You missed poor in crash tests , but they are cheap (worth repeating )

nope ,

Sorry mate thats nonsense, you wouldnt notice it. Drag slicks do grow (Top fuel dragsters by about 1m) but not steel banded road tyres and no street car is going to have any appreciable difference with rolling resistance due to dropping a few psi .

First off dont worry about offending anyone My advice would be to have a sensible discussion with their estate agent, mention you have looked at other properties and like this but want to understand why the vendor feels that the value is where they have set it

You dont lose terminal speed by dropping tyre pressures , you do however make it hellishly unstable when braking in the shutdown

Drag racing is much harder than many people think

I tried garage floor paint from Screwfix, then 2 pack resin based paint and also tiles and the latter have worked best for me , they arent perfect as heavier cars can cause them to move about a bit and in hot sun they expand but i've fixed mine down in a few places with gripfill and they seem fine, they are nice to work on They have been down more around 12 years off and on as I took them up for a bit due to them moving with the 370z but they still look pretty good They are the same as Jez has at H-Dev and they are still alright there , i bought mine off him as he had spares left over.

For those that are interested I am helping to arrange a RWYB at Shakespeare county raceway weekend 25-26th March with the Skyline Owners , more the merrier for a fun day out , no pressure no racing just trying to get the best out of our cars

There is a guy in the US that has run into the 12.6's with a 370z with just a few bolt on bits and a map , getting a decent time is all down the first 60ft

I follow this break in proceedure , have done for the last 20 years http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm All the cars I have run in this way have made more than the factory quoted figures on the dyno

This was a 12.4@117 in Reggie the supercharged 370z

Only in the world of top gear does horsepower magically leak from an engine over time.

Ive had more powerful cars than my Evo 6 but point to point its still the fastest car I've owned by some margin , awesome things

What bike was that? Homebuilt 1981 Z1000j 1428cc 14/1 cr and nitrous, around 300hp . Raced in the Competition bike class I built about 5 different drag bikes between 1991-2005 started with turbocharged ones and then went to high compression + nos
