Some good footage there. We went over with 3 cars from north west, all green Zephyr 4 with colour coded bumpers, white 302 supercharged cortina mk2 and my ropey 99 Dodge dakota minus a front bumper. Pity you didn't get footage of the evil green 34, spool should make it interesting to drive.
Is that the one about 1:15 in the 2nd vid coming in?
I had some still footage of some cars and some moving footage of some that i deleted as i ran out of space to record and started deleting stuff to get cars leaving. I'll have to delete alot of music before the next one i go too.
A good turnout though.
I think i saw your cars, i had got a bit low on space by then so i was only filming stuff leaving by then.

Yeah, i think they had a few problems with the police years ago with people doing massive burnouts.
Everyone keeps it calm now and the police rarely even come along now.

Yeah i should have probably put american in the title like on the videos
.Classic 911, 944 and 928 though

So a kind of guide to use whilst at a Geo machine to learn about more advanced parts of the system?
-
Do you mean you want to put the training online so people can guide themselves through.
Like an online refresher course?

Another good mark for the Prius. It makes the least brake dust of any car I have ever owned. I read of people driving them for tens of thousands of miles without needing to change brake pads. I looked up posts on Priuschat and there is a bloke there with 160,000 on the clock and still running his original pads.
Does the Prius not regenerate the battery when braking? I imagine this reduces the load on the pads.

Pretty much anything that is innovative gets purchased by whoever has the most money to lose from its existence, eg oil companies.Why is it that the engine hasn't really fundamentally changed from when it was first created? Is it simply because it is the best method, or is pursuing these innovative ideas just too expensive? -
Mine probably wouldn't be much better in rush hour traffic to be honest.

Your car does under 8 mpg

Those are pretty wide roads compared to the Harewood Hillclimb.

Maybe he can get a job at a club somewhere, lol.

20w50 for the Porsche.

Probably for the best.
Dont want you on that slip road again with even more power

Does it run better with fresh ones?

Bit surprising when it's a brand new car so never been washed!
All new cars are washed/valeted before going on the forecourt or in the showroom.
Yeah I know that, I meant only washed once...just shows how much damage a gritty sponge can do!!
Could get regular wipedowns to keep the dust off in the show room. peoples sticky fingermarks etc with a dirty cloth with bits of grit etc.

Maybe i should join them.
I've never tried drifting but i wouldn't mind a cheap set of Falkens
. Probably couldn't afford a cheap set

Why not just have flush fitting valves...how are you suppose to check them regularly!
They are super low profile, rubber band tyres. No air needed,

I'd leave it in drive at the lights rather than put it in neutral unless the manual specifically states it.
Also most will only allow you to start the engine in p or n so if the car wont start check you have it in the correct place.
You will have to train yourself if you plan to use the left foot for braking, you'll likely smack the windscreen if you first try doing it at any kind of speed without practise.
The lower gears are usually used for engine braking downhill with a trailer for example. Also for fast starts at the lights
. Also you may prefer the feel of the lower gears as more connected when driving as in drive the car will often go to the highest number gear it can as quickly as it can if not much throttle hence why they are known as slush boxes as they really feel held back and lethargic so a quick gear drop can make a huge difference to the feel and the directness of the throttle pedal.In queues the manual says you should put it in 2, i imagine to stop the TC slipping too much from the higher gears with all that torque on tap. My Porsche only has D 3 2 but no 1. It seems if you are still when you select 2 it will start in first gear and hold it even at high rpms in first but if you select 2 while moving it drops to 2nd gear and holds it.
Auto's accelerate very much on how much pressure you apply as well as how fast you apply it. You could slowly accelerate in 4th and have your foot to the floor if done slowly, or you could have dropped into 2nd and be flying off if you put your foot down very quickly. It will take some time to get used to it.

Well done, will they get geometry done by you as well?

Wow that's quite an involved process then! Is the PAX system still used then? I thought other than cars that already have it that not many manufacturers (if any) still use it due to the complexity.
Looking at the tyre though and the way it rides on that block in the centre of the wheel when flat, does the PAX work better everyday in terms of ride comfort and handling because the sidewalls don't need to be super stiff?
I'm guessing though that replacing a PAX tyre costs quite a bit more than replacing a normal tyre?
PAX still exists and may get stronger since the RFT is despised, fitting the PAX adds around £70 to the tyre cost, which compared to the RFT is still a great saving.
How much weight does this system add compared to normal or run flat tyres on normal alloys?
Also what happens if you need a replacement tyre when you have a quick weekend trip to Monaco and need that new tyre before you head home?

Yeah its the 2nd Saturday of the month.
It wasn't very busy last month but the good weather had loads along to this one.
