= loss of NCB

RWD being fun is all very well until you stack it on a regular basis and realise you cant drive it anywhere on a typical wet/icy winter day. Where as 4wd you can drive it all weathers no problem.

Nearly lol,

When boost comes in though it does come in hard but it never feels uncontrolled at all, it still goes in a straight line ish, enter a corner and wind it up and it tends to try and swap ends

really?

i was at a rolling road at powerstation a few years back with cossie dave off here, he had a t4 on...

i think i fell asleep before it came on boost. and when it did it just span the wheels lol. his was an esc cos too lol.

i have driven an esc cos with a t4, simon secs' at allandow circuit.

thats the only car i have driven where you have the throttle pinned to the floor at corner entry, as by the time your round the corner it comes on boost lol.

takes a bit of getting used to!

good fun tho, as when they do come on boost, they go like fuckery

Dan you need driving lessons,you couldn't win rallys bitd waiting for a turbo to spool up so you need to left foot brake and keep the turbo on boost.
if you know how to do it you would be amazed how much quicker you would be going

i can do left foot braking,its not somthing i would do in someone elses car.

you know when you have seen rally cars and the brakes are glowing its because they are left footing it. i was just going to use a link to a famous rally driver who specialises in teaching left foot braking the finnish scandinavian way only just to find he died last week.

wounder!

so left foot braking, in a fwd car (or works van lol) you keep your foot in in the corners and use the brake to stop understeer no?

with a rwd car does it just keep the boost up and allow the rear end to swing out?

i find it stabilises the car and controls it.

i would say if you have ever tried a racing kart and accelerated and braked going round a corner you know the advantadges.

don't for fucks sake try it and have a bender
