my three LG 8110 is a heap of poo, im going to try and change my phone,
does anyone know the best place to buy something like a 6600. is it ebay?

got a family friend who is a Quadraplegic (no use of arms or legs) because of a car crash, if you end up like that and you get nothing from the insurance youll be pretty f**ked.
suppose the council might give you a mobility scooter if youre lucky.
yup.... 1.4 8v 75bhp 114Nm 0-60 11.7, 1.4 16v 98bhp 127Nm
for reference 1.2 16v 74bhp 105Nm 0-60 11.7
so i think the 8v will get off the like quicker than the 1.2 16v because of the torque but ultimately has the same top speed.
if my understanding is right the 1.4 8v has more torque than...
same car as me and i wiish i had those extra 8 valves ;)
23ish BHP different :@
even though theyre the same BHP as the 1.2 16v i think theyre slightly quicker, must have slightly more torque. im sure someone will present the figures

In my opinion the average man on the street (ie. not a renault sport enthusiast, & forum user) wouldnt know that cupcake and mike172sports cars are lowered at all! If (and i suspect they have) theyve spend a lot of money on dampers and springs for performance, and the car gets a sportier stance...

this was cheapest last time it was discussed, and iuts gone down more since then too!
a few weeks ago as i came off the M1 and stopped at the top of the sliproad some old lady turned off the roundabout and down the sliproad into oncoming traffic. she was going quite slow but obviously sh*t herself seeing cars coming up the sliproad and crashed into the barrier.
she was ok but...
Gtech pro
can get em shipped from america for about £35. they are pretty consistent so they are good for comparing before/after mods... however it wouldnt be worth arguing my car would beat yours cos the g-tech says so as they arent 100% accurate. good fun though.
i consistently get approx...
maybe its the windscreen wash motor.
well not the motor, but the valve that switches between front and rear spray.
to spray the back window the motor runs the opposite way to the front washer jets. a bit of rubber in a plastic tube slides accross and blocks off the tube to the front jets...
i bet you get so many people trying to race, or pulling crazy manouvers in front of you if you have a V6.
my mates dad is selling his astra coupe turbo because of this, and thats not half as recognisable as a vee!
1kw is approx 1.34 horsepower
(1.341022 according to my conversion program)
so if that graph peaks at roughly 112kw then thats about 150 horsepower. which will be your power at the wheels....
thats just simple maths!!!
ill let someone else bang on about transmission loss!
Am thinking aboiut buying this... is it as good as any other?
