and about 10 grand for insurance
, If i had enaught money for a newer model golf i would go japanese and get somthing with AWD or RWD.
I got the corsa back, Same track, a long downhill road just outside of hearts through the countryside.
Started off side by side, His cheap tires loosing him grip (as usal), Hes on wolf race 17s (heavy) and stock suspention (loads of roll), It was pritty damp tonight so i had him off the line, About 150 meters ahead of the starting line is the first corner, Nothing too heavy, I was able to hold an inside line without loosing the arse off the car, I found tapping the break before the corner helps to shift weight onto all 4 wheels and keeps your grip up, The corsa however kept sliding its arse round every corner, Which as we all know on a Front wheel drive car will only slow you down,
After that it was just a case of keeping infront of him, Taking inside lines and holding speed out of the bends, On the final straight where he got me last time however he almost got me again, This time it went a little smoother, Theres a hair pin bend just before it, Instead of sliding the cars arse out with the hand break and trying to keep the outside line i breaked heavly into the bend and crept the left side of the car just over the white line at the edge of the road, Kept the inside line then let the car correct its self with a little under steer on the way out, This ment i dipped inside and kept it there all the way round before the car leaped out, cutting up the corsa who had enterd the corner first and was sliding its arse out on the outside line, Came out the bend at about 30-40 while he came out in a very low gear (guessing 1st or second from the sounds of his revs) and must of been around 15-20MPH, He also started wheel spinning while accelerating, Just after we got to the finishing point he flew past me, I won by about 2 car lenghts
My ?150 is going straight into the "But Fielder a Mk2 8V 3 door in september Fund"
Yes ive decided. Im taking the leap to a 8V
