Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project swine flu?

£70k for a motorbike with 4 wheels!?! f**k that ;)

How was the X-bow? would it compare to the likes of caterham etc as its around £30k IIRC...

Details sugar? I missed out on the NW entertainment for FCS :(

Make the CS Tent VIP, Staff only and then hire some models for the VIP Tent? I'm also happy with wigs, although I'll have to find one big enough to fit over my dreads...

the recirculating DVs still make a 'woosh' sound but aren't as loud as dump valves. The loud 'flutter' sound is normally and external wastegate, the quiet flutter is the internal wastegate built onto the actuator IIRC. The 'lag' will happen off boost (ie below 2.5k) with or without a BOV, a...

my cars not low enough to do pipe/bat between the tyre and arch I dont think, although the is a plan..

Did you fit anything in a similar fashion to FCS? I have a picture somewhere of your car jacked up, some parts on the floor and a bottle of vodka at the centre....

Or atleast could some-one give me an idea of how to do it without using a grinder/welder or making a mess lol.

Does any-one on here have an arch roller? I need mine rolling but dont have any moneys, and would prefer not to used a hammer :D

DDTK9IjKIYU ;)

Have a look for Origin Aerokit they look ace. I was hoping you'd do something very you tbh, a lot of JDM goodness on SXOC it'd be good to see what else could work on one ;)

I'm interested to see what you'll do to it mate. They are plenty quick enough standard so 300hp will be a step-up from a 206 ;) I prefer the S13 obviously, but Im sure you'll manage to do something different with the S14. Is it a 14a?

oooo good choice sir. I might have to have a look at that, get it to a NW meet!

I'd say do a valver or a ph2, not a ph1 again theres not much more you could do better than your last one.

Surprisingly predictable to be honest. I've said it before but for an old car with crap tyres and soft suspension its not a million miles behind my 197 was for handling. Without a doubt it breaks away sooner than the 197 did but its every bit as controllable as the 197 was, eg the other day I...

Change of plan, new wheels ordered. One of only 3 sets in coming into the country at the moment and they should be with me mid to late august for varying reasons (mostly my own fault tbh). I'll leave you with the suspense of guessing (or not) and will not confirm a damn thing until I have pics...

ask him for the link? That'd be pretty handy, like i said the overfenders arent cheap!

Also, can anyone recommend a garage to fit tyres with stretch in the NW please. Is wheelbase any good for this? Euro guys?

Hi, my current wheels are 15s, 7inch wide on ET37 offset. My new wheels are going to be 17s, 9.5inch wide on ET-19 offset. I've got quite a bit of clearance from wheel to arch, so the 17 diameter wont be a problem, but the offset means the wheels will be stuck out by an extra 56mm and they...

your seat was taller than you :o;)

awesome, do they need extra licenses to run over europe/abroad etc? Also do you need any drivers ;)

lol, you didn't hear the fecking horn when I blasted it though ;) I saw an RB clio with white wheels and no driver until I stuck my head out of the window to look... Naith you missed out the other night, on the way home I had a play with an audi R8 :D them things are quick!

yay the S13 made it into the picture thread haha. Good turnout guys, good meet. I'm a bit gutted I didn't stick around but it seemed every-one was going for food and I had a couple of bits and bobs to do. We'll have to do a run out sometime soon aswell ;)

They're both the standard exhaust, just for some reason ukaskew's doesn't have the chrome trim

fair enough, for £130 you cant complain really. I had got mine sideways a fair few times on the skinny tyres so when I had wider wheels on it just worked a lot better for me. The rear seats folded down the amount of stuff you can chuck in one is amazing for such a small car, but yeah you can...

I know, but schumacher is probably one of the best drivers in the world I doubt that many manufacturers send F1 champions to top gear ;)

tbh it shouldn't be there anyway, I reckon it was schumi driving it around the track and the difference between schumi and 'the stig' alone would put it above the other times (imo). Also the back end looks a bit Maserati MC12 a wee bit...

Haha! hmmm you know I think fluorescent yellow could look pretty good.

They dont look smoked, they look like black lexus lights. Smoked:
