Starting to get to the point where the numbers are meaningless! Lowest i've experienced is -29 on exercise in Norway, never quite cracked -30, D'Oh! He's using Farenheit surely? My car, someone's been using the spoiler as a snowball shelf.

i wouldn't get her a corrado as a first car. something more practical and more modern with better safety and some airbags would do better. -
bastards! :mad2: that's just cack, especially at your office. could have even been a careless courier with a heavy load of something.

Vortech V9-F, bought second hand from a member on here. he only did a few thousand miles before his engine (rebuilt by himself iirc) went bang and he went 24v. he sold me charger, belts, pipes, mapped ecu and injectors for about 1500 quid i think. it is a diy job, but i have ham fists and preferred to let the professionals handle it. so you're looking about 1800 with a remap, compared to the stage one turbot kits for about £3k and i don't think that includes a remap either. i also added on a low temp stat, uprated front engine mount and mocal oil cooler at the time too. but you'd need those with a turbo anyway. oh and Schimmel 263 cams. you can run stage 2 (8 psi) all day long and the engine will not complain as long you have good fans for sitting in traffic, as the charger chucks out a fair amount of heat!

Hold on to that one dude! :D
-
Yup! ran that for about a year before adding the zorst and water cooling. much cheaper than going turbot being as its half/two thirds the price and a lot less work.

Gaining significant power from a VR won't be cheap. :D Haven't you a had a load of problems with your Raceland mani Gaz? I have a V9 Stage 2, 440 injectors, mapped at 292. With water injection and decat exhaust and no new map its pushing out 305. You can strap a charger straight on with only uprated injectors and a remap as long as you don't go over 8 psi.

Yeah i heard. Ban was over turned or something. It says he and simmons got compensation... so are they both deemed to be innocent or what? Dunno, but it kind of defeats the whole purpose of the FIA punishing people if it can be overturned by a government. They cheated. They should be banned. End of.

FORZA 3: Week night Marathon (FIRST POST UPDATED)
The_Dude replied to Alex_G60_Fanatic's topic in General Car Chat
oh my god that is funny. :salute: imagine if that happened in a real race...."i'm coming into the pits, my pie must be ready by now!" -
The UK is the sh*t indeed, London kicks major butt. Where abouts you staying? As for the scoop...its a touch large but I reckon once painted will look better.
-
The driver looks a bit annoyed though!
-
no probs matey, for a moment i thought you wanted it wrapped in penguin or something. :lol:
-
wtf is ancartica? :scratch: Do you mean Alcantara?
-
and here was me expecting a pic of your shiny ass. this is one of the times i'm glad my expectations were not met. :D i take it your partner has not driven the car then, just seen it in pieces?
-
I dunno, I think they're a bit 90's euro. I know that's when our cars were made, but they do look dated if you catch my drift. oh and btw - descent is going down, decent is good. still, your english is better than my swedish. :wink:

New series of TOP GEAR Sundays. Series Comments
The_Dude replied to The_Dude's topic in General Car Chat
Quite a good episode I thought, an honourable finish to the series. I really liked the Sin City effects they used on Hammond's segment. I thought they must have a few bob to spare, and was proved right with Clarkson jetting off everywhere! That Lexus was awesome, but like they pointed out, who's going to buy a 200k+ supercar that is a Lexus? You could buy 2 or 3 supercars with more street cred (which is what supercars are mainly about these days) for that kind of wonga. :lol: @ "Brain" Johnson's hockey trophy. -
give Millerman a shout, he runs a courier company.
