davebirl 0 Posted May 30, 2006 @Jay - I think those rims kick ass mate. Keep 'em I say. :) @Jim - Don't you be knocking 301's till you get urself another C either! he he he Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted May 30, 2006 Getting my new C on Sunday mate ;) Nothing personal about the 301's.. I know they are a popular wheel and I understand why but i've just never really liked em.. I think wheels are a very personal thing though! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davebirl 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Nice one Jim, What model you go for this time round? Of course wheels are a personal thing, I get loads of stick from the guys at work that the 301's look too "old" fashioned.... eek! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris VR6nos 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Where's this video? Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted May 31, 2006 I have not had chance to pull it off the video camera yet. Will do it tonight. To be honest its not the best video as my mate was struggling to zoom in on the clocks! ;) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Yip, i remember how hard it was to do that in G's R32 that day on the autobahn doing 155 i think, it was so dificult to steady the camera. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Yeah I remember that last year. You can hear Nick say "160.. OFF THE CLOCK" then he tries to focus on the speedo and you can just see it past the end of the dial. Will capture it off the camera as soon as I get home. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ardandy 0 Posted May 31, 2006 So 160 on the clocks prob nearer 150 on the satnav? Or did you have gps in there? Bloody quick either way! Should have told him to get out for that extra 5mph! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Right its uploaded here. http://www.coupehaus.co.uk/download_page.html Look for Jays Corrado 24v and then the 165MPH vid. Well we did a comparison as I had no idea what my speedo was reading (MK4 clocks, VR6 box, 17" wheels with little tyres) and at 120MPH on my mates GPS, my car was doing 118MPH. So I reckon 165MPH is about 160MPH in reality. Fast enough :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted May 31, 2006 lol - just to make you smile Jay, was just posting on a techie forum and talking about Corrado's and this guy has just randomly came out with "I really liked Jay Renshaws Corrado in PVW Magazine!" - your car, it seems, is admired across the land mate by car enthusiasts and IT geeks alike! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 24v 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Cool mate 8) Had mine doing a very similar things the other day ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted May 31, 2006 To be honest I would never even get close to doing it over here, value my license too much. I was glad to get the chance to do it legally over there and know what it can do. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted May 31, 2006 funny thing is, at 165mph you're not over taking the other cars 'that' quickly (or it doesnt look that way in the video). Does everyone on the autobahn just floor it? I guess I would if i lived there! Nice work all the same, glad to see you enjoying it! "get in! off the clock!" :lol: :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted May 31, 2006 doing them sort of speeds only has me frantically recalling in my head whether I had tightened all those bolts properly :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

24V Renshaw 0 Posted June 1, 2006 I found it quite comfortable at those speeds to be honest and my mate Nick said it was nice as a passenger. As soon as I hit 165 I had to back off for the cars I was catching, although they are probably doing 100 themselves :) jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
