I got free mats and free gold badges:bounce:

I'm not a lawyer but I can put together an appropriate letter for you - let me know:bounce:

Yeah me too Andy - that's why I thought I'd invite them to join us!!:tumble::tumble:

Please join our club rather than just "lurk" - there's no charge and we're really friendly (honest!!).

It'd be great to know who you all are!!

I was doing a tidy up and found this - someone was asking about it so I bumped it.:bounce:

Spencer cos he's a weasel:bounce:

Or dave - come one round weekend when it's sunny and I'll help you fit them!:bounce:

Hi Dave

The guys made some mounts up, I assume out of MDF - I didn't see what they did but plan to take a door cover off at the weekend and have a look. If you want to - you could use my mounts as templates.

The wiring etc is a piece of p**s.

You're not far away I think (I'm in Brackley) - happy to show you next time you're up this way - and I'll take some pics at the weekend.

Cheers

Rod

Thanks Zee - be glad to mate!:bounce:

Had the speakers upgraded on my GS3-2 today. The guys managed to get 6.5inch speakers in the doors - got the following:-

MBQ DWC160 woofers in the front doors

MBQ RTC19 tweeters (set to -6dB)

MBQ DXD216 crossovers

Kicker I600s in the back doors

Result is a much more pure sound that is totally "immersive" - very pleased!!

I should think that black pearl would look good on grey Vic?:bounce:

keep power on..........power out

Yup - do all your braking with the steering as straight as possible - this moves the centre of gravity to the front of the car so that when you start to steer you've got extra weight over the front wheels. Do most of your steering at a constant speed to keep the weight there and then hit the gas hard as you start to straighten up again.

Big bit of advice - try to get your speed right before you enter a corner - if you bottle it and let off the gas during the bend you shift the weight back towards the rear of the car - which means that the wheels doing the steering lose traction, and chances are you'll lose it.

Good reason to join Gold and come on our track day!! - you can practice all you want without worrying about ditching it or hitting a tree!!:bounce:

One of the keys to safe fast cornering in a RWD is to keep the power on through the turn and accelerate as you leave the turn - prolly needs a bit more planning ahead than a FWD. When you accelerate / brake, you're moving the centre of gravity around and that affects the handling.

Try entering a corner artifically slow and booting it hard as you leave the apex - you'll see what I mean.:bounce:

Yeah - but I don't wanna vote for Sandy cos us old ****have got to sitck together:lol:

Apparently Madhe insited that NO taxpayers' money whatsoever went on the bash - all the dosh was raised by sponsorship money (about £5 million I think).:wow:

Hiya backache - welcome to TL.

Don't forget that you're driving a rear-wheel drive now (the IS is a rear wheel drive isn't it??) - it's all gonna feel a little different until you get used to it.
