Congrats Rich :D Well i suppose it will be cheaper than a scoob to run, and i hope you got a good deal on it ;) but your still welcome to that ride out, and see what your missing ;) (its just ashame its not raining, as thats where you can really demonstrate a scoobs ability ;)) Tony:D

Black is the rarest but moonstone is very nice ;) Just think of the insurance though :o Tony

Make Ford Model Sierra RS Cosworth Year 1987 Colour Moonstone Description The spec on this Nr concours car is endless and awesome ! Over £40k spent inc the purchase of the car making it into its current proven 508 bhp flying machine ! Engine only completed 3k miles ...

Cmon Rich, i need an answer ;) Tony:D

Hiya Rich, today you will have to be quick, any time after the gp but 4pm is about the latest i want to be doing anything as i go back to work on sundays, we could meet at the snipe which is off the M60 so easy to get to ;) Tony

Rich, you should have talked to me and id have taken you out in my UK car (its a PPP and pushing a little more than a std my98). I do know where there is a minter of an Impreza though (not an RB5 though but THE ultimate impreza) an STi 6 type RA limited for around 16k with 9k on the clock, 17...

Shorty what age are you btw? I should also point out that you can get a decent 4 for around 11-12k, but you will have to shop around as there are lots of nasty ones out there.... Tony

Vtec, nope shes not standard but i had a nice slipstream which probably helped me a little ;) but the 300zx had quite a bit left over me so i would have been toast after that Tony

Off the clock in mine (redline is at 167mph) and i was at the red line :o so its quicker than one of those ctr things ;) (and it gets there quicker too :D) but was having fun with a 300zx at the time (who also got a quick speed). Tony

Optimax doesnt suit all cars (just check your handbook for that) as i know that the 16v renaults (the 1.8ltr engines) ran just as well on nul as they do on sul. The 172 should notice the difference though, and i could put optimax in my mondeo but it would be a waste of time (it is designed to...

It takes 6 months before ANY fuel starts to degrade, even normal super unleaded. Your car will adapt to some fuels better than others, a 97 ron fuel may feel better than a 98.6 ron fuel as your ecu learns, but if you keep putting it into your tank then you will end up with the same situation...

The 4 is the one to go for, its the first car to have the 276bhp and AYC but the AYC units on the 4s and 5s were known to be faulty so watch out as they are around 600+ quid to replace. These cars need super unleaded fuel and octane booster, they drink the stuff so watch out for that, also...

Griff, there is nothing wrong with my calculations ta, try it, its 2.7 (as in bar) divided by .065, the anwer = 41.5 (which is the PSI). 2.3 divided by .065 =35.3 psi. Those pressures are waaaaaaaaaay too much for a road car, and if you check your tyres, you will actually see that you have a...

I want to see what all this hype is about and want to be a passenger in one of these (as lookers dont seem to have any 172s or cups in) so is anyone up for giving me a lift? ;) Tony:D

I no longer get this smell on my car, this is possably down to the fact i dont have a cat on ;) Tony

I got a 13.9 at crail and still not getting good starts ;) Tony

2.7 bar = 41.5psi, 2.2 bar =34psi. Far too much for a road car on the road without putting it in a ditch. Tony

2.7 bar?!!!!!!!!!!!!! Put it this way, my car runs at 1.2 bar which is around 18psi, if your running 2.8 bar (its .065 btw) then your looking at some stupid figure (possably into the 40psi range) which is not what you want unless you need serious oversteer. 30 psi was around the right value...

You would need to get the money in first, and you would need more than the quoted ammount of people (incase any drop out etc) plus with the extra cash you could fit a decent alarm system and give the rest to charity (but 10quid a ticket may be better). Tony

Is most of your driving low mileage trips? (ie 2-3 miles?) If so, this is whats causing your smelly problem (longer distance driving cures this as the cat gets bedded in). Tony

Daz, they can strip the engine to see if its been abused, it does actually show if you have abused the car (especially from cold as you get lots of wear at this time). Running in an engine is there for a reason, the biggest being that the parts havnt quite fitted together perfectly, this...

Thats pretty good with just a panel filter, mine was mailto:147bhp@wheels">147bhp@wheels, mailto:177bhp@fly">177bhp@fly (running unleaded fuel as this was in the days before optimax). Was a sleeper of a car (white) but if you come across R150 YVM and she still has fpsh then go for her! Tony

Errrrrm...... id read the small print on the warranty if i were you ;) you may be a bit :o when they dont cover your engine due to abuse :( (more manufactures are going this way now, especially if you are having engine failures!) Run the car in properly for the first 1k, then rag it ;) Tony

Well rich, the 306 GTi i had was pushing 177bhp in standard form ;) and if abused right could have got the same 1/4 mile times as your rallye (shame i never did take her down the strip) but i kept up with a saab 9000 cse 210bhp turbo on the motorway (he was well hacked off ;)) absolutely nothing...

F1 web, you can get a plastic coating that protects the windows (except front and rear screens). Tony

Tumbleweed, you may actually find that the type R impreza (the correct spelling btw ;)) had the keys removed and were not there when the car was taken (ie they went with the car). Also, said place in question has a bit of a reputation (thus the reason im not mentioning it) for car thefts. A...

Rich, i think that the down side for the 106 gti and the equivelant saxo vts is that the cabin is cramped and the pedals are badly placed :( You could always recommend a pug 306 GTi-6 or a 306 Rallye though ;) but if your going into a dodgy area id go for something simple and practical (and...

Having 2ks worth of security on my car i think i may be an expert here ;) and as no one seemed to listen or take any notice of my first post ill point a few things out. 1. DONT get a toad alarm, instead save a few more pennies and go for a clifford concept 5 or 600, the blackjax anti hijack...

Sell the S3, sod the missus and get a Subaru Impreza STi8 type UK, buy a ford mondeo 2ltr zetec to do the rounds in, then with the change left over, buy some 18inch wheels for the impreza and the performance pack ;) The styling will eventually grow on you (it doesnt take long!) Tony

Hannah, get yourself a BIG Yellow Disclok ;) Then get a clifford concept alarm (id go for the 600 personally as the wireless immobiliser is the bees knees). Tracking systems are pretty good but not much of a visable deterrent (which i take it your after?) Hope that helps (oh should say...
