33 ELF. Very festive for this time of the year

Lovely looking car!

Get to work, I have something here for you ;)

Thank you for your guidance.

 

 

Most laser alignment places will have the factory settings in house, try for a Hunter, they are very good.

Get yourself a tyre pressure gauge and always carry a bit of oil for top ups.

 

Thanks, always have a tyre pressure gauge so that's one thing ticked off but completely forgot about oil top ups.

 

 

And don't forget decent brake fluid - boiling fluid is not fun.

 

Whta makes for a good brake fluid? Any particular brand/rating?

 

Hi Matt,

I've run my Z a couple of times now (Bedford and Setterton) and sofar it's performed fine totally standard.

The only things I have changed are tyres to Yokohama Neova, but I will fit DS250 pads when the current ones wear out.

Maybe see you at Bedford some time...

 

Good to know it runs well standard! I thought it would... Hopefully see you there, I think Bedford would be my choice of track for my first track day shenanigans.

 

I run AD08R's on my Teg and they are superb. Did a very wet day at Donington the other month and they held up brilliant. It was so wet that the session get red flagged a couple of times as the cars were aqua planning off the track a few times.

 

Did you aqua plane as well? Guessing you didn't from the way you typed that up.

No aqua planning thankfully, just lots of sliding A couple of Lotus cars did, with one getting quite smashed up They are superb tyres, just remember that in the wet, they are not the best but that would be the case with all track tyres.

This was an indicator on how wet it was. It did get much worse but it was still great fun

Saw a silver 03 plate Fairlady Z this morning. You came over Deepcut Bridge, all along Pirbright bends, then along school lane, through Pirbright and headed towards Fox Corner and Guildford. I was in the Silver Subaru Impreza behind

and my other trusty winter steed . .

 

I do really like that.

Here's a video of one of the shorter Welsh stages. I love driving this stage the other way around as you do the forest stage first, then across the top of the plain's and then downhill into the stadium section for the water splashes.

The new Codemasters rally title is meant to be pretty good. I think it's on PC and PS4.

 

I've been part of the beta for this for a good few months and yes, it is brilliant. Best rally game by far. Codies have gone away from the usual arcade approach and made a very pure rally sim. I pretty much play it every day.

What's it called please?

 

My brothers getting "WRC 5" on the PS4 for Christmas but don't think that's made by Codemasters.

Dirty Rally is the Codies games. It's out now on the PC but is not out until April 5th 2016 on the Xbone and PS4. Well worth the wait if it's as good as the PC version.

Not heard good things about WRC 5 unfortunately

Sebastian Loeb Rally is the other rally game coming out but no idea what it's like.

Nice car choice. My favourite being the DC5 and Scooby but only because that's what I drive Would love an S2000. Been in a couple and they are just so capable and fun. Really like the RS as I just love hot hatches but I could never own one as way too many cars in front on the list.

It all depends on how much over the speed limit you were going.

Will be getting R6 for sure. Right up my street being more tactical.

Thanks, that would be great

Great racing tonight and great banter also Must get myself some more cars and some setups. Might have a bit of a chance then lol

I might have to join you although only on the game pad sadly

Just out of interest as I have always wondered, are the indicators on the other side to UK cars on a JDM 350z? I have a Honda Integra DC5 and a Mazda Eunos that are both imports and both have the indicators on the right.

That BMW is rather low

Totally and utterly gorgeous looking car. Good luck with the sale.

Great video. Going to Applecross Pass has been on my list for a while.
