No-one asks you for proof of anything, but that doesn't mean squat. The Ring can be very slippy in places, and tbh if you're not going to push a little bit then is there any point in going? You're not going to drive balls to the wall, but even treating it like a fast country road drive you're still taking a huge risk.

So imagine this: Your rad explodes (not impossible) Ensuing panic means you spin into the armco Car is a write off (£7K) Armco damaged (£4K guess) GT3 behind you hits your coolant and spins into the armco GT3 is a write off (£70K & armco £4K) GT3 clips a biker, writes off his bike (£8K) Biker needs air ambulance and is crippled for life (£500,000) Value of £600,000, ish. Just for a quick 10 min lap of the Ring. Massively unlikely to happen, but it's at your own risk. Or you could do a trackday out there, get the whole use of the straight and insure yourself up for about £1000. Bargain, I reckon.

This is why I won't do tourist days. The risk is just too great, and I like my house.

MPSS. Given that they're about £800 a set now, they're an absolute no-brainer.

T1Rs are awful on track, they'll melt within the first session. Ghastly things to use on track. Chuck the MPSS on a credit card and pay it off next month.

Air in the clutch line. Needs bleeding again. It's a bitch of a job!

Just do the controls in the first place. You will definitely need the fascia.

I spent all weekend driving instead 8) Good drive out yesterday in the MR2, and then up at 5am today to get some fast empty road driving done in the 911. Quick nap when I got back and I'm good to go.

No, they have a 5% chance of either IMS or bore scoring probs.

Looks right to me. At least, that's all I ever used on mine.

That's a manly cup of Ribena you've got there Steve

That does seem a bit high. You've probably gotten away without having any damage, but definitely worth treble checking any oil levels in the future.

Ah, I did wonder that after I'd written the post. If that's the case, definitely get them to add weights to the seat when doing it.

What's a quart in proper money? How close to a litre?

Set the springs and dampers up the same both sides. You could do a full setup with a set of weights on the seat to simulate your weight, but you'd really want to do that in conjunction with a full geo. I'm guessing that's already been done so need to worry about that any more, but remember that adjusting the ride height from this point can have massive effects on the camber so you may need another alignment if you decide to raise or lower the car again.

Abbey MS, RS Tuning, Horsham Dev... Pick the closest

Nope, not a sausage. ECU will throttle back performance to account for it. Uprev time for you!

My review of all bits here might be of interest /thread_hijack

Oh yes

Any fuel that meets BS7800 will be fine. No app that I know of for everything, but it's not hard to figure out which pump is super and which isn't. Just keep a bottle of octane booster in the boot in case you ever get caught out (like in the wilderness in the highlands).

@Kyle I did it before anything else, but only did ARBs afterwards suspension-wise. Bracing made the most difference, ARBs gave me more adjustability allowing for finer control. I also did bits of the bracing at a time, the rear bar was a hoot as it made the rear end very lively

Latter are better, but that's not saying much.

Summit Bracing is amazing, made a massive difference to mine. That whole setup you've got there can't have been cheap, but I bet that's worth every penny. Great choice of bits too

It's not fake on the BRZ86, it's a proper pipe running from intake to the a-pillar. It's just too over done IMHO, so loud it actually sounds fake.

Which is why most owners have the OPC warranty, available on cars up to 10 years old. £1k a year, give or take.
