  1. OK fine, I'll take on your challenge. When you bringing it round? You can after you come and clean it How long do I get it for? You can have it for half the amount of time you spend cleaning it

  3. Because i drive my car on a road not a track
  4. I agree about the speed claims, but I am pretty sure there is no brick wall either - I don't recall seeing 180mph in the aerodynamics equations when I used to mess about with them Top speed is a tradeoff between slippery shape to reduce drag and enough down force to stop you taking off. For the cossie, the limit is probably the downforce generated by the spoiler driving the car down into the tarmac at the speeds mentioned - take the spoiler off though and ... well you take off More power = more speed if you get the aerodynamics balanced I'm a simple soul though and since drag goes with speed squared and power ~ 1/speed, I always reckon speed increases with power cubed. So if a car generating 100BHp can do 115mph, then - one generating 300BHp (Z) can do 115 * (300/100)^(1/3) or 165mph - one generating 400BHp (FI Z or Monaro) can theoretically do 182mph - one generating 631BHp (Murcie) can theoretically do 212mph (stats say 211 ) - one generating 1000 BHp (Veyron) can theoretically do 247mph (you can read elsewhere about the issues bugatti had reaching the theoretical max speed and it needs to be in a certain aero configuration to achieve it) By the above, you need in excess of 530BHp to be able to achieve 200mph I'm sure people can find examples to completely disprove the above, but it does work for most cases he dont care what I say None of us do

    MPG....

    About half that now Sarnie? I don't even look now
  6. ebay Be careful though as someone on here thought the same, bought one off ebay from a x-trail, and as far as i know it didn't work.
  7. I think the key to miles per tank is when you actually decide to fill up. I used to run mine from full to empty all the time. I used to get about another 80 miles out of the car once the petrol light came on
  8. And I demand at leat 6 feet either side of my car...............
  9. I have it, not played it for 2 months though..... Ditto. Got PGR4 on the go atm, but not touched that for a couple of weeks. Need to get a games room, XB360 doesnt see much action being in the living room Mine neither, 360 wii and my PS3 were all in the living room and had no chance of getting the nod over shitty soaps Didn't that problem solve itself recently? It didn't resolve itself. I resolved it. Halo 3 is now showing. All the time
  10. Exactly, you'll get a lot more for your money outside of the Cesspit/London
  11. Its correct now Well now its not Obviously desparate to get to the 10,000 mark....... Why, is there a prize?
  12. The only cost will be the hotel. I can book a massive table at the Jam house for us all. Suppose then your looking at what Mrs H5 spends in the bull ring
  13. I have never got near 200 mph
  14. Sarnie

    MPG....

    Mine was almost the same. I reset the computer the day i bought it and never touched it. The day i sold it it was 24 mpg
  15. Or you could just read your owners manual
  16. Yeah, I'm great and every one of my 9904 posts have been 100% nuggets of invaluable information.
  17. Ultimately, not a great deal given the ECU levelling thing. But surely that is why its been race tuned which is the first one on the list?
