Quite cool.... Just made meself a nice burgandy Evo VIII on 20's, slammed to the deck (very practical
) -
i would have thought its a good way to burn out your clutch pretty fast
:wave23d: I managed to "break" my clutch AND gearbox in the Punto with a combination of full-throttle gearchanges and also no-clutch gearchanges...

Quick one - myspace is working, if it helps with any suggestions
-
:bump:
if the weather's anything like it was yesterday, it should be an excellent day for it -
What about your own ISP's webspace.
Sorry - not 100% awake.
Can you explain further? -

Hmmm....
Any other suggestions peeps?
Edit: Just noticed myspace is down for maintenance
doesn't help me explain what I'm after... -
Just had an identical suggestion elsewhere...
Now I remember why I didn't use putfile... It hosts the video, but doesn't allow direct streaming of the video, it only allows you to put a link to putfile.com and therefore said video...
I'm really after a "direct link" style site if that makes sense.... An example might be my myspace page... (www.myspace,com/theoriginalbrowny) The skateboard and music videos are "direct linked" and immediately show. Not sure if this is possible though?
Edit: just realised... the myspace page might not be work safe, due to some "coarse language" which won't be filtered... my immediate apologies... didn't mean to offend

Does anyone know of a free internet site to host videos, in a similar vain to the mighty photobucket.com?
Googling has not produced a viable option so far....

Looks very smart indeed - and very clean too!
(might want to be losing the number plates on the pics though...)

Saw this a while ago - yes, looks just like a 350Z. But - allegedly - it's a better engine to tune (but I could be wrong).
Oh, and Newara Imports look to be the "expensive" end of Jap imports, i.e you get what you pay for. There are a lot of cheaper new Skylines around, e.g. car-ex japan for starters.

Not to hijack my own thread or anything
... If anyone is interested a fair few of us will be attending the last RWYB at Shakespeare Raceway, Stratford-upon-avon on Sunday 16th October. If anyone wants to meet up, let me know

My terminal speed was around 95 mph on my 15.5 run... so for a sub-15 second run I'd expect it to be more? :confused:
(Brain definately isn't running at 100% at the mo...)
Edit: re. the weight thing. If the weight is 1354, then my mate's rx7 should be lighter. Using the calculator mentioned above, that would make his 400bhp rice-mobile a sub-12 second 1/4 mile beast? Now I know he drives slowly
but I reckon I'd be hard pushed to get his car into the high 12's, TBH. -
Well, with 221bhp it'll obviously be quicker than mine...

especially since I know I can improve my reaction times. Although the difference is only 11bhp, and you need progressively (exponentially?) more bhp to reduce the times.
Your estimate at the 1/4 might be close, I can't comment on the others.

Andy vRS - did see a few Volvos, yes - including a new(ish) black C70 (I think) from Chip Tuning/Performance... From what I can remember they were running 14's, occassionally ducking into the high 13's.
Yeah, got 3 go's without pushing it too much, a mate got 5. Max wait was about 10 minutes, which is nothing really.
Bengie - it's well worth it. The only pressure you're under is from yourself, it's a good laugh especially if you go along with some like-minded friends, and there's a nice relaxed atmosphere.

After messing around for the entire summer, drinking too heavily on Saturday nights :rotz: :tired:
:zombie: :pimp: , finally got round to taking my car over 70 mph legally at Shakespeare Raceway near Stratford.Had 3 runs - started with a 15.6 (against an Integra Type-R), then a 15.7 (against a mate in an rx7)....
Final run was up against a lovely 12-second Skyline :eek: . Started nicely, then noticed I hadn't turned off the ASP (sp? can never remember...) or air-con.... So chuffin' annoyed, my 2nd to 3rd change was very half-@r$ed indeed.... and ended up with a 15.5
. Very strange.All this, in an Octy vRS with 210bhp and the world's heaviest parcel shelf on the back seats (because my mate didn't want to weigh down his rx7 - reckon it cost me at least 3 seconds per run
)Very nice day, good weather, excellent experience, and will be there again in 2 weeks time to try and improve.

Looking well tasty mate
I'm probably with a few people in saying you don't normally think of a Mk3 first when you're thinking of Golfs, but that looks mint. Love the wheels, stance, and the colour. Bet it sounds gorgeous too!
Nice one

what car do you have? an octavia vRS?
D'oh! Forgot about that... Yes - a red one
with CAI and Milltek rear section exhaust... The blokes on the rollers looked a bit sheepish once 400bhp came up - as far as we know it was the second most powerful there (after a 420bhp+ Holden - so want one
) - especially considering it produced more than any of the Scooby's there (including the race-specced ones!) -
Went to Powerstation near Tewkesbury for an open day rolling road session on Saturday... Managed to get 208bhp, which means that before I had the car someone had Superchipped it
which is quite nice... Unfortunately, my mate put his recently imported and quite cheap 3rd gen twin turbo unknown spec RX-7 on the rollers, and got 402.4bhp :eek: which we were all quite amazed and pleased at.
Good bunch of blokes there too, friendly, quite large workshop too (not surprising given that Litchfield Imports are right next door
)(Which means I shall be selling my car to upgrade, so I shall post another thread in a while with piccys and stuff.)

Ah... AFAIK your best place for Skoda headunits will be on fleabay... unless someone on here has one for sale...
-
There are plenty of head units that can play mp3's within your "refund" budget... Take a look at caraudiodirect.com (I'm sure many others here will point you in other directions too...), and have a browse...
I think most new CD headunits come with mp3 facility on them, saving on having to have a CD changer.

Hello and welcome :orb_wave:

0-60 60-100 100+ all feel fast to me i drive a vrs octavia lol my last car was a 1.2 punto
Joel
Ditto!!!
Admittedly, I've got used to the speed now, which is why you always end up looking for more power...
300bhp Nissan 300zx coming soon

Trouble with imports is that you don't know the history' date='so if it's been thrashed to death, it's your problem. I know someone who bought an imported Mitsubishi FTO, and it cost her 3K for a new engine after 6 months......

Admittedly though, same goes over here if you're out of warranty on a car - anything can go wrong at anytime. You pays your money, you takes your chances... Best to take it to a specialist to get it checked over - the money you save from importing it would easily cover this.
-
A good friend of mine has just imported an RX-7 through an import website... Absolute bargain!! Given that we reckon it's got about

What are your 1/4 mile times?
