Yea if I ever went F/I I'd be changing tyres the same day... they lose traction easy enough with a stock setup....
-
Happy birthday for then but a little far for me

Best you could have hoped for after not being given a fixed penalty!

I wouldn't rely on the tables you find online. They were wrong for me when I got caught speeding. Were you caught via a camera or police car?
-
Is this normal? Have others experienced this too?

Stuck in traffic one day, bunch of lads in a Golf (I think) were having a look, so naturally I stalled it -
How long do you plan to keep your 86/BRZ?
Mike replied to griffinnn's topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
Probably for a while or until something I like better comes along that's reasonably priced (and I can afford!) Or another 2 years if I don't have ~£10k knocking around... -

In that case my clutch shall stay firmly up! (Except when changing gear obviously...) But yea, for me it was a natural reaction due to the speed I was doing - last week when it rained the rears were letting go easily and I just backed off and it was fine. Funnily enough, the time it happened at 70mph was round the corner from RRG after dropping you off -

I think Rob wants to say he can't be arsed... -

No Keith... just that kinda goes out the window at 70mph when the rear stops going in a straight line -

I know it's not the best way - but it's not like I'm coasting along, the clutch is only down for a second or 2 while it re-gains grips. If the rears let go at slow speeds I'm fine easing off, it's just when it does it at 65-70mph that things are a little different for me -

Took mine off this morning, looks much cleaner! -

Of the couple of times mine has lost traction at a concerning speed I've just gone clutch down to avoid lifting off too quickly. I figure it's safer to go clutch down as it'll mean no wheels are trying to drive the car and it'll naturally find its feet so to speak. -

Not surprised tbh, the roundabouts round there are terrible (no excuse I know...) -

Woohoo! Apparently there are a few people with photocopied tax discs (legit ones) for September because there wasn't enough made. -
It does look good in Man Utd Red

Spotted your old car this morning Rich, well pretty certain it was! Aero kit + red steering wheel MJ63 X..?
-
Impossible, too much orange left!
-
Same as Lauren above, might pop down for some food after work depending on time / location
-
Drive home the day after while it was raining (first time in September that I can remember) was rather fun... any sort of acceleration and the rears were losing it... Did manage to take a roundabout with the car on the edge, trip to milbrook paying off

Jay - How much are the blocks either side of the spare wheel well? -
Wanted Rear Boot Liner / Mat and Polystyrene Panel
Mike replied to GT86Jay's topic in Wanted GT86 / BRZ Cars and Parts
I may have the polystyrene block that fits in the spare wheel well spare in the next few days... not sure if that's any use (can you order the blocks separately?) -
Looks great Jay! Probably feels longer for you but it doesn't feel like it was 3 months ago when it was your birthday!
-
Sounds like you need to turn the tunes up!

Forgot about this... bit late to take the day off now
