    GT-Four

    Keep this up Coldel and you'll be sitting on a gold mine (if you're not already). That four will just go up and up in price. People will pay top dollar for a good one if you ever came to sell it.
  2. Love ghost in the shell. Shame they might make a mess of it. I wonder how similar to the matrix it'll be.
  3. Either way, i loved the sound of the flutter. i was running a hybrid ball-bearing turbo with a metal hot side impeller, straight intake and pop charger. Sounded really
  4. i had this on previous cars and was told that not running a dump valve leaves the pressure no where to go so, it will go back out where in came from i.e. the inlet and the flutter is the sound of it escaping back out that said part. Apparently it can cause impeller stall which isn't good but i think some people are being a bit of an old lady about it.
  5. i wasn't sure to be honest but the above posts have answered the question. it was just something i had come across on here from time to time.
  6. Someone shoot me down in flames if i'm wrong but, isn't the HR engine a bit more of a fragile flower than the oil burning DE?
  7. What really rubs my rhubarb is when someone is overtaking, at 0.5 mph faster than the other person. They practically need the whole bloody A1 to do it. If you're going to overtake then Nike...... Just do it!

    Looking super cool there coldel.
  9. undertaking, a pretty grey area. I never do it, if plod doesn't have enough hits that day or is having a bad day, i know he'll single me out and throw the book and the kitchen sink at me.
  10. it's probably a case of, is it possible or not? Looks like it's possible.
  11. Facelift E90 M3 even better!! I disagree, E46 M3's are a classic, the E90's always looked crap to me. E92 isn't too bad though Please take this with a grain of salt, as I haven't experienced driving one, so that would more than likely make up for it i've had one. It really is a much better car than the E46 in every way. At first i preferred the looks of the E46 M3 but the E90 M3 really grew on me. I wasn't disappointed.
  12. Facelift E90 M3 even better!!
  13. Once, driving behind a young lad in a Fiat Stilo with a back box a train would think was a tunnel, i followed him to a round-about with quite a heavy camber. He went straight, cutting over to the lane to turn right, which resulted in his back box hitting the tarmac due to the severe camber and ripped it right off!! i came to a stop and before i could get out of my car to help him, a kind old lady who had seen what happened, came out of her house and picked up the back box!!! But not for long as the volcanic heat of the metal barbecued her digits like chipolatas she screamed bloody Mary and dropped it. I was almost crying.
  14. The bite on mine was getting lower and lower, changed the slave cylinder, perfect clutch after.
  15. i know, it happens to me too. like you i like to have the windows down but, i know it's not helpful, i really do just close the window. At least until the water has been rushed off the car.
  16. If it was stupidly loud, with black rotas and a single exit exhaust, then it was me
  17. i got some open ended neon chrome ones from cougar, they look wicked, only downer is they tend to get a little rust on the inside. So, a lot of cleaning with Q-tips my friend.
  18. Feeling poorly Dan? Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk i bet he hasn't has his Berocca yet
  19. yeah, report it!! Cos it's not worth the money.
  20. JFTR, i thought it was quite funny.
  21. i'd have the RX7 in a heart beat. Love them. i think they're the best looking car to come out of japan.
  22. my old gt-four used to blow a little oil through the BOV, nothing special, more like oil mist passing through. Should be because of blow by. Do you get some oil collecting in the pipe between the induction that goes to turbo? if you do, it's normal. i had a straight intake on mine (see pic) and i'd take it off a couple of times a year to give it a clean, this was also due to blow by. Just as long as you don't have a reservoir's worth of oil sloshing about, a catch can will solve it as already stated.
  23. Pulsar GTi-R, ST165 and 185 GT-fours and the RX7 should all be classics IMO if they aren't already.
