hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooold on, correct me if I'm wrong Jim, didn't you have one of those Preludes already, before the Glanza???? Jeez man

getting there Good choice, I've always had a little "Crush" on those Era of Preludes, even though they're a bit Porky and have been well and truly raped by the "Fast & Furious" Ruffunes

you getting rid of the CRX Jim??? Jeez, you're worse than Mikey with cars

miss you more xx

I presume you've only been practicing...well...today cause you're 17 since yesterday, right??? Yeah right

Guildford

back off, I'm promised the first hugs I shall email Lydden again to see what sort of numbers we need to be eligible for a discount - either way, still not that expensive

yup :angry:

Well the trackday is on April 26th, anyone can go really, I'm just trying to get a group going so we can get discounts - emailed the person a few times, said she'd "get back to me" and it's been over a week now... I'll push for it again, though I can see a lot of people dropping out...maybe even me

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ryno, you were there too, I saw your Evo a-rockin' :angry:

i don't get it :angry:

duh, you were in the same car as me Chris :angry:

hmmm, the fact I was down in the South East for the weekend doesn't bode well for me...

you think the Duvet and pillows in my back seat are "Decorative"?? :angry: Ask Simon, they really aren't

name and shame the dirty little skanks

been there, done it, got rabies but I don't care.....oh, Rick's car tasted good too

yeah jeebus, the wind was crazy today

Ask Mark, tis his car in the picture

CLICKY!!1!1!!one1!!!

hahaha, evil yet sexy bitches ;)

unfortunately I got some already with the TuRD shifter honeybuns, sowwie ;)

decat made huge difference...it also turneed my omgwtfexpensive Hayward & Scott exhaust from low-key, refined sounding, to a Barry Boys special. It's not too bad, it's damn burbly for a 1.3L engine, and it makes a nice sound...but seriously, the Blitz Decat has multiplied the volume by 2 or 3 times, it's silly loud

yay! Thank joo master Tc, very honoured *sniff*

Thanks chap - only JAM Thing I have is the Actuator now ;) the FCC I bought used, ditto the Actuators (bought JAM ones liek 3 times now), been offered a JAM ECU etc...it's just a case of asking on forums and seeing what people have, or going via the Yahoo Auctions My car is officially a Yahoo Auctions/eGay/Junkyard car....not much of it came brand new! (even the car is from eGay )

Well said - and thanks Rick, Harry and Phil, I try to be as objective as possible, because in that sense no-one is going to argue with fact if they cannot prove otherwise - I study materials and construction methods as one of my modules of my degree, and I've studied about cars, srsly, since I could read. I haven't seen previous threads of this nature, but Harrison and Rick, for a fact, know a lot more about cars and perhaps the Starlet in particular than almost everyone on this forum...but perhaps they just got pummelled cause people thought it was "their opinion" And Phil, regarding the center section - well true, the Stress would be concentrated on the hub of the wheel, but regardless, no-one designs them to "Snap" from the center - it's preposterous, it's potentially lethal! Wheels will generically bend, crack, fracture etc....but NEVER, EVER (and I mean, extremely rare even in Topfuel dragsters) have I seen a wheel that just....SHEARS!! It just startles me to the core - how can acceleration, cause a wheel to snap?! On street radials?? It's scary to think - the force of acceleration PALES to that of cornering, impact of a hard object etc...and it's snapping from acceleration/braking. I reckon people just get Rotas cause a) they're too lazy to get the real thing, ;) it pretty much looks like the real thing but is much cheaper than the real wheel would be brand new...and I suppose c) they're lightweight, so they can pretend it's the real reason they're getting said wheels. That's opinionated, and people will obviously try to prove me wrong on it. No-one will get them cause they're known to be robust, they're high-tech and built with advanced techniques to achieve low weight and strength...no, it's going to be the above.
