Aye...He though he could smeel trouble the run b4 but he though it was a bit of oil out of somewhere else. Pity as he has a different final drive now....good for 220mph although he obviously wouldn't have hit that high Chris

The link doesn't work m8y..but if it was Jordys VW he didn't spin off..he was winding up for a top speed run and his headgasket went..not sure of the damage yet as I haven't spoke to him yet :( Chris

Ahh sorry m8 I didn't click the link. It is a 1.8t running an audi TT 4wd setup. It is in the latest issue of Performance VW. It really is amazing what he can do..used to be 2wd but 'simply' put a 4wd system in...made the manifold to suit etc Chris

Yep here it is m8...0-60 2.6 secs....0-110 in 6.7. And it is his own work..not a 60k+ car like some of the others. One car had a 40k diff ffs! lol I had a couple of the extortionate burgers which were ok...worth it..I'm not sure lol Chris

I saw a couple of clios while I was there. Saw a valver with dark turbines, saw a trophy and a williams 2 as well. My m8 was running in his mk1 scirrocco Storm. A bit unfair really as he was in the same the same class as andy forest and Norris Designs Evo....he won all his races and got a...

Both looking very nice fella. Better than when I last saw it lol :) chris

remove the bonnet? Chris

If thats the 'dave' I think it is then I would say it is just the CSLs revs (which is obviously just hanging back to film it) and the camera that makes it look slow.I'm sure a cup doesn't lean like that without a bit of speedo..ironic thing about the wife comment is that his missus hoons round...

Congrats m8y :) Chris

:) Chris

As said the main difference is the actual garage you go to. I have used Topgear in Padiham for years (as does 2live) and I have never had a problem with the service or the product. Infact they are now using a better quality SS than mine which has lasted 4 years of very hard use. Paid £250 for...

How can that even be right...14.2 with a rear wheel drive 900kg Type R engine? Ben who used to come on here got a 14.5 in a bog std type r with about 300kgs more and 23bhp less...and less traction!? And how is it a clever air intake..wouldn't it be more clever to have air flowing directly in...

A couple of mine...need to get some decent footage tbh http://media.putfile.com/Cup-Vs-Saxo http://media.putfile.com/Cup-Vs-2live sorry Jon ;) Chris

very nice m8....especially the photoshop ;) Chris

I remember it but I dont't know what has happened with it..was a white Mk1 IIRC..V8 lump in the back Chris

Lol np Daz. Was a shame is was soo wet so traction was a nightmare. I'll have to nip it over next time I have it again. Cheers Chris

0-60 5.39 0-100 probably just over 15 secs. Don't bother with top end but had 145 indicated....aren't the gearboxes maxed out near that anyway? Chris

Very nice m8. I think the mic makes it sound louder than it actually is tbh. This is mine but only 80 > on a recent trip to Germany...seems to pull very well even after a ton. Had a low limiter at the time but now back up to mid 7k again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT_BaycY3oA Chris

This would destroy an M3 from a roll without any problems. Similar/more power and more torque and lots less weight... Probably 8 or 9 secs 0-100 and I suppose only gearing will affect top end. Chris

There are a couple of cups but won't be me...getting the Cup out for a day on thursday night so I'll be about then :) Chris

Mine....for now ;) Chris

Wow thats a high peak power m8...think mine is down in the high 6k`s Chris

130 lbft? Thats well down fella...aren't they 144 std? I'll have to nip over and have a doo Paul. Mine made 188bhp with 182 manifold, decat/exhaust BMC filter with cold air feed and std ecu. Remapped on same rollers 2hrs or so later and he got it to 195.4 with 175ftlb. 6 months later totally...

300lbft is great but if it is 150 up to a certain revs...300 for a short burst then drop like a rock it isn't quite the same as 300 for a decent stretch. And you can hardly compare remapped cars..how about adding a turbo to the M3 to make it fair?! Chris

Naaa thats not a knife.....;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRvI5KuAoro Chris

400bhp Coupe Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 400 Weight without Driver (KG) : 1307 Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 310.96 0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.35 0 - 100 (Secs) : 9.21 60 - 100 (Secs) : 4.86 Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.55 Terminal Speed (MPH) : 116.73 Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.35 Drag...

I agree with Tom on this. A lighter car with same power and I would assume a fair bit more torque would/should be quicker. Just because its a ferrari doesn't mean its invincible (cue the "I know what car I'd rather have" comments) :rolleyes: Chris

I have seen 2 Corsa VXRs an I have to say I prefer them. Some of the styling is a bit ott but in general they look better imo..plus the engine will help things along. Chris

Is it true that MS have some sort of part in Blue ray anyway so who ever wins they will bring out the appropriate drive? Chris

Probably the same reason as someone posting something pointless like that?
