sarjo Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Sat in the study surfing the net listening to the rain lashing down again!! Look out of the window and there she is - just gagging for a ride. Must get RLTC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I've just started my RLTC install and can't get any further as it's raining and I need to hang out of the car to fit it. Sat in the garage watching the MG auctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Well, I've been out driving the tits off my P&J honing my wet weather skills and avoiding skids/slides etc. Although I did have one unforeseen moment during a rather (ahem) brisk overtake spinning up both rears at about 90 leptons but apart from that wet or dry who cares!! Albeit that I don't have a massive single or hybrids or other exotica lurking under the bonnet, the secret is being smooth and progressive on the controls.

SupraStar 3000 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I've spent all day (and will spend this evening) working on the soop in a nice dry garage. Only problem is, the wind gets redirect down our road into the garden and blasted into the garage making it very difficult to work without weighting everything down.

RedM Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 When it's wet I reach for my Racelogic Traction Control unit. Then it seems like it's dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I've spent all day (and will spend this evening) working on the soop in a nice dry garage. . There's no way my garage would accomodate the Supra. Not only because the kit is in there, but I mean it's so damn thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I like the rain. I clean my car, then some birds usually shit their fukkin white and black turds all over it, and the rain washes it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesupratt Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I spent most of the day cleaning the Supra, then it tipped it down all afternoon and evening, then I had to drive down the A1 in th rain for 2 hours...its filthy again now! I really need a garage just so I have somewhere to work on the Supra, needs to be a double tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 RLTC makes the MKIV fun to drive in the rain, unless it is deep enough to aquaplane, it is like driving in the dry. You can boot it with confidence power, out of bends on WOT. It is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesupratt Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 That's it, rub it in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 That's it, rub it in! LOL sorry but it is true. When did you last do a 0-100 leptons on WOT in a thunder storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I friggin' love the wet. I'm very careful at motorway speeds, very subtle and progressive with steering etc and leave a very good space ahead, but on normal roads it's like one massive skid pan. I like practicing opposite-lock out of 90 degree bends. In the dry you'd have to be using a lot of power to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarjo Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 Looks like some more great driving weather for you guys with rltc. Its still bloody pouring down and I really need to do some jobs on her ! And she's filthy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
