very tasty disks matey! what are they? how much? nice colour car btw!! ;)

dude, you need to upload that pic first. I cant access your desktop

what happens if you jump the lights? does it alter the timing etc?

how much do you reckon a spare wheel weighs? 16 kg?

problem is when you really wanna win a race, you forget all of that and just floor it from zero. Deep induction roar etc..... dont think its as quick when you stomp the throttle at low revs.

i put mine in second gear at 80 racing a Fiat coupe turbo once, oops..... never seen the needle jump so quickly! what a horrible noise "neeeeeaaaar!"

i know its not a valver but i find if i feed the throttle in and the floor it, it responds better just like aaronc says.

Cool, id have kept breaking my car to get that! but knowing my luck id end up with a micra. 37 miles? what on earth were they doing to it? i wouldnt have thought that fitting a new ECU and A/C fix would warrant such a long drive! Even when i worked for a subaru garage i took them to "dry them...

nice time there. And your engine is still tight. Did you see my friend go up in his grey Pulsar on standard rims? *** NRX - he got 12.54 at 109mph apparently.

ta very much on behalf of Stevie!

GirlRacer - as long as you rinse it off straight away i cant see it being too bad. Our drive way has taken a bit of a beating. Ive worked at a TVR garage where they used ultra strong acid and also the subaru place- they both used it on all of their customers cars for expensive valets. The...

weigh it.

if you think wonderwheels is bad, where i used to work driving and valetting pugs and subarus, they had strong acid, which was basically industrial horrible, do not get it on your hands, (no seriously dont get it on your hands) kinda stuff. I wore plastic glen gloves and it melted those! My...

ohwite stevie, owz it hangin? I believe stevies after the gear ratios for the mk.1 172 (mine). Although mine are probably a bit different (missing teeth).

ah i see! Good lad. They are amazing cars, not only do they look amazing, they sound it and they go like it. I got a ride in one a while back (philglover got to drive it the lucky bngg3r!), and the noise from the engine is fantastic. The amount of attention you get from people is, well, a lot!

Cool! its so nice thinking about it being delivered or in your case picking it up the next day. Building your hopes up and then sitting in the lovely new interior, smelling that new car smell, smiling whilst driving it in the sun. (sorry i sound like Roald Dahl, (Rolf Harris more like)) Then...

whats a V6? I got my dad to buy the golf gti diesel 150. Its not bad, but has a very narrow power/torque band, but inbetween 2-4 k rpm, it certainly shifts! i dont know why they gave it 6-speeds though? you have to keep stirring the box to get the best out of it. I found myself doing lots of...

oh right, ta very much! i was going to use wonderwheels, but ive found it to be a bit weak. Especially after working valetting cars using industrial eye stinger liquid.

Hey i like my black side strips! ;) (theyre lighter without the paint you know!) I wonder whether itl be 4x4 like the R32 and S3 etc.? Saw a Leon Cupra R tother day, it looked pretty nice - kinda "stocky" and aggressive. I might test drive one. Theyre dead tunable and with the help of a...

ok will do, cheers dude. Its weird light brown grease which i cant clean off. Hmmm.

wow. Looks cool. Itd look even cooler in silver ;) are they 4x4? what power? what engine? i need stats!!!

Hmmmm tasty. How much are they going for?

Love them both. Dont know what the build quality is like on the V6s, but from what ive heard its supposed to be better than mine. Driven a few P1s and theyre fast, but youll just have some modded Pulsar blow you away. Also theyre far too common (scoobys) - but i really love them. Tough...

i think it would be a good idea. TimO172 changed his mk.1 172 for a CUP

Favourite - old goodyear F1 eagles, (not the latest shape, the one before) and michelin pilot SX worst - latest goodyear F1s.

i bet the type R guy was gutted, he just bought an induction kit freeing up about 15 bhp alegedly!! ;)

ive raced one off the lights, he got away first (traction etc) then i clawed him in and overtook. Looked over and he was staring dead ahead. 2nd one was on a dual carriage way, he was actually racing a Focus and came up behind me, i thought - lets join them! we both dispatched the focus and i...

thats the 3rd elise scalp ive achieved, easy prey. Wouldnt wanna fight it out on a track against one though!

just bait some novas to launch on orange/red and theyl go hell for leather thinking theyve won and get pulled. Thatl side track the cops for a few moments

Cheers for the responses guys. I bought 4 new goodyear eagles and theyve now done about 250+ miles. I used to have michelins on the back (originals) and old goodyear eagles on the front, this was my favourite set up. Perhaps i should increase the tyre pressure a bit? or decrease? I...
