  1. Yes, awesome kept the suspense by not showing that criticle last 1500 rpm on the n55 It was indeed virtually identical at 5k, was quite interesting. We had a chance on the way home to find out a bit more but I was to busy comparing a sign to my nav and completly missed the jump, doh! And thanks for organising Mike
  2. misfire did sound pretty bad Mike, surprised they got a full run, does it do it on the road to? mine was actually 372bhp + 410lbs (the quoted 380 was a spike after the run was done, actual peak across the 3 runs was 372 each time)
  3. nope, spectators reduce the power output of participants cars
  4. Another135? Cool. Which version mate and any mods?
  5. Typical No probs Al, its driving fine so ill struggle on
  6. Al,do you do alignment inc camber? I got my track rods free'd so I need front and rear toe setting and the rear camber. Ill provide the settings. Ive been ****ing about with it all and its miles out. Drives ok (pretty sweet tbh) and straight so will be fine on the rollers, but it needs doing properly, theres only so close you can get with a bowed piece of 2x2 and some marker pen If you do can i book a session after the RR?
  7. That smily looks wrong, i thought it had a face on it?
  8. uh? I was starting to look forward to staying in bed! Thanks for sorting something out tho Al :love:
  9. tbh, id be tempted to fail that (if i was a tester, which im not!), if an eye isnt kept on it it could go right through and deflate. Id say turn it round to the outside where you can see it and it would be safer. Safety is the most important thing. Looks a bit like a tracking issue to me?
  10. If you want a fun drive petrol always wins. I dont think its about performance, sound, smell etc but how the engine reacts. A petrol is sharper in its response than a deisal, making it much nicer to drive. Petrols also have longer rev ranges, for enthusiastic driving this is much easier to use. It makes gear ratio and selection much easier and its less corruptive to the chassis (im no honda fan, but this is what makes a type r great) There is also weight, a diesal engine is so heavy compared to a same powered petrol. imo, these things make, today, the petrol engine a winner for a sports car. Or, would lotus fit an oil burner in there next car? ive never driven an electric road car, but ive raced leccy and ic RC cars and the ic simply wipes the floor with electric. It has infinitely more character and you can waste energy and laugh about it. With a battery every degree of steering lock is a mile less youll travel!
  11. it is a lot of car for the money, but i wouldnt get one either. And ive never not had a Rover on my drive!
  12. wouldnt get your hopes up mate, those that are going to pay have paid...... And i got no interest from the Rover forum. Well, 1 person till I mentioned paying and then the ether got him.
