    VED gone up?

    I'm in the high tax band aswell. Well worth it for the added luxury of the interior and upgrade lights imo
  2. i had the golf twin charger and it was awesome. I ripped that things arse in constantly and still returned 40 to the gallon. I done a run to london and averaged 49mpg
  3. from time to time a supercharger kit comes up for sale on here. Usually second hand will cost around 4kish. if your going forged internals then you might aswell go the full hog and twin turbo. This will just lead to more and more bills though and the running costs etc go up. You can end up spending way more than you bargain for.
  4. get a build done mate, go for it TT ftw
  5. for 400hp youre looking at around 4-8k mark. That seems to be average. Stock internals will take 400hp safely on the de engine ive been told. If youre going twin turbo you'd be looking at a full build which is 10k +. No point in running TT on stock internals as you wont get to use all the power/torque it can produce
  6. Davy your cars stunning the way it is!!!!! I love the look of the veilside stuff in your car which I usually don't like. Your car is cracking mate. Save up for some more power! Ive just invested in nitrous lol. Can't wait to get it done.
  7. Haha I had a few hairy moments coming through the chicane and not lifting and caught the Kerb. The back end caught some air and the active stability kicked in lol. My times are getting better. The nitrous will be goin in the weekend following lakez. I should shave a good bit of time off going up the straight as that's where the car struggles in comparison to the lighter cars and evo's. 1min 5 is an ok time for my car. There was a black m3 (not the newest shape) which gave me a good race two of is were pretty evenly matched. He had huge ap racing calipers which helped him out a lot.
  8. lol he was fast but once i get my fat ass moving i caught him. he was pushing hard lol, just a bit old i think. the clio sport was rapid, fully track prepped and very very light, i was faster through the corners though which is surprising as that thing should have been a lot quicker.
  9. this is a video from an evo on the track i make an appearance at around 6minutes and he passes me just before 8.
  10. in car vids added to 1st post
  11. sell the rats..i mean.. degu's you could have had a 370 by now and a 350 with the money you have spent on them
  12. not too sure mate to be honest, i wasnt really counting. Probably around 10-12, maybe more. Just about to fire up a couple of in car videos.
  13. haha the camera mount kept falling off lol, seems like knockhills more aggressive that wales lol. I got a good few laps with it on so i will edit and get them up just now.
  14. Hey Guys just thought i'd throw up a few short vids from last night. My dad was camera man so forgive him for not pointing the camera where he was looking I still have to crop and edit the good stuff from inside the car, but silly me had the fans on full blast and you can barely hear the engine noise lol This is just a rough one of my dad catching me in the distance. These are just short driveby videos Here's some in-car vids. My best lap time on the evening was 1minute 5secs. (Timed inaccurately by my dad at the starting line lol)
  15. How am I missing the point? I have already stated that I agree with you. The statement I am making is that I cannot stand people complaining about others driving 'over the limit' on the road when they themselves do it also. That has nothing to do with your point which, just in case you need me to say one more time - I totally agree with. Ffs will you for the love of God re-read the thread and original comments....no one was that arsed about the driving.....just the fact it was posted up. Whoever reported the video (and no it wasnt me.....is rather have the entertainment of the aftermath) did so because it could of got Dj in trouble. For example.......youve clearly laid your colours down as a road warrior ......maybe the next time you ask Chris knott for a quote they might read this thread..... So what your saying is you called everyone forum monkeys, said you hated hypocrites but you werent referring to us you just meant the world at large........how very odd. Are you a mentol?
  16. well shes been teaching for at least 4 years now so i'm guessing about 5-6 years ago i'm not a big theatre fan, but it was alright ah my friend only started last year. I think cragus is the biggest fan of wicked i know hahaha, he's seen it about 4 or 5 times this year
  17. nice! brilliant show. How long ago was that?
  18. he out dogging until that time. So us normaltons dont catch him in his suspenders
  19. my wife used to manage that theatre The apollo victoria ? Did you ever get to go back stage for a squatch at all the dancers haha
  20. America has got some very very amazing singers. There was a young girl a few years back who was about 8 or something and she was unbelievable.
  21. when we were looking at craigs brides there was an extra connection after fitting the new harnesses for the air bag light.
  22. The problem with these sort of programmes is that britains real talent usually dont go on them. My mate jonathan said he would never do a show like it as he'd feel that it was the lowest point of his career as a musician. My best pal is in wicked in the west end along with a host of my other friends. These professionals are the cream of the talent in britain and will never be on these shows. All these shows are designed for is entertainment. For people to laugh at people who are really really shite and every now and again someone comes along who is pretty good. From the first show of bgt ,through, it was very easy to pick who would be in the final. The piano player may have deserved to be in the final but he never stepped upto the game. He made an arse of what could have been a fantastic life changing performance.
  23. ive been playing piano since i was around 3 years old. It was one of those things that came naturaly. Its very easy to obtain grades. I know a mate who is now at oxford but wanted it for his application, so he sat grade 5 theory and then learned his compositions for the exam and walked away with a grade 8. He's an awful pianist and cant sight read etc. When i was 13-14 years old i was playing the likes of rachmaninoff prelude in c# minor, chopin fantasie impromptu, loads of gershwin, liszt.. the list goes on. I never chose to go into teaching due to the fact i dont have the patience to watch people struggle as i never done it myself. I dont look like a typical piano player either and when i went to the rsamd i did not fit in one bit. This is my mate jonathan playing, cragus has heard him and he is by far the best pianist ive ever heard. He has just recorded a record not that long ago with john mayer. listen for the piano solo in piano man. This guy was my inspiration, i was up against him in alot of competitions etc and the only person ever beat me. He is fantastic and his abilities are endless.
