Ekona Posted March 21, 2017 Author Posted March 21, 2017 I'm sorry I don't understand my own thread guys *goes back to running tongue over raspbery-flavoured glass* Quote
docwra Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 See above, the compound charged, mid engined, spaceframed, 4WD Lancia Delta S4. How many S4s did they make? Road cars? 200. However due to their immense price (£55K in 1985) they didnt sell very many and ended up crushing most of them. There are still 45 left, and they aint racecars ......... Already put the Veyron in as the defining technological marvel, did you know it changes its suspension geometry as it lowers itself? 2 Quote
brillomaster Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 I don't understand your thread either, but i'm contributing! after all, throwing in your opinion when you don't understand the question is what internet forums are all about! docwra, don't most cars change their suspension geometry as they get lowered??? 2 Quote
docwra Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Well, the geometry changes but not for the better, the Veyron actually sorts itself out so the toe, camber, caster and spring rates are the same when its running at 50 km/h and 400 km/h. Or at least so Ive been told, Im struggling to find anything to support this. Quote

Ekona Posted March 21, 2017 Author Posted March 21, 2017 I suppose all it needs is hydraulics on the adjustment points, a bit like the McLaren active suspension and the Porsche PDCC, but that seems a lot of effort. Also seems totally believable for the Veyron. Quote
LRF4N Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Lot of estrogen flying around this forum as of late. I blame it on being spring. Spring? This morning we woke up to 2-3 inches of snow lol 1 Quote

coldel Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 I suppose all it needs is hydraulics on the adjustment points, a bit like the McLaren active suspension and the Porsche PDCC, but that seems a lot of effort. Also seems totally believable for the Veyron. Have you seen the Netflix program Ignition? Yank program but they review the new NSX and really talk a lot about the capabilities. The suspension is unbelievable, it adjusts to different settings, by wheel, per bump...multiple suspension changes per split second. Not a case of just changing from Sport, to Sport+ to Track etc. but tiny iterations as the car moves. Astonishing piece of computer wizardry the NSX. Anyway, back to the thread... Quote

ATTAK Z Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Looking back through the thread I recognised some of the cars that I or my two sons have had so I thought I'd list them in the order they come up here Porsche 911 Evo 6.5 Tommy Makinen Black RRS Mustang Supra Aston Martin DB9 E-Type Land Rover Toyota Corolla Mini TransAm Escort Oh and did someone mention an Esprit V8 1 Quote
Aashenfox Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 ...ended up crushing most of them. I did not know that. What a crying hurtful giant hairy donkey bollock sized shame. I'm actually gobsmacked why anyone would do that. I still think the Clio is madder though, cos it had no purpose, they did it for the sheer f*** of it, and what a result. It's my absolute number 1 car I must own before I die (mk2), closely followed by the CGT, and then the lambo I promised myself when I was 14 (any one will do). Quote
Jay84 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 I dont know much about the Clio referred to. I assume it was a production thing unlike the JukeR and Aygo Crazy. Quote
docwra Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 The Clio was production, this is why Aashes saying its mental - there was no reason for it. The story on the Delta S4's is an interesting one that no-one has ever been able to prove (and I cant find reference for anymore Apparently the homologation cars were forgotten about after Lancia went bust for the eleventymillionth time and left in some Italian warehouse. When a new buyer of Lancia found them they thought they would make a quick buck by selling them off, still on their original, now perished tyres. Following two fatal crashes (probably due to the tyres and the fact the car was never crash tested) they decided the car was too dangerous for the road and destroyed the remaining examples. The other awesome S4 story is that they took one of the Group B cars round Estoril in gravel setup, including tyres, "for a laugh". Supposedly it would have qualified 6th for the F1 GP a few weeks before Link: https://www.redbull.com/gb-en/henri-toivonen-at-estoril-exploring-the-myth Quote
Stutopia Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Ekona started the thread, how can he be confused over the purpose of the it? Well. You do know right now he's almost entirely full of **** Doc? You'll all be delighted to know I nearly had a poo this morning! First one in over a week! 2 Quote

Other things I've asked is: what's this thing in my zed (it was/is a radar jammer). Yeah I know I should have looked it up lol 1 Quote
