Erm ABS lets you steer and brake at the same point. In the ice and snow, manual braking is better, in fact in the conditions i were in yesterday my ABS didnt work full stop.

Theres too much discussion of power, a lot of people in this forum give too much importance/empahsis on straightline performance. The point of the ralleye was its handling, something it was very very good at.

Certainly do, i dont particpate though, dont fancy getting a ticket off a fed, or replacing my tyres. I dont seek the attention either ;)

lol i dont recommend just rummaging around with the the wires, why do you want it off?

I was going to say that..still some impressive speeds. Simon and wongy, how modified are you cars, 142+ sounds a tad optimistic..

Id take the mk2, bit funkier, nice interior too :)

Hold on, ABS wouldnt help, it doesnt stop you from skidding. I agree with 172cup, left foot braking is useful, and make sure you pump the pedal, dont stamp on it like you would in an ABS car. Dont put too much pressure on it either. The best thing to do in this kind of weather is to be in...

I can

well probably something do with you not being able to see the back when youre driving, it will be caused on the overrun so have a look in your rear view mirror then

Or more importantly, who cares! Ben, what do they sound like? :devilish:

lol, wont that void ur warranty if you f**k it up? Lets hope we dont here an explosion..

lol

Well flames are caused by unburnt fuel touching the hot exhaust pipe causing it to obviously set alight. Dont know bout the pops, must be f**kin sweet though

kiss my hairy ass lol

Youre not trying hard enough! Try flicking one way to transfer weight and then another, or do it in gravel, or a cricket pitch like i do! Nice and slippy! Bexley Cricket ground is the best, its like a bowl shape so the water collects, makes the grass wet, you can do hooge handbrake turns :D

lol! Trust me, you already can.

Good good..well wait for someone to say then

You can get a brand new car supermarket 172 for £11,495

lol i should come and see. My nice boss (my dad lol) is letting us go at 4:45 instead of 5:30 so we can avoid traffic, thank god. Its my mates birthday today so im going to spray his nova with water when i get back so it freezes the doors up :devilish:

Yeah worth a shot Directline are supposed to be the best (cheapest) for unmodified cars. Renault use them for the free insurance i think.

i didnt see yours out the front by the way, where do you park? Theres a nice new SL out the front though, sweet!

Erm no were not lucky, i work opposite rockport, it aint ur tyres mate, its everyones! 2 be quite honest i was scared sh*tless this mornin. You know the roundabout going towards wilmington? I tried going left down past your building but i missed the turning as i slid sideways whilst changing...

Because they have standard chips to sort out flat spots and the like, for a standard car. Yours aint, so its customised, so theyre going to charge more arent they!

Im looking for a clever chap to tell me how hard it would be change suspension, anti roll bars..you know everything chassis wise from the 172 on to my run of the mill 1.2? Can it be done..if so..what do i need component wise? I was thinking i could start with the 172 springs and dampers so my...

Same here. I dont live to far from heathrow, and if it carries on like this it will be a damn long journey!
