  1. cant get anyone to insure me tryed insurance factory and poopie, even with 2 years ncb they wont go near me "/
  2. right you know how walking is really un healthy (Y) for the first time in years the gf said lets go for a walk round some fields i was like okay i took hold of the two dogs as they "hurt her arms" if she walks them and off we set, i found amusement in the fact that both dogs wanted to lead, so i started letting one lad then holding it back to let the other over take and vice versa, so started running this is when the phone must have fallen out of my pocket. finished the mile walk got back and went home which is when i discovered no phone so i went out at 11pm pitch black with a torch to find my phone i kept ringing it but the dam thing was on silent, i failed to locate it so canceled it and phone insurance next day to be told i would receive a reconditioned "second hand iphone 3Gs" or a similar phone this annoyed me slightly so i put the phone down the idea of insurance surely means if you have insured a brand new iPhone this is what you should receive when claiming. i then thought i ll buy the new 4 as they are sexy and i was holding out for the 5... but the first ones released always have problems "/ upon buying the new iPhone 4 i discovered it has a smart little app on it called find my phone which places the where abouts of you phone on a map and allows you to take it off silent and make sounds ect this amused me but not as much as when i arrived home and there was a small plastic bag with the remains of my destroyed iPhone in it now when i say destroyed i mean destroyed it was in 10-15 pieces so i can only assume that a tractor going round the field had gone over it. never mind i have discovered the 4 ROCKS

  9. did SVA win it?
  10. or buy my hybrid td04/05
  11. it will be mapped after fiting so that shouldnt be a problem
  12. The 650cc injectors don't have to be run at capacity tho do they???? And I have the hks one atm that sits in the same place as the standard filter And yes thank you joz this has helped a lot (Y)
  13. yeah well there was only £20 difference i thought if i ever break it chances are more would want the 650cc than 550's "/ and think its like the tmd stage one onr 2 but i was like socks ran 200bhp on a standard ct9 and im running a power fc my friend at GBH motorsports mapped it they re well known round my way
  14. so this is the last mod to my glanza because i brought them before deciding to stop, according to the last map, i got 175bhp on hybrid and everything which i thought was low, anyway i ve now got 650cc injectors walbro pump and removing a/c but reading other peoples mod lists everyone seems to be getting lie 200bhp and the only difference i can see is the front mount filter but does it really make that much difference?
  15. 3 bar i thought???
  16. thinking exactly the same thing dude this tempts me a lot!!!! kudos
  17. so the leads so much bigger they look imense made a difference aswell the aero catches which i ve put on hold cause they look like they re gonna be a right C U N T to fit "/ plus they re only carbon fibre rep and lastly the hybrid so with the exhaust thing in the other topic i have to get that sorted first which means my mechanic picking it up thursday and fiting a silencer, but the way i look at it is with the new turbo and screamer in a few months ima be insanley loud so ;) and cheers mate i love the hoodie too
  18. well the update is my exhast is getting cut and a fat silencer put in it seems criminal but all i can say is bring on the screamer
  19. so jelous you ll be Td04 before me looks sexual though
  20. as above everyone i know has hated it "/
  21. letter to the news Hello there. My name is Ben Barrett-Peck. I was recently on a program you did about the "D's" in Ipswich and "boy racers" On this program I spoke to a Kim Reilly and said that I would not call myself a boy racer more of a car enthusiast, I also told him how because of what can now only be described as police "harassment" I would refuse to drive my car around certain areas of the county. After your program was aired I drove my car to see my friend in Lowestoft and a police traffic car came behind me and DIDN'T pull me over, I assumed maybe someone had been told to back off??? Obviously thats only an assumption however I was left alone for a good 3-4 months until the harassment started again to say I drove my car, twice a week would be an exaggeration, however on my way back from seeing friends in Gt Yarmouth one night I was pulled over by a traffic officer, he asked if I knew why I had been pulled over, to which I said "I don't know as I wasn't speeding or anything" he then proceeded to tell me that my exhaust was too loud, he did a decibel check on it and said it was "illegally too loud" he said you can buy a baffle for these and that he suggested I put it in before driving my car again, he gave me a fixed penalty notice for the loud exhaust and sent me on my way. later I had my car tested with a baffle in that I brought off the forum (the police officer kindly visited me at home with a hand held tester, not the normal one as it was away being calibrated), however it was still above the 74dB that the police officer had stated. I looked into the surrounding laws of the exhausts arming myself with knowledge I went to ask another police officer what I was meant to do, did this mean I can never drive my car again? to which they replied "I cant tell you not to drive your car" I proceeded to borrow my parents car to get around while my pride and joy sat in the drive gathering dirt. I spoke to many people regarding this subject, as did my father, till we ended up talking to a traffic officer at Stanway Essex of 26 years about loud exhausts, he said we do not enforce that particular law around Essex, he said we will if at 2 o ' clock in the morning your racing around estates, we would enforce a section 59 Asbo on the car, but if your not being a nuisance eg revving at traffic lights etc we wouldn't bother with you. So now I found myself at a fork in the road, I had discovered that the law seems to change as you change counties? I thought ridiculous the law is the law surely? however he was right after going on car forums I did find that people were in fact laughing at my story, they had "never herd anything so ridiculous" but true enough if I was to drive my car to Colchester I would be left alone, if I was to drive in Suffolk I would be questioned until the other night, where the police officer told me he was issuing me with a prohibition notice which meant my car was never allowed on the road again after 23.59 10/06/11 until another officer of the law deemed my car to be allowed to driven on the road again. Obviously I am now at my wits end, I am always polite to the police when they deal with me, I have no motoring convictions yet the police still choose to target me, its funny really I don't even drink... at all because I like driving so much, the main reason for me to contact you however is that I really feel this is one of my last resorts, I know I can file a complaint with the independent police complaints commission, but I would really like to see this put on the news, that there is a law that can be enforced, if say the police officer is having a quiet day/night or is just in a bad mood, and that this law is enforced differently county to county not only that but they seem to target young drivers especially, almost like the playground bully picking on the smaller weaker class mates as opposed to the older child thats more likely to stand up for themselves, it upsets me as well that when I was in Gt Yarmouth with my friends and all the cars were along the sea front, there were traffic officer's in their cars at either end with all these cars driving around with loud exhausts yet they did nothing? I honestly feel like a victim here of what I would call police harassment and victimization. again I understand that my exhaust is illegal according to the police officers, but if mine is illegal then so is anybodies else's and the police should not just prey on people like my that work 5 days a week to save up for bits too their car as its their passion. obviously there is more to this story but I feel i have told you the key points. Taking on a different approach the law states that the decibel level while on tick over is 74dB for a 2 wheel drive and 82 for a four wheel drive, have you ever stood behind a Ferrari on tick over this is quite loud, but the police will tell you it is just engine noise and not exhaust noise (how they can tell the difference baffles me) the same applies to a Harley motorbike which I am sure you have heard the noise they make????????
  22. thats my point mate this law seems only to be enforced to certain people ? which isnt fair, my cars being taken to the garage thursday to have the exhaust cut and a silencer put in and that, which shouldnt effect performance only noise "/
  23. throttle boddied ect?
  24. yeah i saw that "/ was looking at the other videos... where are the police? they must know racing like thats going on?
