    Road to LeMans 2010 (12th/13th June)... you game?

    I'm out of this one. Won't be about to sort out the organisation of it. Have fun guys and gals!

    Tax on a DCI if you put a sport engine into it.

    It wasn't quite as bad as that you imbecile, but diesels do NOT like to rev in the same way that petrols do. They work in different ways. As before, I'm out. Bunch of f*cking clownshoes on this forum at times!

    I'm out. Obviously F1 have it all wrong, and the fastest cars in the world are diesels. I <3 CS. This place is comedy!

    Right. Let me explain this simply: Diesel engine's biggest flaw is it goes nuts at 2000rpm, and then runs out of puff at 3000rpm. Decent petrols start at around 2500, and carry on to 5-6000rpm!

    Short power band, good petrol engine. What's difficult about it?

    Tuning was spot on, but having to stop every 100rpm to change gear means it'll never be as quick as a good petrol.

    And the economy doesn't get any better TBH. My Megane went from being able to do 70mpg on a very delicate run to doing 50 if I really, really tried.

    I'd also like to point out that I've done more than 'remapped' a diesel. They produce more filth. Every time. And they're never as quick as you think. I was running 300-odd lbft in my Megane, and it obliterated my boss' Golf GTi off the line. Come 30mph, he'd sail past me. I'd not see him...

    Time to face the music...

    For what it's worth, I'd go to Birchdown. I've seen BTM pick up the pieces that 'some specialists' leave behind. Read into that what you will!

    You can retrofit them quite easily. There's enough bent Sports to get them off a scrapper.

    Clutch is massively better on the 100, but the stick looks like a sex toy.

    Yep. They're not bad cars, just think someone needs to make their way back to planet earth if they think they can keep pace with a 1*2!

    BBS on the Trev? And how does that work?!

    Not a massive fan of the 100 because they're too rare - you have to compromise too much if you're after something fairly specific. Reliability of my 80s were impeccable. Did 80-odd to the gallon too.

    I like the thought. Stop it! You'll get me in trouble! :(

    2 dCis, 2 182s and a V6.

    Want. But I'd get castrated if I spent a grand on wheels. It'd have to be the blacks as well.

    Because I've owned 5 Clios?

    But 'it's not an issue' - evidently it does still happen.

    19" is too big for my plans. Probably won't tuck under the arches either. And they're a few hundred notes a pop.

    Got there in the end, and no, and no. Not at that money!

    Are they 18s, and are they for sale? Link is dead.

    Want. Did they do them in 18s?

    I'm going that way. Plus I've got to think about issues of clearing calipers on Audi rims.

    Wheels. I have the opportunity to get these: What do you reckon?
