WHAT! £18k for a Mini, is that honestly what they are? :o
Cooper S boy - 100kph is 62mph. 2mph isnt going to make that much difference (maybe 0.1 secs), unless like Ben says, they have screwed the gear ratios up.!

I agree.
Dont get a GTO, too heavy, not as quick as you think, and lots of electrical problems.
300ZX, a little better, still not all that. The interiors on Jap cars are all pretty much the same, they dont look that special at all.
If your looking for something fast, light and around the...
5 turbo and clio 16v boxes are interchangable.
BUT.!
The 5 turbos speedo is driven electronically, whereas the 16v is mechanical. So just put the 16v box on the 5 turbo block and hay presto.!
Fuel pressure regulator, you need one to control the pressure of the fuel to the carb.
Cup mod, piece of pi$$. Just means either using a single port actuator or removing the vacume hosing from the second port on the standard actuator and blanking off all the holes it leaves, including one in...
Rob mate, you need to do a little more homework. Its a 1.4. Also, the torque that turbod engines produce is alot more than an NA.
Depending on what turbo your running, boost comes in at about 1500-2000rpm, so you dont ever really have to be off-boost either.
If youve never been in a 5...
Well obviously you spend money on replacing the standard shocks, fit a front and rear strut brace and you dont have sh1t handling anymore.
Simple.
Then, 200bhp + R5 = Very fast car.
Why do you think your not insured if you dont have tax?
If you dont have tax on your car and the pigs pull you and see it, they dont say..
"ahh, no tax, that means you dont have insurance either, so Ill nick you for that too.!".
You ARE insured.
Thats the bit that people need to hear.
Hope it goes well now.
What do your prices start at for 6inch+ screens, either dash mount or flip down from roof.? Any make, no silly prices. :D
I managed an indicated 175 on my old ZXR750, so far Ive hit an indicated 160 in the Supra, it was still pulling and had about 1200rpm to go to red-line but had to lift off to slow down for a roundabout. :( .... which also let the boxter S catch up again!!
:D
Well, @ 160 he was quite a way back. I really cant be bothered to argue, so Ill let you think what you like. Maybe he wasnt trying, maybe he was. Youll never know.
I do, but not scanned in. I keep meaning to get some nice shots of it. It looks pretty much the same (its black anyway!) as the one on the link I just posted, but mine has nicer side skirts and doesnt have those indicators on the side of the bumper (just infront of the wheel). And my wheels...
M12-Tim,
I was waiting for that comment from someone. Trust me, he was going for it as much as I was. Being a biker myself I know the body language of someone who is trying.! He gave me a toot and thumbs up when I pulled off at my junction too, it was a brilliant race, lasted about 20 miles...
It is an Auto, yes. But there are just as many Jap manuals out there too. The rare ones are the UK 6 speeds, most UK ones are either auto or later ones are tiptronic.
Bikes... Thats a hard one. They are alot quicker off the mark, but I did have a tussle with an R1 last week and over 130 I...
I blew away a 300bhp Scooby, then met the owner / driver the following week, dam nice bloke. He even posted it on Scoobynet just after the little run in.
Others include a Boxter S, wouldnt let me past first of all so I went round the outside of him coming off a roundabout and buy the time I...
James,
Head gasket leaking oil? That confused me.! Ask to see where its leaking from. If the head gasket goes then you usually know about it. Id say its more likely that its the rocker cover gasket thats actually leaking, this will cost a fraction of the head gasket cost and take about...
A standard 5 turbo on a G plate with 35k on the clock is no way worth 10k. No more than £2.5k and that would be at a push.
I just sold my standard raider with 46k on the clock for £2k for a quick sale.
£10k, your in dream land.!
One of the guys in the GTT owners club brought a H plate 5...

Thats a pretty immature thing to say. We dont need idiots like you on the road.
Im sure motorcyclists think your a bit of a tw*t when you go round wheelspinning and trying to show off in your car.!
Why dont you like them, is it because they can get about quicker than you without even...
I was working on the engine of my old 5 turbo and I needed to start the car up to check what Id just done.
I opened the door put the key in and started the engine and then shut the door. Soon as I shut the door I realised that my alarm had anti-hijack which locks the doors 5 seconds after the...
Altering the fueling (chip) will affect fueling all through the rev range and not just WOT. The ECU also received info from the MAF sensor to help it decide how much fuel it needs.
