Oi I liked that wing Got a couple of ideas for the next car, but I’m in no hurry so we’ll see what turns up.

Now I know you’re trolling!

Again, you’re proving science, not sky fairy magic. There’s science behind why washing with clean water is good, or why blood is kinda important.

Why would you NOT want to go to Mars?! Interesting fact: Mars is the only planet we know of completely inhabited by robots.

Actually to put it another way... New discovery proves existing science wrong: ”Oh wow, congrats guys, that’s a brilliant breakthrough! We can all learn from this and move on!” New discovery proves religion wrong: ”Oh erm, well we didn’t actually mean that originally, what we actually meant was...”

But there’s no evidence for religion. At all. Absolutely nothing provable in the slightest. As @StevoD put it, it’s no more provable than Pokemon.

Did you even read ilogikals’s post? It’s not a good video. At all.

Also be aware that very few places stock NOS these days, and even fewer companies insure cars with it.

He didn’t. He’s talking nonsense, as there’s a ton of evidence regarding life on this planet from millennia ago. However, it’s easy to sit there with fingers in ears pretending that a man in the cloud invented everything because you’re too dim to actually comprehend the science involved. But that’s okay, if it makes him happy then that’s fine. Thankfully there’s millions of human beings who aren’t content to sit in the stone ages and actually want to advance. The thought that someone’s best guess two thousand years ago could actually turn out to be the complete truth is laughable, tbh.

No one ever said that a dog gives birth to a chicken That’s literally the most ridiculous thing you’ve said in this thread. Evolution says exactly what you’re agreeing with, that changes happen over many generations not suddenly. So on this, you’re actually in agreement with science.

Wheels are a great place to lose weight from, however if you have Rays on then probably not worth looking at anything else unless you've got serious cash to burn. From a standing start, the tyres will be the other big place to make gains from. The quicker you can transfer the power down the quicker you'll be moving, so pick a semi-slick to suit your budget and go from there. Aside from that, it's just going to be about weight as others have already said. Saving weight will be better than 5bhp extra from a filter, and cheaper too.

I wish! The CGT will have to wait for another few years methinks... Yeah, I did. It's okay though, at least I know exactly what seat I like now so I don't have to go and try another several hundred again!

So it's okay to believe something that you know to have been mis-interpreted by hundreds if not thousands of people? Let's assume you're right. What's the message?

Now sold. Although if the mods could leave this open just in case things go the way of the pear, that'd be great I am seriously going to miss this car. Honestly, if you even like cars one little bit you are simply going to have to own a V8 one day. You know the jump in awesomeness from a four pot to a V6? Imagine that but 10x as good. I could never ever get bored of that noise, that fighter jet-like ripping of the air as you accelerate in a tunnel.

Imagine trying it with a Flex

Deadline is now Tuesday 10th as per Japfest website, all other details are as per the first post in this thread

I reckon that sounds more like weight transfer than anything now. Not helped by it being wet so the won’t grip either. @StevoD will probably tell me I’m wrong though, he knows this much better than me.

To me, that's the perfect example of hof NOT to do it. I mean, if you were super master pro extraordinaire with the delicate touch of a butterfly but with the power of Tyson to control the machine then I guess you could do it like that, but for every other person on the planet then just no. It's almost like he's talking about using the leading edge of the pad to gain maximum control (which is correct technique), but then just takes it one step further and borks the whole process.

Hey, at least science admits when it's wrong. Religion sticks to the same tired dogma even when presented with the blindingly obvious.

To me, it sounds like you're not being anywhere near aggressive enough, combined with poor balance transfer. You need to be getting all the weight over the front axle and using much less steering: Right now you've got too much grip over the rear and too much lock on the fronts, so you're just ploughing on. Less speed, lower gear, more gas.

Erm, yes there is. It's called 'GW-11'. The diagram shows an X against every part that needs to be replaced after every disassembly. No idea what you're looking at

I meant more the inference that piped in fake sounds in a sports car are a good thing. They're not. At all.

IMHO they’re not even close to the Cups, and especially not the Cup2s. I mean, they’re still great tyres, but I’d still put the Cup2s above them by a fair margin.

Bushes. Worn bushes do an awful lot of clanking when worn, so I’d do those first.

Makes no sense not to fit one then. You sure you’ve not got gaskets in there, bud?
