I see a few round here. I'd say they're kind of in the middle. They're not as common as Civic Type R's for example, but I see a lot more 1*2's than I do 106 / 306 GTi's.

I'd say around midday myself. The Lincoln meet was at 1 - 1:30 IIRC, and by the time we'd finally got out of Frankie and Benny's it was dark. Midday would probably give about 4 - 5 hours of daylight for all you pic wh0res. EDIT: And I'm not sure about chips. Aren't they what poor people eat? ;)

That's because in the UK nobody would get away with it. The police would spot them a mile off and wouldn't hesitate to throw the book at you.

Matlock Rugby club?

I raced one of those in my 106 GTi a couple of years ago. The Colt pulled away a little bit initially but the 106 quickly caught up. After that there was nothing in it. When we got to a twisty section though, rather predictably the colt disappeared from my rear view mirror. 106 was standard...

Any thoughts on the meeting place for this? Sainsbury's car park again? Or somewhere a bit classier?

Meh. Technet subscription FTW :D

As above. No difference. The heads are CNC machined so if a set of inlets have been matched up to any 1*2 head they should match any other.

1) Probably a mapping issue IMO, but I could be wrong. 2) Manifolds can often hit the subframe. Normally a worn engine mount I think. 3) Only specialist I can think of in Birmingham is BTM Performance (the guy's username is "Fred" on here).

That sounds wrong TBH. If it helps, my uncle had a Renault Trafic van and the diamond fell off the steering wheel on that. That was glued on (poorly), so I'd imagine it's the same on all Renault steering wheels?

If I had the chance to buy that for £350 I'd have snapped the old bird's arm off. I can't stand it when people don't look after cars that are obviously future classics but it looks like you're well on the way to bringing it back to its former glory. Awesome job :D

Can't really answer that question. The car's not N/A anymore so it's a pointless comparison lol. EDIT: But one thing I will mention is that it definitely idles better now than it ever did before.

It's running an Omex ECU (piggy-backing off the standard one) and a custom(?) map done by Andy @ K-Tec.

I nearly ran out of fuel the other day and no garage nearby had Super Unleaded at the time. Had to put a tenner's worth of poverty spec fuel in and it felt like it was running on weasel wazz. Can definitely tell the car's not mapped to run on it. I had to drive really slowly too :(

Re: Veyron boat test goes wrong As long as there's no major unrepairable structural damage I'd imagine it'd get repaired / rebuilt. It's a very expensive limited run car, so even if someone spent 5 million repairing it, it'll probably be worth double that in 10 years time. The McLaren F1's are...

Out of interest, how did you go about getting your car featured in a mag? I'd quite like to do that myself once I've done some more mods and got it how I like it.

Thanks :o

I'll be in attendance As usual no driving fast...

You can either: a) Create a PST file in Outlook and drag the public folders into it. b) Use Exmerge to move the public folders into a mailbox, then export the mailbox to a PST. c) You can try Pubmerge instead, but it's got a lot of known issues. TBH I'd just use the Outlook method out of...

Would 421's work properly on a low comp forced induction engine?

I'm sure anyone else with a turbo'd / SC'd 1*2 will agree with me TBH. Obviously as an M3 driver you're always going to think your car's quicker than any Clio...

How much boost does it run?

Avec.

FPMSL @ the cojones.

It has one major flaw.... It's pink.

Sounds like you just need to set up a two way transitive forest trust then migrate your users and Exchange mailboxes across using ADMT. If you're migrating across to Exchange 2010 chances are you'll need to update the schema on your current domain before ADMT can migrate users from it. You'd...

I heard that Podracers have really bad understeer?

<---- Boosted ;)

I annihilated a BMW 330 the other night. I wouldn't be suprised if I could keep up with an M3 up to silly speeds. Roll on January, then I probably will be able to...

I can't be arsed to do anything at work today so I've just read this whole thread. Great project. Looks really good. I want a tow eye for mine now! How are you finding the AST's? Was thinking about a set myself.
