  1. Wouldn't surprise me, I must admit.
  2. Many mistakes there, from all involved. Lack of awareness, lack of space, lack of courtesy, lack of talent. Very poor driving all round. This is why I pay that bit extra and go with people like BaT, who have very clear rules on stuff like this.
  3. Power is irrelevant, it's power delivery that counts. Only you can know whether you're happy to settle for lag in your FI setup. That will determine which route you go down.
  4. Mk1, about £35K. You'll need deep pockets though still, and many around that price are getting due for diff rebuilds if they've not been done.
  5. Have to say, it massively helped having driven far more laps of the track before going this time. Didn't help with the wet line unfortunately, but it was proper helpful other than that.
  6. 2WD for the men, 4WD for the girlies
  7. No. It has an AMG badge on the back but is in fact just a boggo SL500. Also, the wheels look retarded with brakes that small.
  8. Been playing Thief some more today. It's still sh*t, so don't waste your money on it, Decided to get Titanfall as well, so I'm downloading that now. Just want something fun and brainless.
  9. I don't know what the engine size of a Corsa VXR is. Or a current BMW 328. No reason the kid should've known really, might've been nice to inform him rather than boot it away when he was showing some interest.
  10. Any one who doesn't consider the Elise should be made to hand both Man Card and driving licence back.
  11. It's a Nurrish nav.
  12. That's called selling.
  13. Not for me. Kinda removes the point of a good VTEC engine.
  14. Impossible to answer unless you know intended usage. Weekend blaster = Elise Classy sports car = Boxster NOISE = TVR
  15. I didn't do it to be malicious: I even posted up a link to the FS rules in the OP's thread too.
  16. ^^^ This. Your post didn't confirm to the FS rules, so I reported it.
  17. 2003?
  18. Agreed. Doesn't drive half as good though, which is a shame.
  19. Rear tyres should match the fronts in terms of manufacturer and model. Size is obviously different in terms of width. Chain should last the life of the car, in theory. Certainly no need to change it unless it's started to stretch or cause you other issues.
  20. I think the thing with 911s is that you either get on with the RR layout, or you don't. For some it will always feel weird and awkward, for others it's the most natural thing in the world and you wonder why all cars aren't made like that. No right or wrong answer, just what people get comfortable with. It took me a while to get used to the weight distribution, but as soon as you get that lightbulb moment it's like nothing else.
  21. Good, aren't they?
  22. Non-revup DE and HR cars aren't known for using a lot of oil, but you should still check on a fortnightly basis at the very least. Definitely not leaving it a couple of months! It's a pain, but you'll have to learn to read the stick.
  23. And that's pretty much as standard, too. Lucky sods.
  24. It's a load of crap, that dipstick. Best thing to do is to drain the oil completely, then refill and measure: That way you'll have a 100% guarantee that what you're seeing on the stick, however odd, is what a full sump looks like. The other trick is to paint the end of the stick white, with Tipp-Ex or similar. Much easier to read then
  25. Or you could just buy a 996 Turbo, which don't have any of the engine issues at all. The Mezger is a solid ol' lump.
