  1. i work next to some form of police related lockup for cars with an office attached, they seem to cover, warwick/leamington and a fair amount of the M40, within this secluded area there are a few unmarked Volvo's and quite a few Octavia's in black as well as a marked Evo 9 and a marked hawkeye impreza sti... had one behind me on the a46 with his lights on, i was doing about 75, had no where to pull over, inside lanes queuing to go off slip road, (and he didnt want me) so i had to speed up to about 105 then slammed the brakes on and pulled in to middle lane, this is with a K1 so was making quite a noise, his passenger gave me the on the way past... didnt know what else to do really...
  2. ill be going this year but i was hoping to catch a race as apposed to doing a few laps myself
  3. K&N typhoon, ARC & GT design are the only 3 I can think of that have a mandrel bent pipe The Nismo R-Tune also has a black mandrel bent pipe i think
  4. pm sent
  5. im going on sat but i live 10 mile away and a m8 brought me the ticket, i enjoyed it last year tho
  6. if its replacement parts due to wear then dont touch it, it could however have had uprated parts installed? do you know if OEM?
  7. thats why i said behind the front grille, it wouldnt look right mounted into the bumper...
  8. on a very basic level there is no reason you couldnt get a single one and hide it behind the grille and then have some way of triggering it from in the car (maybe linked to the folding mirror button being pressed to close? past that my boss has got radar sensors mounted under all of the bumpers and all around her 5 series, they do the trick if the car is in park mode, though someone hit her after she parked it almost a week after collection so who knows
  9. it feels that way to be fair, with the bungs in the k1 on the drag strip i got a faster 60/120ft time and a similar terminal time, without i got a slightly slower 60/120ft time but a higher terminal speed and was actually .01 slower, anything when talking about .01 though could be down to the pie i ate pre run
  10. Im selling my K1 (without Y Pipe) with removable silencers for £200 + postage. Ill put it up in traders section with photos at the weekend, also, that pops and burbles on back off and sounds lovely (unfortunately to loud for my local track )
  11. performance wise doing laps on a track or point to point you usually gain more time by increasing the distance before you need to brake and the traction/hanlding round/through corners, so a lot of people believe that the best performance upgrades to begin with are brakes/suspension*. *this excludes zmanalex' 600bhp roadster although he has done the brakes id be suprised if that saved him more time than the 600bhp did
  12. Clutch wise 60k is about the point where they start to go south, the only issues with that is it depends how its been driven and cared for, as for the belts im sure someone else will be here shortly
  13. Happy new year y'all
  14. having heard H5's / robs install i can vouch for the quality, the definition in his system is unbelievable
  15. im not in anyway saying this is the same with all of them however. the bore at the end of the Y pipe does not necessarily mean that the centre section etc will or will not fit, i have tried k1/nismo/standard on standard and japspeed Y pipe and so far all have fit the gaskets/bolt holes that are needed.
  16. stock v stock through corners i think you would be chasin the tts, they have similar 1/4 mile zed pippin it slightly, tt takes off a lot quicker then the power delivery is odd, very smooth for a Twin turbo but didnt feel as quick
  17. i think i may have seen him going up the a46
  18. Since the office has closed down i am now using a £10k server and a gig network to play Quake 2 over and forcing all support staff to join in, development dont wanna play though at least it cant really be considered work, also somehow my phone appears to have slipped onto DND... odd
  19. at work all day, and at the moment really busy did come to work in my santa hat tho so all will be fine
  20. not convinced i have the top mounts as part of the kit? If you can see them let me know! anyone who disses my trainers will be given severe evils at the next meet. and yes i know the garage needs sweeping
  21. its a great day out as long as the weather holds, which for most of last season was good, although i didnt enter all the events, i only started dragging my car last year (as b4 that i had something +16 seconds) be good to see you there
  22. i know a decent road to a nice pub that does good food
  23. Thought i better post some pics so here goes Also, dont knock it
