  1. the guy with the long hair in the programe sucks at tellin jokes and dont know crap about cars,i love the early days when tiff and jeremy were together,much more tech talking and batter tests back then,now they just want publicity more than caring about the tests they do on the cars.


  2. the new sti wrx making crazy power in exess of 300bhp,now that is awsome considering a 2.5l engine is used so less turbo lag. Wonder how much you can tune that thing :shock: . The jap car market is so huge as long as you have a big ass wallet. These machines like the new sti evo8 are lethal and can consume most cars on the street in their price range. Later on i wanna taste bit of evo or sti


  3. yea life aint safe these days,imagine living in london tho,in some of the tough areas like tottnham,hacney brixton ect. You gotta have your entourage when you drive down the street. Some guy got robed not long ago in tottnham of his new m3,2 ppl got in the car as he was passing by threatend him to gun point drove him to an industrial area beat the hell out of him and left with the car. probably next day that car is in the lorry making its way out of the country. Some other guy got his Rolex stolen as he was siting in his Benltey waiting in traffic.


  4. last nite after the club the races was on as always,i was tempted,i raced a mitsubishi fto 2l 16v and i killed him and i was only reving up to 4k rpm :D ,after driving a diesel for a few weeks and u get back in the G u get a big smile and loads of adrenline


  5. Ture also balancing the crank helped alot to smooth reving,the bottom end i got now is not my original,this block had originally 60k on it so i pressure the bores were better than my old block and new rings and help further,i gotta take it easy for about another 1-2k to run everything in and lossen them up nicley,i took it up to 4k the other night though :D .


  6. Just got my car back with a new fresh bottom end rebuild,fully balanced crank and rods,new seals and shells,new oil pump core plugs seals ect and the usual service,just taking it easy to run the car in but hell she pulls so smoothley,no shaking or vibration gears move smoothly and picks up nicley, and strangley i see the boost build up faster :? which i cant make up. Taking it for a easy drive to run it in and them have some peasure driving her :D


  7. uh and just found thats with 19 psi of boost but can be tweked up to 30psi of boost :shock: :shock: i guess the 4 valves per cylinder work really well with a couple of kk's turbos,we talking supercar performance here as it goes head to head with Ferrari Enzo. Simply amazing for a V dub to get up there with the big boys!! :D

  9. might be your valve hydraulic lifters mate. To test if u have lifters you have to switch the car on,have someone rev it to 2500 and take off plug 1 and see if any change in noise than put it back on then do the same with plug number 2,3 and 4. if the noise goes away when you move any of the plugs than its your head lifters or valves. If no change in noise is heard check your cat shieldor worst could be your bottom end,crank shells or something. Better take it to a good mech before u brake something big like i did!


  10. yae that thing must really move,say 16 psi for each charger he has at least 32psi which of course would be less on a 16v head,imagine the pipe work lol but traction would suck with all that tourqe from low revs in such a light car.


  11. mate fibreglass its not as bad as you think,they are fragile but very light. End of the day if u hit something with your front u will damage it being fibreglass or plastic. Fibreglass can be repaired and be as good as new. Its bit tricky to fit though as you need to make 2 metal plates to support the front area of the bumper from the inside. On the sides you can use 2 exsisting holes. rs fibreglass bumpers give u most space for front intercoolers,but once you start doing custom work that cant use parts off the shelf u will struggle,it can be done tho. gud luck 8)
