    Oh once Phil comes along with his track car all ready I'm pretty sure I'll be destroyed. Plus my tyres are getting pretty worn now hehe

    I dunno - I reckon if it's wet next weekend all your electronic cheating might keep you on top.

    What electronic cheating , only thing I keep on (because if I turn it off, I loose my 'electronic lsd') is ABS. No stability or traction control at all!

    Whatever you reckon, buddy. We've all seen that rear left wheel getting braked by your gadgetry as you corner!

    Pretty sure. Unless you're tapping the brakes as you hit the apex of the turn (which you shouldn't be).

    Wouldn't be surprised if I was, I have a quick car, not quick feet hehe. Have to keep a eye on it next weekend.

    So I wont be the only one with electronic cheatery then?

    Just had a look at one of the external vids I got, from what I could see round corners, it would tripod and the wheel all but stopped moving, but its hopping up and down just on the limit so it looks a bit like I'm either braking or the cars doing something. With my new super firm sways (seriously, they are like 5-6 times heavier then the old ones) it should either be flat on the ground or up in the air now

    If you have a stiffer front swaybar then that should stop it "cocking a leg" around corners

    Last night's forecast for Sunday was fine but cool weather.

    I'm test driving a new 86 on Wednesday, but I'd say my changes of buying one at the moment are less than even :-(

    I leave all my "technology aids" on in the TA22 :-)

    I have new front and rear sways on, big fk off 24mm adjustable solid bars weigh a ton.

    I cracked the shits when I found out a new 86 costs as much as my Golf did, but oh well, just couldnt wait.

    I thought a Golf GTI was more expensive, at least over the entry 86? GTS Option Pack is probably up there though.

    My GTI was a year old when I got it so it equaled a GTS (which is what I would of gotten) in price.
