PhatVR6 0 Posted June 21, 2004 Just about clipped the limiter in 6th, well, it was stuttering as if it was getting there anyway. rev counter just into the red, speedo reading 156mph, vid coming soon! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhatVR6 0 Posted June 21, 2004 yeah, rear knock sensor connector wasn't plugged in properly, and kept coming loose, that was it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted June 21, 2004 I locked up at 100mph, nearly stuffed it into the back of a van! oops! then the steering went funny a few miles later, pulled over and found out both front wishbone bolts were loose! need longer bolts now I have the Weichers strut brace under there.

aposegil 0 Posted June 21, 2004 well its nice to see that you took a nice calm and collective drive lol ;) :lol: how was the weekend in general? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted June 21, 2004 mental. I've had about 7 hours sleep since thursday, and I'm still p1ssed out of my head! (I drank a bottle of whisky last night...a 1 litre one!! then entertained myself in the piano lounge, and I can't even play!) my mate had to take my car off me and drive me to work because I was in such a state this morning...and still am in fact. some awesome cars out there though, pics coming soon. just need to work out what 6600rpm really is with my gearing and tyres. I reckon that's a real 150mph, it'd have gone off the clock if I'd had a better chip so I could have revved further. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhatVR6 0 Posted June 21, 2004 UK shows are utter w4nk compared to the euro ones. I thoroughly reccomend you attend at least one a year. We're going to do woethersee next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aposegil 0 Posted June 21, 2004 i know what u mean and not to sound big headed but you always get a good reception over in europe when they see uk cars hence why i really really want to get my car over there to see their reactions lol :lol: oh well anyone want to work for free lol ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted June 21, 2004 yeah, they are really friendly......but some are just TOO friendly, and you can't get rid of the f*ckers. tha standard of the cars just has to be seen to be believed though, incredible. how about leather carpets, gold plated brake lines and carbon dashboards!

PhatVR6 0 Posted June 21, 2004 thanks, I'll see how big the file is and mail you it. it'll be an AVI, so probably huge. does anyone have any software to convert it to an mpeg and shorten it a little too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted June 21, 2004 I potentially have some webspace I could offer up for hosting this.. I could also look at converting it into WMV or something which would compress it nicely. (doh - didn't see chris CORRADO's post above yours Phat.. email me if you need space if Chris can't accomodate for whatever reason!) :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
