Spooky! Nics 182 has be doing this for a while...sounds really bad and the car jolts a bit when doing it. I live on a really sttep hill and when pulling out onto the street for a parking space it seems to slip then grip when on full lock...at least we know what it is now! Chris

Very nice....bit slow from me lol Chris

I'm pretty sure that the busa one is a fake...I'm sure I read somewhere that the speedo had been messed with. Shame as the vid is amazing but just look at the road and how slow everything is passing by...especially the junction at about 40 secs. Chris

Daft question but a driver at my works once put petrol in a wagon by mistake and that made loads of smoke...... Chris

Amazing motor....the one I saw was like that but looked to be on coilys and serious camber...black wheels with silver lip and ring sticker...looked amazing! Chris

The TT Clio or the Audi TT? Matts clio just needed some more mapping and a few other bits to get it sorted...pretty sure Norm sorted the starting issues. The Scirrocco I mentioned has had a lot less problems using the same engine (unbelievably uses a standard golf diesel gearbox!) but when you...

Just read most of this before I realised lol.....one thing I don't get....the guy who says his m8' golf rallye gets 10.2 1/4 with less than 400bhp....I doubt that seeing as Jordys Scirrocco get thats with 500bhp and a 2.5 0-60 Chris

Compared to 888 they probably are better in the wet but I'm pretty sure that (looking at most other peoples comments on here and on the net) they aren't great...challenging is fine for the people who want to be challenged but I bet most people would rather just blast round in relative safety...

I got some paradas and tried them at the RS day at Oulton. Wasn't overly impress tbh...better than standard contis for grip but not great. They seemed to have quite weak tyre walls so felt a little too twitchy but I am comparing them to the A048's I used before which were amazing but much more...

Most of the hardcore Willie owners I know say that the Cup is the next progression from the williams. They (williams) respond well to the usual basic mods and the uprated cams that most use iirc are the same/similar to the ones in the 172 so bring them up power wise. Handling is superb in the...

someone has missed the shift key ;)

Some of them are good (justin Moorehouse one is great) but the "celebrity" ones I tried were s**t...didn't sound anything like them imo Chris

Is the Touring M5 a lot heavier than the saloon...might have been a bigger victory then I suppose Chris Actually just looked and the M5 saloon is 1830kgs but the Audi is just over 2 ton so that will probably even up the race

I think they are great as long as 1. you have a decent cold airfeed and 2. you have the car mapped properly (obviously only if you have other mods) Chris

It does seem odd...mine has a much better ptw ratio than my m8s mk5 GTi which had 245bhp and 300ftlbs yet can just about keep within a car length or two from 50 - 120ish ...then 5th gear it is totally game over Chris

I reckon sean d is about right but of course you get the massive differences in RR setups Chris

Looks quick but I think the angle makes it look quicker...I think it's called paralax error iirc unless you can do 40 in 1st gear (I have no sound at work but thats what it looks like on the vid) Chris

I think they should be a little cheaper than £90. And while what people say about the heat issue is true I got a 14.1 1/4mile running (amongst other mods) a piperx cone filter with no cold air feed so it works both ways imo...they don't add much performance but they also do take much away...

Saw this at Scooby Shootout and TOTB....awesome motor but it is ok when you have masses of cash to throw about lol Chris

I did this last time this was on here... Chris

lol yeah that was class...especially on the motorway just as you were passing a police car on the hard shoulder hehe Chris

Looks very nice indeed! I think mine would be spot on with coilovers...whenever I take pics the ride hight always stands out a mile, even worse because there is nothing in it! :( I'm only in Blackburn so might have to let you loose on mine! ;) Chris

Looks great m8. I'll have to nip round and have a gander at some point Chris

Thats a good reason on its own imo... Chris

Don't even mention the 182cup steering wheel...oops too late :P Chris

lol Every year I say I'll do something different but end up Oulton as I love it! Probably not do the Renaulsport one because good as they are it is nice to have a good variety of motors Chris

Looks a good circuit....nice and fast! Chris

Amazing motor...and this vid shows just how quick they are in the lower spec...can't imagine how quick this thing would accelerate! m0jTCsQmPQk Chris

I don't see how...not exactly scientific but neither sounds like they are modded and they have a few runs to show it isn't a one off lucky run...imo of course Chris

I think the same guys vs V6 is pretty good too.... Chris
