    GTR V SPEC

    I agree with Digsy about the wheels, but it does look pretty mean!
  2. Am gutted I missed this! Can we let him on again for a bit longer later today??
  3. Welcome to the club 1. They don't eat clutches at all. Whoever told you that, hasn't owned one or abused it on track. 2. Compared to an S2000? Handling is generally a lot more composed. And a world apart in the wet!
  4. This is what an ESR one looks like. So provided it fits properly, it'll be something like this.

    It's about what people contribute my friend. Otherwise the site gets used and abused, and we wouldn't have the community we have.

    Reflector change

    +1 - it's a PITA. I gave up and bought a NISMO front bumper in the end!

    At some point you have to roll off the brakes and back onto the throttle. At this point, if you are on the brakes and the clever thing rev matches for you, you are only on the brakes and the throttle is constantly dropping as you are not applying it. With proper heel toe at this point, you seamlessly go from brakes to throttle to not upset the balance of the car (the whole point of heel toe I might add). But with this system, you are on the brakes and off the throttle, which you now have to "get back onto". I can see some people being far too blunt with this, jabbing the brakes, shifting down and whacking the throttle back on again. Completely upsetting the car balance and stacking it into a kerb/tree/ditch. I'd have thought the TCS would kick in at that point. And they'd disappear off the road by not heal and toeing anyway in that instance. I think it gives a good opportunity to shift the left foot across to the brake earlier if not playing heal and toe, especially when you're not Ari Vatenen in the footwell! Left foot braking eh, hmmm, yeah you could try that. But I'm going through the window with DJsickboy in that case! I guess the TC will save them at that point, you're right. You'd be suprised the amount of auto's my Dad gets back at his place all smashed up at the rear when someone has tried to learn how to left foot brake!

  9. Thanks Adam, and a Happy New Year to you too
  10. Steady on, we don't just open the door to the Scots!

    If you're braking Chris, what do you need to feed the throttle in for??
  12. I quite like sushi, but think it's an expensive way to eat. Wagamama's is quite good. Noodle Nation is pretty good here

    You have the canvass, now get to work!
  14. As always, it's the footwork that always gets me with rally drivers. Unreal levels of instinct.
  15. Congratulations buddy Be a shame to see the Zed go......
