What have u wasted
- Thread starter myky16
- Start date
Audi TT 180
BMW 530
Pug 206 gti
Saxos of all types - god i hate that car.
Paul
I havent had a chance of full on races, but ive managed to keep up with much more exotic machinery around my favourite roads by brands hatch. Ive been all over an FTO, various engined E36 BMWs, and the best of the lot, a Hyundai Scoupe
Tim - How would you rate the fit/ finish and general reliabilty of the Noble. Also, do yo know when theyre bringing out the more track biased models? Cheers
Rob
The fit/finish on the Noble is very good, better than a TVR definately, although not quite up to Ferrari standards. The track model with sequential shift and running higher boost is actually available to order now, wont be a standard production model though. Price has yet to be finalised but dont expect much change from £70k. I have considered that but am selling the M12 now for something that will run rings around it on the track
If it was a classic shape STi it could be anything from an STI 1 to STI 6 - not many ones or twos about so if standard it would be 276bhp provided it was run on superunleaded and octane booster. No offence but the scooby you "wasted" was probaly and uk spec and a sh*t driver to boot ! Not taking anything away, cups are quick !
loada cars in my valver,
in my cup quite a few but ones that i can think of at the mo:
PRELUDE (he was well impressed) he thought he was the nads with his japo stickers on the door
VTS
Rover 220 turbo
Cooper S ish, we were muckin about not a proper race, but i wouldve won!
new 325 beemer (a punk young driver thought he was a bad boy cuttin up old ladies!)
One of them huge new mercs big engined kompressor thing, it was rapid tho!
almera gt things 2.0
Oh and my mates Sierra fully tuned saph cossie! 4x4, altho he stalled! LOL!
in a moment i still cannot believe or understand, a Porsche 968 Clubsport that absolutely could not pass my 172 from a standing start, despite his engine sounding like the pistons were about to shoot through the bonnet at any moment. We got up to about 70mph, then I slowed as we going to soon be entering a 40mph zone. Maybe beyond 70mph, he would have taken off, but until that point, he was deeply humbled.
As I had my butt whipped in the Golf once by an old fart driving a Toyota Picnic (a Picnic!), this kinda redresses the balance.

I had a tusstle with an FTO GPX, it was close, but I was going steady in 3rd then he booted it up my arse so I dragged the revs from about 3k upto redline, I should of put it into 2nd gear, Live and learn!!
Im sure I could of out paced him but im still learing how to drive my Cup, (1600 miles so far) Its way different than waiting for a sea of tourque coming from a MR2 Turbo, you have to be much more of a hooligan in the CUP.
I sometimes feel that im almost killing the engine but you guys say nail it so I do!
Thank god for my 3 year warranty
Scott
I blew away a 300bhp Scooby, then met the owner / driver the following week, dam nice bloke. He even posted it on Scoobynet just after the little run in.
Others include a Boxter S, wouldnt let me past first of all so I went round the outside of him coming off a roundabout and buy the time I got to 160 he was a small dot in my rear mirror.
Beemer M3 had a go and was actually quite quick, until my second turbo came on line and I strolled past.
I tryed to get a Carrera turbo to play but he wasnt interested, so Ive yet to test a Porker turbo.
I think i can remember you name, it seems familiar. The are a few idiots on scoobynet, but on the otherside there are a lot of people on there who are very decent and know a thing or two about carsQuote: Originally posted by CarlosTheJackel on 28 January 2003
I dunno Jonto im on scoobynet quite a lot and im sure there are 5 year olds claiming to own imprezas on there (mental age anyway)
MK2 16V Gti
My cousins westfield (before it was properly tuned)
Bug eyed scoob
VTS / VTR
G reg 325 X 2
More but its 6 months since my car left me.
I dont like to post about cars Ive beaten these days as you get a lot of "I dont believe you". Most of the time I race cars from standstill at the Severn Bridge tolls - nearest thing there is to 1/4 miling on the open road (ten lanes go into three on the flat over about a 1/3 mile):
Audi TT 225bhp - very surprised given the 4WD; I pulled two cars on him from a perfect (my best ever I reckon) standing start. Had the correct wheels/exhaust/quattro badging. Very close.
530i - dead impressed as he was trying and I had a passenger (Smoothed Clio).
106 GTi - the guy I bought my car froms new car! - would make a very good match up to the legal limit for a standard 16v.
Saab 9-3 3.0 V6 TDi - my mates new car, was pushing me out of the roundabouts though!
Mk1 172 - the closest match Ive ever come across.
Lost to many motorbikes; Mat Browns 2.0 tuned 16v in terms of top speed; was with an old GS300 Lexus up to 120, when he pulled away nicely!

It is an Auto, yes. But there are just as many Jap manuals out there too. The rare ones are the UK 6 speeds, most UK ones are either auto or later ones are tiptronic.
Bikes... Thats a hard one. They are alot quicker off the mark, but I did have a tussle with an R1 last week and over 130 I was pulling away. Anything under than and he could quite easily stay with me. But flooring it from around 50 ish, he would pull out a bit on me. Alot closer than I thought though.!
