  1. 1. Motor Trend Road Test: Clicky We'll eventually add in articles reviewing the vehicle in this topic
  2. Umm, what? That is a bit overkill... I know about the crankshaft, I was in discussions with him but failed to get any information from the company that did it for him. His was certainly the most overkill setup I'd ever seen! I guess bagged out is the equivalent of "ripped it out of"...which AUSC did when I showed pictures of my garden hose in the engine bay...they all unanimously called me a bush/Bangla mechanic :harhar: Also, fixed
  3. The issue with seam-welding though is that at you gain structural rigidity at the expense of crash performance. It's all fair and well chasing ultimate specifications, but you should weigh the benefits first - in a crash, the spot welds are meant to split along the panel seams, thus disspating crash energy, seam weld these and a lot less impact energy is going to be absorbed by the chassis and be a lot more damaging in the end. And to what benefit? Granted, seam welding yields a very approximate figure of 10-15% extra body shell rigidity, but you'd be hard pushed to notice a difference if you'
  4. Ariel obviously got over that factor with their V8 Atom..
  5. Yup, as well as a vagina steering wheel - airbag looks like a newborn when it sets off Hmm, that's a bit graphic, even for me!
  6. What I meant is I couldn't tell if the symbol said Alpha or Beta, I'm pretty blind Not much - it's only a 5E-FE, albeit a 100bhp as opposed to the 89bhp UK ones. I'd try for £1000
  7. That was in Italy, saw it on the Italian news when it happened, pretty extreme and everything happened within the space of seconds. I can't remember if that was actually the result of mechanical failure or not, but a LOT of truck driver accidents, in Italy at least are caused by DUI (foreign driver's, not Italian!), a sickeningly large proportion... And also, what realistically could passers' by do? It's a raging inferno, I very much doubt any of them would have the experience/skill to intervene, and they're not going to risk themselves in such a high risk scenrario - the best thing to do i
  8. Lul, Nanjewbadger Why'd I call you that again??
  9. Wouldn't mind one, but not for that money - I can't see if its an Alpha or Beta though
  10. Yup, I've included all the links and a key for the abbreviated links, and if there were multiple links I selected the cheapest (I think that link would've been in bold) - but yeah, feel free to go through it, add to it, then I can add as well. I MAY revamp the full catalogue, or not, need ideas
  11. Go ahead - but double check the prices, they're doubtless FAR out of date now
  12. GT-Art's in Brighton, Skyline specialist but should be alright with the Glanza
  13. You'd have to ask Geo on the forum screen size, but I have plenty of space with my 17" laptop
  14. Get them from the catalogue file - it is the slowest loading p.o.s, but most of it is there, I'll add any missing; infact you could group the "Factfiles" relating to parts as a Catalogue even, a much quicker loading version of mine
  15. As far as I know, the Austrian ones were a dealer option, or came on a "Special Edition" Paseo - the one I pictured also has a cardomain page
  16. - Onderground Design Aggressor 2 kit - - TTE Front Lip - - Austrian Special Edition Lip kit - - Astina Invader kit ("Murcielago" look-a-like) - - Astina Japan kit - There's a few more on the catalogue, including a strange Yellow one from Poland or something (The kit was called "X-Tro" but it seems like the website is gone...shame, the rear spoiler was nice) and a couple from Australia, and I think its Nippon that has the "Lamborghini Murcielago" look-a-like kit too. Also, don't forget that weird kit to make the Paseo look like an MR2 that removes the rear windscreen
  17. Missed out a few like Onderground design (Ollie's), the MS Designs is actually a "Fun Company" one, and there's a couple more I think you missed from the catalogue, I can send you pictures; and the company is "Regulus Pro" - I'll delete the post when they've been added x
  18. Babe, you have no idea how much I'm like, itching like a crack addict - after Lydden Hill, I was supposed to do Bruntingthorpe by the end of the same month, and then in the summer, the Nurburgring, but that's when a piston oil control ring died and halted plans. I was also supposed to epin road trips, but again, to no avail. Once this thing is in good health, I will gladly come to Ireland, pies you and Jay as I've intimated so many times, and yeah, give a go at Kirky . I so cannot wait, like, my bank will hate me as I won't care, we ams de tracks. Also, need to practice my newly garnered heel
  19. How I deal with road rage: Shout, then carry on with my life How I don't deal with road rage: Do anything more
  20. Oh yes....I recently saw a JAM and Mine's ECU on the Auctions for a starter price of...£600 Gone are the days of having the ECU's for less than £200
