My revup used chuff all oil. Luck of the draw, more than anything .

In the on-going experiment that is fiddling with things just to see what happens, I've been playing with the suspension again today. Yeah, still...! I've put all four corner on max soft, for no other reason than to see how close that actually is to the stock settings. The answer? Closer than I expected, tbh. You do notice the extra spring rate (exactly what that is I don't know, I really should speak to BC and find out) as it's more resistant to immediate bumps, however the damping at full soft is remarkably compliant and IIRC pretty damn close to stock. Certainly the car wafts much better at this level. My previous posts relating to super soft were actually made at 5 clicks from soft, turns out I can't actually count Is it what I'm after? No, but it's nice to have the option. I'm still struggling to find the perfect balance as the roads round here go from billiard-table-smooth to 13-year-old-boy-pockmarked within a few miles, but I'll get there. Oh, I should probably mention that I also have the full fitting kit for a bucket seat sat in my dining room right now too...

Yay!

Not the case. Unless they've changed the terms recently, then the document you sign explicitly states that all parts must be Porsche OEM or the entire warranty is void. Doesn't matter what the guy on the phone says, or if they'll let most things go, if the engine goes pop and they send an engineer round and they can see you've got a Bosch battery fitted, I can promise you that you won't be getting a new engine any time soon. They no longer put the policy documents online which is a shame. If they've changed it then brilliant, common sense at last, but as of a year ago that definitely wasn't the case.

Everyone (myself included) assumed that Lewis preferred his cars with a bit of oversteer, given that was how his championship winning MP4-23 was setup that way, along with watching his driving. It was only a few years later in an off-the-cuff moment in a random interview where he said he actually preferred a smidge of understeer instead, it was just that McLaren wouldn't set the car up like that for him.

George Foreman plastic spatula. The old skinny style ones. They're utterly brilliant for this kind of thing.

As you admit, that was a couple of years ago. Now they would take you to court, and they'd win. The best thing people can do is pay attention when they're parking, and avoid any extra charges at all. No extra charges = no money for the PPCs = they go out of business and sensible parking can start again.

Pass the entire bill to the insurer you were with when you had the accident. Simple as that. It's not a fine, it's an invoice.

Private sale, no chance.

It's 2% in the other direction, which will actually decrease your arch gap too despite the smaller profile (wider tyre, you see).

Dead of night, dark clothes.

A heavier gearknob is one of the few places on the car where I'd actively seek to add weight.

Yeah, I suck

Or their website. Clark are very quick at getting things sorted.

Nope. Bovril on toast put manly hairs on your chest!

Possibly. You're on just over 2% difference which *could* affect it, although I suspect it'll very much be fine with zero issues. 295/30 might actually be a better option, or even 305/30, which is the same as a Gallardo or GT3 if you want to know just how silly that is in terms of needing grip My more immediate concern from a driving dynamics POV would be that you'll be introducing understeer to the car. Not an issue in itself it you prefer that (and contrary to popular belief, there's nothing wrong with preferring understeer: If it's good enough for Lewis...!), just something to be aware of. You could get round that and have a more neutral car by adding some toe out at the front, but each to their own.

Nah, they'll all be the same give or take, any O2 spacer will be be fine for your needs

Clark Motorsport. Great service, great price, just great

Bovril > Marmite. Who's with me?!

No, but then I didn't cast a vote for Glasgow East or Cardiff North either.

Oh god no

Much better!

Oh god, those two gimps who won need shooting! I liked blondey girly the best

Without checking, I believe it was David Campbell-something. I shall now Google to see how close (or far away!) I am. Campbell-Bannerman, close! Ex-UKIP, ironically, now Tory.
