Quick search online revealed a general rule of thought: The myth about putting batteries on concrete floors is from years ago when battery technology was not as advanced as it is now. It has nothing to do with the concrete or the ground though. A cool, damp location was a poor place to...

Hi Jamo_182, I notice your location is set as Manchester. Are you actually local to the West Midlands hence asking? If so everyone receives a PM a couple of days before and we can add you to that, also it is always in the Calender which you'll find at the top of the page (inbetween FAQ and...

Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere I'll come providing my car is fixed by then.

I might not be there now. Car luck (which was pretty bad anyway after replacing almost everything on the car) just ran out completely. Car's written off now I reckon, should have hit animal. I'll live I think lol. Might see if Tom or Chris wouldn't mind giving me a lift (think the bad luck is...

2nd Monday of the month. Thats just the way it is.....

As I think Don's put in the calendar mate, if you make the effort to attend when it's not local to you (which you have) then yes we definitely will have one closer to you. It's only fair that we accommodate people that put in effort. . I for one would be perfectly happy if Octobers was near...

That's a Good question, didn't think of it as an issue as the monthly meets only bring in 6 or 7 of us but then the last meet at star city I think we had about 25 so while we don't know numbers I may just ring them to see if they could manage a few of us. I'll see if don's spoke to them and if...

Don't worry there'll be a pm making sure everyone knows haha.

You only have one text lol

Oh oohh I'm in the dog house. Girlfriend just asked what I'm doing Monday and I said going for some grub and a drink etc with the CS lot in Solihull. Then got the 'you do know what day it is? Since when can you have an 'anniversary' so to speak when we're not married...that argument won't work...

Yeah definitely Tom. It will be good to get this meet moving around the midlands now that the date is established.

Chris I'll be nice because you're a mate but that is just silly talk :p Matt is talking about an S15 (and through fb he is trying to get me to get one as well) Why have an Impreza over an S15 bar the noise lol.

Haha I won't tell Mandy don't worry.

You and Don? http://www.hammockbliss.com/files/double/frame-4-image-1.jpg

Haha not sure how large yet :s (Okay mate well I'm working every other day so will just get you to have a quick look Saturday when dropping the girlfriends 1.2 off and then get mine booked in dependent on diagnosis.) I actually think a proper drinking session is in order, bit far for me and a...

Ouch :( first didn't reply to my text and now a load of abuse lol. You just lost your most awkward customer lol. Im just trying to help haha.

To be fair we said we'd establish the monthly meets and have found a date which works so there's no reason wwe can't now start moving them about. Fred you know the area so is that postcode somewhere you'd recommend for food or what?

600bhp...through the front wheels, what on earth would the likes of Jeremy Clarkson say haha. Sounds pretty impressive but my highlight of this thread has to be Now that would be on par with a 600bhp megane.

They do seem pretty common on this forum actually. I don't think I could own one and nothing else though to be fair. I definitely can't afford 2 cars yet either. One day lol

It seems to be the route most drifters go down but is that not purely for cost reasons and wanting big bhp as they're normally heavier than mx-5's lol. I would have thought the power delivery on a supercharger was better due to being able to control and feaether the power, last thing you want...

Your opinion is wrong :p Turbo's are brilliant and can imagine would be on an mx5 but the power delivery and noise of the supercharger (and the fact that 220bhp in an mx5 would be plenty) would be my preferance. I've seen his project thread and it looks great inside and out.

Yeah MX5 and the Clio as a daily was actually another thought. I have never been one to make rash decisions and impulse buy but I was soo so close when I saw this the other day... http://pistonheads.com/sales/4188003.htm

Not a clue but it's my next car (not his but an S15 in general) lol, his was quite nice iirc.

I know we're not organising it lol. What I was asking was if you knew anything of the organisation as I only know of it through here? I hope it's not a load of idiots 'teararsing from a to b' for the kids sake more than anything but I'm curious as to if there's anything to make the event run...

I don't mean to put a downer on this as I think it's absolutely great and may be able to make it myself...but what's happening regarding organisation etc. (E.G we saw how chaotic things got with only a 100 ish cars with little organisation at the chester meet, ended up with a crash too). Is...

I want this a lot. Mk2 RS Clio's should be naturally aspirated. Mk3's should be turbo'd and just like this one. Would love this and my 172 cup.

Nice one Don, Silver is the way to go definitely. I can't wait to do mine silver, silly anthracite :(

Can't say I like or would drive that focus RS but it looks pretty impressive nonetheless. Great pictures and a nice selection of cars too.

That's a fair point again the 'only a clio give it to the new boy' situation. Will speak to him tomorrow and if I don't have any luck I'll certainly look into the dead dog idea. Cheers again

Hi Daniel, don't personally know him but he came highly recommended by a well trusted friend and his work when i went for the quote spoke for itself (mainly on exotic cars) I have a feeling it's been a case of it was rushed a little as it's 'only a Clio'. Nice as pie to deal with so will go and...
