I feel ancient by comparison, got mine new in November 2003 LOL
Mine's so good I'll never get rid until it meets the armco.
Welcome...as said already, take it easy over the winter. Slippery roads from all the salt and s*** they throw down make them move about quite a bit.
Mate had his delivered with this
when it should have had this
Looks so much better now.
Agree with no spoiler at all looking sh*te...you've got to have something or else as said, it looks bloated and unfinished.
Genuine?
He's only got feedback of 46 and as has been said there's a lot of fakes out there apparently.
I want to get a set of these...will probably buy from Play just to be sure.
This'll be one of them stupid comments then I think...
Why do rear end shunts happen? Because the car in front slows down quicker than the car behind usually.
So, if you want to learn from this experience you have to ask yourself why she managed to stop and you didn't?
Driving too close...
Definitely makes a noticable difference in my opinion.
Consider this...
When maintaining a constant speed all the engine has to work against is wind and rolling resistance, therefore uses next to bugger all fuel unless you're on a motorway.
Accelerating however, uses masses of fuel as the...
But that's the point isn't it? It's a radio station as opposed to specific music on demand.
You select an Artist or genre, then it plays track after track based on that as a theme?
I searched on Rush and what came through in on my Rush 'radio station' was pretty spot on IMO.
I had a play about with it this morning and ended up leaving it running for hours.
I've got all my AV running through a Sony 6.1 1,000w so cranked it up...can't fault it.
Yep. ticking over at idle it's under barely any load at all, so doesn't get warmed through and sits there ticking away in its most ineffiecient state gently grinding everything away.
Driving it when just started will still wear the engine, but it will heat up far quicker.
The IAM slant is to...
1. Yep, mine's done that right from the beginning. You just have to drive around it until it decides it's warm enough and starts behaving.
2. Probably not, mine's a Yozzasport decat and it sits up nicely.
3. Can't comment, now on my 3rd set of standard springs/dampers.
:D
I did. The first time I sat in a Clio was once it had been delivered.
Evo had a 172 Cup long term and they said at trackdays it drew the longest queues for passenger rides whilst soaking up all the abuse with ease.
That was enough for me, they got it bang on.
Agreed I misunderstood on the synchromesh thing.
I didn't misunderstand the reason I and many others heel and toe on the road in whatever car they drive.
Plus you get the added benefit of not using your clutch as a braking surface that slows the car.
:rasp:
The reason all of them do this is smoothness and balance and that's why it can be beneficial in any situation. Nothing whatsoever to do with the synchromesh...that would be double de-clutching.
No one's mentioned feel and sensitivity yet.
There's no need for most to have a raised pedal, you just need to be able to roll your foot off to the right to blip the throttle, while maintaining a constant pressure through the brake padel beneath your rolling foot.
Feel and sensitivity...
They've only got themselves to blame.
They sat on their arses getting fat off of the PS2 and GT3 et al, starving a software industry of a next gen platform so desperately needed.
So MS nip round the flank and seriously get the jump on them with the 360.
Regardless of which is technically...
Calculate away all you want fella, but that video proves visually that past 6,500 rpm in 4th, the speedometer accelerates no faster than it does in 5th at the same speed.
:D
There's no optimum that applies to all gears...at high speeds as drag comes into play so short shifting can be more effective plus the different spacing/drop in revs between each gear makes the change point for each shift vary.
I've found that in the lower gears (2nd + 3rd) it's often worth...
