Weeeol, it was quite close.........that was.........until he pressed his accelerator pedal. OH DEAR. That car makes mine look like a 1.0 litre Panda on the motorway. I was flat out in third, full throttle change to fourth and i move over just as my mate sails past not even breaking a sweat...

Im a member!!!! at last..... :oops: (after a good years trail period)

any of you guys there tonight? it was ok, but not many nice cars really. Just the usual bunch, black supra, white evos, 12,000 saxos, 15,000,000 novas, 10,000 corsas and 9000 sor-ted Oroiyuns (with neons). oh and a v.fast Tipo turbo gol dang it!!! hehe

An off the lights job this one - wow, it was quick! we were evens maybe him getting about third a car in front of me with his better start, but oh dear it was quick! is there such a thing as a Fiat Tipo Turbo? because this was a Fiat Tipo with a turbo! and it was VERY quick! anyway, onto the...

Heres a 0-110 test toast of me going for a quick blast down an airfield. I timed it at around 16-17 secs, so not too bad.... http://members.lycos.co.uk/scrubberx2319/pics/airfield%200-110.AVIhttp://members.lycos.co.uk/scrubberx2319/pics/airfield%200-110.AVI

Ive been thinking about this for a while. Why were some 172 (for example) getting like 120 bhp at the wheels and others 152 bhp at the wheels? Thats a really big difference, and there should be a simple explanation. Well, i was thinking of possible reasons to why they were "underpowered"...

Just sifting through my old mags and found a rather agreeable one as most mk.1 172 owners will, agree!:) Its within the article of a "battle" between mk.1 172, 206 gti, proton gti and ford puma. Its an auto express one and the times are as follows: 0-60 - 6.5 :) 30-70 thru gears - 5.8 30-50...

I hate my new rear tyres!!! oh no. What have i done? ive gone and bought a pair of boat-makers that have literally made my car into a boat. There a bridge where you go under to enter a chicane near my house and on the old michelins i could nail the throttle in 2nd and come out the other side...

Kiss my face! or should it be, kiss my exhaust!!? because after you decided to rush up behind me when that car was in front and it moved away, how many car lengths did i put between us? its so pleasing to watch exotica disappear in your rear view! admittingly, they are only 120 bhp 1.8s...

...........by a BMW Z3 3.0 with 225 bhp and 214 lb/ft capable of 5.9 to 60. Not only that, but the woman driving did it twice!!! arrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!! Not to be messed with from the line those things. RWD vs FWD i now know the result! especially when the other cars got that kinda power..........

Ive just had some new good year eagle F1s put on all round at micheldevers and the pressures are at 2.3 front and 2.1 bar backs. The cars done 60+ miles since i had them fitted and it feels VERY boaty - almost like it did when i had the flat tyre the other day!!? Do they need bedding in...

Driving home late from my girlfriends house tonight. Cars driving normally - then suddenly press the accelerator, car slows down (has someone installed an irish ecu?), eventually i pull over as it wont rev and it eventually cuts out, all lights on the dash illuminate. Anyway, i start it and it...

Just taken delivery of our new Golf GTi turbo diesel 150 bhp 236 lb/ft and had my first drive of it today. Drove for about 80+ miles carting the folks around the country side. I directly compared it to the Gti 1.8T petrol version that my dad used to have as we delivered that back today...

Ive embarrasingly checked and noticed ive been driving around with really low pressures (around 1 bar lower than they should be!) and after pumping them up to 2.1 and 2.3 bar, rear and fronts respectively, the cars road holding and "adjustability" (if thats the right word) has been greatly...

I was going around the devils boat hole and there was this black BMW convertible -looked like a 330 ci or something, with the big front bumper and round lights. And in front of both of us was a Cooper-S (talk about "this is gonna be a good blast!") Anyway, the road goes from 1 lane into 2 and...

OK........whose girlfriend/boyfriend has the best car? and what is her/his driving style like? My girlfriend drives a: Polo 1.3 and its quite nippy (!?) but very boaty! Its standard but im going to give her my old JVC stereo when i find it... She managed to catch up with me when i was...

Ill start the ball rolling Drove to and from uni covering: 27 miles (Im bored, can you tell?)

"And the race I had with the clio cup started with me behind him at the lights. I overtook him in 2nd gear once the lights went green. Is this worth the waste of my petrol?? But clio owners just dont accept the Civic Powe-r. Do you fair against WRXs as well mate?? The CTR is quicker then a...

Twas tonight; hairpin slip road onto Air3strip 2nd gear upwards, he wasnt getting away, i massively screwed up my 3rd gear change and still kept up easily. Wish id got it on cam. They certainly do look nice tho. Dont think he was thrilled that id stayed with him, i flashed my lowers a few...

Just got a bit bored today and am messing around testing the free hosting thing. Took some pics using my DV CAM for a test and uploaded them. Heres my car on its driveway: Its like "Clioville", our new neighbours got a new one too!

Cleaned my car today and it feels really fast! I guess all that dirt must have been causing excess drag. Good mod guys, get scrubbing!!!

A good friend of mines Rover 200 was involved in a little lift off over-steer incident and its needed a new front bumper, 2 new alloys and rear hub. Its been at the garage for over 2 months waiting for parts, to which Rover have been as always very slow with making(?!!) Anyway, he gets a call...

After being slayed many times by my 172 hes decided he wants something thatl keep up ;). Can anyone advise as to where is the best place to buy them from and how much you paid and whether insurance is different to normal 172s? and also - can you get ABS fitted as an option?(!! ;))

Girlracer - it sounds like you take pride in washing your car. Its strangely addictive isnt it? I used to work (summer job) at a subaru /peugeot/sangyong/isuzu dealership and apart from delivering the cars i had to wash them. Its actually quite good fun and addictive!-especially when youve got...

How easy is it to remove? I never use it and when its "hot", i still never use it!

Well it finally happened. The race id been waiting for: After leaving uni following a late night rehearsal i joined the dual carriageway and what was just coming past, but yes, a CTR! so off i go - stupidly thrashing a very cold engine (ouch!) anyway, i had to give chase as he was going for...

Overtaking a boat that was acclerating southbound on the A3 near the little chef and at around 85 mph i see a police van - oh no, its that speed trap that was there the other day! bngger! anyway, it was a large police van with flaps open and two cameras in the back pointing out. Before the van...
