My winter tyres never festered, just thought bollocks to it and using the primacy's which are worse than the eagles lol. Still least it'll go sideways easier

road remap rather than just sticking it on a Dyno and mapping in a simulated static environment.

I agree, there is a lot of that in the US, but as Steve has just said people don't know the ins/outs of it and I think this is where the issue lies of people loving the road tuning. I myself know sweet f*ck all if i'm honest so if Mark is willing to offer time over a dyno to explain further then i'm all ears. Need to put my car back on your dyno anyway -

Dave, Mark isn't belittling the work of Adrian at all, in fact they know each other very well and work together on many things to do with the GT86 as far as i'm aware... I would hazard a guess however that Mark could possibly be a little ticked off about the fact that people are saying road tuning is awesome when in reality, there is minimal difference. Besides... with the logging, there's no reason you can't log and ask Mark or Adrian to adjust the tune as they see fit. Who are you suggesting is trying to get something on the cheap? I think it's actually nice of mark to offer dyno days. He didn't charge for the last one and i'm sure he wouldn't on a 2nd. He merely said he would be willing to explain the benefits of tuning on a dyno. Lets all play nicely it's only a discussion Perhaps Adrian should drop by the thread and give his two pence? -
I don't get it, is this meant to be a joke? what's she earning? lol

I'm not a tuner, so my opinion quite frankly isn't valid. But i'm kind of along the lines of Mike, I think both the road and Dyno can both be valuable tuning tools in their own right and actually using both is a sensible option. The fact you have an extremely good dyno is a plus. I don't think people quite appreciate it. Perhaps its the thought of ooo we're tuning on the road this is brilliant! rather than the fact it's better. To me it's neither here nor there! -
Yes tis a sad day, found out very early this morning and was gutted. Such a good actor from such a great series of films.

GT86 Drift Experience
rob275 replied to Subota Boy's topic in Meets/Show & Shine - Pictures & Videos
Agree, the silly wet surface, although fun doesn't provide the grip you really want. That said, it does save the tyres i suppose -
It wasn't meant to come across as harsh, i was knackered when i wrote that and generally in a shit mood lol. I find lighting things like this in general tacky, like Will said, it's just like having neons

I can only Apologise again, the supplier of the polo's is doing my f*cking head in I'm going to hopefully get it sorted on Monday... I'll post up as soon as I have more information. The guy getting them done is so annoyed about it he's contemplating changing supplier and giving me a full refund lol... Sorry for the wait, it's just literally out of my control and I haven't been actively chasing it as much as i'd like to due to being so busy at work.

GT86 Drift Experience

So it was a skid pan experience? -
Just seems so tacky to me lol, I'd rather have my car tell me a Special K joke when i open the door.
-
That is probably the shittest thing i've ever seen.
-
to be fair, nobody washes the car in the winter. As soon as november hits you should have something on it protecting it for the winter. I havent washed it since JAE though.... lol because my dent has upset me.
-
Done, You was going to let me know when you was available, I think Jay wanted to give it a test drive aswell. Let me know when you're available. I'm in Manchester until Saturday
