It sounds like a tractor. I don't care how quick it is.

Because idiot. My issue is why they were both in the wrong lane for the roundabout. Bike saw the Evo and pulled over just to gun it past him, Evo gave chase because tiny willy. Like I said, both idiots.

Both idiots.

If they do, they're not a bank I'd be staying with.

eBay dude, you can pick these up for like a fiver now. I got one the other week

RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN Waaaaaay too many flags there for me.

Ladies and gents, I believe we have our 2015 Weirdest Thread Of The Year winner right here.

10 mins seems excessive to get any coolant temp in, but then that depends on how cold it is I guess. I'd expect a short drive of a few miles to at least see the needle moving.

"As it stands, there are countless hours involved in reshaping the panels to make the kit flow together." :lol: I think you might need to spend a few more hours on it mate, because it flows about as well as chucking a box of Lego down the stairs. Also: Best race car - 2015 Labor Day Classic Phoenix Erm, no. Best race car goes to a car that finished first in an actual race, not one that sits in a car park. That irks me. Not the guy's fault, I know, more the competition itself. 'Race style' I'd be happy with.

Is it really intimidating though, or is it now just one more ritual that you have to stand around and watch whilst being bored? Ban it all, get the game on with instead. Pointless tradition that has no place in modern top class sport.

Is that because they're too embarrassed?

Man, that's a proper mess of a car! But yeah, I'm old and grumpy and bitter, ignore me.

Blimey, touchy much? It was a joke guys, no biggie. I do hate the RB kit with a passion though, but yeah, each to their own of course. Although, on no planet is having a dildo as a gearknob cool in the slightest. I really do draw the line there.

Rocket Bunny stuff? Do you guys hate your car that much?

Having given the Clio the first proper thrash today since we bought it, I can honestly say that it's as great as I remember. On tight country lanes I struggle to think of anything that I could hustle as quick as this; Certainly I'd leave a Zed for dead, regardless of power differential. The chassis and feedback is that good, that for the first time in years I enjoyed driving FWD again. The balance of the thing is incredible, and that engine... Oh man, it just loves to rev! Fantastic little car, it really is. More pure fun than the BMW, that's for sure. I'll have to pinch it more often I think...

Air leak post-MAF. Check all bolts and connections, especially around the spacer.

I really wouldn't worry about the road approved thing. Still, the PF stuff gets my money every time.

Take a look at Ikea. I know, their showrooms are dire, but they have an on-line customisation tool so you basically build your own. For what they cost, good quality too.

That's where the best mate got his G from. He's done a few runs with them now, reckons they're *ahem* 'brisk'!

Tyre temps, I reckon. Also, how amazing was Seb's lap?! It was like watching Lewis on a charge, utterly mesmerising. Fantastic to watch, really hope he gets the win tomorrow now. Kimi, on the other hand, can FRO. Hope his engine blows up.

No probs fella, any time

Aussies will thrash us. You watch. *touches nose*

Christ, I can ramble when I get going

If they're adjustable ARBs, try slackening them off a notch if possible. If not, you should be able to accomplish the same thing by running the dampers much softer than you are now. You could also remove some pre-load from the springs, if you have any on. Try things in that order, and you should see a noticeable difference. I ran Eibachs on my 350 on OEM dampers and springs, which gave me plenty of feel whilst eliminating a good portion of roll. The trouble with suspension tuning is one man's accurate is another man's twitchy mess, it's so hard to get right which is why the top guys charge a fortune. Not saying this next bit applies to you, but the biggest mistake some people make is thinking that stiff everything is the way to go. Whilst as a general rule that's true, it's also very compromising on road cars cars that see occasional track use. If you want to do it 'properly', slacken everything off to as loose as possible, then increase things one item at a time. Once you've got to where you want to be with one, then adjust the next item and so on. Boring, but the right way to do it. Also, don't feel that you should run the dampers on the same amount of clicks: You'll very likely want the fronts stiffer to cope with the extra weight. On my MR2, I run the rears 4 clicks harder than the front, remembering the engine is in the middle. On a 350 with the BCs on on a fellow member's car, I set them up approx 12 from stiff at the front, and 17 from stiff at the rear IIRC. That gave a lovely feel, but in balance with the ARBs he had fitted at the time and on 18" wheels. On the 19"s on the 370, you have less tyre wall to give you feedback along with a stiffer chassis from the off, so you may need to go softer than you think. All about balance and personal taste at the end of the day. Don't feel you have to run my numbers either: If you find the car better with the opposite, then stick with it
