    VXR CORSA OR CLIO r27 197

    http://livestream.innovationmecom.de/popup_opc.php Nurburgring supermini lap record - 8:47 Wonder what the 197 can/has done? Roadtest: http://www.carenthusiast.com/roadtests.html?mode=article&id=1946

    VXR CORSA OR CLIO r27 197

    ^£400 takes it upto 230bhp and muchos torque. That's only their Phase 1 map too, a revised Phase 2 map is out shortly, so see how much that gives. Would love to see how quick they are with that remap, and what sort of MPG they return once mapped.

    VXR CORSA OR CLIO r27 197

    Bullsh*t - So BMW were making a mistake by charging and then turboing the MCS? Sure...they were :rolleyes: The Corsa VXR is the first generation of hot hatch on that chassis and build. Renault have been doing Sports for years so I'd say Vaux are doing a good job if the VXR's are trully their...

    getting to the 200bhp mark,gdi or bb tuning

    Boring? Why spend 2K on making an already stretched car 0.2 seconds faster to 60 when you could spend £500-1000 on a VAG/Jap turbo and bag yourself 30-50hp. As for being sleeper, oh please...The only sleeper Clio was Matt's 400bhp 1.2 with steelies! Pointless venture, get some coils, get some...

    Indeed. Don't waste your money trying to make the F4R more powerful, buy a turbo and save your cash.

    VXR CORSA OR CLIO r27 197

    Think i'd choose the Corsa (though haven't driven it) over the 197, saw one at the weekend in red and it actually looked like a hot hatch instead of a shopping trolley. Chavvy or not I like the way the VXR looks, and the fact a remap will give it the legs on a lot of cars just makes it more...

    197 as a Motorway Car

    Useless car for the motorway IMO, crappy gearing and thirsty espacially for a hot hatch that doesn't weigh 'that much' 30mpg in a 2.0L with 6 gears is frankly shite! My step dads 630i will do 35/37mpg and that car weighs as much as the titanic and runs (obviously) a 3.0L V6. Stupid short...

    Ring Of Death :(

    Can we make a sub-forum called "Broken 360's" seems to be quite a demand, on the polar of that though we could have a PS3 Games forum which would be fairly sparse ;)

    VP capacity at this exchange is currently showing as Green - Which is fine. As you have Bulldog LLU, personally I'd go with them over the clowns at AOL, probably cheaper to. http://www.bulldogbroadband.com/residential/products/broadband/index.asp

    Sony KDL40S2510U

    Looks a good set IMO for the money. 1080p really isn't needed on this size of screen anyway, and it's going to be a long time before we'll see 1080p broadcasts over the air.

    Your datarates will suffer at peak hours due to adsl being a contended service, although it shouldn't suffer anything like as badly as you mention. Check samknows website and do a check on your exchange, if it's red it will be that.

    Virus Software...

    Nod32, AVG for freeware. Kaspersky is best overall though IMO. Oh and another good one is here. :quiet:

    Sorry mate, but this just quite frankly isn't true, for a start you could only theoretically pull down between 2TB (2000GB) and 2.5TB on an 8mb line running at full wack 24/7 in a month. By them throttling you to 50kb/s they are actively capping you, you'd be looking at 100-150GB in a month...

    torrent question

    As the man above said. Indeed by the very nature of Torrents your download will improve if you're also uploading at a decent rate too, although not always applicable. Look for torrents with a good ratio (more seeds + less leechers = more speed). Plenty of uTorrent tuning guides, search google...

    HELP!!!!

    Doubt it would have been a power issue, Windows usually sets around 500mA per USB port, and an input device will usually only consume 100mA a piece. Probably just down to corrupt system file/driver or a BIOS issue. I had a similar issue when using some crappy card reader, soon as I installed...

    Could Blue Ray be the next Betamax....

    I'm not sure that Sony would license or humour and add-on for the 360 :) BD is outselling HD-DVD by 4:1 afaik, but it's all very wooly as far as official released figures go, everybody seems to have a different take on it. Blockbuster only stocking BD is a big deal though, the only thing BD...

    Could Blue Ray be the next Betamax....

    That's the point though it's not subjective, it's down to people misconfiguring their hardware that leads to sub-standard reproduction. Each disc is the very same, therefore someone saying "PQ is s**t" and the next person saying "ZOMG it's immense" equates to person 1 having issues with one of...

    Good AGP 8x VGA card

    X1950 Pro (I think there's also a X1950 XT on AGP to) is the better card chap.

    Exactly, I can't understand why anybody in the right mind wouldn't pay another £80 and get a PS3...madness!

    WHAT TYPE OF EXHAUST SHOULD I GET FOR MY 197

    My advice, don't get something too loud because it WILL do your freaking head in when you're on the motorway. With the gearing of the 197 being a complete joke, driving down the motorway at 80mph at 7,000rpm it's going to be screaming! Personally I'd choose carefully indeed, as for performance...

    True or Not...nitrogen in tires?

    Might check how that effects bike tyres, as after a good fast ride pressures can vary by as much as 5-7psi. Interesting indeed!

    Who wants to earn some pennies?

    Find a template you like and butcher the code to remove the adverts and other unwanted symptoms, seriously... Or use it as the perfect playground and use the vast array of tutorials on the 'net to improve your own understanding of coding.

    K850 - When?

    Just because Sony are launching it in Q4 it doesn't mean it's going to appear Q4. I'd expect early 2008 tbh.
