I could watch this all day long Who wants to watch cars that handle like trains on rails?

In these times when production sports cars can record top speeds of 200 - 250 MPH why do we need processional F1 with "exciting" pitstops?

I car share with a lad with a 60 plate 5 cylinder, Ford motune mapped with exhaust and Bilstein suspension, it goes and handles very well without crashing and banging on our poor roads, night and day better than his previous standard type R on the same roads IMO

If you fit an engine pre 1991 then it can be tested at non cat pre 1991 limits.

someone might be up to something need extra security

I've no first hand experience, but have read good reviews from buyer that have caravans / motorhomes etc that are often out of sight in storage. "This is one of the best car theft prevention and vehicle protection system available today. With convenient SMS ability, full-range of alarm functions including gas to engine cut off, and the latest in GPS tracking technology, the G204 GPS Car Tracker is the ultimate safety device for your car, van, truck, or even the entire vehicle fleet. Track on Demand - Replies with a TXT message of current latitude, longitude, speed, and time, as well as an Internet map link to your cellphone to show you exactly where the GPS tracker/your vehicle is. Geo-fencing control - When the vehicle moves in/out the preset scope, it will send an SMS alarm to the authorized phone numbers. Movement and Speed Alert: The tracker can warm you with SMS message when the vehicle starts to move from a stationary status, or when the vehicle is moving faster than a preset speed. Stop the Engine: You can send an SMS message to the tracker to cut off the gas and battery power, so the engine will remain in an immobilized state until your remove the alarm status. GPRS: With a GPRS enabled SIM card, you can monitor real-time movement of your vehicle with the supplied software on your computer. So how does the GPS Car Tracker work? The unit is powered by automotive battery, and should be installed inside a vehicle . It runs on the latest GPS SiRF III chip-set, a sophisticated GPS microchip embedded into the heart of the tracker which continually reads its own location from low orbiting global satellites and then utilizes the GSM/GPRS infrastructure operated by your cellular network provider to transmit its current location to you. All you need to do is insert a working SIM card, it even has Quad-band Connectivity so it works anywhere in the world. The GPS Car Tracker makes no sound at all, so you are fully aware of what is happening to your car, but the inside driver and passenger don't know that their activity and locations are been constantly reported". -

Maybe he wants to buy it from you? -
How much has been spent on your Corrado over the past 10 years?
Dox replied to andygal's topic in General Car Chat
DBP VR6 owes me less than £2K The storm should be roadworthy for under £1500 Lots of parts hanging around yet to be fitted to either, but they may never get fitted so I haven't included them in the prices above. -
From memory the threads in the engine bay don't go all the way to the ends of the bolts? If so use mole grips on the unthreaded portions whilst you crack the nuts off.

New tax rules. Thinking of selling. Panic or not ??

The problem with that is people would get a multicar policy and fill your street with their crap -

Dox replied to feeenix14's topic in General Car Chat
Well I'm in this dilemma already, the vehicle is 200 miles away (and has a private plate and outstanding finance to add to the complexity of the sale), the simple solution would be to allow insurance companies to sell road tax so a call to your ins co to add the vehicle to your policy and tax at the same time, too simple for the law makers / MPs I suppose.................................. -
You can bypass it with plumbers copper fittings, just wear a coat in the car

If its a real storm there's a lad here who keeps records of there whereabouts and owners, his name escapes me atm Start a thread with the reg number and storm in the title would be my advice

The link's not working for me

But if they buyer were to be involved in an accident or violation on the way home where would he stand? He has no tax, you cant sell it and you wont quite rightly post date the V5. The only way around it is that the seller delivers the car after the buyer views and pays a deposit for the car? As always ill-conceived and only affects the law abiding.... They couldn't run a bath let alone the country -
Well enough of these cars need uprated headlamp looms due to voltage drop, I suspect the engine and ABS looms suffer exactly the same in this respect. If it was mine I'd clear the codes, disconnect the battery for a few hours before a varied drive stopping and starting the engine several times before rescanning without interfering with anything. You'll create a "ghost code" every time you unplug something whilst the engine is running throwing you off the scent. Check for a spark at all 6 plugs and a compression test would be a good move too
-
Have you checked the condition of the various plugs on the engine loom?

The callipers and carriers could also be used to upgrade a 4 stud 256mm car to 280mm using G60 disks. Bargain at £30 GLWS

That's good advice for anyone selling a used car. -

Dox replied to feeenix14's topic in General Car Chat
So as a seller would you be willing to post date the V5? What about if the buyer then runs a red light or gets a speeding ticket (it happened to Mr Lobitos shortly after the sale). If its non transferable then you're driving illegally and should the worst happen what then?
