I should be up - probably not in the Type R thought because I have a flat spot on one of my tyres and driving 3 hours on it would be a pain in the ass! lol New yoko didnt arrive in time! So I will be there depending on if I can talk my mate into driving.

Aye you need to upgrade your transmission before you can change ratios. First upgrade allows you to alter final drive ratio and the second allows fully adjustable gear ratios.

Funny you should mention that, I found the game boring and actually harder with the aids on. I am on hard difficulty plus traction control off and I still find it quite easy. Need to try out the next difficulty with manual shifting. The professional difficulty with a clutch seems interesting! I'll get you added tomorrow night when I'm on, see how good you really are!

Cracking game. Just completed DiRT 2 there and moving onto this. First impresions I was a bit weary, but I think it was down to the shoe box cars at the start. Bought myself a 22b and loving it now! lol Not had a chance to play online yet but apparently its meant to be great. Some great tracks although the only UK track is Silverstone.

Pedals! Hows it going? You still not got yourself another Impreza yet?! Motors going good - seem to be fixing something different every month right enough. Just now its leak watch! Cars totally stripped out, I've found and fixed 4 different leaks but I still have another one I can't trace in the drivers footwell. Once I start the new job I'm gonna buy another car for a daily driver and rip the engine out for a few bits and bobs to be done. Aye, Adam had his Evo up getting mapped by The Dentist. Had some problems mapping his ECU because it had been tinkered with in Japan but eventually got it done. Didn't make the figures he was hoping but if he replaces his ECU and gets it mapped again he could see an extra 0.1 bar and a few more bhp. It's got to be around 330-340bhp but feels very similar in power to my Type R.

New job thankfully! Just finished uni, that was my part time work whilst at uni. Got a graduate job through in Edinburgh! It's ridiculous my yearly wage will increase x10! The Type R is getting overhauled. Want to get as much track time in next year as possible with a view to competing in a year or two's time.

Haha its normally abandoned in the drop off point or across two spaces. You wont be seeing it there anymore after Christmas! What is it you drive?

I'm a Greenock punter!

Watched a gixer engined kart at crail on Sunday there. My god, that guy had a death wish. Rear end wiggling even when crossing the finish line. Suicide Kart! lol

Just thought I would chip in with this. A study done in America on cars with ABS and they found that... ABS has no real-world effect on dry-surface braking ABS-equipped vehicles take longer to stop on ice than non-ABS vehicles ABS-equipped vehicles are more prone to roll-over accidents than non-ABS vehicles ABS-equipped vehicles are involved more often in single car fatal accidents than non-ABS vehicles Source : http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/killer-ab...ver-risk-by-51/

Been desperate to see Colin's car for ages! Braveheart, do you have a project / "my car" thread anywhere? Been digging through to find one. Found one or two pics and it looks awesome

Think I will pop up for this one. Just to spectate and see some of these cars hitting the strip! Can't afford to brake anything at the moment! lol

I'm not really clued up on where and when these events happen, is there a website with all the details, events, etc?

Excellent, I love reading the updates on this thread. Would love to come and spectate but they are just too far to go for the day.
