Re: If price wasn't an issue
Look to be paying around £180 per corner INCLUSIVE of everything for what sort of tyre? Etyres are quoting a range from Avon ZZ3 at £155.50 all in up to Micheline PS2s at £289 all in.. I'd trust them to do the job too because as it's a franchise it's the guys whole life to do good work otherwise th...

Brilliant evening in the sunshine at the Autodrome. Standing noise test showed up at 86db so no issues at all. She worked like a charm, although towards the end of the session the rapidly wilting front tyres brought out a lot more understeer and squirming. Brilliant range of machinery from Reynard s...

Re: RE: Whinge: RNS-E Annoyances vs iPod brilliance
Press Car and click on Version. You don't need the dealer to do the upgrade, just get a newer map DVD and insert it - the SW upgrade happens automatically. To get SW 0650 you need a 2009 or 2009_1 DVD. Checked at lunch and found I'm on SW 0500, which would make sense as the car was born in 2006 and...

Re: RE: Whinge: RNS-E Annoyances vs iPod brilliance
Annoyance #1 - set repeat mode to Playlist/Dir, disable subdirectories and enable Mix (random). Okay I'll explore Annoyance #2 - you don't have SW 0650 (0260 if you are in the US) do you? That fixes this bug. I'm guessing not, vaguely remember an option somewhere to show software version so I'll ch...

Whinge: RNS-E Annoyances vs iPod brilliance
Annoyance #1 - Maybe I'm just spoiled by my iPod, but when I set the play mode with mp3 to 'shuffle' the thing will play random songs, but only within the same physical folder of music as oposed to literally picking any file. I suppose I could manually put all my songs into one folder, but when the...

Thanks for advice guys. I've done a couple of airfield driving ferrari/lambo/porsche type days and always got loads out of having an instructor on hand, so had booked one for this session too. Sure I'll have to recalibrate how I'd normally drive, particularly around braking as I probably only ever u...

Dr. Palmer's back yard. Tyres are nearing the end of their life anyway, so good excuse to go.

Track day noise limits - any issues with standard B7?
Looking at booking first track session with my B7 Avant. Has anyone had any issues with noise limits or know what kind of Db gets recorded?
Presumably do the test with the magic flaps closed?

Just used Robbie to give my new baby a quick spruce up. No hesitation in recommending his work. He posts a lot on the detailingworld forum. There's some good threads there of his work.
