  1. apparently the place top gear use has a 70mph restriction and no overtaking
  2. Happy birthday dude, have a good one
  3. i read that with cars like impreza's and evo's that when the knock sensor detects lower octane fuel the ecu kicks in to run the engine at lower power output to preserve itself, i'll see if i can find the article but as bourkey says your mate can't prove it was your fault and i really don't think it was. A suburu system is definately designed to cope with 95 fuel. To google. EDIT seems to be a grey area but from my reading the minimum octane is 93. just follow the expert advice of bourkey
  4. that lambo was maybe the dumbest thing i ever did... can't escape it...
  5. damnnnnn look at it trying to pull off the dyno. the whole engine jumps when he lets off the throttle
  6. Gt swift is like 100bhp stock. they are mosters. especially the one in banzai this/last month.
  7. Some various photo's from SA
  8. yeah, but building mods aren't easy. i've buggered up a few times editing the code, so unless its an easy one i just stick to the vehicles now I'll post pics up in a bit
  9. Lol. it makes it so tempting when a tube comes at you with a baseball bat and your holding a rocket launcher... "well i ain gonna let you walk away now am i" My san an is totally modded as i showed galliano. i have a racetrack suspended above the sea. and some pretty nice cars too. ill post pics if anyone wants to see
  10. didn't have you down as the psycopathic murdering type jo...
  11. when i got my starlet it had a burst radiator. and the coolant bottle was constantly empty. i ran it like this for 2 months and it had run with it for a long time before i got it cause the rust was ridiculous under the bonnet. never had any problems. the temp guage remained at half. my radiator coolant seemed to drop to a certain level and then remain there. so it is possible to run it without, as long as you top it up frequently. Edit. Not to second guess rick by the way as i'm not sure how safe it is on a track car, which i assume will get hotter
  12. omfg... was he drunk? i like how he has the t.v turned down. as if not to disturb people. but he is a tad tone deaf i think... but don't get me wrong. its funny. and muchos respect to the guy filming it for keeping quiet the whole time
  13. it had this ridiculous design flaw with the intake system. the pipe it 1 inch from the headlight. so its very restrictive. once i took said pipe off (which had the resonator attached) it goes much better and even has a nicer sound.
  14. lol hell yeah but can't beat the gangsta cat.
  15. yeah it was rented. but what the hell would you be thinking...
  16. Check this out http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/motor...icle1097215.ece all i could think was owwwwww. and im not even a ferarri fan
  17. yeah bourkey your right, they are lighter. i'm the same as you the first car i ever drove was my mums 01 micra (not new style thank god) and they were good on fuel and good to drive. but have REAAAAALLY loose suspension. and the fact that im like 6'5 made it a tad uncomfortable
  18. as far as i know the power gains/loss depend on the actual decat. if you lose too much backpressure in a N/A engine it doesn't expell the exhaust fast enough and essentialy bogs it down. so it has to be the right size, its like using a custom exhaust with a huge bore. you end up losing power over a certain diameter
  19. its an easy mistake to make. how many people have heard of a starlet compared to the number of people who know micra's. and they sound like knobs
  20. Sent off a letter to the solicitor today expressing my displeasure at the current circumstances. both me and my dad reckon somebody cocked up when telling us to get rid of the car. so that's why it has come back to us.
  21. LMAO... somebody missing a toyota badge?
  22. nah it was more along the lines of "im sorry. look what i did to your car." Look! Look what you did? i frikin felt it... I've learned a few lessons from this. 1. take pictures 2. get independant witnesses 3. shaft the insurance company before they shaft you... I managed to keep calm at the time, but i swear if somebody runs into me tommorow i may not be so forgiving knowing what you have to go through for your inconvenience
