Sevenman Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Ooh can`t it just, Well, it seems my pessimism was misplaced, and from a chat with Steve at work today he seems to be happy about the work this place has performed on his car. Shame my car has standard suspension otherwise it might be worth going there for some tweaking, but at least it has a clean bill of health after yesterday's service. Just got to decide whether to take it on a little pre-Ring trackday or keep the miles down and try not to break it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Thats my dilema atm, i want to give it a thrashing but wary about breaking something serious and not be able to fix it before the trip, but on the other hand i`d rather it break here than in germany, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Ryan - can you tell me how to make my air con work (I bought the car Jake had)? Si tells me we may have to call upon your services for a tweak if we get our wastegates plumbed through the exhaust system, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevenman Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) If you are after the radios that Steve has suggested for the trip, which seems like a good idea, then Argos appear to finally be getting some stock from 3rd June. Link here From a bit of searching around, they are the cheapest place to buy these radios. Edited May 29, 2008 by Sevenman Grammar...

SteveR Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Cheers Gavin Please can every car have a suitible radio (decent = at least a few km range, with the 'sub channel' capability). They help enormously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbasupra Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Can you simply tell if Runescape is a great game maplestory powerleveling or not without you becoming a member? The answer to that would be, NO! Well you can make a few predictions about Runescape and see the moral of the game when being a regular user and not a member but becoming a member brings a whole lot of additions to Runescape that you would never see if you were not a member. Being a member of Runescape has so many benefits and I will try to list them all here for you. Runescape tells you them, but I'm going to detail it a few features for you here. runescape money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clue: don't forget the km markers are based on the S/F line (i.e. 0km) being at T13 (the first proper R-hand bend, by the spectator stand).

jaymdee Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Well, I now have a 360 steering wheel rigged up for Forza2 and am putting in the laps:D I'm trying to drive sensibly, rather than nailing it and crashing, as though were actually my car. Got round in 9:50 today in an MR2 (which is spec'd to same BHP as mine which my brother is driving) with one small off on the grass for a 3 seconds penalty. Working up to the Supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working up to the Supra Even in a game it's quite difficult to aim to go fast but stay reigned-in enough to not come off the track at all, isn't it? It took me ages till I got to that point; something I remember before every real lap I set out on - I might think I know what I'm doing, but let's not push that theory. My real life bridge-to-gantry time in my Stock TT was the same as my Forza time (same car) when driving as fast as I dare but without risking coming off. I'm going to put all my new geometry settings into the in-game version of my single turbo Supe (Forza 2).... and NOT time it! lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 What was your BTG time then matey?, 9:30 was the best one I, erm, someone else timed. I didn't time any. I expect to beat that by miles even without upping cornering speed TBH. Above all I hope to continue to be smooth, and track a good line. I find as much satisfaction from learning & knowing where & what the track does as anything else. Backing off mid-lap and admiring the scenery (without being a hazard to anyone else) is cool, too. I have a wide aresenal of lap types. You getting the exhaust done today?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
