lobotomy

I like the wheels, very japanese! Where did you get your carbon bonnet? How's the catch? heard some you should really reinforce with a set of bonnet clips save it popping open at any time? If it were a polished lip on your wheels it would rock!

Only thing I'm not too sure about are your wheels mate, rest looks pretty damn good!

Think I got sunburned at just about every show I went to last year, and that was a lot!

The cops tailed one of my bros pals, put on the lights and told him he was weaving - he just replied he was trying to avoid all the bloody potholes (not my tack in that situation - I'd be all yes sir, no sir) so they started telling him that he was speeding, but he knew for a fact that he wasn't so just kept telling them he was doing 30. They eventually realised he wasn't drunk, and knew he wasn't speeding so left it at that!

Getting a normal colour (in my opinion) would devalue the car, unless you got it inside and out and make a proper job of it! Would still be cool. The black wheels with the red lip look really mean! I'd prob get anthrecite coloured ones to suit, but you always have to toy with the idea of white TE37's!!!

Hah, I'm not that far away I Only stay in ayrshire! But to travel the 175mi to aberdeen for a couple hours Don't mind going to crail or knockhill because we can make a day of it! I'll probably be at those two a good few times over the summer... My mates say every show I come to it turns out a scorcher! have to admit I don't think I've had many wet days!

Yeah, I'd really like a red one if the opportunity crops up. Worth paying a premium for I think.

backbox, muffler, rear silencer... the big thing at the end

I always love the ricer/big block arguments. They both have their validities, but each is so different. Saw a video of Smokey from Top Secret having a shot in a sierra cossie putting out about 500BHP, when he got out he was like "yeah it's ok but we've got faster/quicker in Japan" - Then they told him it was only a 2l and his opinion changed. Same with 390ci(6.5l) being compared with an RB26, it can't really be done

I think the hendrix colours are quite good - orange and a petrol'ish blue. But too busy looking. I don't mind Pop Orange so much, I just don't like reading on the orange background, hurts my eyes a bit.

No I totally understand where you're coming from - And it's my side of the argument usually too. But always worth a try if the flow isn't going over the core anyway. A 10" spal fan will flow 1070cfm - There's probably a way I could work out the flow over the IC through the scoop (but I can't be bothered, it's the weekend!)

Someone posted a topic about this the other day but it was for Ireland. I knew there was something like it in the mainland UK - Guess you proved it! Doh!!

You could always toy with the idea of putting a small (equal size to the core) electric fan on top of the IC. Me and my mates have had discussions about the possible flow restrictions over the IC core when moving, but don't reckon they'll be too bad (especially with what you're saying about the RX7 IC not being in the perfect position ecksjay) There's a guy running a ST185 GT4 in barbados with over 400BHP and still the OEM TMIC with a spaal electric fan on top. (400+ with a top mount is damn good for a ST185)

ARC defo put a lor of R&D into there coolers. But they're rare as rockinghorse shit!

What colour forum are you seeing? blue (IPB Default) or orange (PopOrange)?

hmmm. Aberdeen's a bit far away for one night for us I think.

Yeah that's the one

Just look how smart a 5 can look!!

The site's going orange though mate Just put in the url I gave you for the pop orange theme, because I think that's the way it's going permanently. (Even though the blue one's cooler )

That's pretty cool - Was gonna say I had seen it before I even watched the clip but it was a dif vid altogether, the one I had seen was an american guy with a saloon civic, drifting on the road... it was more funny than cool though

Kinda - There was one called lollipop or something, it was pink and orange... It hurt the eyes though. Suppose I need to get used to poop-orange then. Dunno, I'm not such a fan after using litebar for so long. Still like the blue IPB theme though too.

P.S Now that I'm on my bro's comp I see the problem with the title bar at high resolutions. He knows more about the web side than me, I'll ask him if there's any way to solve it for all screen resolutions.

Like which skin? The IPB Default? I always quite liked it too. Though thinkning Geo wants to keep PopOrange??

What £300 shipped? surely not??? I'd probably expect another couple hundred shipping and taxes since it's outside the EU so that makes it quite an expensive bonnet! Still a very nice one though

Was yours meant to be transparent round your car gaz? Knew I had seen one somewhere that had given me the idea
