actually it does it because of torque, the engine has enough momentum to drive the weight of the car just on idle revs. if there wasn't enough torque in the engine and you tried it the car stalls out. prime example is you can pull away in a diesel without using the accellorator as the higher torqued engine can pull its self on idle revs. big engines like V6 and v8s etc can also do this. just. try it in a 1.1 little thing and it usually stalls out without revs.

i like the Berk HFC's top piece of welding perfect fit, good results, no compromises when it comes to MOT etc.

is this definite, tested etc as got some decats but won't bother if they eat torque! on there own they might be alright, but i've seen it on plenty of other cars where the exhaust system is made "free flowing" yes the BHP gain is very good, but its all at the top end, and in order to make any use of it you'd need to be 4th gear doing over 120 mph or more to see its advantage. what you tend to find on most fully free flowing systems is they lose a load of grunt low down, like pulling away at a jun ction/lights etc most don't notice it with the added noise etc makes them feel like they are faster. most people only care about the numbers they can claim down the pub, but real world driving and the fact that on road cars they won't pass an mot and you need standard equipment on i wouldn't bother with them unless you were building a track car. i also don't like them on the zed because they tend to lead to a horrible raspy noise. to me it sounds chavvy and cheap, but to others they think it sounds "racey". but this is my personal opinion, and many disagree with me, so your best bet would be to g oand try someone elses car who has them already fitted. if you like them fit them, if you don't, sell them.

i always liked the m16 throttle body engine conversions that some people did on the 306's

did they try a dukes of hazzard jump or something is that why it looks broken? thats the gayest thing i've ever seen, if it had been driving behind a gay pride march everyone would think they were all straight as that car is so gay

Decats do aid higher BHP figures but sacrifices low down torque. Hi flows don't get the highest figures but are a nice compromise between torque and top end BHP.

happy to take some at the south east meet on the 28th as you will be there, and i'll have my DSLR with me and tripod.

i'm happy to take hi res pics for people at the south east meet next week.

they are decent wheels, and therefore cost a fair wack even 2nd hand. they are worth it, but you'll have to wait for the right buyer willing to pay that amount. sad to say these days people aren't always willing to pay for quality and would rather spend a third less for heavy cheap copies. be patient and a buyer will turn up but it probably won;t be a quick 1 week turnaround.

i bet your foot is still resting on the go faster pedal.

he may not be lying, he might not actually know anything about the car. not everyone who buys a car actually looks much more than beyond the dash. ask a range of BMW drivers and apparently most of them don't know their car is RWD. let alone its BHP out put etc. the only way to find out is to go check it out.

try it and post up pics for us to see.

a'm ooout

is this not the same as just hiring a supercar for the day/weekend/week/month then you can drive it however etc. no one sat next to you and someone else picks up the repair bill. but then you pay for this service as its highly expensive. because of the possible costs incurred, thats why the supercar experience days exsist. they get a group of people together give them a small amount of time on track and it only costs a few hundred compared to hiring a super car on an individual bases which costs 1000's a day. personally i think your business model is flawed, you'll either have to charge very high amounts to cover the costs, and people won't sign up for it, or your costs will be low but with running 1/2 vehicles you may find repairing them etc eats out your profit. your also heading in to a very saturated market with a limited client base. in difficult financial times. i'm not saying you couldn't do it more that it would need alot of financial planning doing and a decent business plan put together to see if it would be viable. if it was me i wouldn't be investing in it.

that only works if you also add in the variable for those who paid in full and those who have it on finance. i bought mine 4 years ago when they were expensive to buy, and paid cash outright and was 26 for what i paid then i could buy 3 zeds for the same money. there are still people on here who bought them new who piad twice what i did; the demographics have changed dramatically i think from a while ago.

and then burn them with fire

but for £8500 you can't complain at that price. I would 400hp can be done for sub £5K then you'd need to be able to buy the Zed for £3500 to make it a competitor i know they are cheap but they aint that bad yet.

ah AK beat me to it

isn't it 3 years from the date of sale, so if you bought it on the 30th of march 2009 then the MOT is due the 30th of march 2012
