My car (Mk1 16v with Ph1 172 running gear) has just had a new gearbox and gripper diff fitted. Before I had them fitted, the car drove lovely, Now it’s been fitted, there is the mother of all vibrations from the front of the car when I go over abut 15mph. Clutch in or out, it still does it...

Have you moved to Spain?? I haven’t seen sun in the west for weeks man!

Be like watching Mr Burns fall down the stairs.

@MarcB personally, I’d be putting that up at £15,995 maybe even £16,995 and aiming for very close to that. There’s a lot of polished turds out there, and we all know yours won’t be.

My van had a decat, one silencer from a 2.2 accord diesel and the rest was straight piped. Was stupid loud tbf but I only had one warning for noise all day. You’ll be fine.

You say ‘we’….. You didn’t contribute to that conversation I’m hoping?? #cslivesmatter

I’m assuming the MPG is what it is (not that good) because you’re doing loads of relatively short journeys? It’s about 160/170 to fill up my X5 but I get 750+ miles out of that on the motorway though. It’s appalling around town. 😂 (I’m still contemplating one of these, I really want one)

My van does 1L per track day but my car doesn’t use any at all. (Both 182 engines)

What was the outcome of this?

f**king hell Dave.

The reason I asked is because I’ve ‘outgrown’ all my jeans since I stared wearing shorts. 😂

Does anyone know if Javelin allow shorts and T shorts on track?? Not done a Javelin event for years.

I now just need a quick road test, a spanner check and then the mother of all cleans and she’s good to go. I think I’ve spent nearly £4K on it this month. f**king sickening. If it wasn’t for CSF I wouldn’t have even opened the door on it this year. This forum has a lot to answer for.

The guy that owns the Cummins one has a Twisted 110 as his daily. He’s actually in Italy in it now. I honestly can’t think of a worse car to drive to Italy. 😂 (sorry)

My X5 will be there. If you want to chuck my tools and s**t in your golf and fold the seats down and Kip in it you’re more than welcome.

Mad panic rush - just realised I’ve only got about 2 weeks to get the car ready….

It’s an actual Landrover colour, Keswick Green.

It’s been painted, new wheels, new suspension, new interior, new glass… It now looks like this, and has a manual gearbox. (And for the record, towing a 6.0 Landrover on a heavy as f**k farm trailer was sketchy as f**k! 😂)

I really like the Fiat 500 E’s. They look really cool. Can you wait for the Renault 5? That’s supposed to be cheap.

CSF was booked before this ‘something else’ though. Where are your loyalties Marc with a C? Where??

Delivery in 4 months is a lie. Unless the cars are in stock and physical, they have no idea how long they will take, they’re lying. My best mate works for Mini and he might have to leave because they cannot get cars. 6 week wait has turned to 6 months. 6 months is now 15 months. A car...

That is f**king insane money. I appreciate that your situation means it doesn’t cost you that much, but this is precisely the reason EV’s are going to take a while to get popular. My £3k car that does 22mpg looks cheap as chips now.

I absolutely love these, I think they’re brilliant. Good work sir. The perfect commuter car imo.

I was talking to @riz friend about it the other day. He lives Birmingham iirc and went to Cornwall on holiday. 20 minutes on the big charger takes him from 20% to 85%. Enough time to stop at the services and have a wee/food/drink etc and then you’re on your way. He said that people get hung up...

And that’s the correct attitude. Because you’re normal. But Brian and Sally, who are nearly retired and use their car for more than 100 miles a week maybe once a year but are still complaining that EV’s don’t offer enough range are the issue. Once people can understand that with a bit of...

@The Boosh! - are they available to order yet??

I use 15’s because track tyres are almost half the price of the same in 16’s.

Expect your phone to melt. I advertised my mums car (identical spec age and mileage to yours, same colour too) for £1495 and I could have sold it 20 times over.

I’ve used it on pink transits, down to a 1972 fiat 500. It is heavy, that’s my only gripe. But it does the job no problem. My mate has a really expensive One (can’t remember the name, it’s red and grey) and it’s sooooo nice to use. But he uses it every day. For the 2 (at most) times a week I...
