Predictable question :D:D Does anyone know the transmission loss for an auto gearbox? In percentage terms, nothing lightened etc? The RR setup couldn't cope with calculating the transmission loss due to running down in 2nd gear (as opposed to 4th in a manual). As a result I got a flywheel figures of 403 & 397 :rofl: today Had a few goes trying to sort out the losses with the guy, and my best RWBHP was 268 - any ideas what this equates to @ flywheel? :confused: The RR flywheel assumed losses of 135BHP :eek: This was the reason all the autos had unexpectedly high flywheel figures...

as the beast from the east has now been sold but with the install in im now going to go the whole hog again with a monster install to beat all others ive been to sq+ and know what i want but before i do i was wondering if bob the audio guru still was around as im sure he would much prefer me to spend 5-6k with him instead of them:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

You've only menntioned your damn fine and totally accurate 403 bhp twice as far as I can see!! Is this from a sense of restraint or just cos of the threat of THAT parking video????;) :D

Well after my whining earlier about my car not being upto spec, it seems that it managed to come up with the goods for today. I would have posted my chart earlier but I have now discoverd that my scanner doesn't work with win2k :( Had a great day, lots of nice peeps and cool cars, very tentative moments being at the top and watching the next MEGA ZED go on and risk turning me into second place. I am totally astonished with what it put out, especially compred to the other cars that turned up. Here's my chart for those that are interested. C ya all at the next one...

Well not surprising really is it? My car went into SE (Nissatek) on Wednesday night for top secret tuning, and it was so secret it didn't happen. I turned up tonight to pick up the car and it was on the ramp and not coming down. So, you lot will all see it tomorrow looking really manky and still running under powered. I know other customers were let down has well, but it's a shame really. Dunno what else to say. Will be there tomorrow to pick up my mota for Sunday's activities. look forward to meeting all you nice peeps.

just got a jap spec swb tt zed and need to get it checked over and serviced belts oil etc who do you guys recomend and what will it cost me :D :dance: :dance: :dance:

I have now driven my 91 NA for a while, and also have got hold of a TT soarer. So now I know what it's like to drive a twin turbo without anyone flinching beside me thinking pleasedontcrashmycarpleasedontcrashmycar. (I just think it myself) I have never got the rush from my NA that I get from the twin turbo. It just CANT accelerate like that. It is a gorgeous car, but when i put my foot down in the TT it just rockets. And that's just a Soarer. I put a post up here just before I bought my NA- it was asking whcih I should go for, an NA with low miles and tons of history, and a modified TT with higher miles and no history. I was a tit. i should have risked the TT.…

What should I do with the wheels I bought at Billing from a fooking dodgy as fook tw@t??:D

one of our sales guys has fallen asleep in a new SL500!! picture taken - saved as his wallpaper!!! :D :D :D

I'm getting married at Noon tomorrow (Friday). I just got back from dropping the car off at the Hotel where we're staying tomorrow night. It was such a good photo oportunity I couldn't resist. :D Tim's Toybox. Tim :D

Cant believe that after weeks of looking forward to coming down to SE and meeting everyone and getting me bitch on the rollers (the car) i even worked round the clock to get my new ICE sorted for it and she broke....its just depressing :cry: Ahh well have a good time and take plenty of pics Kirbz

Travelling down Sunday morning? Convoy anyone?

Three men are walking down the street, each has 10 pounds. They decide to buy a tv set so they go into a shop. They see a tv for sale for £30 so they put their money together and buy it. Just after they leave the shop the manager asks the sales assistant what he just sold, the assistant says he sold the tv that was for sale for £30, the manager tells the assistant that it was on sale and was only £25 so he gets £5 and tells the assistant to give the guys their money back. The assistant runs out the shop and thinks to himself that he can't split £5 between three people so he gives each guy £1 back and pockets the other £2. So each bloke has only paid £9 each, 3x£9= £…

I have tried to soop it up a little by adding a little music. ;) Here it is The Old Thermostat V's The New Thermostat I hope it bores you as much as it bores me ;) Hehehehe Stuart

The first of two KILL BILL films - comes in hard & slashing. Overall a good film if you like martial arts with plenty of non - CG work. Coreography is first rate - bit of wire work here & there other than that it is top notch stuff. Good plot - keeps you sucked in thanks to a pukka script. The final cut is very graphic - and Ridley Scott would be proud of the stylish viewing. Sound lets it down as it is not the best use of current sound technology - so dont expect aural fireworks when it hits DVD. I urge you to watch it - especially if you like zeds as a Jap TT makes a welcome cameo - it seems that Tarantino has taste! Of course the other reason is …
