Ans : Only quality ones are specially fabricated "rigid" types which dont distort - not OMP s**t as i 1st stated in the original post ?????????
Im sure that welding a bar from turret to turret will be the ultimate but im sure there are not many wanting to have their car welded.
Ans : Exactly - most are for show and never put to extreme track use as we both know especially a 21 year old girl that has never raced her car - you and i know it will be for show and nothing else.
Its nice to see that you are talking technical again and not boasting about you engineering skills, your car or guessing peoples technical capacity.
Ans : anyone can go and buy a fast car and track it ( like you & many others ) . To actually build your own and outperform modern day high performance cars takes great skill and engineering knowledge. This is done by testing products such as the mentioned "strut brace" and through a process of elimination finding out which excells others tested on a track or strip. I and many others have found that cheap parts such as the OMP brace doesnt help a bit, you have to spend lots of money to achieve supremity or build the parts to your own spec and satisfaction of which i and many others have done.
Merry christmas btw - and take it easy in that Family saloon of yours.

As stated having an OMP strut brace fitted correctly does perform better than none at all and there have been many to agree on this. The cup racer have OMp strut braces on the front as per the pic in the thread, please dont say they are crap and dont work as its rubbish. FACT.
Regards to building a car from scratch, then alls you have done is but a different manufactures engine in the car (common place). FACT.
Your statement "will whoop any production car on the qtr mile or on track" seems to have change to "will outperform modern high performance car" WELL DONE FOR REALISING IT WAS UTTER RUBBISH.
The Audi is a company car and a very nice one too (50mpg).....for me it all about enjoying yourself and thats down to your driving abilities and not your BHP.
Drop in for a mince pie anytime......

Even a stock FQ300 would be quicker in 'real world' driving conditions
As for a modified one....no chance
TheJesus said:for the record Yoz couldn't keep up round Brunty... I don't know how good a driver Matt is, but I'll guess that Yoz is the more experienced track driver... i've seen this car waste a 450bhp Skyline, so I cant see an Evo being a problem... unless at the lights, but most roads that you are able to do that on will be more than a 1/4 mile, so the Evo's going to get it's arse well and truely handed to it.
as for strut braces dont bother, waste of time on a road car... good if you track it I suppose and like dents in your roof...
j3ned said:Dont get involved in things you know nothing about. Here is an FQ300 with a 331bhp upgrade. Check out his qtr times -
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/411217
Thats half a second slower than mine with the same hp and 4WD + ive recorded the same 0-60 time as him as well - you lot are digging yourself a f**king hole now
j3ned said:ok then Mr C W - is a country road are a dual carriage way real world conditions ?? Line one up - im taking it you own one then ?? - what model is it ?? are or you just assuming this because you dont own either car - thats my guess !!!
And i dont race the car on public roads as its bloody stupid - if you want to race take it to a track - now when youve got a car that can compete come back and argue some more
j3ned said:Damn right there are better cars out there - thats what has given me the inspiration to build my car - i wont stop till i get in the 10's and hopefully be the 1st FWD car in the UK to achieve this.
Now what do you drive ?????
TheJesus said:what's more of a scally car? one with ridiculous wings and spoilers and fog lights bigger than the average mans head, or a completely bog standard
Clio? you know what a chav is? I don't think a chav would have a TT powered Clio, they would be antagonising passers by for bus fare change...

j3ned said:Yeh fair do's mate
Ive had enough of this now - im sick of dick heads that have owned 1 fast car in there entire life that theyve bought in stock trim been to Halfords and bought some discs and pads and done a day at oulton park and think they are Tommi f**king Makinen.
If you can do a bit bring, your car to the Pod, York, oulton or donny and put it through its paces and lets see what you can do. Until that very day carry on playing with your play station in one hand and your c**k in the other.
Later

Regards to owned fast cars then for me
17-205 GTI
18-CAV GSI Turbo
19-SAPP COSSIE
20-ESCORT COSSIE
21-SAPP COSSIE (lots of Andy Rouse touring car bits)
22-SAPP COSSIE / CLIO WILLIAMS / SAAB TURBO CONVERTABLE (all 3 fitted in the garage)
23-LEXUS IS200 (Company car) SAPPH COSSIE
25-BMW 325 SPORT (Company car) EVO 4
27-BMW 330d SPORT (Company car) EVO 6
Now A4 Sline TDI and the GF's cup, plus my Dads BDG Mk2 Escort (not in compentition as i was the co-driver)
People who want to challenge all the time just feel uncomfortable with there abilities and compensate with BHP.
MMmmm mince pie and cream.....
Floodie said:hi ya - im interested in buying an OMP strut brace for my Cup, are they any good?.. Thoughts please.
Thanks
j3ned said:A4 ?? A Cup and a MK2 escort ( daddies ) - you takin the piss?????????
Cant believe ive been arguin this out with you LOL
j3ned said:LOL just found out you had some old EVO 6 2yrs ago - absolute class
This gets better
c__w said:A 350bhp Clio should be pretty fast round the 'Ring as there are places where big power is needed especially the couple of uphill sections where its flat out for ages which is where my 205 struggled as it was so steep.

Autronics ECU
HKS Hiper Exhaust
Magnex D/pipe
HKS Race Suction kit
Decat
Eibach suspension
PF discs and pads
360/370BHP and approx 330ft/lb torque.
It would probabley be as fast in a straight line and would certainly handle and brake better than your car round the track but again who cares. Oh and looks so much nicer........
j3ned said:Shame its gone - sure would like to Post this thread at the pod and then whoop your ass in front of the crowd. And it wasnt 370 bhp - stop telling lies lol
j3ned said:LOL - your tellin lies - have you got a RR print out ??
I will study it later with a Mr Kipling
