  1. It rumbles on, VR has said, MM lost him the championship, errr, i think not VR.... Maybe this is what he wanted all along, a scapegoat..... Kick or no kick, he clearly looks at MM three times trying to run him off the track, when he does, he clicks down a gear and accelerates and even looks back again. Shame race control whimped out, anyone else would have got a dnf, but they didnt want to decide the championship in the stewards office so gave him the harshest sentence they could without affecting the points. Been reading around today, so many Rossi fans wont see it and keep banging on about MM holding him up here and PI, why go and win the race at PI and how can you hold him up, if your quicker get past and gap him like you have done so well in your whole career... VR to used to getting it all his way and when someone puts up a fight, Stoner, Gibernau even Jorge, they get stuffed and its just racing, learn to play by your own rules VR!
  2. Bck of the grid penalty, ridiculous.
  3. As they said on commentary, he threw a grenade and it rolled back under him. I think he knows he is not the quickest anymore and doesnt like it, especially with MM beating all his records
  4. Agreed and its not the first time, but always the smiling nice guy who has got away with it
  5. Most of the traders on here sell well priced side skirts
  6. Retest anyone would be my shout, we all have 12 points to "play" with, if you dont have the ability to learn a few times, it should be made very hard to get your license back. Full on retest and license issued back with half the number of points for 3 years. Hang on, lol, seems if i catch any of the cop programmes it doesnt seem to matter to a lot of people whether they have a license or not, they still drive
  7. Very interesting weekend ahead after the mouthing off from Valentino, have a read around about what he has been saying in case your not up to date. I do like that MM Mum has responded by putting up pictures of MM's bedroom with VR posters and models Imo, it sounds like VR is already giving himself a get out clause if he doesnt win the championship, thats how i interpret it. Danni for the win though

    GT-Four

    No not 57, they are Rotas after all I would only be adding stickers if they were Volks, OZ, something with some heritage

    GT-Four

    56 million times better The old wheels ruined the car imho, worth every penny And no to the Rota stickers
  10. An assessment at the very least with some key points of focus i.e reaction time, hazard awareness, car control etc I used to work with a guy who raced TVR Tuscans/Caterhams amongst others, the first time he ever raced a car, 42 and he won first time out. As Juggalo says, it wouldnt be a vote winner so will probably never be introduced, but it certainly would ease the number of cars on the road. Is there a compulsory retest if you get banned? if not there should be!
  11. You still had to pass the test and plenty of people had multiple failures, I knew someone who failed 5 times. I take your point that the test was easier, for example, I took my test in a small market town, population at the time was around 4,000. The roads were quiet and the test consisted of just 6 things, reading a couple of number plates, following the examiners directions, reversing around a corner, doing a hill start and an emergency stop and finally answering a few questions on the highway code. Oh yeah, we also had to do hand signals . Whole thing done and dusted in no time at all. Ok, I was being slightly sarcastic with the cornflake comment, sorry I presumed that was obvious. But, as you say above, do you really think the above test qualifies you to drive on todays roads? I am sure you dont, hell even my test some 25 years ago doesnt, but I would have zero problem with retaking a test. I could even fail, but I know I would pass again, its only the people who know they wouldnt pass that would complain. There are also plenty of people of a younger generation that shouldnt be driving, but, they all run the risk of being caught, when did anyone see an elderley driver being done for dangerous driving etc and by that I mean, driving at substatially below the speed limit, poor lane discipline, signals etc
  12. Rarely available 2nd hand but not to expensive from Nissan, circa £290.
  13. Replica, no, Chargespeed yes imho. Rt performance allow 2 days to fit theirs, should give you some idea about the amount of work involved.
  14. To be brutally honest, if your 70+ and driving you probably passed your test 50+ years ago or it was handed out free with vouchers from Kellogs cornflakes. Common sense with the powers that be should suggest that the driving test then is worlds apart to a driving test today and for good reason, how much have the roads changed in 50 years, how much has the highway code changed in 50 years. Retirement age and a compulsory test and every 5 or 10 years after. Its not about removing their independence, its about their ability to drive safely. Having said that, how many people do you sit behind that are young and think, how the f*** did you ever pass a test.
  15. Sikaflex or Tigerseal if you want to stick it permanently, or 3m Vhb tape.
  16. I think the diffuser is one of the nicest aspects of the Chargespeed to be honest, cut it off and you might as well just tuck a std bumper imho.
  17. Kind of like them in Paris Dakar kind of way strangely
  18. Seen them advertised, nice wheels, but you will without a shadow of a doubt need some big over fenders, custom work like the docs zed or a wide arch bodykit. Stock body, without running silly camber, the Weds in my photo is about your limit.
  19. Agree, but knowing the wheel he is talking about and with the spoke design they should, but they definitely wont fit under stock arches for the 2nd part of the question. This is an et20 on a 11j with about 1 degree of camber, so the above wheels will be circa 2" further out. Still for sale if your looking for some jdm wheels
  20. With that kind of offset you should be fine, i am guessing you are looking at the Works Vu's, but, there isnt a chance in hell they will fit without over fenders
  21. And still they keep loosing money Doesnt sound too good to me.
  22. Its unusual that just an exhaust will trigger the lights for lambdas, are you sure there not goosed or you already have aftermarket cats? Personally hated decats (i had silenced decats), the exhaust got very raspy and excessively loud, although the car did rev a lot more freely Some pass with hfc's, some dont, sorry to not be more helpful than that.
