drove? ;) Bad Sam!

now now Sam, your backtalk is what got you banned from Paseoclub, and created you oh so many enemies ;) I don't know why you even bought Rob's car, cost aside, as you of all people know how badly he treated it...

Sam, it cost me nearly £3000 for the transplant...I think cost effective doesn't really cover <---- that! Even if you carried out the work yourself, that's still £1000ish for parts. And I remember Rob saying the bearings were gone - it's not getting new bearings that's the issue, depending on severity you could've scored the crankshaft and so on...

didn't Rob say the Bearings were screwed anyway?

a virgin to the Dubai/Arab experience I see ;) ...I've lived in Saudi Arabia for 15 years, it's not too dissimilar...though I hate Dubai as it's lost all means of tradition and traditional values in the name of Commercialism. Bah

before Mikey says it - Pwnt

At least you had a choice - stupid Lesbianese guy in Saudi Arabia thought a "Degrade'" haircut style meant "Give me a Mullet"....bastard...

Down boy - you're too sexed up for a 14yr old, stop it

You mean the other way around chap? By increasing "Virtual Weight" (as Mark intriguingly calls it) at the rear, you will compress the rear suspension more, which would extend the front suspension slightly - it's really an Aerodynamic lift perse', but it's lift regardless! With the canards though the situation will be reduced - and as you rightfully said Geo, the suspension settings can be tailored to counter the effect to an extent

look like the Black Racing wheels I used to have? Or SSR Longchamps...very nice

kind of agree there, but I suppose the spoiler will help where the EP most needs it - high speed corners, where the very lightly loaded rear-end will prove skittish. He has canards at the front so that would restore some of the lift at the front end given by that gargantuan rear spoiler.

oh god he didn't buy that did he?? You can buy that and not my interior? :crybaby: Is the splash guard still there as Rob was supposed to sell it to me...

ohh my god&#33;&#33;, you've stalked me to here as well?!!? I'm scared ;) Hehe, hello tharrr x

I've got better things to moan about, like global warming and how the price of ice-cream at my favourite ice-cream parlour has gone up, preposterous. And I wasn't the only person to moan about you, I just moaned more than others...I get bored

indeeed, rich people, all of them

Says you Speed Racer

I have been in Dale's car when he had that engine in his car...to say it was "Mad" is an understatement, and I think he only had the K1 in at that point, or a K24, and he was having boost creep issues....but it was scary. My first and only ride (and viewing) of a Starlet GT

121mph GPS-Measured, illegally...in France, which I payed for but I didn't particularly care...cause it was France, and I was chasing others from the Le Mans convoy. Otherwise my Top Speed is self-limited to 70mph. When I had the 5efhe I didn't get much over 110mph at Goodwood or Silverstone Circuits, seeing as I have a C52, I should "theoretically" be able to reach 160mph (I think that's the gearing limit)...Bring on Bruntingthorpe

what would you say if I saw one of 15 F40 LM's in person, and have sat down in one of 272 (Belonged to a the ex-King's nephew or something) of 288 GTO's ever made when I did work experience at the official Ferrari dealer/garage in Saudi?

inspiring stuff, especially from a 16yr old! Shows what motivation can get you to

that is surreal

free alignments? Lucky bastid The Girder Rear Suspension prohibits the EP Chassis from ever having the sort of mid-corner adjustability and "Plantedness" of an EG6 Civic on a bumpy road, but you can get close enough

it's all upto what you personally need out of the car chap - don't feel obliged to chuck all the typical modifications on the car just cause it's what people say it's best - like Polyurethane Bushes - they'll help extract the final degree of accuracy out of the handling, but at the cost of ride comfort, do you want to sacrifice your comfort for a eschewing out a bit more out of your suspension? And so on...chucking every Brace, Bush and Bar won't instantly make the car a good handler - it'll help, but the alignment is especially needed, that will be the single most effective modification

Apart from Cruise Fiberglass Doors and Tailgate

sorry for the slightly abrupt way of putting it Geo, didn't mean that you knew nothing (it was more aimed at the legions of people that say what I mentioned above), but I felt you were missing a huge point with the front anti-roll bars, drunk or not true, i had a standard car, but it that barely means anything bar a lack of actual first hand experience, though with theory you'd know what to expect Joz, coffee? It was like 4am here when I wrote that!
