Sorry if this has been covered before but couldnt find it in search........can someone please clear this small question up for me - is there any difference (engine wise) between VR's with red and VR's with Silver badges :scratch: Thanks

Brilliant thanks :notworthy: I will take a closer look over the weekend and decide if a new one is required.

when yours was broken did you have above issues ?

have you checked your throttle dash pot ? is it slack ?

Hi everyone, Can anyone tell me what the above does.....My'n seems to be very loose and I'm thinking it might be the cause of a small issue - when taking my foot off the accelerator pedal at relatively low speeds the car seems to jult slightly - this is starting to get on my nerves :brickwall: and I was wondering if I changed my Dash Pot it might solve it. Any thoughts ? Thanks

Well, after all my loud mouth bigging up of Massa before the season kicked off I'm kind of obliged to. :lol: Also I know that come Spain everyone will have 15 diffusers on their car and Massa will start winning again! :D Yeah exactly. Im waiting for everyone else to catch up car wise and it'll be interesting to see if Brawn stay at the front.[/quote:k5h56tqs] I think that its great for the time being but unfortunately it isnt going to last......the big players just need a few more races and the usual suspects will be at the front again !! Didnt Honda start developing this car at the begining of last season once they realised their '08 car was do-do brown.....thats a big head start :wink:

Also was travelling down the A3 the other day and a Megane 225 F1 Renault Formula R26.R Sport GT thingy flew past me at three figure speeds :shock: !! Those things are bloody fast aswell

Lady in XKR blew me away at the lights the other day......she was worth it though :ignore:

:lol: ....I hope he is better at it than driving !!

Agreed, pre season testing times are a load of rubbish.....you never know what the teams are testing in each session which completely makes the results irrelevant. Despite all the changes the usual suspects will be at the front come race 2 or 3, and Button will still not be good enough :lol:

Just added my second team........I feel pretty confident now !! all bases covered :tongue:

.....what I'm not having that kind of cheating.......the competition begins :lol: :lol: ok comment retracted, just seen Corradude has added it in the rules :D !!

.....what I'm not having that kind of cheating.......the competition begins :lol: :lol:

cool signed up, I think i've done it right :D

.....at what stage did they pull your pants down :shock: !!

....well up untill at least three months ago VW were willing to rob me £55 for one, so would be surprised if they have run out of them with these kinds of profit margins :wink:

.....makes you think these car manufactueres planned it :wink:.....the harder it gets for you or I to work on these cars the easier it is to justify stupidly expensive dealer mechanics !!

.....yeah I have heard of Tuning Werkes but never taken my cars there, my biggest pet hate with most garages is their inability to just pick up the sodding phone and tell you whats going on, so I can sympathise. Yeah the biggest difficulty with the Phirm, for us at least, is the journey but worth it IMO.

....yeah The Phirm hourly rate is far more reasonable, just out of interest where do you take yours ?

click on Phil K's generous link :salute:

Yup was down there last week.....think we should be getting some freebies from Tim considering all this free advertising :D

I think it was you Phil K that recommended The Phirm to me as I asked exactly the same question couple of years ago :lol:

I know this is a crazy thing to say but you will be lucky !! Every experience I've had of London garages has been piss poor :censored: , hence why I now have a 70mile round trip to The Phirm in guildford.....so if your willing to travel then you wont go wrong taking your car there.

Looking good mate, love silver C's......was down at the phirm the other week actually and you got mentioned in conversation with Tim.....how you finding the supercharger......worth it, or is that a silly question :lol: ? Serioulsy thinking of doing it to mine over the summer.

.....talcum powder, thats an interesting idea never though of that....the rattles coming from mine over the past six months drivers me insane :censored: !! does it work well ?
