SR17

Wow! I always thought normal driving they'd give 1-2mpg better but drink more when you put your foot down?

Good news then , thanks for that advice

Would you recommend a custom remap then or a Revo? And is there such thing as an "eco remap"?

I was reading up a while back on different maps available for them, and i think i do remember seeing an "eco map".

I'll have to dig out an e-mail I received from this company who do mobile mapping. Had a good read on their site and for £260 would come to me and map the car! get it to 180 BHP and some awesome torque

soo very tempted! lol. I'll try and find it for you amjad

Looks sweet mate!

I have a 130 TDI Leon for commuting to work and its excellent!

Do about 90miles a day on the motorway, cruising at about 90/100 and still returns 50mpg!

They feel real torquey aswell and pick up from like 1000 rpm, but do give up the ghost at about 3500.

Looking to get mine remapped but a bit concerned about the clutch, as I really dont fancey forking out for one of them atm!

keep us posted

adam

adam

Adam

adam

I now see

Cheers luke, I was getting confused as to what made some cars premium and some standard!

Bit poo you cant do it on all cars though

thanks again

Hi guys

Im sorry if this seems like stupid question, but on GT5 how come I cannot change the wheels on my cars?? It always says "you cannot change wheels on a standard car"? What do i need to do in order to be able to change wheels?

I have quite a few cars and seem unable to change the wheels on all of them!!??

I dont play on the ps3 much so dont shoot me down!!

Cheers

Adam

My SR cost £760 when I first passed a few years back now.

I still own an SR as a second car now which my 17 year old bro uses occasionally, and with him on my policy it is £1600!!!

one word = JOKE

adam

As the other lads have said, dont throw money at it, unless you can afford to of course

The starlet can be great little car on track/ b-roads, but spend money on brakes and a decent suspension set-up. Can then outbrake/ take corners much quicker than bigger cars.

I have tracked my first SR and my bro's current one quite a lot and its amazing that a pretty underpowered car can keep up with much bigger stuff in the twisities Of course having a turbo is a lot more fun, but as you said being young not everyone can afford a tubby!

At the end of the day, its your car so do what YOU want! ;)

Adam

Very nice, I love these, fair play to you Enjoy it

adam

haha quality mate

Turned all the controls and stuff off and its a beast of a game. The sounds the cars make are very realistic and hammering through the woods is great fun, graphics are also really good

Playing it now, i really like it. The steering though is a little to light for my liking, and when you get into a drift you cant see to hold it very well without the power cutting out, there is probs some way of changing it just havnt had a good look yet.

But its brilliant I think.

Getting my Ken Block on as we speak

adam

granted it is pretty narrow but surely going up it slightly side on would have maybe helped haha

What ;)

Surely he could have seen it was a pretty big bump.

What a shit driver! Should have tried at a bit of angle?! Thought the man driving the one of the most important people in the world would have a bit more common sense haha

Just have a good time mate, if your only doing two 15mins sessions then you shouldnt have anything to worry about really.

I cant see you having the time to look at gauages the whole way round

Just read tyres pressures before you go out, keep fluids topped up and test her out, you'll love it

adam

Agree with that, i bought a vtr as a cheap run around for uni and to just abuse, sold it a few weeks back, thank god!

Was very good fun though in the corners!

adam

good luck with the degree! i'm in my final year and revising for my exams like right now. its dreadful! i dream about michael porter ha

Good old 5 forces and competitive advntage shizz haha

Feel for you man, my course is all coursework so got out of all the revision. Hope it all goes well for you

adam

lols my degree is finally finding uses!

did u sign a contract?

if so do u have a copy?

r u sure u've never recieved any warnings before?

do u know your job title and job description?

is there a cleaner?

is the business part of a chain?

can u go over the guys head and talk to a member of senior management?

Good advice there

I do business management at uni but cover stuff like this.

If the guy has a history and a few "run ins" with business related issues before, then that may also work in your favour, but you cannot just get the sack without prior warning etc, or not being told you are doing something wrong.

Let us know what happens

adam

Sounds like this could deserve be a big LOL ! Cant wait to see the pics!

Excellent work though mate , keep it up

adam

ohh my god!! i need that skyline in my life

Nice one mate, good to see her on the road and you loving it.

Cant wait to see it in the flesh soon

adam
