Re: Black R26 Blackburn My m8 had a quick play with one last week near Accy...he was in a 170bhp DSG golf and by all accounts he did ok till speeds got higher Chris

I assumed he was trying to cut the background out of the picture... Chris

not as good as ste's but here is my go ;) Chris

lol I will say it once more for the people at the back. The vids of it rolling sounds good but the one where it is just reving sounds like a whole host of other cars...Lost the v10 noise so lost its best point imo Chris

I must admit that on the rolling vid it sounds better but I think thats mostly down to the engine noise from the front. The vid I posted sounds nothing like a V10 which is the sound that makes the car imo. Just loads of raspy noise which could be just a v8. Chris

I think this sounds terrible...probably costs an arm and a leg and totally destroys the V10 sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRYYe0kLCto&feature=related Chris

Is the other 2k going to be spent. I would probably get a few choice mods (exhaust/decat, BMC induction and remap) and probably brakes (suspension is fine if you aren't too bothered about spending loads on coilovers etc) then do a few trackdays. Chris

yeah yeah...our works 130gt tdi has a bigger kick than any of that....;) Chris

check out the guy ducking the bumper!? I bet he s**t him self! Chris

Lol True...it was funny at Oulton when they were checking a CSL...I was thinking to myself that the noisy bit was from the front lol Chris

Mine was a very reasonable 95 iirc so just spot on for the lower limits I think Chris

yep...sounds like he is in a high gear and short shifting I would probably describe passing on left then right as threading but going down the middle on a tight bend is just an accident waiting to happen...and that caterfield must have s**t himself getting passed on both sides at once lol Chris

This just looks completely mad imo! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4H3ucr_MIA&feature=related Chris

I have had Powerflow exhausts fitted at Topgear in Padiham on my last 3 cars and have never had an issue with any of them. As said there are good and bad fitters but Topgear is certainly a good one. (Type R lads rave about them and travel from all over to get them to fit exhausts fitted) Mine...

Or 'freds english' as it is more commonly known ;) Chris

Yep defo Anni Chris

Lol yeah still can't believe I got shut! ;) Naa as I said they are fine with just two as the other two tyres will allow you to keep the stability...honest ;) Chris

I got a full set and took them off within a week. They have much softer tyre walls and the car felt like it was floating round bend. Maybe if you have two on the front or back but a full set is just scary imo Chris

My results are on a website somewhere but can't remember the site. Was properly timed not stopwatch/speedo Chris

Well my cup got 5.39 0-60 Not 100% standard tho ;) Chris

NA engines I think m8 Chris

lol you wind up! ;) Chris

Well when I compare with my m8s and want to go fast I wouldn't be in 4th at 50!?!?! It is always the same old diesel argument. If you are driving a car that revs to 7k+ why in gods name would you compare with something in an unsuitable gear? The extra bhp in the VXR will be a peak reading...

fair enought m8y...but it raises the questioin of why is it there? I assume it is a safety reason. TB'd cars don't have them but then again they aren't manufactured like that so it isn't an issue. Recently near me a clio was involved in an accident where he hit another car head on and ended up...

Astra VXR must be faster than that m8? I reckon about 15.5 to 16 secs. I would imagine that a Corsa VXR would do 0-100 in 17 odd secs Chris

Not far off m8y http://videos.streetfire.net/video/ad6320d5-3eb1-4fe6-8264-987f00fe9026.htm Chris

My fuel rail cover did the same thing but for the sake of tightening a few screws I would keep it on. Chris

I'm with Rhino on this...loving it! At the moment I love running up to an Archer and chucking him off the top of the building and the crowd gathering round the body. Best bit for me is fighting 4 or 5 guards and using the counter moves...pity you can't record the game then watch from different...

Just in case anyone saying its a vr6 missed this ;) Chris

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOKVHJL3ICQ&feature=related Is this the same race from a different angle...sounds like a 4 pot but 100% not standard..straight through exhaust? Chris
