holy crap! i hope youve changed your pants. Seriously sorry to hear that dude, thank god youre ok! and your car!

Just dont go over 40 and youll be fine! first gear it is then.....;)

i removed my bee sting aerial and got an extra 15 mph, getting closer to the magic 200 !

but the question should be: whose the better driver? ;)

but the flies would create a vortex effect sucking the car through the atmosphere, would it not?

but, thats why they purposefully make the paint so thin on the fronts of the clio as it stone chips easily, creating automatic rivet heads. An ingenious design i think.

eww, she could get an infection from someone elses dirty fingers!

surely it must make some difference, maybe 5 mph top end? you can feel how much more smoother the paint work is. Tomorrow im going to try and fold my wing mirrors in, good for another 10 mph i reckon top end...;)

hippychick, how can your fingers be in your ears if youre typing? ;)

Definately/hopefully (?) be there! in other words i wanna be there! Just washed and waxxed my iceberg and toasted an elise on 97/98 octane cocktail so im in the mood!

I hate my new rear tyres!!! oh no. What have i done? ive gone and bought a pair of boat-makers that have literally made my car into a boat. There a bridge where you go under to enter a chicane near my house and on the old michelins i could nail the throttle in 2nd and come out the other side...

......or Chewbaka? congrats on getting a nice car btw!

well whatever youre going to get will need lots of torque with a big stereo to haul around. How about a Rover SD1 V8? theyre quite cheap and have big boots. ;)

Yep even stevens. Thats what happens when 2 cars have around +/-5 bhp per tonne between them.

I think its the lack of friction wax gives at high speeds. Im pretty confident i could crack 150 with 2 coats of wax on.... although acceleration is forfitted due to the extra weight dont spose you can recommend any thing better than wonder wheels to clean my alloys with? i took one of them...

Kiss my face! or should it be, kiss my exhaust!!? because after you decided to rush up behind me when that car was in front and it moved away, how many car lengths did i put between us? its so pleasing to watch exotica disappear in your rear view! admittingly, they are only 120 bhp 1.8s...

ive raced 3 different CTRs, 2 of which over a tonne and neither pulled away. Both were even all the way to terminal velocity. None could gain or pull away from each other. Especially up a long hill when he tried to overtake and if anything fell back a bit. (about 25+ miles of dual carriage...

nice work, theres a new "Southend Slayer"in the making...... When you say he won, did he get like 1 car in front due to his abrasive start?

here we go again... http://www.saxosportsclub.com/forum/posts.asp?threadid=91529&forumid=1http://www.saxosportsclub.com/forum/posts.asp?threadid=91529&forumid=1

i think theres one in farnborough - industrial estate jap place. Another near Froxfield i believe - near to pug performance. I wouldnt be able to tell you where they are tho, sorry dude.

is that whilst hes still running it in? or with the banana a la exhaust mod.

surely a set of "Desert Duallers" would be more suitable? ;)

BenR said they were crap on his 16v. I recently bought some and at first they seemed to transform my car into a complete boat. The rear end has more body roll and the car felt disconnected from the tires. I was very distressed having spent £209 on 4 new Goodyear Eagle F1s. Now, theyve done...

or a golf gti, 205gti 1.6, or 205 XS, 106 xsi/rallye? Id rather have these over the others (VTR class i mean).

cool where are you based, just say "yes" if its near me (surrey) in case youre going to a semi-abanadoned air field. Ive been looking for an empty airfield for ages!

Oh no sorry to hear that. Glad youre ok tho (i think!). I aggree with the neck-brace/doctor, go get a brace, its worth looking like an insulated pipe for a week earning a couple grand ££££££

haha, i wonder how fast i could run the quarter mile holding an exhaust making a noise like one "rrrrrroooooooaaaar" Id get much better traction than anyones car tho

I think yours needs topping up if youve a couple of Os missing? i always check on the dipstick, its always lower than the computer says...... hope this helps

"I liked the Honda, but I didnt like it enough to part with 16 grand. I stepped straight into my then 172 and for the first time ever, after looking at a new car, I was happy with what I had." cliocupmeister - thats exactly the same thing i felt after i test drove one.....

no way! my dads new golf tdi pditdgtidiesel 150 has got those contiboats on. Ill give her a thorough test once the cars "run in".....
