I agree that the GRY is not a hot hatch. Voted for it anyway. That way it will upset those that think it’s not a true hot hatch, and those that just hate it. Also voted for the 182 Trophy, because it is the best hot hatch of the last 25 years.

Can we all agree that the main purpose of the window rise after shutting is to allow the door to shut more easily, but that it would also be beneficial for it drop before opening for the exact reverse reason? Good. Let’s move on.

This is great that people are actually testing these products, rather than just stating that ‘they noticed that throttle pick up was improved’. You can kind of guess by looking at the filter how well it’s going to do. If you swapped out the paper filter in an aeropress with a bit of large pore...

Understeering bloaty pile of soulless shite. Don’t get me started on the Audi…

My parents bought a nearly new Alfa Romeo GTV in the eighties, it failed its first MOT from rust, they sold it for nearly nothing 5 years from new with severe rust around the doors and sills. It was kept in a car port overnight.

I don’t agree with this. A remap is the single biggest power and torque gain of any modification and costs the least. What other modification sees peak power increase by around 15%? Certainly not an exhaust and/or intake. Even the most expensive intakes only liberate around 10 bhp. And a fair...

If the engine management didn’t have to reduce output for lower octane fuel, it would make the existence of higher octane fuel largely redundant. 95 RON is for bingo chariots, and Range Rover Sport drivers who can’t afford to run a Range Rover Sport. Performance car engines are designed to run...

Do it David, Bedford is the perfect track to start too, no barriers to crash into and run off everywhere. Start with a novice trackday, they limit the numbers and you don’t get race teams testing at the same time, which can give you a lot to think about when they come around the outside mid...

Technically, the Platinum White Pearl is the most expensive paint option, so going to black is a downgrade. Sorry.

✅ Correct use of handbrake

Welcome to the forum! Ignore OneHP, he can be a bit grumpy sometimes 😂 All GR cars are welcome at the Zoo! I think your goal should be to fit race suspension, crank those motors up to the max and see off the GR Yaris’ at trackdays.

Where does it state that? 7. Multi-lane carriageways (133 to 143) Lane discipline 133 If you need to change lane, first use your mirrors and if necessary take a quick sideways glance to make sure you will not force another road user to change course or speed. When it is safe to do so, signal to...

Because this is how an organism would operate a vehicle using only its brain stem. Pure reactive, zero reasoning, zombie driving. Accelerator pedal kept at a constant pressure with only a bit of optical feedback (light area/dark area) and steering input required to stop the car leaving the road...

For those who just want the raw data: Michelin Pilot Sport 4S: 1:39.0 Michelin Cup 2: 1:38.2 Pirelli PZero Trofeo Race: 1:37.1 But the P4S wins as it had the highest terminal speed at the finish line. 😂

I had a migraine yesterday. I feel much better about people today. Although I haven’t been out in the car yet…

Other people. Using the road. Or not using the road. Just f**k off.

I had no idea they didn’t change the air filter at every service, scandalous as you say…

To counter that though, the diffs and transfer case are sealed and self contained, the oil is going through heat cycles and shearing, but it is not picking up contaminants through interaction with fuel and combustion deposits the way the engine oil is. The service department thought I was a...

If there is another one I can’t see where it’s going to come from, or for what purpose, as the homologation rules have changed and WRC is hybrid now. That’s not to say future hybrid rally homologation cars won’t be great fun, or even full electric ones, but they won’t have a clutch or manual...
