  1. DA:I is amazing. My heroine is dressed like a slut, which just makes it funny when she goes all "I'll save the world!" on me
  2. I've done pretty much back to back launch controlled launches in a 997.2 C2S and a 458. One is 0-60 in a smidge over 4secs, one in over half a second quicker. The 911 felt much quicker to 60, but was a billionty times slower once you actually started motoring. So no, 0-60 won't give you a good idea of how quick a car feels in real life. 30-100 is a much better scale for proper fast stuff, or even better 50-150. Look at a stock 350: 5.9secs doesn't sound quick, but once you get moving it's quite nippy! FWD is even better, as most of the turbo hatches clock in around 5secs but once you're rolling a remapped one will be epic.
  3. Ahhh bugger. How are you getting on with FC4? Was hoping they would have it on offer in the store over Christmas but it's not dropped. It's alright. There's just a bit too much to do and it's all thrown at you at once, which makes it hard to figure out whether you should do main or side quests. Also the main story is really dull, and no-one has any character. I mean, it's pretty good fun and there is a lot to do, but it feels more like a game from 5 years ago than something new. Starting DA:I now though, should be a life drainer

    eBay.
  7. It was everywhere mate, it was only for a short time though so they may have stopped it now
  8. We don't, we just use RON and they use MON. Their 87 is our 95, and their 91 is our 98. They then go higher than we can easily get hold of, so really they're better off than we are

    Why do you need different ones?
  10. Personally, unless you're the kind of guy who loves getting his hands dirty and/or has a mountain of cash to burn, I would too.
  11. To keep OEM reliability, you have to stay OEM. Saying that, NAS intake and exhaust mods aren't going to make any real world differences to the longevity of the V6 at all. Any FI options will though. As for what the engine will take, I'd take a look at the U.S. forums or ask Octet, as they'd both be much more knowledgable than me on that one.
  12. What a kit will put out and what an engine will tolerate are completely different things.
  13. If you like OEM, stay OEM. It's the only way to guarantee you don't change the car. Other than that, the good man above me has it all covered.
  14. Must admit, I can't see anything obvious either, but that just be me.
  15. Indeed, buy US parts from a UK supplier With a built engine, the sky is the limit. You could put £10k in easily, but you'd get a lump capable of 800bhp for that. My mentioning of that may be a bit of a purple pilchard, a DE is safe up to about 400bhp without too many worries and a HR more like 600bhp. Of course, if you want 500bhp and own a DE...
  16. Do you mean the optional 36K mile warranty? They mention it on their website but there are no details on it, which is really helpful. My gut feeling is that it'll come with a lot of get out clauses, hence the reason it's only offered on the stage 2 kit. Regardless, any FI addition to an engine IS going to harm it. You can do it as properly as you like, but unless you're going to build an engine for it then you are going to get increased wear and tear across the board. You could halve the life of the engine easily. Would it bother me? Not a jot. My own MR2 has an aftermarket turbo conversion, and I'm fully aware of the risks of it going pop, but I'm also not letting it bother me. What I will say is that I would never buy direct from the US on something like this, as it's a lot of hassle if anything goes wrong (been there, done that, nearly bought a plane ticket to go and sort it out!). Pay a little extra and buy from a UK supplier, that way you've got all the law over here to fall back on which is much simpler than faffing around with different laws from different states.
  17. Lol OP fail
  18. These things are so personal, just get the one you like the best. First one is a bulgy stuck on piece of tat, second one looks really good but every single person in the world ever has it. No right or wrong answer, have a browse through the posts on here and grab some inspiration
  19. Much better pics!
  20. As I said on FB, I feel sorry for the people but I won't shed any tears over the company departing.
  21. Vinyl plates are legal, they just won't pass MOT and do not conform to the correct standards so you're asking for a 7 day wonder. Just stick a normal size plate on the bumper where it's supposed to be. Any lower and you risk blocking airflow to the rad, any higher and it just looks a bit silly.
  22. Lol snowball fights on GTAV!
  23. What can I say, I was too busy celebrating!* *playing Xbox
  24. Christmas may now begin.
  25. Hey, that's pretty good pal Do a big Z in icing on the top!
