Wow! Consider me jealous with that collection of Lancias! Looking at pictures of sidevalves, it's incredible to see how much more complex engines are now. About the simplest thing I've worked on is a 3 cylinder Lister and even that is relatively complex compared to that.
Pleasure to have you...
I knew someone who drove one of them. It was hateful.
He was the kind of old fart who would pass cyclists with 0.2mm to spare (I am talking literally not even moving the wheel as he went past, whilst towing a boat!) but when someone passed him and a couple of other cars in a 182 at the same...
The difference in grip between a new set of PS4s and worn out ones is actually pretty big so that probably explains why you didn't notice the Kumhos weren't as good.
Sorry, I misread your post above!
Yeah, a cat will muffle those quite a lot. Worth trying a decat for the price anyway, at least it won't ruin the note of the Akra.
You’ll never make it as loud as an F1 car, and trust me on this, you don’t want to.
As above, a decat is your only real option short of selling the Akra and getting a custom exhaust made.
I reckon with some of the land they've got spare they could do some awesome amateur motorsport. Sadly the big wigs are all wanking over getting everyone to cycle to work whilst rocking up in a 458... :rolleyes:
One of the nice things about working in a big engineering outfit is there are lots of car enthusiasts. One bloke turns up to work every day in a full blown PS13 drift car, still covered in rubber from the weekend.
pretty sure they’re still on running-in-revs at the moment.
Dale truck’s epic but they need to rev it to the moon.
You can tell Cleetus (aka Garrett IRL) is sound because he’s mates with Vaughn Gittin Jr who is probably one of the most sound and humble drivers I’ve ever seen in top level...
I hate wearing racing gloves because you lose so much feel and grip on the wheel IMO, but....
I can’t argue against that. At all. There’s so many heroes who build full blown track cars to do one Combe Action Day session a year it’s unbelievable.
That was one act that has blown right up, lol. Crazy that he’s basically outgrown 1320video when he used to work for Kyle!
Still makes me laugh when I watch the video where he ‘borrows’ Kyle’s C7 and uses it to pick up a mower he found at the roadside, lol
