  1. In a straight line up to 70 ish, there's nothing in it. Over that and the 645 will start to pull away, of that I'm sure. In the corners it's a different story, the extra weight shows up there and it's definitely not as nimble. On the longer corners and when provoking the rear it's actually more stable due to the longer wheelbase, but it's definitely a cruiser rather than a sports car! That said, now I've done the suspension it's much better, and I'd argue better than a stock 350 up to a point. It struggles to get the power down as easy on corner exit as no slippy diff and I'm running relatively skinny rear tyres (on purpose), and with so much torque down low it's very easy to get the back end sliding. Which isn't always a bad thing...
  2. Nothing more exciting than buying a car you've not seen, exactly what I did with my VXR220. I hadn't even sat in one, so I didn't know if it was comfy or if I'd even like the drive or anything. So stupid, but so exciting too! Enjoy your new purchase!
  3. It's worth doing your ARDS just to be able to casually drop into conversations that you're a racing driver
  4. I'd rather just have the car that drove the best. I prefer to drive my cars rather than pose in them, you see.
  5. If they played it on a Saturday night so I didn't have to go to work the next day, I'd love to watch it
  6. Roses are red You've got a great gob I'm in the mood For you to suck my soup through your teeth even though it's usually irritating
  7. Roses are red Your body is slinky Now come over here And grab a hold of my arm before you fall over in those heels
  8. Roses are red This rhyme is silly I'm feeling lonely So please kiss my forehead
  9. LOL I should clarify the card and message is for the misses / GF....not the Car ! I'll stick with my previous comment... I'm not doing that car key in a bowl thing! You don't know what you're missing. Always something new to learn!
  10. I just want to drive my car, not put my willy in it.
  11. I always sound very old! Hell, at 36 I'm well into middle age by my reckoning anyway. Gadgets that are helpful I like, but gadgets for the sake of gadgets or gadgets that take away from driver control I don't want. MP3 compatibility? Yes please! Being able to stream FB to the HU? No, do not want. Bendy headlights to go round corners? Yeah, helpful. Lane assistance? No, if you need that turned on you're a 'tard I don't want to share a road with. As for driver-less cars, I can't think of anything I'd like less. Apart from electric ones.
  12. Don't be ridiculous. Clearly you just need a bucket of tar and a brush.
  13. Which for most people, is probably what they want. Something that takes little effort, delivers good results but with little risk. It won't last as long, but it'll certainly give that wow factor. But yeah, I'm pinching bullshit products as a new catchphrase
  14. I think walking is preferable to a mk3 Golf. VW are so lucky they were able to pull the brand through that particular screw up.
  15. So Astra, Golf, Astra, Golf?
  16. Just another reason not to buy a modern car overloaded with useless tech that can go wrong.
  17. Game thread ongoing here, there's a few players of that in there
  18. Which normally turns out to be chuff all.
  19. I agree, i wouldn't put anything other than the Rays on the 350 unless it was for purely style reasons. To get lighter than them, you've got to spend the big bucks which is better put elsewhere IMHO.
  20. Apparently that's only the testing livery: The actual car will have much more yellow on it.
  21. Assuming he has the Rays, of course.
  22. But he has committed a crime, not filing in the s192 request, for which he was fined and given points. You cannot start charging people with PTCOJ for not telling people stuff. If you did, you'd have to start charging rape victims who didn't name their attacker, which is plainly ridiculous.
  23. If you want to go faster, do the brakes, wheels and tyres first. If you just want bigger numbers, then a plenum spacer and a remap with what you've got will be fine.
  24. You would hope it's not down to using low octane fuel, and that you read the label inside the fuel cap before filling up, so you didn't actually put low octane fuel in. Get the codes read, either a reader or using the pedal dance.
  25. Also, the M4 is a pile of crapness. Review coming soon, but suffice to say it was a huge disappointment.
