All good if it works for you.

Evo has some the best production of any online video auto magazine and this video represents that statement at its best. Fitting as this is ECOTY 2015.

Grab a coffee, a quiet space and the best screen you can lay your eyes on. As an enthusiast I hope you enjoy this as much as I did and you find it to be one of the best spent thirty minutes online this year

I did my full license way back in 2000 in my 1986 944. Almost failed for not overtaking a truck at the end of a passing lane :/

E-mail from Jim Barclay about car numbers for the event -- you may not have got the e-mail because you already have a number.

PSS10 will be an improvement but the GT3 already has a cilover system in place.

As Graeme W knows these guys are one of the best in the business setting up these cars for fast road/tarmac rally work and this is a system that is tried and tested on GT3 including the latest WRC rally examples. Budget around 12-15K plus mechanic time at the track and road to set them up. very nice system

Yup best in the business but the top of the line system is more like 25K or maybe more - haven't priced it in a while but fx will be less favourable. but that is practically WRC technology. Gavin Riches ran this system on his 997RS 'cup' rally car on Targa NZ 2014

All other things accounted for if starting again in a good car I think it is definitely worthwhile going to a remote reservoir system. 3 way. High speed bump doesn't change much so can pretty much leave that. This stops bottoming out on a high speed big hit like an unseen rut or big curb. So then adjustment is mainly on low speed bump and rebound. remote canister allows more oil/gas and less change in behavior from heat under heavy and prolonged use.

Pic from Targa Rotorua 2009 in my old v7 - I don't charge over crests like this anymore....
